Field.
Had something else in mind. Forgot it. Mashed on the keyboard. Ended up with most of "field". So I went with it.

Random Place That Just Popped Into My Head
Tegucigalpa
Apparently it has a pretty crazy airport. As in, a 65 foot cliff just beyond the end of the runway.
(Watching "Most Extreme Airports" on the History Channel.)

Today's Word(s) of the Day
Yay!
Ever since I've had a smart phone, I've always used a carbon fiber pattern for my wallpaper. Unfortunately, the new phone did not have one preloaded, as my previous phone did.
After some browsing, I have found one to my satisfaction

Bonus Word(s) of the Day
Inspirator.
Apparently some guy is an inspirator to the rest of his pit crew.
Thanks for that random NASCAR Pit Crew Challenge Announcer Man.

Eureka some more
Seems that they might be trying to get the same sort of interaction between Carter and Zane that they had with Carter and Stark.
Although I hope that Stark does at least get a cameo at some point in the last season.
Also, hoping that they manage to tie in the Carter And Zoe Seeing Themselves Leaving Eureka thing from the first episode. That'd be a nice way to bookend the series.

Dreamcatcher
'03. Telepathic friends and the military confront aliens. Based on a book by Stephen King. Starring: Morgan Freeman, Thomas Jane, Jason Lee, Damian Lewis, Timothy Olyphant. Tom Sizemore. Director: Lawrence Kasdan.
Morgan Freeman has some thoroughly impressive eyebrows.
Also, in the epic battle of Little Bird with minigun vs. Dude with MP5 and 1911, I think you'd generally think the Little Bird would win outright. But apparently in this one, its just a draw.

Finally got around to watching the tail end. After seeing the first half a few months ago.
I was left with the impression that due to the very precarious nature of the blue people's initial victory, there was little stopping the humans from coming back at some later date and demolishing the planet with superior firepower.
Or just destroying everything from orbit. Since its really just the rock stuff they're looking for, and not really interested in the ecosystem.

Logjam.
An announcer just used the word in the hockey commentary.
And I realized how funny it sounded. So, enjoy.

2112
Just noticed that my blog has 2112 posts. Or at least it did before I posted this one.
So, in that vein, let's have a little quiz: What's the significance of 2112?

Duh.
Was thoroughly confused in the hockey game why there were so many Rangers on the right end of the rink, and so few Caps.
Until I realized it was now the 2nd period, and they'd switched sides.

Mouthfeel.
What a ridiculous word. According to the label of the water bottle belonging to the guy sitting next to me, silica is "a mineral that contributes to FIJI Water's unique soft mouthfeel.
Today's Word(s) of the Day
Disheartening.
Was walking down the hall, taking a break from the lab. Told myself, "Sweet. Almost time to go home."
And then I looked at my watch.
12:42.

Out of Stock.
Was gonna get me a new phone. But it was out of stock. So, no new phone.

Aaron's 499
One of the NASCAR announcers just made a Kentucky Derby analogy.
Seems those 2 sporting events have vastly different audiences (stereotypically)

Space Twister
'12. Devastating cyclones threaten to destroy the Earth. Starring: Erica Cerra, Mitch Pileggi, Leah Cairns. From Canada.
Syfy Saturday Movie from 4/28.
Jo Lupo makes a pretty hot scientist/nerd. In general, I'm not a fan of glasses with the relatively thick black frames (i.e., hipster glasses), but she can rock them pretty well.
Also, the nerd-in-disguise high school kid is bigger than the football player. The NID being who looks to be preordained to be the main character hero guy. NID being an acronym for this guy's name, and not the randomly acronymed agency or whatever it is from Stargate SG1. And this one is probably less evil. Or infiltrated by evil. Or whatever that plot line was. Or actually plot lines. Because there were quite a few of them. And most of them involved that Agent Malcolm Barrett guy who kept trying to get into Sam Carter's pants.
And by bigger than the football player, I mean he's easily a foot taller. Can't tell much about their relative physiques due to them all wearing relatively bulky baggy clothing.
And Mitch Pileggi's character (or should I say Col Caldwell) is named Gunter. Which is kinda funny. Would be improved with an umlaut though. Although, nothing's saying that he doesn't have that umlaut in his name and random "State Hydro" lady just sucks at pronouncing germanically awesome names. Also, he's wearing overalls.
Also NID's teacher dad has a pretty awesome rapist van. Although he decided to go a little incognito, going with the dark red/maroon, rather than the ever-popular white.
And he's currently rocking the hoody/vest combination. Which I probably would have mocked a few weeks ago. Before I ended up doing it myself, and discovering it worked pretty well. Although he's gone for the puffy vest or down or whatever. And mine was more of a fleece.
He has the worst tires in the history of time. He's on gravel. Spinning his tires because he's stuck. But no gravel is moving. At all. So, either, his car can levitate, which is awesome, or his tires just massively lack traction. Based on the beat-up, rapist look of his van, I'm leaning towards terrible tires, and not an amazing technological innovation.
Wherever this supposedly takes place, it seems to have rather inconsistent weather. Because there are randomly green areas with deciduous trees and what not, and others completely covered in snow. Also, I'm wondering if any of my readers are going to call me on the fact that I'm complaining about inconsistent weather in a movie named after a weather phenomenon with extra extra-terrestrialness added. But that would involve my readers actually reading this far into my review. Which I'm not sure will occur. Although, I have been rather lax about posting recently, so if my bloggers are missing this blog, then there may be a chance that they will continue reading further than they might otherwise. But who knows. Anyways, I'll continue typing, as this movie is only about half done, and perhaps this paragraph of doubting my readers will be buried about halfway through a very lengthy review, and thus my readers will be discouraged and not get this far in the review.
Man, I am either really cynical or really pessimistic about my readers.
In other news, I have a small strawberry rhubarb pie. Its pretty awesome.
Although my plan will likely fail. Because I usually start zoning out about halfway through the movie and then stop typing. And did I mention that I have strawberry rhubarb pie?
Also, I am sucking at typing today. Making a shit ton of typos that I'm having to go back and fix. Glad that the red squigglies appear. Although, not so good when I add random bits and bobs to words. And probably not a good thing that I can't remember what the hell random word bits and bobs are called. I keep thinking "clauses" but those are distinctly parts of sentences, and not words.
Also, since I haven't blogged about bodily functions lately, I am terrifically flatulent. As in terrific volume of. Because it is not so terrific in other ways.
In case you were wondering, this is apparently called Space Twister due to the fact that NID has invented some sort of device that proves the existence of some variety of sub-atomic particles. That can only exist on gas giants. Or something like that. And this discovery is seemingly linked to the fact that Jupiter's Big Red Spot has disappeared. Or whatever that big red spot is called.
Also, this gif from Wikipedia is pretty damn mesmerizing:
Which will probably seriously inhibit my reviewing, as I stare at this, rather than continue to watch the movie. Let us see how this turns out.
Also, this movie needs more Erica Cerra.
And shortly after I type that, it appears that she just got herself blowed up. So, let me amend my previous statement: This movie needs more Robo-Erica Cerra.
And now I'm out of pie. So, I guess it looks like I'm back to paying attention. But unfortunately for this review, it looks like the movie's almost over.
Frankly, with the title, I was hoping that aliens were gonna be involved somehow. Because that strikes me as a rather ridiculous and convoluted attack scheme.
And now Col Caldwell as joined Jo in BlowedUpsVille. Along with all the subatomic particles that were the cause of this movie in the first place. But he did survive until the last 5 minutes or so. So, I guess he can be proud of that.

Kentucky Derby (some more)
Seems appropriate that a horse named I'll Have Another won on Cinco de Mayo.
Kentucky Derby
Why don't they mount each jockey with one of those GoPro or Countour cameras and some sort of transmitter system?
If they can mount a helmet cam on a Formula 1 driver, I'm sure they can do it on a jockey.
Get on that, ya rich bastards.
