Today's Word(s) of the Day
America's Cup.
Holycrap.
A week ago Oracle Team USA was behind 8 points to 1 to Emirates Team New Zealand in the America's Cup.
9 points were necessary to win the Cup.
So, the Kiwis were sitting on match point for over a week.
After an 8 race win streak, the Americans won race 19 today (Oracle Team USA had been penalized 2 points, so they basically started with -2 points).
At the beginning of the regatta, it looked like the Kiwis were just gonna run away with it, and then the Americans found some speed and managed an incredible comeback.
Was a really fun few weeks to learn a bunch about sailboat racing, and become amazed at hydrofoil sailing...

Ragin' Cajun Redneck Gators
'13. Toxic moonshine turns alligators into gigantic,mutated monsters that go on a deadly rampage. Starring: Jordan Hinson, Victor Webster, Christopher Berry.
Syfy Original Movie from 9/6.
Is that? Is it really? Yup. It is. Sheriff Carter's daughter's all growed up. Brown hair suits her.
This movie looks to be verging on the stereotypical... Moonshine (sorry... "shine"); large family rivalries, a random character who seems to be surgically joined to his banjo...
Looks to be a real Romeo and Juliet type story. If Shakespeared had ever dreamed of poorly CGed giant alligators and blue tinted moonshine.
Zoe: "I'm going back to the city. Where I can be independent."
Paw: "Fine."
Zoe: "Where I can be a vegan."
Paw: "Fine."
Zoe: "Where I can be... a liberal."
Paw: "OVER MY DEAD BODY!"
Also, the family is confronted by a giant gator. Random Dude Whose Relationship to Zoe and Paw I Haven't Been Able to Figure Out, Mainly Because I Don't Care (RDWRtZaPIHBAtFOMBIDC for short, or RDWRtZaPIHBAtFO,MBIDC if commas are meant to be included in acronyms) says that he has a "plan of distraction". At which point he seizes Paw's Wife's (who seems to be someone other than Zoe's mother due to the antagonistic relationship and Zoe referring to her by first name, which I of course didn't pay attention to enough to remember) dog and proceeds to throw it into the the gator's mouth. At which point they run.
And now, if it is even possible, this movie has become even more ridiculous. People who got bit by the the mutated gators earlier are turning into gator/human hybrids...
And, for the record, the "Redneck Gators" are "Redneck" due to red pigmentation in the neckular region, not because they happen to be formed by moonshine-induced mutations of Southern Country Folk. That's just a happy coincidence.

Fast Five
'11. Brian O'Conner and Dom Torretto join forces to confront a corrupt businessman who wants them dead. Starring: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Matt Schulze. Director: Justin Lin.
I realize this comment is in reference to a previous movie, but I am highly amused by the fact that if you search "4 Fast 4 Furious" on Wikipedia, it will auto redirect you to the 4th Fast and Furious movie. Whatever its called... But probably not 4 Fast 4 Furious.

X-Men: First Class
'11. Mutants Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr begin as friends, but a situation tears them apart. Starring: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence, January Jones, Nicholas Hoult. Director: Matthew Vaughn.
My favorite piece of trivia from IMDB:
This is the second time that January Jones has been cast in 1962 opposite an actor with a pork based name. The first was in Mad Men opposite Jon Hamm and then this alongside Kevin Bacon.

Today's Word(s) of the Day
Greg Le Mond.
Apparently Greg Le Mond voiced his character on Phineas and Ferb. I'm amused that they'd actually get him to do that role (and that he'd agree)

Watching some Phineas and Ferb on the first day of school... I think my timing might be off
