This is an Android Tablet

This is also what killed this blog.

Ever since I got the tablet,  I don't use my computer all that often. And I type a lot slower on the tablet.

Which makes typing movie reviews on the tablet kind annoying.

So, I'm watching Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark. But are you find head about it?

Nope.

And the fact that I'm probably gonna watch Sharknado 2 shortly.

Sucks to be y'all, I guess.

(And I figure it is apt that the drawing accompanying this post is appropriately crappy)

High Moon

Colonists on the moon race to uncover the secrets of a new life-form.  Starring: Chris Diamantopoulos, Jake Sandvig, Peter Macon, Dana Davis, Jonathan Tucker.  Rated NR. Genre: Movies/Action. Year: 2014

And then a giant mechanical T rex appears. On the moon...  apparently made by the Japanese. For some reason.

Seemed to be a regular moon based sci-fi movie up until this point. Beginning was very reminiscent of 2001.

Surprisingly decent for a Syfy original movie.

And then it just ended... uh...

Haversack.

What is a haversack?

Today on How It's Made

Lunar rover replicas.

Apparently there's enough of a market for such things that they made an episode segment on it.

Don't know whether to be impressed or disturbed

Meatless Mondays

Apparently I should join the millions.  According to that billboard I saw.

What said billboard failed to explain was why I would want to do such a thing.

If there was a neighboring billboard that said "get kicked in the jimmies and a puppy will be saved from cancer" I feel like I know which I'd be tempted more by.

At least one has the decency to explain the motivation

On Depictions of Families on Bumper Stickers

In the past 2 days I have seen two of those family bumper sticker things with Star Wars themes. Never seen those before.

Yesterday's had the adult male figure as Han Solo, and the female figure was A New Hope vintage Leia (white dress and stereotypical Princess Leia hair buns). The children were miniature stormtroopers. A miniature AT-AT presumably represented a dog or other household pet.

Today's went with a different theme. I only saw this one for a very short time, so I was only able to identify four of the five figures. No dog this time. Children represented by ewoks. I was unable to identify the medium sized figure in the time allotted. Presumably a teenager or something. Adult female was Jabba's palace vintage Leia. Adult male was A New Hope vintage Luke.

I can understand both children types. The obvious "a little short for a stormtrooper" gag on one hand, and the representation of children as small fuzzy critters on the other. The AT-AT dog was pretty humorous too

WAIT A MINUTE! Who in their right mind would equate themselves (presumably a husband and wife pair) with Princess Leia at her most scantily clad (yeah, that's what I meant by Jabba's palace) and her brother.

I guess both representations are from when the character does not know of the family relationship. Not sure if that makes it better or worse.

Pretty sure it is worse.

(I was considering tacking "And Unwitting Incest" onto the end of the title, but decided I didn't want to give away the twist ending)

No matter which language you speak, a smile always translates the same way

Unless you show your teeth. In which case a gorilla will eat your face.

(Seen on a church sign. Well, the first part at least)

Blue Planet

Watching this off the DVR.

Being the guy who does the sound effects for this show sounds like it would be a lot of fun. Seems like it could be exciting to be the guy who gets to decide what a copepod or krill sounds like must have an exciting life

Are they currently covered in sweat?

He's now talking with someone else about borrowing something.  Not sure what, but copious sweat is apparently involved

Same dude. Still absurdly loud

I Took All The Porkchops to Work Today

Overheard someone on the phone holding a relatively loud conversation. Now he's trying to schedule an MRI for his right shoulder.

I sure do love working in cubes.

Amgen Tour of California

I think this bike race would be better if it was the InGen Tour of California.

At the very least, there'd be more velociraptors involved.

Amgen Tour of California

So, there's a yellow jersey for the lowest overall time, a green jersey for winning the sprints, and a polka dot jersey for winning the mountains.

Wonder what jersey they'd get for winning the Feed Zone. That's the jersey I'd really want to win.

This is a Thing of Yogurt

Yes. Thing is the appropriate term for a container that contains yogurt. Contain... don't think I've used that word enough in that last sentence. Contain.
