Wow. I’m third… Why am I up this late?

Ow.

I always wondered how -anyone- did the underpants thing. Now I know it is ‘cuz they all suck, um, I mean, are right-handed.
Also, I feel six saying underpants. Underpants underpants underpants. Yup, still six.
September 24th, 2009 at 2:36 am
The last four hours have been something else. I guess I have to pay for the good luck I’ve enjoyed earlier this week. I need a nap now.
September 24th, 2009 at 2:37 am
Well, I’m glad to see that’s finally been taken care of. Another one for society to check off the list. My congratulations to all the Deadpan Lefties.

Hmmm… Finding any bathroom tiles that are cool (please insert “coolest” between found and bathroom) makes them the coolest.

I’m not sure what is worse. Using the wrong word or not following the advice in the mental note for a second time in 10 minutes. Wow I’m a Moron.

This may be my last post today. I wish I had thought of something cool to say, so I’ll go with, “Where’s the bunny?”
September 24th, 2009 at 6:56 am
Lejon: Don’t feel bad about not having something cool to say. I had 4 posts already and I just sound stupid.

Leaving now. Have to go out and do a few errands. Should be back after lunch.
September 24th, 2009 at 8:50 am
Would it be fair to say that TEB has been in heat ?

Jack: An enjoyable Jersey-related tale. Otherwise unheard of.
And after listening to this episode, I have determined that Jack is part of a geek club. He called it a “keyboard clique”.
September 24th, 2009 at 9:14 am
On the subject of underwear, I’m consistently shocked that men ever use those stupid little flies.

This conversation is making me think of the Elaine quote from Seinfeld:

Every once in a while I’m reminded of the . . . delicateness . . . of part of my anatomy. Often when I’m winding up long extension cords. There’s life living on the edge of volcano thermal vents and we can’t be just a LITTLE more protected?
September 24th, 2009 at 11:04 am
I was pondering the OTHER advantage of the “left-handed” fly.
Wouldn’t it make the task of extraction, easier for the right-handed person who was facing you?
September 24th, 2009 at 11:05 am
NOW you’re talkin’!
September 24th, 2009 at 11:19 am
Good point, J0e. Now if only they’d make bras with hooks for left-handed men. . . .
September 24th, 2009 at 11:30 am
???
Who knew left-handed men wore bras ?
September 24th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Back. Picked up TOS Start Trek season two on Blu-Ray while I was out. Hubby will be happy
September 24th, 2009 at 11:45 am
Our weekend will be spent cleaning out the bedroom. We got new furniture and it will be delivered on Monday. Now to tell hubby I bought a new bedroom suite without his input. (not as bad as you think, he knew it would happen this week)
September 24th, 2009 at 11:46 am
Left handed men wear bras? I’ll have to tell my hubby he better start shopping for one ;)
September 24th, 2009 at 11:49 am
Oh and LJ. You can let the missus know I’m about 1/3 of the way through the first book and I’m really enjoying it.
September 24th, 2009 at 11:50 am
See if he’ll spring for the matching panties.
September 24th, 2009 at 11:50 am
They’re manziers.
September 24th, 2009 at 11:50 am
… er, that reads differently than I meant …
but maybe it works either way.
September 24th, 2009 at 11:51 am
J0e, I’ll spring for the matching panties if I thought he’d actually wear them
September 24th, 2009 at 11:54 am
So looking at the episode title, is Jack going to pull out a dentist drill and start asking ‘is it safe?’ in a dodgy English accent?
September 24th, 2009 at 11:56 am
He could get you do to it, Van. Then the accent wouldn’t be dodgy ;)
September 24th, 2009 at 11:56 am
Right, right. Only a flesh wound.
September 24th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Have now moved to the couch and the little machine. Kitty is very happy I have streatched out legs and a blanket. Nothing but purrrs here.
September 24th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Good to see the Bunny up and at em.
I have had quite a day and it’s not even 2pm yet. It’s amazing how many people I have had actual conversations with today.
Is it possible to have too much interaction in one short period of time?
I’m officially going out of town this weekend. Have laptop, will travel. So, I’ll be around, but can’t say if I’ll be posting much while I’m in the cooler climate. Dan almost had to work and we were going to cancel our trip, but someone stepped up to cover for him so, I’m going to start packing!

After all of these years, I still have no idea what that movie is about. I suppose I should see it but that one scene (which is almost impossible to have NOT seen over the years) has put me off seeing the rest of the film.

So JN, is it your actual birthday on Sunday or did you put a false date in your FB profile?
September 25th, 2009 at 2:55 am
Today is the day – Sigler comes to Houston. This time, I’m not missing out.

Jack – I’m more from the Seussian school. “There’s a Wocket in my Pocket”might be my favorite … after “Goodnight Moon” of course.
September 25th, 2009 at 3:50 am
Vanamonde: It is indeed my actual birthday. Even though it’s a major piece of personally identifying information, I left that accurate in some places.
Thanks for taking note.

From the Department of Unfortunate Statements -
Research in Motion (makers of the Blackberry) are commonly referred to as RIM. Yesterday afternoon they released their quarterly earnings.
A CNBC host was talking about the market implications of their report and what it would say about the Technology sector.
His quickly spewed out comment as his segment ended was “We will know more after we get Rimmed”
hehehe

I know, TEB!
My plan for today includes some landscaping, but with my bum shoulder, Sly B will be doing all the heavy lifting. We’ll also be watching more TV, because we’ve only watched about 5,000 hours of it this week, and making some macaroni and cheese.
September 25th, 2009 at 6:21 am
Oh, Mac and Cheese sounds good. Maybe for lunch….
I’m actually now out. probably for the day. Likely for the weekend. A girlfriend of mine is taking me out for the day tomorrow. We’re going to do lunch, see the movie 9 and then see what the evening brings :)

Watched the S2 opener of Dollhouse after getting home. I thought it was a pretty strong start, especially given the flash forward that is Epitaph One.
And, speaking of Flash Foward – watched that on the TIVO today. They’ve come out swinging hard with that one. Hopefully it will payoff.
Though, the preview for V was most intriguing. I don’t remember the Slice gang ever mentioning that Inara is the face of the reimagined Visitors.

And I read about 4 chapters IN.A.ROW in the book I’m currently reading.
So Good! I share the joy with all of you – and I will post pictures in a day or so :)

Carl Sagan’s efforts to legitimize science in our culture simply cannot be understated. I think our friend Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson has done more than anyone else to continue his work.
And this is unrelated, but fun:

Don’t literally hit the tracks, Van. Let us know if we should see Surrogates.
September 27th, 2009 at 6:04 am
Well back, and Surrogates is worth checking out. I haven’t read the comic so don’t know how faithful is to the source material. The plot is interesting if a little well worn (a useful technology being turned on it’s users).
September 27th, 2009 at 6:13 am
Good morning, DP!
Van, sounds good. I plan to check it out, but maybe not until DVD. I rarely go to the theater.
September 27th, 2009 at 6:42 am
Jack: That video made me want to go watch all the episodes of TOS again. I love TNG just as much, but the TOS has so many colorful characters and a bit more of the silliness which that video clearly highlights!

Also, we listened to Evo@11 on the trip up after the kids fell asleep in the car. The bearded lady joke was funny.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
So I saw “The Informant!”.
It was not the “slapstick, laugh riot” that the previews would lead you to believe.
It was actually quite funny but it was more like … well sort of like a documentary (it is based on a real characture and events) but full of “The Daily Show” type. ironic humour … and a lot of that “How stupid can people be” type humour.
I thought it was well done and had some really good performances.
I recommend it Рbut maybe as a matin̩e or video rental.

Saw 9 on the weekend. It was…It was. I’d say wait until it comes out until video. Hubby and I wanted to see Surrogates but life got in the way. I was rather indifferent to the graphic novel.
Working this morning and getting the bedroom ready for the new furniture.

I couldn’t agree more re: Dr. Tyson. I’m a big fan of his work and his sense of humor.
I think that’s about it for now.

Dr. Tyson has a podcast called Star Talk that I’ve been listening to.

Fan of Dr. Tyson as well.
Was a big fan of “Cosmos” as well. It had the added plus of being a show my Dad really liked so watching it became one of those father/son “bonding” things.

Happy Story to Share.
Really it’s not that exciting, but I went to the grocery store to get milk as ours expired over the weekend. Picked up a few extra things – fruit was on sale which is always a win.
So we are in line to checkout and it’s taking longer than I’d like so I go to the self-checkout and start ringing up. The cashier in charge of the self-checkout hands me this beautiful in bloom long-stemmed pink rose. (actually she gave it to my son and said, “Here give this to Mommy.” Then the bagging dude gave my son a balloon.
It was like we’d won a prize or something just for being regular customers. We shop there all the time so we are recognized, but it was just a couple little things today that were sweet.
It’s often the little things that can make or break your day. :)

Hmm we have slushies that we get at the QT – they come in different flavors. Sometimes 7-11 has them with sugar free flavors so I can have one too. I like the sugar free Pepsi slushie. Slushies are the closest I want to get to anything snow-like.

Is anyone else excited to go see Toy Story in 3D? Am I alone in my love of these 2 Pixar films? (Toy Story 1 and 2) and I’m scared for #3 when it comes out. I want it to be great.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
While I enjoyed the Toy Story movies when they came out, I have no pounding desire to see them again. Maybe when they hit DVD.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
I love PIXAR films.
3D ? Not so much.
I don’t care how “good” it is … the novelty of “3D” lasts about 5 minutes with me and then it’s just an annoying distraction to whatever story they are trying to tell me.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
I agree kinda on the whole 3D thing, but I admit it I did see Captain EO more than once and it was pretty cool.
It also wasn’t 90 minutes long.
I think I’m mostly just excited to see the movies in the theater with the kids. They are 2 of our favorite movies to watch as a family because we ALL really enjoy them. I think seeing them on the big screen is going to be super fun!

September 28th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
TEB: Congratulations, you’re a… Wait… What do you get called when bouncing baby furniture arrives?
Cj: For me, the term “3-D” has always signaled a “Look Out, Cap’n! She’s Gonna Blow!” sort of warning (i.e. “please don’t watch our bad movie, for it will suck much”) – Sort of in the vein of Jaws 3-D or Spy Kids 3-D, etc. – However, Pixar went through much effort to develop the scripts for Toy Story and Toy Story II – the only thing that could screw up a 3-D version of them is the addition of pointless “oo-ahh” moments. If the 3-D is used to enhance the original story, that’ll probably work.
In Fact, I recently listened to a [url: http://www.chuckchat.com/technorama/?p=1313 Technorama [/url] where they interview a guy from a In-Three (a company converts 2-D films to 3-D where the final product looks as if the original stock had been filmed in 3-D in the first place.) They were probably tapped for the Toy Stories films.

I’m still waiting for more films in 8-D.
September 28th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
JØ: Oh, yeah, they’re annoying as hell if the whole point of the movie is to sell 3-D… I have heard that Up, on the other hand, used it as an enhancement, rather than for cheesy effect, and did a good job of not being annoying. Of course, I haven’t seen up yet. Fear of heights and all…

I enjoyed the movie Up. It was a bit of a tear-jerker. I did not, however, see it in 3D.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Cj: Yeah, I stuck the dismount on that one… It’s a shame so many mandatory deductions to my intelligence got made in the process.

I suppose 8-D would be a bit much to handle.

September 28th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
8D? Definitely risking a sprained tongue with that one.
I am intrigued at the notion of seeing the Toy Story movies in the theater again. Though, I’ll be curious to see how the double feature works. I’m sure my kids (or myself) could sit still for three hours….
September 28th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
As for deportation – my company has an office in India and I’m heading there for a week for coordination and training. It’s about 20 hours in the air each way. My contact will probably be pretty sporadic starting Friday.
September 28th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Well over on this side of the pond Up is coming out next week and I will probably see it in 3D.
Saw Creation today, as a costume drama it’s not bad, but it’s not half as controversial as the hype is making out.
Unless you think Darwin was part of Satan’s master plan..then you may find it getting you riled up.

Did anyone watch The Cleveland Show (Seth MacFarlane’s newest animated series)? I wasn’t that impressed, but I’m having a hard time deciding if it’s just because they had to do so much character intro that they couldn’t fit in many jokes (like the start of American Dad) or if every new series he does will suck just a little bit more than Family Guy (like American Dad). I suppose that only time will tell.
September 28th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
Clarification: sucking more than Family Guy means that the quality goes down a little bit. Neither Family Guy nor American Dad sucks.

It is a Maxtor 500GB “One Touch III” drive with 2 Firewire ports and external power.
That’s about all I have to go on. Oh … the current case is about 1.5 x 5 x 8.25 inches.

Honestly, joe, unless you really need to recover what is on that drive, you’re probably better off just getting a new external drive. I’ve seen Terrabyte drives going for less than $100 now.
September 29th, 2009 at 8:31 am
If you really do want to reuse the drive, you’re going to need to pull it out of the case so we can determine what kind of interface it has (ie. SCSI “scuzzy”, IDE, SATA) – that will determine what kind of new enclosure you would need to get for it.

Thanks Ed.
This is actually my “back-up” drive … except that after I had backed up 2 computers to it … I still had 200gb of free space just laying there whispering “Take me. Take me NOW!”
Being the data ho that I am … I quickly organized ALL my music and podcast files onto that drive and was using it to feed iTunes.
All that stuff is around here … somewhere, but it would be worth $60 to me to just move the drive to a new housing.
BTW – I WILL NOT be going bigger then 500gb until they come up with a drive that never fails. That would just be too decimating!

Or as Roger Waters said:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by.
With bright knives He releaseth my soul.
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places.
He converteth me to lamb cutlets,
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger.
When cometh the day we lowly ones,
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate,
Lo, we shall rise up,
And then we’ll make the bugger’s eyes water.

Maybe they will start giving away old 100gb drives and I can just utilize a shelf full of them.
Jack – Just one back-up ??? In my research for this problem I actually ran across post where people were being chastised for not having made back-ups OF THEIR BACK_UPS !
So now you are expected to own three, 1 Terrabyte drives for every Terrabyte of data you wish to hang on to.

Crap. One of my fave scary flicks growing up was “It”. Actually, I thought it was “It”. Apparently I have no idea what I’m talking about. It’s a black-and-white film. As I recall, scientists find a UFO under the ice in the (ant?)arctic. The action takes place in the shelter that they’ve erected there. There’s a great scene where a guy is going to do an autopsy and surprisingly the body on the table has been infected by the alien whatever, has grown a mouth in the corpse’s torso and bites the dude’s arms off.
Any guesses as to the title?

Yes, I think “The Thing From Another World” is what JN is talking about. Many people know it from the Crappy John Carpenter remake in the 1980s “The Thing” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084787/

A double dose of Good Luck for ya, Van. I think EssBee and Jack said it best already.

I know the Carpenter remake wasn’t a “great” film … but I’ve always kind of liked it.
Maybe I just have a crush on Goldie Hawn.

The Carpenter film was more faithful to the original story than 50’s film in that the monster was a shape shifter.

I watched the b&w just last week. Honestly, I enjoyed both versions, but I have a weakness for Carpenter cheese.
And Johnny, I’m pretty sure you’re confusing the 2 versions. The chomping scene wasn’t the black-and-white. Probably the color, but I dunno; it’s been a few years since I’ve seen it.

Food for thought -
“Transportation officials said in a research report that 5,870 people were killed and 515,000 were injured last year in crashes where at least one form of driver distraction was reported. Driver distraction was involved in 16 percent of all fatal crashes in 2008.”
September 30th, 2009 at 3:49 am
I would point out that after just 80, “air bag” deaths (over a period of a few years) in the U.S. resulting from children (or small adults) being in the front passenger seat of cars when the airbags deployed … Congress lept into acion and forced the auto industry to change car designs so that the driver could shut off the airbags.
Apparently the Cell Phone/Hand Held industry has a MUCH better group of lobbiest.

I usually really dislike listening or reading a series if it’s not completed. My memory is lackluster enough that the period of time between installments really interferes with my enjoyment. That being said, I’ve been listening to The Stolen Moon of Londor on Podiobooks. I’m quite enjoying it. The first six files are up.

I never start a book listening to a book till it is finished. I got burned on that once with a book the was pulled because it was not updated for a year. And again when I started a book with 3 parts left. That book did get finished but it took nearly 6 months to get out 3 episodes. I even made sure to look at the past releases to see if they where consistently released… live, listen, and learn

I find I need that tactile bookness. I’ve listened to several books both through Podiobooks and Audible and find I don’t often finish them. More often than not, I’ll start a book then pick it up, if it’s available in print form, to finish it. I’ll sometimes read during commercials on TV and it’s also harder to start/stop an audio book then an actual book in that situation as well.
My hubby, on the other hand lives for his audio books. He has an hour(ish) drive each way to/from work so he’ll put it on and listen as he’s driving.

I have a 40 minute drive to work for listening and also I go to the store often which is 10-15 minute drive there, grab the ear buds when i’m in the store than 10-15 minutes home. add washing dishes and i get quite a lot of time. Being dyslexic sitting down with a book isn’t easy; sometimes it is even a chore. I read the Harry Potter series and it took my kids (15 & 17) about an hour to read 2 chapters but for me 2 chapters might take a full week of reading over lunch hours and when my wife was watching something on TV i wasn’t interested in. I don’t think I would have picked up a book again if podiobooks hadn’t made me interested again in reading.

All that being said, I did enjoy Both the Star Trek novel and Coraline in audio form. Sylar and Neil Gaiman are both good readers ;)
If it’s something short, I’ll listen to it, but anything larger than a few hours, I needs my old fashioned hand held ;)
Just shows there’s a market for both.

I seem to have pretty much given up on dead tree media for the foreseeable future. I’ve got a couple of books that I’ve started, but haven’t managed to make the time to finish. I’ll probably end up getting them as audiobooks – I finally got myself a subscription to Audible a few days ago. About 36 hours in the air back and forth to Bangalore, plus layovers is going to give me a lot of time to listen.
I’ve picked up the original Dune and the first Dresden Files as my two starters. Dune I read many years ago. Dresden I’m trying on reputation, particularly EssBee’s endorsement.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:33 am

What I miss?
September 30th, 2009 at 8:35 am
For me … it hasn’t been a mater of choosing one media over the other. It is a mater of life forcing me to go with audio or go without.
There just isn’t time to read books unless I give up the 2 TV shows I watch every week … and even then, I’m not sure that one hour ever twice a week would let me really “get into” a book.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:35 am
Oh yeah. Not exactly going to be a secret because:
1) I don’t care if he knows and
2) I’m horrible with surprises anyway.
I was at Sentry Box yesterday and saw a couple of movies I was talking to Jack about when I was in Arizona. Do I send them for Christmas or hold on to them and give them at the next DP meetup?

I’ll listen to audiobooks when I’m at work, otherwise I too prefer actual text. And I hate reading a book on my desktop. An e-reader I’d try.
September 30th, 2009 at 9:06 am
I prefer the audio versions when I’m in the car or at work. I can read and drive, but I keep hearing about that is supposed to be dangerous and my wife freaks out when I drive with my knees, so… And I get coated in grease and ink at work, so I would have to read really really fast to finish before the print got obliterated.
On the other hand, I have never been as immersed in an audio story as I am with a text based. If my eyes can wander, they do. And then I find myself thinking about something else and then I realize I’m not listening (again) and trying to rewind to the point where I dropped out is way way harder than just flipping the page back.
As for deadtree versus digital, as long as I can get the text formated to about the same width as the average paperback, I’m good. Well, it cannot be CRT tech. That flicker just drives me nuts when I try to read off it. All in all, that pretty much means that I can and have read books on my phone, but I greatly prefer the paper.

I’m going to have to do a MM episode on this one. Why does she want to be friends with someone who doesn’t treat her well? Why does anyone? I suppose adults do this too, but it’s a lot easier to tell another adult “Walk away. That person is treating you like crap and you deserve better.”

My daughter has a friend from her daycare she calls “mean Riley.” LOL
September 30th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
I hate when people are selfish too.
September 30th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
I think I need a warm comfy bubble bath.
I think I’ll have one right now.
Back in an hour!
September 30th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Does the existence of “mean Riley” indicate that she has a goatee? Should we tell her to cross over to the mirror mirror?
September 30th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Sounds like Cj needs a warm bubble bath, too.
September 30th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Yes! A warm bubble bath sounds splendiferous!
September 30th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Maybe that’s why that woman kept looking into a mirror at the end of “Romper Room.”

The bubble stuff was called “Sensual Foam Bath” and that’s exactly how it felt… Sensual

I think ice cream is called for after that.

My kitty is helping me eat my ice cream :)
September 30th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Finished my ice cream. Now laying on the bed, watching the news and sucking down a Grasshopper (it’s a beer, not an insect)

sometimes it’s good being alone
September 30th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Good lord, all of you!
Ed, we do seem to share similar tastes – aside from the whole political thing. Oh, and the gay marriage issue. Otherwise, I truly don’t know how these friends tell you & I apart. Dresden Files books are really fun and I think you’ll enjoy it!

Just spoke to hubby on the phone. He’s in a suite with a kitchen, balcony, fireplace and jacuzzi tub. I couldn’t go, why?
September 30th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
I don’t wanna run.
September 30th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
I want chocolate.
I have chocolate, but I have to share it.
How can I share it when I never see anyone!
Blargh!
September 30th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Where are you running to, Cj?
September 30th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
jJ told everyone to run for their lives.
September 30th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Mmmmmm. Chocolate.
September 30th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Cj: Look at the TEETH!
September 30th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
J0e may have to run from bunnies, but not you ;)

Gah. I’m craving shortbread cookies. Please make it stop.
September 30th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Oops.
After I saw I wasn’t being persued I rechecked the post …
Seems it was “Madly, Bunny!” and NOT “Mad Bunny”.
Still, I’ve seen Monte Python and it’s best not to take chances.
Goodnight mush.

Writer’s block is fail.
I’m looking at a blank screen and then Alt Tab and type something here instead.

Maybe it’s because I’m cold. I’m going to don some slippers and pour myself a hot cup of tea.
Yes. Yes. That will help.

I hope someone besides me can appreciate this. The end is hilarious.
Totally not work or child friendly :)

Morning Pan, trying to wake up.
September 30th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Morning, Van. I’m still up and should be trying to sleep, but my brain is fried.
September 30th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Work (for everyone else) got canceled for a power outage. It is deliciously quiet here tonight.

Just listened to Flash in the Pan.
Thanks for liking the footbal scene Van. I’m surprised no one else liked it. How can you go wrong with Brian Blessed knocking people on the head.
Jack, you didn’t like Shock Treatment? I’m astounded. I love that movie.
