    4th of July

    I'm sure no one cares, but I figure I'd mention it. Near here is Bristol, Rhode Island, home to one of the oldest, or the first actually I think, 4th of July parades. Needless to say its a pretty big deal. The middle line on the road along the route is painted red, white and blue and all...

    The Men Who Built America - History Channel

    Saw it when it was first aired, and yes it is very good. When I heard about it was a bit worried as it could really be spun as a constant "These men were perfect and awesome and capitalism is the holiest of holies!" or "these guys were all terrible monsters and everything they did was evil."...

    Iconic 70's "vibe" Movies?

    Oh. My. God. Hahaha, that movie is fantastic. If anyone hasn't seen it, do so. The 80's "sequel" Amazon Women On The Moon is great as well.

    Iconic 70's "vibe" Movies?

    Wow, lots more good ideas and stuff to think about than I first imagined. Glad I posted and asked, thanks for all the responses. A really good point was made with the "incidental" view of things, we see in movies made in an era about something else, versus the "idealized" view of things, we...

    Iconic 70's "vibe" Movies?

    What do people think are good movies that give a great feel for the 70's as a "stereotypical era"? Not necessarily movies *from* the 1970's, but about the culture of America in the 1970's. Certainly there is a lot out there, but I'm looking for a list of the better and more interesting...

    Quantum of Solace

    I think Quantum was a decent movie but fell a little short in the end. I recall it needing a few minutes of padding here and there to smooth out the story a bit. Also you really had to have seen Casino Royale and relatively recently to be able to follow some of what was going on and who some...

    The Trayvon Trial

    I think this is the underlying principal of "An Armed Society is a Polite Society".

    Comic Books

    Oh relax, it was a joke. I do admit, when I get someone cools autograph... which I never really do, cause 90% of the people I think are cool are dead, I just expect it to be more impressive, or at least identifiable. That's all. Honestly, a signed Sandman #1 is amazingly awesome. Chaos is...

    Coolest fuckin' band shirt you ever owned

    Isn't that a rip off of an Iron Maiden shirt? Anyways, I recall my prize was an Iron Maiden t-shirt I got at an actual concert, the design of which seems to be lost to time, maybe was specific to the tour? Anyways, had lots of good ones.

    They do that all time. They should just pick one that isn't shit.

    That would be awesome if it wasn't totally fake. You know Neil Gaiman isn't a 23 year old Asian girl, right?

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    I'm on Wolf-something, but can't say much to its quality, and I don't know if anyone else plays here or anything. I just log in and poke around a bit.

    Nik Wallenda walks across the Grand Canyon on a tightrope?

    Well, if he falls, they have to show it or it isn't worth watching. It isn't worth watching at all unless he falls really. They don't have to show him splatter, but they have to show him fall and that moment of terror on his face and him desperately grasping at the line as he falls. That is the...

    Superhero Novels

    Wild Cards, the first dozen or so at least. That is all I read in the genre but really enjoyed them.

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    The F2P aspect is great as far as I can tell. The only real limit is character but most people will never need more than four and only freaks more than eight. There really is a lot to like about Rift but yes, there is something missing from making it a great game.

    Not sure how much British TV people watch, but anyone else think that Edith, the middle sister, looks like David Mitchell (British comedian)?

    Computer Issues

    I fucked up. I decided to upgrade my mostly fine and wonderful computer to be good for the coming years. I got a new video card to make sure it was DX11 ready and all that, which was fine and all, no problem. I bought my computer right before Win7 came out and said fuck, probably should...

    Downton Abbey

    It seems like I've just been watching (and enjoying) a lot of shows set in Edwardian and Interwar Periods of Britain, which seem to be popular fortunately. So been kind of making my way through.

    Downton Abbey

    Just finished the first season last night. Absolutely loved it! What a fantastic show. It is a bit sad to hear, and this isn't the only place I've heard it, that Season 1 is the best and it is kind of downhill from there. I must say the plot and pacing of the first season could have well let...

    Man of Steel

    It seems that this is a Superman for modern times and reflects how horrible and disgusting our culture has become. Basically I'm agreeing with Lyrical and Caliane. Superman was built on virtues that have been kind of left behind by our society and... I don't know where I'm going here...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Ice and Fire, Book 8, Chapter 1, Page 1: "Rocks fall, Dany dies." Page 2 is an excellent illustration of GRRM's ass mooning the reader.

    Sam Deathwalker

    No shit. I'd at least screenshot that for history's sake. Maybe to print it out real nice and mail it to him with a $50 to see if he'd sign it.

    I can't help but thinking either Jon or Dany is a red herring somehow and Martin with kill them and "give their stuff" to someone else at some climatic point.

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    My friend is pushing me to play, I'm reluctantly getting back in as it seems my class has been quite changed so I'm futzing with the builder thing. Anyone know if macros have changed from before? So can I just slap 4 attacks in one key and it cycles through as they refresh?

    Renal failure in pets: experience and advice with a side of amphibious bears

    Polar bears, are in fact designed different from other bears with more swimmy adaptations. No, that is being an "amphibian", a specific style of critter, like "mammal".

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    She cut it specifically to play Brianne. She said she was rather upset about it, as she cut her hair and also when and did a lot of weight lifting for the part to "butch up" more. Which she says she hates, but shows how serious she is about her role.
