I unlocked the Mobiler sticker on @GetGlue! http://bit.ly/iyWUE9

with Wesley – his first time, I predict he’ll love it 🙂 http://bit.ly/iYceqS @GetGlue #TheTick

Of course, Wesley took one look at Arthur on The Tick and exclaimed "A Bunny!".

@KonyaHurricane Eh, ya gotta act quick to get a word in with me and your reflexes were fatigued 😛

The getglue thing isn’t exactly what I had in mind.

RT @TheLDHunter: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid laserdisc box set we opened this weekend. Looks sweet http://t.co/fa0SILY

@TheLDHunter love your box set posts. Btw, I also acquired the bulk of my collection from Half Price Books – about a dozen around Dallas.

On LaserDisc, "Box Set" meant something very special… http://moviegeeks.posterous.com/one-flew-over-the-cuckoos-nest-laserdisc-spec

Btw, if you’re saying "Wtf? LaserDisc?", here’s the elevator pitch http://bit.ly/jn8r2K

@TheLDHunter I think you can relate to this kind of obsession 😛 http://christophercornelius.com/stuff/oldlddfw.html Ah the good old days 🙂

@LaserDiscWiki That info was last updated in 2003 🙂 I was just sharing the evidence of my own collection-building days.

@LaserdiscWiki Where were ya when I needed ya? 😛 So far as I know, nobody ever read the page of all the meticulous work we did back then.

@LaserdiscWiki That page died when I moved away from that area so I’d have no idea. But, HPB is always a good bet as @TheLDHunter can attest

The "Cookies for Pokies Program" isn’t working. He just isn’t that into junk food. You oughta’ see all his leftovers every spn. Weird kid.

Wasn’t crazy about it. Aronofsky is dead to me now 🙁 RT @vudufans: 99 Cent Movie of the Day for 6/15 is "Black Swan" http://fb.me/yAiuCjCo

Get your butterfly on! Be your own bear! Try that do your own thing thing! Put some Coontash on it!

I wish I had a tape of the "Coontash" story. Mr.Coontash fished, never caught anything, always had zeal like he was reeling in the big one.

Hence, the encouragement-in-the-face-of-certain-defeat "Put some Coontash on it!" has been in my arsenal for years… Mostly gets me "Huh?"

But "Be your own bear!" and the "doing your own thing thing" are both from Jungle Jam & Friends. Best children’s radio show evar.

If fact, it’d be a great motivational poster. Guy with an empty fish basket, hollering, jumping, reeling, with "PUT THE COONTASH ON IT!!"

How did I not know my electric screwdriver fits right onto the turncrank peg of my hand grinder? Now, where’s the charger for it?!

@KonyaHurricane It’s a trap!

@TheLDHunter Ahh, haven’t seen The Pirate Movie in years… Bet I still know all the words to sing along 🙂

@TheLDHunter my VHS collection consists only of Spaceship!, Shock Treatment, and a set of Freaks & Geeks bootlegs off ebay before the DVDs

RT @TheLDHunter: RT @bobfreelander: Just got a heads up that the Barnes & Noble Criterion 50% off Sale starts on 7/12! Prepare!

Wesley now has complete saga of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy on PSP. His fave bedtime stories but he’s only had Phase 1&2 until now

MUST HAVE! Love mine but it’s only 650mah and this new one even has the on/off 5-click trick! http://bit.ly/iAXGQP Joye eGo USB PT 1000mah

Just to be clear (since I’ve posted a false alarm or two) my USB PT eGo from Totally Wicked has lasted me since early dec so far. $25! #ecig

Oh, come on, Netflix. Afternoon is Wesley’s educational viewing time (Sesame Street, Word World, etc.) – why do you choose now to fail?

I’m cautiously optimistic RT @SteveVape: Boge officially releases "Revolution V2 Juice Box" electronic cigarette http://bit.ly/m4Mxs0

RT @BenPrzeslak This is the sky over #Alamogordo yesterday. That’s not a mountain in the back, its #smoke. [snip] http://twitpic.com/5bxhbk

That may be the best dinner I’ve ever made, imntbho 😛 Of course, the Aquinas 2007 Pinot Noir only made it better 🙂 (thanks, Michelle!)

2010 movies notes from my phone http://christophercornelius.com/wp/2011/06/13/2010-movies/ Obsessive? Me? (Also 2009. 2011 is w.i.p. 😛 )

It does not mean I un-say a single thing about the effed up politics leading to its making, BUT, Toy Story 3 was VERY worthy – we loved it!

Well, my Pioneer Elite CLD-97 won’t spin a disc and neither will my beloved Yamaha CDV-W901, grrr. Gonna try the Pioneer CLD-D503 (yuck).

The 503 works but colors are typical Pioneer LaserDisc player pastel and no digital audio output. The Yamaha 901 is a superior 503 clone.

Well, the 503 won’t flip the disc. And sometimes won’t open the tray. Great. I am now out of working laserdisc players.

Aaand, I just carelessly fried one of the dual-coil cartomizers we recently got. Not my day.

I am pizzissed about the LD players.

Btw this whole laserdisc player thing was partially to start capturing some of the ultra-rare stuff onto dvd. But also "because it’s there".

So, now I’m in a kitten-stomping kind of mood. You’ve been warned.

I still own 361 LaserDiscs http://www.lddb.com/account/?user=insidious_plots but probably only 20 very rare or otherwise treasured by me.

Incl. Pi, every US WS Star Wars release, Criterion Boogie Nights signed by dir., and LE box sets like E.T., Dances with Wolves. #laserdisc

Kewl, I have 24 of LDDB’s list of 100 most wanted laserdiscs http://www.lddb.com/top100.php?id=4 Sadly, I do not own #1 – The Matrix.

The LD of The Matrix is unique in that it has the theatrical tinting – other formats got a heightened green in scenes within The Matrix.

They asked Terra to go in at 4(am), she did. Now they ask her to stay until 4 (she’s usually 6a-2p), she is. Being a nurse can suck.

Didn’t know that. RT @LaserdiscWiki: @ABQChristopher The Region 4 Australian DVD also features the original theatrical tinting of the Matrix

@LaserdiscWiki Do you happen to know what blu-ray got? So far as I noticed, it’s as "greened" as my old dvd.

Wow, very comprehensive. RT @LaserdiscWiki: @ABQChristopher Here’s a good comparison of two DVD versions and the BR. http://bit.ly/kpJg5b

Wishes @vaporcast would hurry up. Last new ep was 5/17. My afternoon housework isn’t the same without them.

Took me a minute to figure out the weird sound from behind the couch was Moogle. Never heard such a catsnore – and I’ve owned many kitties.

@KonyaHurricane Heh, was just pondering asking if you wanted a quick iced afternoon pickmeup – a sign? 😛

@KonyaHurricane You know that’s what I love to hear 🙂

There’s a chance I over-caffeinated @KonyaHurricane. I was an irresponsible bartender, now I’m an irresponsible barista.

@KonyaHurricane You make it sound like an isolated incident 😛 Uh, yeah, I’ve acci-tweeted many times. Just earlier today was most recent!

Home, dinner, Terra is gonna teach me all about making burgers on dad’s old grill. My first time – I do my cooking indoors.

Oh, and I am, in return, gonna introduce her to Samuel Adams Oatmeal Stout. I haven’t had it in years. Hopefully, it’s as good as Young’s.

Uh, oops, obviously I meant Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout in that previous tweet.

Ahh, Sara Bareilles – a favorite of mine lately – we’re playing a couple of her albums while we make dinner. Outside. #curmudgeon

@KonyaHurricane Meh, come to find out I love her radio stuff and the rest just isn’t the same. Not giving up. Maybe just not BBQing music 😛

Btw, found a Bialetti Brikka in a shop in Cloudcroft but it was 1-cup for $17 so I left it behind. I need at least a 2. But it was tempting.

Oh, and a woman running an antique shop was very impressed at how well-behaved Wesley was and gave him a candy stick 🙂

Hm. Does Sony remove games from PSN? ‘View all by title’, there’s a vid under Gauntlet 2. I find reviews of it online. But, it isn’t there.

Scouring the Web to find a replacement steam valve for my Gaggia so we can get back to great espresso for the summer. Not easy to find.

RT @vudufans: 99 Cent Movie of the Day for 6/12 is "Spaceballs" http://fb.me/11Hq5WuvO

Terra has become intrigued by the siphon pot lately and is becoming quite the VacMistress 😛 Hers is consistently better than mine. (?!!)

I finally, uhm, un-re-organized – yeah, that’s it – the bar back to the way it was and even a little better.

Playing Gauntlet Dark Legacy with Wesley on Terra’s PS2 in her room while she owns the living room with Free Realms on the PS3. Lazy day 🙂

Anyone else having internet issues? #alamogordo #baja #broadband #bajabroadband #grrrr

Aaand we’re back. Odd that. RT @Anyone else having internet issues? #alamogordo #baja #broadband #bajabroadband #grrrr

Seems appropriate to start a summer of slumber party nights with 1986’s One Crazy Summer. (Shoulda’ had "CHILI DAWG!"s for dinner.)

And now that it’s dark, lighting the candles and starting up 1970’s Phantasm on Netflix Instant Watch. She’s somehow never seen it! O.O

In Cloudcroft for some disc golf!! 🙂 And it’s been about two years since I’ve Twittered that.

RT @NurseTerra: Daddy Christopher trying to teach Wesley how to throw a disc 🙂 http://flic.kr/p/9SqDPp #discgolf #cloudcroft

Seems they moved hole 8. It’s not bad, though. Btw, I’m 6 over after 7 – not bad for so long out of practice.

Ching! I finished 9 over. Definitely want better but really satisfied with that score as a return from a long absense. #discgolf #cloudcroft

Btw, I don’t remember what my usual score was on this course but it was never great. Probably rarely par, let alone under.

Now strolling through some shops in Cloudcroft. (Btw, that means we’ll probably be visible on CloudcroftWebcam.com at some point.)

Another great pair of Doc Martens found at a thrift store. Excellent condition, four bucks 🙂 My 9th (?) pair, all from thrift stores.

Ok, House of Treasures in Cloudcroft is the coolest antique/thrift store yet. Getting some great glasses.

Just had an awesome chat with Charles at Higher Grounds in Cloudcroft – instant best friends because of coffee geekery.

Btw, after a little coersion, he even sold us some of his Intelligensia Black Cat Classic beans 🙂

RT @feedfliks: Akira Kurosawa fans: lots of titles expiring on the 21st (Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Rashomon, Ikiru etc) http://fb.me/12XoTlTSQ

Yessss!! Rt @vudufans: 99 Cent Movie of the Day for 6/10 is " Raising Arizona" http://fb.me/12XZ9LBKy

Making coffee, listening to Art Bell – got lucky and caught a "ghost voices"/EVP show – those are always very cool 🙂 SPN begins…

Can’t wait 🙂 RT @feedfliks: The Social Network starts on Netflix Streaming on 20th June. This is one *great* movie. http://fb.me/vcVRvaPs

Today, I revisit my experimental oaty, veggie, meatloaf. It came out great last time. I should really take notes or something.

Gotta’ say the CS at http://wmtorrent.com – Sebastian in this case – is very impressive. And theirs is truly the best WM torrent client 🙂

There needs to be an emoticon for rolling one’s eyes. I could really use one right about now.

We are vowing to disc golf in Cloudcroft on Saturday. And teach Wesley how to play 🙂

Wesley, see this jar of cookies? From now on, you get a cookie for every goathead you find in the carpet before my bare foot does.

I’ve experienced audio distortions because of too much caffeine. Now there’s a study on it. http://bit.ly/mK4mmC (via Sarah 1.0 on Facebook)
