Was very impressed by Monsters (2010). Typical first film weaknesses but Gareth Edwards just made my Directors To Keep An Eye On list.

The story of the film is the shape of cinema whose time has come http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsters_(2010_film) see also Once and Primer

RT @vudufans: 99 Cent Movie of the Day for 7/19 is "Pet Sematary" http://fb.me/QSkpHUhG

how did we not know Amelie is out on blu-ray??!!!

SQUEEEE!!! YouTube user Shawnofthe80s has added four MonsterVision shows – Friday the 13th VI, Ghoulies 1&2, and Howling III 🙂 🙂 🙂

heh, they_re arguing fussily on nasatv. commentator is trying to talk over it 😛 it_s on the psp in the sitting room. leaving ISS today 🙁

I see FB is doing weird things to apostrophes sent from this new phone. so that’s wasn’t didn’t, etc. – maybe there’s a charset setting.

Terra’s interface has homescreen widgets to Twitter and FB from there. I prefer the older PPC interface so I’d need a today screen plugin.

Giving Wesley a game day since SPNs are scarce this month and someone I’ve seen him play with a few times just invited him to their game 🙂

Kirk? Mal? Adama? Pshaw. Steve Zissou is *my* captain!

Time to make the donuts. Breakfast burritos, anyway. On Saturday. She has to work on a Saturday. And Sunday. They’ll be burning babies next.

Ok, MiCarrito is the most bad-assest grocery shopping phone app I’ve used yet. #sigh #thisismylife

amen, brother! RT @vasquesso: Dear swamp cooler I hope to replace u with someone that works and then pound you with a baseball bat #fb

my new LG Fathom has a weird issue – the sd card unmounts when writing large amounts of data to it – like when recording video. grrr…

@thorobredz neither of us are iphone fans. besides there were budgetary issues and wanting to be compatible with each other – went old WM

not my day. PS3 database corrupted, had to rebuild – lost all album info, 9977 pics and 812 vids all in "unknown" folders. grrrrr.

yes, I do a PS3 backup once a month or so but a lot has happened in a month so it won’t be quick and simple.

uh, of course, the bad data that caused the corruption may be in the backup… #ps3

RT @streamingsoon: Netflix app added to Nintendo 3DS, will eventually allow viewing select films in 3D without glasses. http://t.co/49PIQWk

sitting in Terra’s Dr waiting room, playing with my new phone – not happy with it yet – Terra says I’m always this way with a new phone

Still want an accurate model of the International Space Station from a company that continually releases new modules as they’re added.

I don’t care about detail as much as being able to show Wesley "here’s where they sleep", etc so he sees from outside what he sees on nasatv

Wesley already has a projector thing so there’s stars all over his room – how cool it would be to have a mini ISS hanging from his ceiling

My replacement Lea is on the way. Worst e-cig site experience I’ve had. They have a great rep so I won’t name them – maybe it’s a bad month.

Cleaning the kitchen, blasting Mr. B – The Gentleman Rhymer. Ya’ know, the Chap Hop guy 😛 http://youtube.com/watch?v=6t28COxEp2k

Wesley sings and does dance moves with this http://youtube.com/watch?v=K3iLYxt8HtQ Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer – Piece of My Mind #chaphop

Whoa. Mr. B’s new album has a cover (treatment?) of KISS’s Crazy Crazy Nights on it. Listed as Crazy Knights and chap hop changes. Weird.

If you smell a smoker 50 feet away and say "Did I always smell like that?" #youmightbeavaper

If you prefer narrower shirt pockets because your e-cig stands up in it better #youmightbeavaper

If you’ve "repurposed" every make-up case, etc. your wife owns, saying "But, it’ll be a perfect e-cig case!" #youmightbeavaper

If you absent-mindedly try to puff on a pen in your hand and it happens all the time #youmightbeavaper #ecigs

If you know nothing else about electricity but DO recently understand the relationship between volts, ohms, and watts #youmightbeavaper

If you regularly use hemostats and syringes but haven’t done drugs in years 😛 #youmightbeavaper (yeah, I know, or a doctor)

Must. Have. Handheld MMO! RT @PSLifeStyle: blog post: Robust Vita Specs Offer MMO Potential, Final Fantasy XI Emanates http://bit.ly/p3khz5

Must. Have. Coffee.

Sigh… Gloomy weather saps my energy and quenches my spirits. But, if it’s going to rain, I wish it would just go ahead and do it.

Doing housework and glancing in on the last spacewalk of the shuttle era, which Wesley is watching with all his toys in the livig room.

All Wesley wants is to see the shuttle launch again. Everytime someone counts up or down anything, he exlaims "YES!! SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH!!"

Long-awaited new episodes of VaporCast and Portafilter Podcast will pull me through my day 🙂

RT @GrammarGirl: RT @word_czar Unlike Shakespeare, I write in pedantic iambetter.

Wondering why @vudufans hasn’t posted a 99cent movie in a week or so. #vudu

.@KonyaHurricane I rarely miss discs – for every disc-only I want to see, there’s five on IW at any given time that I want to see as badly.

.@KonyaHurricane The only exception is a "gotta see it on bluray" and a 1-disc-at-a-time can satisfy that.

I’ll even go ahead and say that because the selection on Netflix InstantWatch is so excellent, I haven’t torrented a movie in maybe a year.

Well, there it is 🙁 RT @PSLifeStyle: New blog post: Pay Up: Netflix Streaming No Longer Free With DVD-Mail Package http://bit.ly/o2nQFT

"The dead want to be dead." -Kai

Walmart. Joy.

Terra and I just merged our cell phone accounts, synced our contract expiry times, and even upgraded to matching phones. Aren’t we cute? ;P

@KonyaHurricane Just LG WM6.5 phones (but better than our current) – staying OS loyal for now, but we’ll have same upgrade date. Verizon.

"It’s a ballet of elephants" says this guest commentator on nasatv of docking the shuttle to the space station. What a perfect description.

The biggest difference with nasatv over the years is how much more produced stuff they play now – like they want to make it not so "boring".

The dead do not fear needles.

The dead are messed up.
