Monday – 24 August 2009
Not too manic, nor rainy… yet. Of course, the day is still young. We’ll see how it goes.

First and foremost: The Ravens take on the Jets tonight on Monday Night Football.

New York Jets at Baltimore Ravens
8:00 PM EDT

Hm… we have been invtited over to SaraRules’ parents’ to watch the game. Win-Win!

Yesterday, SaraRules and I went to see Inglourious Basterds. It was great! We had a good time. It was, without a doubt, a Quentin Tarantino film – just the right mix of story, dialogue, action and over-the-top goodness. It was a World War II film… the way you’d expect Tarantino to tell it.

After the movie – and a little errand-running – we heading up to SaraRules’ parents’ for dinner… and another movie.  This time, we watched Quarantine, which they hadn’t seen before. The movie easily held up for a second (or was it third?) watching. I looked up the movie’s “Trivia,” on IMDb, and noted that it was a remake of a Spanish film called Rec. I might have to check out the original to see how, if at all, they vary in telling the tale.

Stray Toasters

  • I’ve been a LEGO fan for… 30+ years.
    I’ve been playing HeroClix for nearly three or four years.
    At some point, the boundaries were due to blur: Chris and I have been talking about trying out some barriers rules that I found on ToyChop. They seem like they’d add something interesting and fun to the game. I was looking at something LEGO-related last night and realized that I could make fire, ice and even smoke barriers using various LEGO pieces.  It just… kind of… bothers me that it took this long for me to figure it out.
  • Clearance: Granted
  • Did husband’s jealousy lead to model’s murder?
  • Calls to reopen CIA abuse cases
  • Coin-tosses aren’t fair.  (Well… DUH!)
  • All that I can really say about this is “Whiskey… Tango…?!?”
  • NASA May Outsource
  • ‘Avatar’ preview dazzles audiences
    NOTE #1: This is not to be confused with the upcoming The Last Airbender movie.
    NOTE #2: If you haven’t heard about this movie, here’s a little taste.

Namaste.
