Sunday : 25 September 05
Today started with sleeping in. And it was good. I headed to the Halo Command Center, which I may soon rename “New Oa,” and turned on the football games. (More on football in Quote of the Day.)

After a lazy early afternoon, , and I headed out for dinner and a movie, Flightplan. It was a very interesting movie. Despite a couple of large plot holes, but the movie was good. It’s not “scary,” per se, but it does a good job of building suspense and tension.

Back home for a quiet evening in. Except for a quick trip to the grocery store. I needed milk – gotta have the moo juice for my cereal. *nod* It was a successful excursion AND it had an added bonus. Two of them, actually: A fem-mullet and a manly mullet. They were… something. Two birds, one stone.

    A constant buzz of low-level static
    One sniff at the hydrant
    And the answer is automatic

    It seems to me
    As well make our own few circles ’round the block
    We’ve lost our senses
    For the higher-level static of talk

    [21:25] What have you done with the real []…?
    [21:25] *checks for alien implants*
    [21:26] if handled right, it could be to the rambo movies what unforgiven was to the man with no name movies!
    [21:26] The Legend of Zorro.
    [21:26] Just saw a commercial for it.
    [21:26] I think that I want to see that.
    [21:26] who’s zorro? is it banderas again?
    [21:27] Yeah
    [21:28] * Gibraltar wonders if they’re still gonna make a new mad max or a new indy jones. hmm.
    [21:29] There’s talk of an Indy IV

    [21:32] hmmm. they gotta get on that.
    [21:36] Todd won’t happen. mel gibson is too busy nailing himself to things.
    [21:36] * Gibraltar cracks up.
    [21:36] he could play max as a born-again.
    [21:38] Todd its more likely any remake would star ice-t and suck way bad.
    [21:41] I doubt it’d be mel, at any rate. I remember reading that he hated those movies. sucks for him that those are the movies he’ll be remembered for long after he’s dead.

  • Boomerang has been airing episodes of Batman: The Animated Series and Superman: The Animated Series. Tonight’s Batman episode was “Growing Pains.” As soon as I saw the title, I remembered most of the episode. I remember it being a very good Robin (Tim Drake) episode… and not a “kid’s” episode, either.

    Quote of the Day
    I slept in this morning. The Ravens weren’t playing, so I didn’t feel the need to be up for kickoff of the remaining games. A little while later, I had the following conversation:

    [12:54] : Morning
    [12:55] : Hola.
    [12:55] : How are you?
    [12:55] : Okay. Trying to find a football game that REALLY holds my interest.
    [12:56] : You might want to mark that on a calendar
    [12:56] : wow.

    I wound up flipping from game to game. A few minutes here… a couple of minutes on this one…. ten or fifteen here… But none of them were “must watch” games. I didn’t even turn on the Sunday night game (San Diego Chargers vs. the New York Giants) until the Fourth Quarter. The Bolts went in and did some work. And I mean WORK. They went in and wrecked shop. I was stunned amazed and how badly they worked over the Giants.

    And that’s a wrap.

    Namaste.
