Stuff...

This wasn't how I planned on starting this post, but imdb will do that to you. Did anyone else hear that Johnny Depp is rumored to be playing the Riddler in the next Batman movie?!? How awesome would that be? Of course James Franco is also rumored to be playing it, so we'll see. It is the first time I have seen imdb put up two people rumored to be playing the same role though. ::shrug:: Just was stoked & had to geek out for a sec. On to business...

Beverly Hills Cop III & other random thoughts...

So, why the hell does Axel think Agent Fulbright is in on the counterfeiting ring? How was the audience supposed to suspect it? Why can't I find anyone else asking these questions anywhere else online? Seriously. Hugest. Plot hole. Ever. Oh well, other than that, I love that movie. I know all the horrible reviews it got when it came out, from the press and people involved with the production. Maybe it's just because of the association with a theme park...who knows, but I think it's awesome. Also, it's wonderful to have Bronson Pinchot reprise his role as Serge. Side note: Did you know that it was Pinchot's original portrayal of Serge in the first Beverly Hills Cop that got him offered Perfect Strangers? True. He was allowed to pick his costar even. Not too shabby for about 5 total minutes of screen time.

Well, well, well...

So, my laptop is either dead or in a very secretive state of suspended animation...kinda like Walt Disney, I guess...except I know where my laptop is and there still seems to be very minor signs of possible life... ... . Anyway, I suppose it's hopeful that it might pull through if I can fund its resuscitation even though it totally sucks that it's on the IR indefinitely. Lamest part is all the programs I no longer have access to since I'm using my mom's PC now and I don't wanna risk messing it up by downloading stuff (a fear I did not have while using my Mac.) This means no more Photoshop, FinalCut, Limewire, or anything else fun for a while. I'm pretty clever though, I'm sure I'll figure something out. I'm already working on disassembling my MacBook Pro to see if there's any glaringly obvious mishaps I can remedy. I'll be sure to let you know how that goes. The one nice thing is I no longer have to use apple-V to type the letter "e" any more, though it has been strange remembering how to type with all 26 working letters.

I scream, you scream, we all scream "O Tannenbaum"

Completely random. Today while I was hedging, I heard an ice cream truck. It was playing "Catch a Falling Star." It made me think of Lost...at least that's why I initially noticed it. Then, though, in a completely unimaginable turn of events, the ice cream truck began to play Christmas carols. Yes, plural. It had to be at least 4 or 5 in a row & continued till it was out of audible range. Times are strange, my friends, strange indeed.

Ego ipse efficio

What ever happened to the great position of respect once held by the self-educated man? The Renaissance man? Ben Franklin was an amazing individual; Inventor, scholar, author, politician, and much more. He was held in the utmost respect, even by other great men of his day. I like to think he was like Howard da Silva, but I know that probably isn't true. Still, even today, we study and revere him and his contributions to society in so many fields.

Posting is for posteurs...

So the format is going to change some now. Instead of being a video-almost-all-the-time type blog, I'm going to do more of a video-sometimes-when-I-get-a-chance type blog. Mostly will be posting from my phone, but from my comp when I get chances. Mobily, they'll probably be shorter, but we'll see.
So, this is mostly a NEWS UPDATE post. I'm about to post an actual, factual, real bloggy post. See you in a sec.

Onward...

Well...here we go. Off to the crib. Still trying to come up with a good name for it. I've thought of myPad, The Crib, Montana (406 is the area code for the whole state...didn't know that, did you?). Nothing is really sticking out at me yet, but I do kinda like myPad. As soon as I get internet, there will be a lot more blogging and more video posts I SWEAR. I do miss you all. Give me a call and come over to hang.

Till next time...
