Don’t Tease

I’m a UFO nerd. Everyone who knows me either knows that or eventually figures it out. I’ve noticed a trend on the documentary channels that when there is an asteroid strike back 10,000 years ago they now call it an extraterrestrial event, which of course makes my ears perk up. It’s kind of a letdown.

On Summer Glau as Cameron Philips in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

If she kills you, you get to stand in the same line to find out if you get to heaven and since the line is really really long (From what I hear Adam and Eve are still standing in it. Occasionally ticket scalpers show up. But eventually they get beat up by angelic security and thrown out.) when people start asking each other how they died, instead of “I got hit by a bus” you get to say, “This unbelievably hot chick grabbed me by the throat, lifted me a foot off the ground and snapped her fingers. Next thing I remember was standing in this line.”

Now back to griping about the unmitigatedly evil Bizzaro people running our unmitigatedly evil upside-down Bizzaro world.

Valtrex question

If you found out during a first date that the person you’re with has genital herpes would there be a second date? Is there any amount of “charming” or “hot” that can overcome that? I just have a hunch that these “and I don’t” people found out after a few dates. It just seems like an “oh by the way” type of thing. It also seems like something that should set off red flags in an online profile.

The Cancellation of Dark Angel

The opening setting of Dark Angel has the city of Seattle under a police state. Terrorists had detonated a nuclear weapon several thousand feet above Seattle causing an electromagnetic pulse. The people are honeycombed together in apartments and there are checkpoints in and out of town. Now every show rises and falls on the quality of the writing. Except in this case I think orders came from somewhere outside and above Hollywood to cancel the show. The reason for that is that the depiction of Seattle looked too much like the way the world will look after WWIII.

HDMI Technology

I am planning to make a purchase of HD equipment later this year. I have not yet decided on a monitor for my bedroom. At this point I am thinking of something around 24″. The wall it would hang on is too small for anything larger than that. I don’t want to have to upgrade every year. I am hoping that a good HDMI-standard monitor and player will last at least five years. I know that I could purchase a converter box for the existing set but I want to be able to take advantage of the enhanced features that HD offers. I didn’t anticipate the coming changeover. I thought HD would be just an option offered. But it makes sense to drop the analog signal system in favor of digital.

An unnerving thing to wake up to

I guess TiVo had just finished recording one of my Egypt documentaries on the National Geographic Channel. Then the next show was one of the snake documentaries. Evidently they were in India chasing after king cobras. One of the guys gets bitten on the nose. So he cuts off his nose to keep from dying. And that was about the time I opened my eyes and realized what was on the tube. I know plastic surgeons are pretty good at doing reconstructive work. I had a hard enough time pricking my finger to get a freaking drop of blood out. I’d rather live, but I don’t know if I would freeze up at that moment. I have heard of other snakebite victims cutting off hands and such. Getting out of the damn jungle would help probably.

Post-game Sex?

Hmmm…maybe I’ve been going to the wrong parties. It certainly gives new meaning to the “blow by blow.” Of course if you were having halftime sex you might have missed this commercial. Interesting that this is how she has to get your undivided attention when you ignored her for 3 hours.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Casting Suggestion

Verne Troyer as one of the Terminators in the Sarah Connor Chronicles. He’s a cool dude. The ladies always like him. He can easily infiltrate and take everybody out. Even if he gets the skin burnt off him and you see that polished stainless steel endoskull and the glowing red eye, people won’t think he’s that much of a threat. He might have a problem with dogs though. And he’ll need a smaller caliber weapon. I’ll have to work on that.

TV Relationship Survival Guide

Tip Nº 985: When both you and your girlfriend are in bed and hear the noise, do not say “are you?” when she asks if you are going to check it out. She’ll feel safe and grateful. And gratitude sex is even better than makeup sex. This is an opportunity for her to make love to her hero. That is assuming you prevail, aren’t killed, knocked unconscious or taken hostage. So don’t squander it. Take a deep breath. Muster up some testosterone and go get ‘em, tiger! Oh and your Brinks security system should have already alerted the monitoring station. What? no Brinks? Well, if the burglar sees you rip the balustrade out of the stair-railing assembly with your bare hands and come at him, he might surrender on the spot. Better yet…and the viewers will like this one: Rip out the balustrade, grab the rail with your other hand and vault over, landing on the bottom floor and in the same motion swing the balustrade down and around, catching him behind the knee and lift him up off the floor so that he lands squarely on his ass. Then drop to one knee and pin him down by the throat giving him just enough room to gasp at the air. This will boost the ratings immensely.

Movie Review: SS Doomtrooper on SciFi

Baa-Baa Blacksheep takes on The Incredible Hulk. I’ve learned to not expect much from most SciFi Channel movies. This one stars Corin Nemec and Ben Cross. A US Army captain puts together a squad of convicts to go after Nazi creature that is near invincible. The CG shading is so bad I thought I was watching a FPS game made into a movie.
