Really?

I know that the summer months usually bring about large downturns in network television viewership. This makes a lot of sense, since many people are out and about traveling, enjoying the weather, etc. Why does this mean that the quality of the television shows must also take a turn for the crapper? Maybe Jason Alexander and Christopher Lloyd are really hurting. Maybe Marla Sokolof and Ernie Hudston needed to get in bed with Universal if they want some action in the upcoming Ghostbusters 3. Who knows? Not I, said the Pig.

I wonder if the producers know or knew about all of the other planet-destroying-flying-object movies made in the past decade, least of which was titled Armageddon. I am pretty sure that everyone has seen this movie, and if you haven't you should. Best planet-destroying-flying-object movie EVER made. Now it seems that Bruce Willis and Co. got it right when they flew up there, landed on the meteor, drilled into the center of the meteor, planted a nuclear bomb, and sacrificed the old man so that Liv Tyler can marry Ben Affleck. The theory behind this was that if you blew up something on the surface of the meteor, nothing would happen. Now, Jason Alexander said "Eff that Michael Bay, we are going to launch EVERY MISSLE IN THE WHOLE WORLD at the oncoming orb." And they do. Every single missle silo, submarine, bazooka, RPG, IED, ICBM, etc in the whole world is silmutaneously launched into space. But this is only after Marla Sokolof kills a couple Mexican police officers in cold blood, gets stopped at the US/Mexico boarder (she thought she could drive into America with a Mexican police cruiser and blood on her face without raising any eyebrows), but convinces the boarder patrol to let her call the Jet Propulsion Labratory with the coordinates of the meteor (she then take out a pencil and steno-pad and in long hand works out the REAL cooridnates because she thought that "something just wasn't right" and she is able to figure out, on only 1/2 of a sheet of a steno pad, what the entire Jet Propulsion Labratory could not figure out), her murders or either forgiven or considered water under the bridge when the US VP called the border patrol station where she is being held and orders her to be transfered to a military base to help with the science stuff.

Now if this story line (this is just half the story, there are about 10-15 other developing plots) isn't bad enough for you, have no fear. The studio heads at Universal/NBC will never let you down when it comes to bad special effects. Now my friend Ed was working in LA recently doing some CGI stuff. He tells me its pretty slow out there right now. Meteors special effects make the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers seem cutting-edge. When it came time for all of the missle launches, they didn't even bother making new footage. I think they stole training video's from the Missle Command Launch programs in the 1950's. Maybe they were just trying to save costs, I am pretty sure that the MCL program videos are public domain at this point. I am certain that the Computer Program at the Clifton Boy's and Girl's Club could have produced more convincing special effects.

NBC pleae quit wasting your time. Just keep showing reruns of Law and Order. I haven't had my fill of Chris Noth or Sam Watertson a.k.a Jack "The Real" McCoy. And I still have yet to see the episode with Charlie Day as a guest star.

I wish I had talent

Check out how amazing this commercial is. Its the 50th anniversary of the Olympus PEN camera, and they made this stop-motion commercial. The artists took over 60,000 pictures and made almost 10,000 prints to do this. So amazing. I think that stop-motion is some of my favorite technology.

Day Zero Project

I have been working on many of my DZP goals, and so far, so good. I was talking to a friend last night about this journey of mine and how I am feeling somewhat anxious about the whole thing. I have been into the project for almost two months and I truly hope I possess the fortitude to follow through with everything.

I am making a chart to help me review my progress, or lack thereof, and since I will most likely be unable to post anything for the next couple of weeks I will probably just update the public with my progress in August when I get back from camp. Don't worry, it will be epic.

The Blow

I recently fell in love with this band. I really love this song. I am such a sissy.

Title and Registration

I like this song. I don't think that the video "matches" the song well.

Thank You, Readers

I know this is coming after a very long wait, but here I am with a new post. I am so sorry to everyone who has been waiting patiently to hear from me, but as you know I am working at ASC and we have no internet there. I am going to try harder to get out a little more often and find some hotspots, so let's keep our fingers crossed.

As you can see from the title, I want to once again thank all 570 people who have visited my blog. You guys and gals must have the most boring lives ever. I did some research to find out a little more about you voyeurs and some interesting information came to my attention. First and foremost, I did not know that I have become an international superstar. Yes, I knew about the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce has given me a couple hits, accidents at first but I am sure they all have become loyal readers. I did not know about the people in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia, Belgium, Singapore, France, New Zealand, Philippines, Chile, Germany, Norway, Denmark, and Russia! Do you think I should hire an assistant? I don't. And I won't.

Sixty nine of you used Google to search my site (probably Canadians looking to make a deposit), two people were sent over from my good friend AP's blog, 313 people used Firefox, and only 5 people used the new Google Chrome. Amazing!!! The only 2 people left on the planet using dial-up visited my site! I'm a mega-star. (It was probably the two hits from Alabama.) On Friday, June 19, 2009, the average time spent on my site by visitors was 12:40 seconds (there were only two visits that day).

Wow, these are such fun facts!

Cheers!
