Top 10 reasons to watch Battlestar Galactica

No spoilers!

I love trailers

Yay trailers! They're bite size bits of entertainment that sometimes indicate a whole movie of goodness! But sometimes the trailer uses all the funny. All you can do is hope you didn't spend $9 to see the whole thing before you found out. Here are my trailer verdicts:

Iron Man- Looks friggin' awesome. Robert Downey Jr is perfect for the role. Cross fingers and hope movie doesn't suck.

Wanted- Also looks awesome! Angelina kicking ass, check. James McAvoy, check. I'm so sold. I love me some good action.

Indiana Jones 4- Looks okay- the trailer doesn't really show a lot other than clips of the action. I'm cautiously hopeful, but not holding my breath.

Get Smart- Trailer delivers. I'd like to go see it.

The Love Guru- Netflix. I laughed in places, but it's nothing we haven't seen Mike Meyers do before. And Jessica Alba promises to be as dull as always.

Sex and the City- Netflix. It'll probably be more of the same as the TV show, and I didn't pay to watch that either.

Doomsday- Apparently not starring Kate Beckinsale, but I didn't realize that until I read the cast list. The action looks good, but it'll probably be a Netflix.

The Bank Job- Doesn't look like Jason Statham will be flipping any cars in this one, so yay! Looks decent, probably Netflix.

Many thanks to Apple for putting all these trailers in one place for me to enjoy.

no more games now.

I went out and bought Animal crossing for the DS last night. I'm weak. It's not exactly the same as the 'cube version, but is just as engaging.

One problem with both games is that they follow the clock in real time. This is a bit of an issue when you want to play in the middle of the night, since the store is closed. You can't do a whole lot when the store is closed. You can change the time and date in game, but you don't want to do that. If you do that, (or if you turn off the game without saving) a mole by the name of Resetti chews you out the next time you play. Then you have to click through a lot of text. I'm told that if you keep doing it the text gets longer and longer, then he makes you write an apology! Moral of the story: change the time on your DS/cube/Wii.

Neen- ten- doh

I've had Animal Crossing for 2 days and I already want the DS version. It's not exciting, but it does hook you in. The premise is that you move into this little town, and you have to buy a house to live in, but you don't have enough money. So the first thing you do is pay off your loan! Wow, fun! You earn money by doing errands for the animals, or shaking trees or whatever. Then later you get to make your house bigger, and decorate it, and collect fish...

It's on Gamecube, so you can get it at your local Gamestop for about $17. Hurry though, they're clearing out all their Gamecube stuff.

Wii version forthcoming!

Home sick

I had my day planned out: get up about 7:30 to take a shower, leave about 8:30, collect crew, go work at Copaken. Instead I woke up before 6 with a pain behind my left eye. I took an advil and unsuccessfully tried to go back to sleep. I got back up and got a hot pack to put on my head and tried to go back to sleep again. I got up again, considered throwing up, didn't, and went back to bed, but not to sleep. After Donald finished his shower I did throw up, and felt a bit better. After I took a shower I felt really weak, and eventually decided not to go to work. Fortunately the first carpool pickup lives next door so I had Donald give him my keys and the carpool carried on without me. I feel rather better after a few more hours sleep- at least at the moment. I predict more sleep in my future today.

Simon's Cat 'Let Me In!'

Still working?

I can't believe I'm still here, at 5:21 pm. We had the final dress rehearsal this morning at 10am. It was over about 1, and then surprise! We were going to lunch then coming back to work on cues more. I thought I'd be home by 2:00. Now I'm just hoping that nothing gets screwed up for opening night, since there are no more rehearsals left. It doesn't help that I'm not doing anything. My main job has been to organize the followspots, and they got sent home over an hour ago. They keep working on the projections, which amount to a series of powerpoint slides. (They look about as good as you think they do.) Jeez.

Cat of 1000 Faces - Episode 1

Can you solve it?

Riddle

You are driving in a car at a constant speed. On your left side is a 'drop off', (The ground is 18-20 inches below the level you are traveling on), and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you. In front of you is a galloping horse, which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a galloping zebra. Both the horse and zebra are also traveling at the same speed as you. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?
