Things that I have done since I last blogged:
- Participated in the world record-breaking
zombie walk in Fremont. What do you mean, ‘What’s a zombie walk?’?? What the hell do you think it is!?? Yeesh. - Had nightmares about zombies. Which, unlike my fear of robots, is totally silly.
- Re-watched the first season of Dollhouse. And now that I’ve started watching BSG, my attraction to Tahmoh Penikett is blossoming nicely into a full-fledged crush.
- Received a pedicure. Sometimes I do things that girls do.
- Hung out with my family. Like, almost all of them, and at the same time. Remind me to tell you the pickle-slicer joke some time.
- Went Nathan Fillion hunting in Seattle Center. One of the many advantages of following him on Twitter. Didn’t end up seeing him, but I did toss the disc around with a couple of cute boys. I gotta go to Seattle Center more.
Things that I have not done since I last blogged:
- Read a book. Books have too many words and not enough television.
- Trained for my 10k. Which will be a lot less funny when I actually have to run it in a few weeks.
- Gotten a job. I don’t have a time for a job anyway, I’ve got too many shows to watch.
- Gone on a date. Who needs a boyfriend when I’ve got cake? Well, I ate all the cake already, but I’ll get some more. Or maybe I’ll wait for the cake to come to me. Yeah, I like that idea better.
And this is why. News from the future, via Geekologie.
My friends have been subjected to a lot of fearmongering about robots lately (mostly from myself, caused by a sudden and inexplicable yet totally rational fear of robots), and I thought I’d just post this video as a bleak reminder of what will become of us all.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
If you live in Seattle, you might remember the little ol’ lady from Ballard who dug in her heels when developers came a-knockin’. Having lived in the same house for nearly her whole life, Edith Macefield refused to sell, and development continued on around her home, leaving her the only house on a block of concrete. Clearly, Pete Docter stole this story for his movie “Up,” which I hear is pretty crappy anyway.
While Carl Fredricksen was based on the real-life Edith Macefield, Wilderness Scout Russell has no real-world counterpart other than the countless chubby annoying Asian kids I know.
If you don’t believe me, check out the image I found on Digg today called “Here’s UP in Real Life”…

Last night I went to a free sneak preview of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. In case you were wondering, “the Fallen” doesn’t actually refer to the Decepticons that fell into the Laurentian abyss because that would make too much sense. Instead, it refers to some enigmatic figure in a positively convoluted plot that just doesn’t quite mesh with movie number one. Add some explosions and you’ve got yourself a a terrible, terrible sequel.
Needless to say, I was highly disappointed by the whole experience.
An unfavorable review of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
If you’re a dad: enjoy your day today, you’ve earned it! Kick back, relax, and watch some ball on the tube. Moms: you can all go fuck yourselves. Just kidding, that’s dad’s job today.
Who is that handsome fellow? Love you, dad!
