What the hell is an Urban Assault Vehicle, anyway? I picture something tearing up the streets, only to transform into either a rocket launching system or a robot that holds your groceries while you get out your keys.
This, while it may be meant for the urban environment, does not assault it. It slips in unnoticed, like a particularly dark squirrel in the smog of L.A. The word assault does not conjure up an image of vehicles that “stack like grocery carts”.
I’m pleased to note I seem to have survived the zombie holocaust more-or-less intact. Could be because all the zombies I know are online, apparently.
Avid bloggers, them. That is dedication.
I wrote a piece of pirate fiction for a contest. It was less than a thousand words, and I busted it out in about an hour, but the folks I’ve shown it to seem to like it muchly, so maybe I have a chance to win something. I’ll let you know if I do. ;)
As I came into work this morning, my left side was being blasted by the sun, and I remember thinking “Why does it hurrrt?!” in a very Zim kind of way.
I had really, really strange dreams. Someone posted a video titled “The Impotence of Proofreading”, and while the barrage of words was hilarious, I it made my dreams far weirder than average.
I saw Day Watch last night with a bunch of friends. I have to say I enjoyed it very much, and would totally pick it up on video. I didn’t find the way they did captioning to be at all distracting, and I think a deaf person would be even more pleased at the added visual elements.
I turned on the wii last night to break into a little tennis (I’d like to bump my score up to a perfect 200o) and to see if I’d been sent any new Miis in the night, but by the time I was ready, 1 am had reared its ugly head, and I clearly remember how difficult the previous day was, when I was still friends with 3 am, and decided discretion was the better part of tennis-related valor.
I make origami out of the candy wrappers I get from Pat’s unending chocolate supply, here at work.
I am fairly certain I get to see Lucy tonight, for which I am ze geeked.
That is all.
EDIT: I was wrong, that’s not all. I love (love LOVE) all of the orchestral Halo and Halo 2 music. Of course it’s tied into the story for me, which is part of it, but it’s just some great sh*t, yo.
I really like this guy. He attacks a difficult question with straight-up logic (the kind you may take a class in).
If you haven’t seen this already, take a few minutes to watch this to the end. If you don’t want to watch it now, come back to it later. I think it’s important to think about and discuss these things together.

I think many issues that we tackle are tangled up by us asking the wrong questions (both on a macro and personal scale). This simple scenario asks a better question.
I think we beekeepers should have some sort of contest – who can make a mii we can agree upon for the main characters of ILB?
too bad we can’t add muskles. Or use a vending machine.
If you put a can in a can cooler and then put that in the fridge, does it stay warm?
I’m going to see Day Watch, which has been billed by a friend (I guess that doesn’t make sense when you think of where ‘billed’ comes from) as a “Russian Sci-Fi vampire movie” that takes place in Moscow. Apparently, it’s the top selling movie in post-soviet Russia, and came highly recommended by the friend who just saw it.
Anyway, it’s the sequel to Night Watch, and they’re both about a medieval pact between a “light side” and a “dark side” that have representatives keep watch over each other while the other sleeps.
It’s playing today at the Main Art in Royal Oak at 6:40p today – I’ll be seeing it with a few people, anyone’s welcome to join us.
