Not enough focus on the robots wasn't that sad?? and incredibly sloppy plotting :( That is a beautiful bike! Here is mine:
also, turns out i somehow accidentally got myself a firewall on my lappy, thus getting me the classic(?) "sendmsg: operation not permitted" when i tried to ping anything. turns out the answer was sudo iptables --policy INPUT ACCEPT / sudo iptables --policy FORWARD ACCEPT / sudo iptables --policy OUTPUT ACCEPT . who knew???
sweet bike! I bet it is super-light and well-suited to these hilly Northern terrains.
It occurs to me that the readership of my journal is mostly split between Chicago ("ohmyogd a hill! get the camera!") and San Francisco ("that's not a hill! I'll show you a hill. A real hill.")
also re:transformers, fantastic fake computer lingo. "Not even the most powerful supercomputer could crack it, not even using brute force!" and "Hot-wire that computer to broadcast radio signals!"
yes! i was not sure whether to be impressed or nauseated by "hot-wire that computer".
around here there are a lot of hills but almost none of them are big. the bike is not supersuperlight, but way lighter than the one i was riding in the fall/winter!
yes! i was not sure whether to be impressed or nauseated by "hot-wire that computer". With the correct usage, that is an impressive line; "hot-wire" could be taken as synonymous with "make this work through badass and sketchy means." The glorified way of the hacker!
I do not know what to make of the female characters in that movie and what this says about mainstream America's ideal chick. They are super-smart, but in a threatening way (is super-smart "in" now?) and of course supermodel-hot (and not in a wholeseome way).
"hot-wire" could be taken as synonymous with "make this work through badass and sketchy means." The glorified way of the hacker! true! but i was bothered because i couldn't help but take it literally :P
I do not know what to make of the female characters in that movie and what this says about mainstream America's ideal chick. it seemed kind of like the movie was saying, "check out how progressive we are! our smartest characters are a hot chick and a black guy!" but since it failed to make any of the characters (smart/hot or not) interesting/compelling, it ends up being kind of a pointless statement.
