Though it's not over yet as I write this, I'm done doing stuff for the day, so it might as well be.

Anyway, bammba_m and I had ourselves a nice day of hanging out. We had planned to go see Monsters vs. Aliens 3D at 11:30 this morning, so we met at 9:30 and had breakfast at Steak and Shake. Though we were originally slated to eat at IHOP, I'm glad we ( Read more... )

I meant to post this a couple weeks ago. I somehow managed to forget that Pixar is a company to be trusted. Cars starred two people of whom I have rather low opinions (Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy) and Ratattouille... well, to be honest, I didn't really know what to make of it when I first heard about it.

... for my own good.

A couple years ago I downloaded Back to the Future: The Series from a torrent site and I never really got around to watching it. I put one on just now and had to stop. Why? Because Doc Brown claimed he was in Hill Valley in the year 3,000,000 BC, "right smack dab in the middle of the Cretaceous period ( Read more... )

This is ridiculously cool.

... or at least Super-rabbit, but that's a different cartoon (one worthy of note, certainly, as it cemented Bugs's place as an honorary Master Sergeant in the US Marines, but not the one I'm thinking of tonight).

Bugs's superhumanity is observed and hypothesized upon hereSeriously, this is nothing short of awesome. If anyone ever accuses you of ( Read more... )

I was thinking last night about the accusations frequently levelled at Disney regarding their propensity to, even in this enlightened day and age, cast their female characters in rigidly stereotypical roles -- chiefly as attractive but shallow women driven solely by the desire to get married. I thought I might take another look at that and see how ( Read more... )
