Celosa! will be adopted by a hard core geek
On Sunday, Graham and I are driving to Celosa's breeder to hang out with her and her sibs. She'll be a day over six weeks old, and we're going to be part of her socialization. It'll be ridiculously hard to see her and then leave her, but we'll get her permanently in a few weeks.
In the meantime, Graham doesn't know this yet, but we are going to see this sometime this weekend:
I don't care that I have a list of Oscar nominated movies to see first. This movie was made for me and my kind and I have an obligation to see it. Did any of ya'll know about it? For us, it's playing at the Angelika downtown, so I assume it's release is limited.
And speaking of geeks, twistedcat posted an awesome article about not one, but two geeks in convenience stores in Denver. I assume they argue about contractor liability on the Death Star on a regular basis as well. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A surveillance picture released by police Wednesday afternoon shows a man armed with what appears to be a small Klingon sword, holding up a 7-Eleven convenience store.
That same man robbed another 7-Eleven store store a half-hour later, and remains at large, Colorado Springs police Lt. David Whitlock said.
The first robbery was reported at 1:50 a.m., at 145 N Spruce St. The clerk told police a white man in his 20s, wearing a black mask, black jacket, and blue jeans, entered the store with a weapon the clerk recognized from the Star Trek TV series.
The robber demanded money and left with an undisclosed amount.
A half hour later, police received a call from a 7-Eleven at 2407 N. Union Blvd., where a man matching the previous description entered the store with a similar weapon. He also demanded money from the store clerk. The clerk refused and the robber "transported" himself out of the store on foot.
Both clerks described the weapon as a Star Trek Klingon-type sword, called a "bat'leth."
Neither clerk was injured in the robberies.
The Startrek.com Web site describes the Klingon weapon as crescent-shaped and about a yard long. However, the weapon that the man was wielding appears to be smaller than that. The bat'leth has points on both ends, two points in between and a handle on the outside.
Police said they don't know if the sword used by the robber was made of metal.
Klingons were warlike enemies of the good-guy United Federation of Planets in the original "Star Trek" series but were allies in "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
