Total Recall.
Surely, the is no better sci-fi action movie out there. Its hard to compete with a movie that has the hero use an innocent bystander as a human shield within the first 20 minutes. Also, its seems these days you don't often see intensely grotesque puncture wounds to the neck or face outside of the torture porn genre. Even then, its all sacrificial lamb shit with none of the feel good intensity you get when it happens ot a bad guy or henchman (or scientist in this case). Even the cheesey one liners seem better than normal in this movie. "consider that a divorce" after shooting your wife in the head, and "screw you" while murdering and man driving a drilling machine with a hand held drill, are just some of the examples.
Then theres the whole mnd fuck. was Quaid actually just living out his mars fantasy provided by recall, or was it really all just a conincidence? but at recall they showed Melina's face, and the one tech said "blue sky on Mars, that's a new one". Was it real? I don't know! what about what the guy from recall said? or was he from recall? maybe Cohagen did hire him to mess with Quaid/Houser.
Dang.
I'm never gonna get to sleep.

Tweets and Barrells.
It has recently come to my intention that i am not a very good blogger.
i've resigned to tweets. although sometimes i tend to go over the character limit.
its hard to be eloquent when you're always having to take words out of your masterpiece of cynical thought.
like today, for example. i wanted to express my concerns that a certain word is being used to describe everything from pleasant surroundings to art to a tuna fish sandwich.
my tweet should have read
"Dear everyone,
I humbly request that you please stop referring to everything as being "Amazing". For a list of acceptable replacement adjectives, please consult a thesaurus."
however, that is 33 characters too long for a tweet. it only takes about 10 seconds to say aloud.
too long.
well, perhaps my frustration with make me a better blogger.

a trip to market
12 Organic brand eggs :$8.99
in these tough economic times, can you believe what they're charging for a smug sense of self importance?
astronomical.

Dear Mac Users, Pt.1
Why is everyone so afraid of mercury all of a sudden?
what's wrong? i don't get it. does it look too cool? has its looking too cool reached pretentiousness? and has the pretentiousness ostracized it from the new hip community? because that's what apple computers is trying to convince me.
well I refuse to buy in to some elemental hate speak by an elitist marketing campaign!
I'm siding with emperor Qin Shi Huang on this one.
when I shuffle lose this mortal coil, I too will be entombed, floating on a lake of mercury.
quicksilver as I like to call it.
hydrargyrum, as no one likes to call it.

amends
Alright, alright,
as it turns out, i've been in a bit of a bubble living in the north.
a Ukrainian friend of mine recently pointed out that my theory of Mayor Sam Sullivan's supervillan-esqe plot to kill all the homeless in Vancouver with a weather changing machine, has a fatal flaw. Sam Sullivan is no longer mayor of Vancouver.
it's too bad. i really liked the idea of having a manifestation of evil in a wheelchair.
Apperently though, on November 15th the people of Vancouver elected a new guy. Gregor Robertson. a co-founder of "Happy Planet" organic juices. i believe they have a beverage called mango peach party, which is featured at the bonanza market in dawson city.
in any case, the whole thing reeks of bad vibes. "Happy Planet" is exactly the kind of company a supervilan would own. throws people off.
it all finally makes sense. Gregor Robertson, the abilities council, and the reverse vampires are all in on this together. cancelling flights, weather changing machines, dead homeless.....
be weary of all organic juices. not just happy planet.
at the very least they contain some sort of light sedative. maybe even mind control drugs.
did i mention one of his kids is named Satchel.
i hope the kids at school call him(or her) "bag".

Fevers and Palm Trees
Nothing like a Hot Toddy and a zinc lozenge among the lush greenery and 26 degree heat of Hawaii.
