JFK Speech on Secret Societies and Freedom of the Press

The images are silly but the speech is top notch. Listen to his words rather then watching the retarded choice of pictures some guy edited over the audio.

"I've got a badass plan."

Bring in the New Year -- with loads of work.

**don't read this post, it's just a load of crap.

I'm in the fourth level of hell right now doing some clean up work -- it's fucking hot down here. Gruesome.

Anyway I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Years eve (I know I'm a day early but I'm bored) and to tell you that Officer Hinkie doesn't want you to drink and drive. He's watching you, and he's jotting down notes, like Santa with a badge.

Hopefully I'll be able to get out of here in time to pick of some good beer for tomorrow's celebration, I'm thinking something super good, some super good high end beer to bring in the new year. I'm taking suggestions.

The reason I need to buy it tonight is because in Minnesota, a state of religious zealots, there is a law that prohibits me from buying alcohol on Sunday. My guess is that some sneaky ninja Christians snuck it into law centuries ago back when God was creating America. "The good old days." Well, I think it's a backwards and stupid law.

I'm sure Hayao Miyazaki would say this: "Drinking is the key to live, children. Without it me and my brain would not be able to come up with the brilliant animated movies that I concoct. Please send me potatoes and cheeseburgers c/o First Line Express P.O. 111 Washington D.C., Japan 3401. I love this kind of food. Thank you."

And there you have it. That is why Minnesota is sometimes fucking stupid.

Woohoo!!1

I got a Wii today! Woooooohoooo!

As of right now, I'm typing this post from the Wii -- it's not as easy as a keyboard but I'm still pretty fast. I'll tell ya'll more about it after I play a shit-load of Zelda. So far though, the Wii has been fucking great!

A is for Atom (1953).

Alright, 3 things.

It's been a while since I've posted. -- busy drinking and working, but I have three things to whisper into your godly ears.

First up, John Hodgman's "The Areas of My Expertise" in audio book is now currently on iTunes, for free. (direct link to the itunes store) It is not that funny over all, but it's given me a few laughs, and it is free. Jonathon Coulton, a musician, is featured throughout the audio book, Hans mentioned him on his blog here.

Next up is the new Transformers trailer. It looks like a fun movie, but my big wait if for the new TMNT movie coming out around my birthday. There are a lot of good movies to look forward to. (Such as 300).

Alright, lastly is a sweet web flash game called Line Rider. It's fucking simple and it's fucking brilliant. I think Spud most of all would really enjoy it's beauty as it reminds me of the doodles he would draw in his notebooks all through High School. There are rumors that they are going to port Line Rider to the Nintendo DS, which is a fucking brilliant idea. Anyways, Enjoy the game, and enjoy this video:

The Japanese aren't the only ones who've discovered cute.

Is Battlestar Galactica Doomed?
Posted by Annalee Newitz

It is with a heavy heart that I am forced to confront the possibility that the once-great show Battlestar Galactica may be heading to fraktown. After Friday's head-clutchingly bad episode, which combined boxing scenes with barfy romantic flashbacks, my sense of foreboding has escalated into franchise panic. Will our beloved show go Star Trek:TNG season 7 on us? Or, worse, Buffy season 6? Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. Read on for the ten signs that Battlestar Galactica is turning a dangerous corner . . .

10. Show co-creators Ron Moore and David Eick are both developing multiple other projects. Moore is working on BSG prequel show Caprica, and Eick is working on both Bionic Woman and Them.

9. Crucial subplots, such as the fate of Sharon and Helo's hybrid baby, are left dangling for more than three episodes.

8. Rather than developing characters via personal transformation, character development is charted via hair length, presence/absence of beards, and weight gain/loss.

7. The only way the writers imagine they can showcase Edward James Olmos' considerable acting talents is via long-winded speeches.

6. Cylon threesomes.

5. Too much intimacy with the mysterious Cylon enemy in their SM dungeon ship makes them seem campy rather than scary.

4. Entire episodes are clumsily devoted to single-word social issues like "torture" and "genocide."

3. Eick promises next season will bring more flashback-heavy episodes that focus on romantic entanglements and/or childhood trauma.

2. A retcon turns Adama into the cause of the Cylons' attack on the twelve colonies, thus making him both improbably important and too much of a bastard.

1. Boxing is used as a thin excuse for an episode that could have been written (better) by shippers

The Legend of Zelda Retrospective Part 6

I really enjoyed their theorized time-line in this one.
