Current Music: “One Shall Stand and One Shall Fall”Current Mood: nerdyActually a serious breakdown of the movie now that I have seen it twice, but first a comment about movie screens. Right now in Minneapolis it costs about $9 a person to see a movie. It costs slightly less than that (7 or at my [...]

Current Mood: nostalgicI’m a big fan of the original Transformers show. This is no secret. I’m not a crazy-go-nuts fan, I’ve never attended a bot-con and I don’t buy and sell toys on ebay. But I have re-watched the original series (which I own in its entirety on DVD) as an adult. And when I’m [...]
Current Mood: pissed offhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/07/20070717-3.html Last time I still checked, the constitution which grants power to the president, also provides freedoms that he cannot take away from the people.

Last night after much deliberation Lauren and I finally decided on a laptop for her future endeavours as a writer and student at the university. As many of you know I have primarily subsisted on second hand, or ebay bought, used and repaired laptops. And in many ways I plan on continuing to do so [...]
I saw the opening show of Transformers tonight. For those of you who are afraid that this would be 2.5 hours of Micheal Bay taking your childhood in the form of the all-metal original toy of Megatron violating you in all the wrong places while Optimus Prime with lips kisses you inappropriately and says “Who’s [...]
A Neo-Con I am not. Neither is Ron Paul, which to me makes him interesting. What he is: Actually pro-lower taxes – not just about preaching lower taxes and then raising them to pay for Wars and big military budgets. He has never voted to raise taxes while in congress. Pro-life – automatically makes him [...]
Current Mood: amusedMatthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Today when I read this all I could think was “Bullshit” That ever happen to you when your reading the bible?
