Back In My Day…

I don’t mean to bash the homosexual population with this. I’m really just running with the idea that once upon a time vampires (even when sexual) were scary.

(Actually I guess if you are a homophobe the new vampires might be even scarier….)

The Oregon Trail Official Trailer

Wow. Talk about bringing back memories from my childhood. Anyone who grew up during the 80′s will have fond memories of The Oregon Trail either as a game they loved to play or were forced to play in gradeschool. Learning from video games now done in movie form!

OK This isn’t real but what an amazingly fun concept!

In 1864, a family embarks on an impossible journey into the untamed American West. Based on the classic educational computer game, The Oregon Trail by MECC.

(Site note: You can play the original Oregon Trail here.)

Another Filler Post From Being Busy

Today = work + packing to move + finishing pre-typing posts for sites. That is all.
On top of that I found moving Saturday is going to be more difficult then originally planned.

While I am a fan of Google (Specially over Apple and Microsoft’s sorry excuses for anything to merge television and the web) this still made me laugh.

An Assortment Of Underachieving At-Ats

I don’t know why but for some reason: maybe it’s the title, maybe it’s the images… all I can do is picture a bunch of AT-AT’s running around to the Benny Hill show theme music. Could be I’ve finally lost it and in my search for humor to not snap while working in a Help Desk that I actually have lost what little was left of my mind. All I know is that today has been an extremely long day and it’s not even 1 yet. Complaining aside I figured Star Wars fans would get a kick out of this one.

The Rebirth of Futurama

I’m not big on posting news on my journal that doesn’t involve my projects but it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for since they brought back Family Guy… someone to wise up and bring back a REAL cartoon, namely Futurama. Well maybe you haven’t all been waiting for it but I have.

On June 24th, Season 6 of Futurama will officially be coming to Comedy Central with a 2 episode special ‘Rebirth’. While anyone who paid attention with the press that came out around the release of hte feature films knew this was ‘supposed’ to happen we finally have a date of release and a channel!

Apparently Comedy Central Insider will be giving us (see: The Internet) a lot of unique stills until the first episode airs. [via: Wired]

Communication Problems

Sometimes my girlfriend (I’m glad she has a sense of humor or I’d be afraid to type this) tells me I need to communicate more. I get it. I can be quiet in ‘the real world’ as I’m often distracted or have too much internal thinking going on… that and I’m just quiet. Hell I’m also too used to not sharing what’s on my mind.

While that is something I’m working on there are times though she tells me I shouldn’t repeat what I just said in public – EVER (even though I get a laugh or two out of her with it.)

This comic is a complete representation of that last part.

Seriously Look At His Facial Expression

2 Posts in a day? Couldn’t be helped!

It’s absolutely amazing how a single inserted flashback scene can make this entire memorable Star Wars scene both 20x more disturbing and humorous. I mean just look at his facial expression right before AND after the flashback. Hilarious.

…Seriously Though I Can’t Wait To Sleep In Tomorrow

It’s been a VERY long week back to work (and back to being the on call tech at my job meaning I’m pretty much up everyday at 5am. After the cruise in a different time zone painful doesn’t even begin to describe it.) While work’s been ‘busy’ for the most part it’s been so slow for most of today that my brain feels like Jello. Not a good sign while I still have a review to write that’d I’d prefer to get done before I leave the office and START on my “hey I was on vacation” post to cover last week’s cruise.

This weekends MUST DO (see: What I WANT To Do) activities?

• 5+ reviews, 5+ news posts, and hopefully finalizing a website to be launched!
• Watch 3 horror movies I have to review.
• Finish watching Deadwood Season 1.
• Saturday will consist of sleeping (after falling back asleep after the 5am work call) and spending time with Leah.
• Sunday I will be having lunch with the parents and grandparents. This isn’t an Easter lunch though as we are heathens.

Vampire I’d Like To..

With the severe lack of female vampires on this show I was a bit iffy on actually posting this one. (Sorry ladies – male vampires don’t do it for me.) I mean we men do get Eric’s lackey but on the eye candy department that leaves us..? Oh wait. That’s right.. there is the queen of the vampires played by Evan Rachel Wood. Yum.
