R: The Flippered Duck

Random Hoo Haas has a second volume of unfinished works up. If anyone actually has the patience to finish reading any of them, let me know!

Nothing terribly spectacular to talk about on the internet lately. Well, okay, I went to Portrush a couple of days ago to see a friend perform in a play; I got myself a cable that allows me to view what’s on my PC on the TV screen (time to start appreciating some gamepad-friendly PC games!); I bought myself a PSP with a really terrible selection of games; and I watched Q: The Winged Serpent, which was an enjoyable piece of schlock. I was disappointed that it offed Richard Roundtree in such a casual manner, though. I know he’s meant to be playing the “bad” cop, but come on, that doesn’t change the fact he’s as cool as Samuel L. Jackson in a block of ice.

Today’s observation: They’re advertising ShamWow! on local television. That’s kind of unexpected.

More than you need to know

Today’s observation: Brushing your teeth when you’ve got a hair in your mouth is up there in my list of truly disgusting experiences.

The best laid plans of plugs and incompatible ports

Monday, July 5, 2010 at 8:47 pm Comments Off on The best laid plans of plugs and incompatible ports

I love old technology. I still believe old-timey cars are the handsomest automobiles that will ever exist, I much prefer the raw, non-streamlined look of old aircraft, and let’s face it, I’d sooner take an ancient kettle just for its display value than a modern one that, y’know, doesn’t blow up in your face if you leave it unattended.

I hate how hard it is to get rid of the stuff, though.

Do people still make 24 jokes anymore?

Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 10:45 pm Comments Off on Do people still make 24 jokes anymore?

So I went out this evening to learn a little about swifts. Pretty awesome birds! They’ve got tiny adorable little feet and beautiful crescent-like wings. Also they copulate in midair. Apparently they also sleep while flying! Someone wanted to know how anyone found that out, pondering if they were kidnapped and interrogated. I really, really wanted to suggest that the interrogator they used was Jackdaw-er, but I didn’t. I’m kicking myself for not utilising such a terrible, terrible pun.

Also we’re halfway through the year already? Colour me miffed!

With additional dialogue by William Shakespeare

Monday, June 28, 2010 at 5:11 pm Comments Off on With additional dialogue by William Shakespeare

I began watching the first series of Blackadder a week or so ago and finished the last episode tonight. Although I’m not as familiar with the series as I’d like to be, I positively love Blackadder Goes Forth, and I always love seeing how series can start off so humbly. The series truly shines with its razor-sharp wit and punchy dialogue, and it truly makes the best out of having three characters traipse around a single set for half the episode.

The first series isn’t like that.

E3 and Outlander – which is better?

Friday, June 25, 2010 at 5:52 pm Comments Off on E3 and Outlander – which is better?

How about that E3, huh? How about it indeed. I haven’t been paying attention to it and it seems the Twitter feed is the only decent summary of all the games being shown, but quite frankly, I’m not terribly impressed save for a couple of notable highlights. Here’s a few thoughts!

“There’s no law against being a ninja!”

Friday, June 11, 2010 at 5:24 pm Comments Off on “There’s no law against being a ninja!”

I’ve officially had this cold for over a week now and it still hasn’t fully cleared up. I hate the world!

Also, just a head’s up, I’ll be away for a week starting from tomorrow. I’ve, uh, no idea where it is I’m going! It’s somewhere in the countryside, I guess, but that’s about as specific as my knowledge goes. It’d be pretty rad if I could say I was taking a holiday to hell, but well, no, that’d be a little unpleasant. The damned do not accept tourists well.

UPDATE – Random Action Hour

Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at 7:36 pm Comments Off on UPDATE – Random Action Hour

Siege is up. It’s not quite as good as I remember, but it ain’t a bad episode.

Today’s observation: I liked the weather more when it made people miserable.

Further adventures in hating the internet

Saturday, May 22, 2010 at 6:08 pm Comments (1)

Most online messages boards don’t just call user profiles “profiles” but title them “public profiles.” With capital letters, even!

And then you are told this when you click them. Online society is destroying the basic definitions of the English language.

Planet Terror!

Friday, May 21, 2010 at 12:17 pm Comments Off on Planet Terror!

Survival is today’s Cadillacs And Dinosaurs episode. We’re getting ever so close to the conclusion!

I watched Planet Terror last night. I was actually quite happy to just sit down and watch Theodore Rex, but padre suggested this one and I could hardly accept anything else once the decision was made. It’s Planet freakin’ Terror!
