Why is it “First Night”?
Shouldn’t it be “First Morning”?
I am so confused

Christmas is over
Thank goodness for gift receipts
Not from you, of course!

A Late Holiday Tip

// December 28th, 2003 // Comments Off // General

For next Christmas, when looking for the gift for that geeky, corporate someone who has everything, there’s always this. However, it should probably also be considered for that person who has everything, and you want to them see die in a horrible, gridlock-inducing, ten-car-pileup car crash.

It was my idea, I tell you!

Following up on a previous posting of mine, it looks like it’s pretty much been done. Still a cool idea if it works, though.

Return of the King
Of course I had to use that!
Long movie, but good

A RotK Observance

// December 19th, 2003 // Comments Off // Reviews

In the movie Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, was it just me, or did anyone else wonder who the heck had that ungodly task of sitting atop those mountains, waiting for years and years to light that signal fire? It’s not as if the fires took at least a few minutes to light either — they went up almost immediately after the previous one did! That means someone was sitting there….waiting. And waiting.

Captain: “You there! You’re on torch duty.”
Soldier: “Oh drat!”

I can just picture some ragged old hermit, sitting cold atop the mountain in the clouds, wiping away the crud from his eyes as he stares endlessly at the previous signal fire station miles away. Trying as hard as he can to keep the flame in the ignition torch he holds to stay alight against the howling, chilling winds. Poor bastard.
