I haven’t finished out the “Gabe at the Park posts.” Here he’s trying to catch batting practice flies. He’s not in position. It takes a special person to figure out how to snag a homer.

Link of the Day [9.15.11]Replace Houston with Baltimore in today's link and you'll have the story of the Orioles. Except in this case the O's never got to the World Series in the last 30 years, and they never had a winning season in 14 years. Plus, they haven't produced a star out of their farm system since Cal Ripken, Jr. For all this talk about Houston being rock bottom, let me paraphrase Brad Pitt from the soon to be released movie, Moneyball: there's rock bottom, then there' fifty feet of crap, and then there's [the A's], and then there's the Orioles.http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6967153/rock-bottom-h-town
“Art comes first for me, Dave.” “I see. And where does your job come in.” “Fourth.”
As I said on twitter, “Watch Contagion and then never touch anything ever again.“
Contagion will freak you out about germs, viruses, the flu, HIV, venereal diseases, and almost anything contagious. It’ll scare you.
I didn’t know this was a Soderbergh movie.
I liked how clinical this movie was. This is the virus. This is the patient. These are the victims. They’re all dead. You couldn’t sympathize with anyone, because you had to sympathize with everyone.

I don’t understand why you need to configure anything anymore. It’s best to just get it out of the box. If it works, it works.
Configuration is for saps!

I should contribute my collection of boxes of OS X from panther to snow leopard. Or maybe, if CapitolSwell didn’t toss it the PowerBook 140 and the Apple ][e!

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark won’t keep me up at night. While certainly spooky at times, it’s frights never materialized to made me admonish myself to “not be afraid of the dark.” Of course, on occasion, I got goosebumps, but that’s just because it was cold in the theatre. I didn’t even have to hide behind the bill of my cap.
The movie was produced and written by Guillermo del Toro. The monsters were faeries like the ones found in del Toro’s adaption of Hellboy. If you think this spoils the movie for you, then you’ve got to watch to see how they spook out the house owners.
The new owners of the condemned house are a couple of nitwits. Guy Pearse is starting to corner the spineless asshole parts. Katie Holmes didn’t have much to say except be the non-sceptic in the house. The young daughter gets them into trouble, first by coming into their home, then unknowingly unleashing the darkness.
If you have faeries swarming about you, you start sweeping the legs and start sweeping the ground around you. Boot them about!
Not scary enough, but worth a look on a cold winter’s night.

Link of the Day [9.06.11]
The legend of pretend anchorman started back in high school. We would be drinking 40s of Colt .45, passing the bottle around until it was done. You can only get through 2 of those before you want to throw up except you had bought four. The only way to finish those 40s is to play pretend anchorman. Just pass one bottle around until you kill it. No different from earlier in the night except for there is no stopping the bottle going around and around. Pretend anchorman is just a chugfest.
Today’s link will show you how to play the real anchorman drinking game. I think the pretend anchorman is more fun.

“Matthew, you’re not going to find any icebergs with your nose buried in that nefarious scandal sheet.”
The Thing (2011) is coming! So is @M_E_Winstead. I wonder, when viewing the trailer, you get that Ripley feeling. O, Mary Elizabeth, can you kick alien ass as great as Ms. Weaver.
I am so there. I can’t resist her big brown eyes.
“Sure, we’ve all wanted to kill Matthew, but what good would that do?” “It would make him dead.”
Had a blast at the inaugural Baltimore Grand Prix. Although, we were there on the Saturday and just watched the American Le Mans, it was still fun. If you go next year, get the 2 day pass so that you can wander around on the Saturday and watch the grand prix on the Sunday. There’s just too much to do for one day. If you do something, you’ll miss the races, and if you watch the races, you’ll miss the stuff to do.
