I am too lazy to sort
You see that Southern Comfort commercial — the one with the guy getting his hair washed? Did you hear the song? Yeah. It’s the one you’re playing now. It’s called ‘The Beat’ by some guy named Lou Johnson. Sounds familiar? Of course, it’s the sample for De La Soul’s ‘Ring, Ring, Ring.’ Even the middle part. Funky right? Pure and funky!
Why’d I put a link of the day that doesn’t resolve to anything of use? It’s a farewell to a faithful old friend. It’s perhaps the only software I use on a daily basis. More so than Twitter, because I don’t really tweet from work. I do read RSS and it was Google Reader. Now, it’s gone, and it’s time to find something new. Sayanora good buddy. May the bit bucket treat you well.
Last day to be reading RSS feeds on Google Reader. I will sorely miss it. Not sure what will replace it for me. I’ve seen Feedly. I haven’t seen today’s link’s subject of the story, Digg Reader. I may try it out, but being lazy I may end up struggling for the next week. Where will I read my news now?
I’m gonna have to find a new browser. There will be no more Camino development. What am I going to use on the TiBook? I need a somewhat modern browser for Leopard. Camino was it. Now it is done. Relegated to the bit bucket in the sky. Maybe I should start using Safari more.
Let my people go surfing!
The Dominican Republic.
One of the nearest islands to the East Coast. Something to remember when it’s winter time.
Is this a trap? Or can you fall in love with this guitar player? I’m going have to go with female according to her blog. Of course, this doesn’t stop her from being a he.
I am so confused.
But whatever. She rocks. He rocks. I mean that’s awesome.
Dear Kami-sama, can we get a third season of Haruhi?
Did Zach Snyder out Nolan Christopher Nolan with Man Of Steel? I think yes.
Man Of Steel was a dark tale, because of the Snyder pulling a page from the Christopher Nolan superhero playbook, by treating superheroes, Superman in this case, as if they never wore tights. I call it dark the movie put the superheroes in reality. Plus Zod was pretty nihilistic and lots of peopled died.
Because he followed Nolan’s pattern, Snyder didn’t come across as Snyder. Not many slow-fast-slow fights. There are still lots of fighting but Snyder’s trademark stop-motion does not appear in the film. He just let them fight. And Snyder likes to film them hand-to-hand. I always liked the train fight in Sucker Punch. In this film, Snyder made all his fights like the train fight.
And like any Nolan film, there are plot points and holes which make some aspects of the movie seem senseless. Deus ex machina comes into play just for the sake of things. At least, though, the fights were coherent.
One thing about DC movies lately, they aren’t full of tights.
4 of 5 stars.
How much you like This Is the End will depend on how much you like the actors ‘acting’ in the film. They play themselves so if you have any problems with Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, or James Franco, they may change how you perceive the film. Me? I sort of like them, so the movie wasn’t bad at all. Yet, I always find that they produce halfly funny movies. So this movie was just slightly funny to me. From the crazy red band trailers and the premise, I expected to fall out of my chair. I didn’t, but I think it was because of my bias.
I wanted a “Something About Mary” laugh riot. I got a “40 Year Old Virgin” laugh melee. My expectations were too high? Perhaps. But did you see those red band trailers?
I think you shouldn’t miss this movie though you can wait for it to repeat on Comedy Central in 16 months. But in the meantime you’ll be missing some funny stuff. You’ll miss Michael Cera stealing every scene he was in. You’ll miss Emma Watson being brave. You’ll miss James Franco full of it. You’ll miss Danny McBride being the asshole you always thought he was. You’ll miss demon dicks and tons of homoerotic bro-dom going down.
If you can wait, wait, but if you can’t I think it is worth the Sunday matinee price.
3 of 5 stars.
B-E-A… repeat

I think I can get behind using surf breaks as a naming convention. Waimea. Rincon. Trés Palmas. Hossegor. There’s plenty to pick from. It’s endless. And there are still some breaks being found and ridden.
