Quote of the Day [4.20.11]

This girl I know needs some shelter
She don’t believe anyone can help her
She’s doing so much harm
She’s doing so much damage
But you don’t want to get involve
You tell her she can manage
You can’t change the way she feels
But you can put your arms around her

Massive Attack, “Protection”

Link of the Day [4.20.11]

Just bought one of these SSD drives from OWC. I’m using as my storage disk for music and photos. Or rather, I am planning to use it, but like the last hard drive I bought, I haven’t gone through the steps to break down both media libraries and transfer them to that drive.

Yup, it’s a network drive hanging off the Airport Express. I chose an SSD drive so that I don’t have to worry about spinning disc failure. I, also, want to connect it to Mobile Me and Back To My Mac so that I can access it from the road. Yet, I can’t really figure out how that all works. I have yet to successfully log onto my Mini from outside the house. I’m even having trouble with logging onto it via remote desktop while I am home.

All this network computing — it’s all ridiculous.

Outrun my gun

This flash video player has one of the worst embed HTML I’ve ever seen. Haven’t these vevo dudes taken a look at how YouTube does it? I mean, come on, what year are we in?

Mitts are moe

Moe Asakura Ryouko

She’s wearing oven mitts. The scene before she was bringing hotpot, nabe, to her neighbor to share. She left the pot there with the leftovers and is now on her way home. She’s trying to get our attention.

This is one of the moe-est scenes from The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. I completely find it awesome for the oven mitts. Who knew?

Oh, and Asakura Ryouko, she’s dangerous.

Midnight Smoking

Just hanging out waiting on things as they smoke em. Lost in all this is that we’re just in a parking lot after a bull roast. Maybe we could’ve done this in a safer position at a better time.

I’m done smoking.

Your Highness

Did I watch Your Highness or was I high and imagined it all?

I really did. Those days are behind me.

It’s not as bad as the reviews have made it out to be. It’s a spoof on sword and sorcery films from the 80s. James Franco was hilarious. The robot bird was funny too. Danny McBride is always good for a few chuckles. Rasmus Hardiker, the McBride’s squire, was funny as well perhaps the funniest of them all. Natalie Portman in another film was saddled with silliness, but it’s good that she talks non-serious roles. Wasn’t she the Oscar winner for Best Actress? Hunh?

Anyway, it’s not so bad. Get high and I bet it would be funnier. At least the lecherous puppet wizard was strange and funny.

3 of 5 stars.
