Best lines (which is all of them) from that great 90s sitcom
Quote of the Day [9.05.13]
“And then what did he do? Did he train you? Did he rehearse you? Did he tell you exactly what to do, what to say? You were a very apt pupil too, weren’t you? You were a very apt pupil! Well, why did you pick on me? Why me?”

The War on Fat: Dog days of August.
It goes up this time of year. If I was losing ground the previous month, then I’m giving up gains this past month. It’s what happens.
Basically, I just felt like eating.
Also, I spent the month offline not working out to let my elbow heal.
It’s time to return to some serious work. Can I really get down under 200 pounds by the end of the year? Not sure. It’s going to have to be salad and yogurt or some kind of diet to get me going. And I just lowered the bar!

Look at the birds in the sky: They do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them.

Closed Circuit
I think I’m the only person living in America wanting to go see Closed Circuit. It’s because I’ve got the hots for Rebecca Hall. So, I tricked my mom to catch an early Saturday show. It bored the hell of her. I was too busy looking at the beauty on the screen to see that it was really a average pot boiler.
The film’s plot is about 2 English barristers (they wear wigs!) who have to defend an accused terrorist. Eric Bana is the terrorist’s main lawyer who gets the job after the original defender jumped from a building. Rebecca Hall is the terrorist’s special activist for the top secret trial. Both have a sordid history in the past which may conflict with their sworn duty, and both have to defend themselves from a higher power keeping them from unravelling the true mystery of the terrorist bombing.
The film plays out as you expect it. “Trust no one.” When terrorism is on trial, question all motives from the terrorist to the prosecution. Every one is under suspicion.
The movie even though boring at times is thoroughly adequate for a late summer/September release. You’ll forget about it by the time the leaves change color. You’ll remember it when it comes time to think about Rebecca Hall.
3 of 5 stars.
This video is awesome. Sure was a fun season. Let’s keep it going.
Wow. Just wow.
I bought my first Orioles season tickets for the 2010 season believing that good times were coming. It didn’t turn out that way. The Orioles started bad and continued bad in 2010. They switched out the manager twice. So long Dave Trembley, hello Buck Showalter and his pod people Orioles. They played well to end the season and to give hope for 2011.
I, too, still had hope, so I bought season tickets for 2011. That season started well, then June hit and it turned awful fast. But the Orioles did finish out relatively strong. And it did give us #theLegendOfBobbyAndy Game 162. That stoppage of the dreaded Boston Red Sox gave us hope for 2012.
Once more, I go all in for the Orioles and get season tickets for 2012. This time not too hopeful. The Orioles started out strong sweeping the opening series with the Twins but getting swept by the dreaded Yankees. It seemed we were destined to be terrible. Yet, they kept winning series by series, game by game. By the All-Star break they were competitive in the division although their Pythagoras Number was abysmal, more runs scored against them than they had against other teams.
Last night, they beat the Boston Red Sox and Pythagoras down to earn their 90th win of the season. It’s been a long time for the franchise to have a winning record. And finally, Baltimore has embraced this team’s run.
I used my final season ticket for this year last night with The Seed, and it was one of the best final series season I have seen. (I missed last year’s final tilt because Boston.) The crowd was electric and when Ryan Flaherty hit that first inning grand slam, the crowd erupted knowing that it was going to be a rocking night. Chris Tilman pitched a hell of a game so much so I didn’t know that it was a 1 hit affair. We were jumping and jumping until the final out.
We wanted fireworks, and we got them.
It was a very successful season. I don’t want it to end. I wish I had tickets for the rest of the weekend.
Thanks, Orioles, for the memories.
Oh, yeah! Generic playoff tickets. You gotta love that. Orioles playing whomever at whatever date the game will be played. And these are all so pricy. You should check out the World Series ticket. I cut off the prices, but don’t you know that they cost just as much as my season tickets.
I don’t know if the Orioles go, but we’re very optimistic here.

Madoka, the movie(s). Double feature in the US if you live in the places they’ll show it. Check out the website. I implore you to do it.
“Dude, you slapped a fish.”
Yeah, this is pretty hilarious.
For the first few times I watched this cover of my favorite K-ON!! song, I thought I was listening to Mio. Woah. Now I figured that it’s the girl playing the guitar who’s singing. I couldn’t figure it out because lots of these anime covers featuring a girl in a japanese school girl uniform end up being a guy in a japanese school girl uniform. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but damn, japanese guys with smooth lady-like legs is disturbing. Being slightly attracted to, even more disturbing.
Anyway. A for the cover. A++ for the exposed knee a lower thighs. A+++ for the singing; I thought it was Mio.
