Deadpan is the motherfucking American/Canadian/English/Congonese/Thai, etc Way
Wait…is it Tuesday already?
Fuckashitpiss! Show changeover happened at a reasonable hour and I still missed getting the first comment.
Even worse for GMT.
Hey, who scheduled the election on a Tuesday, anyway? Don’t those people know that Tuesday is reserved for Deadpan?
Sheesh!
What Ed said. This election is too gross. Glad it will be done soon. 😉
This is something that Ed, ditto, and I can all agree on. End! Now!
The final airport I was supposed to work at this year was between Phoenix and Boston. Phoenix started out promising, then stopped talking to us, then Boston fell out of the race for obvious reasons. My next airport trip won’t be until next year.
Yeah, a new Deadpan
Yean, an unshow (means on extra week until we reach the evil show number)
We don’t use computers here. We’re very old school with the mark an X in a box with a pencil (really, not kidding)
You also have 1/10 of the population.
Same thing happened in Colorado but it switched Romney to Obama. I dont believe ANY of this early hype potential excuse bullshit yet.
Draino didn’t work :angry: I’ll have to sneak out and get a plunger once I have a car again. Hopefully that will fix it. I don’t want to call a plumber, I don’t need another giant expense this month.
So the garage called and I have a leaky oil pan. They want to keep the car over night. *sigh*
Ok. My day is getting better. Yesterday I wanted to make a purchase but my card wouldn’t work. Just spoke to the nice lady on the phone and she said the chip is corrupted. I have to go into a branch and get a new card. How can I go to the bank when I don’t have a car?
Can I give today a do over?
I think I’m going to have some ice cream. I deserve it
Did any of you catch last night’s Castle? We watched it this afternoon. 125% on the geekgasm scale. So much cameo, Firefly, Trek, cons in general and other sci-fi geekiness win.
Frakes has gotten old, but then again, I guess I have, too.
I am watching it right now and I concur, Ed… it is a Frackin’ Awesome episode; even if you have never seen Castle, watch this episode.
Its geeky giggly fun.
We just finished watching it. Frakes also directed
Why dont I see Frakes on the show? Who did he play? I cant find the credit for him on IMDB?
Go back to the book signing scene.
And yes, he directed the episode also. The circle is complete.
OK, if Disney were to pull something like this off, well, we’d just have to invent a word to indicate better than awesome
More importantly – It seems Maryland has legalized same-sex marriage and Colorado has legalized marijuana. This is great news for equality and economics.
Yikes, but there’s a lot of bitterness on FB. . .
Yes because people hate fags and fucking stoners…
Idiots.
I’ve been finding that FB and other types of “outcries by the masses” don’t seem to really represent the masses. For example, in my County in Florida, I have seen NOTHING but “Fire Obama” and “Romney/Ryan” signs on every lawn, intersection, bumper sticker, etc. to the point where I assumed Romney would take this county with an incredible margin. In fact, he took the county 52% TO 46%. That 46% was more or less silent and the “outcry of the masses” at the disapproval of Obama simply boils down to people with certain political bents being more vocal than others.
Its like me. I shout really loud but ultimately have nothing real to say!
Washington state has also legalized marijuana. I’ve been waiting for someone to do this not so much because I want to see it legalized, but because I want to witness one of the greatest state/federal fights that I’ll probably ever get to see. The federal government still considers marijuana illegal, so in Colorado and Washington they can now arrest and prosecute people for something that is entirely legal according to that state. Can’t wait to see what that leads to.
I agree with you on this! It just seems such a simple idea for a fucked up economy. The amount of money that could be generated and given to education (especially in THIS state) would just be outstanding. Of course I know people scream that schools shouldnt be given “blood money”. These are also the same people that take a giant swig of their Budweiser without thinking twice about where beer tax money goes.
I’m relieved.
Obama has made a lot of Bush-like mistakes, but he’s also done a lot of things right. Science and social equalities that were hopelessly damaged during the Bush years have at least begun healing, on his watch. We have programs under way that were created to (whatever their version 1.0 imperfections) to benefit the underprivileged and the needy – – programs that need to be nurtured and tweaked and developed, rather than shut down with sneers and backassward regressive policies. The guy hasn’t been perfect, but he’s proven himself to be someone who’s interested in doing what’s right – – for all peoples.
Romney, on the other hand, has shown himself to be a near sociopathic elitist. He represents none of the noble ideals of my grandfather’s Republican party. He is the classic flip-flopping corporate weasel, who openly stated his contempt for all of us who don’t have the fortunes he was born into, his disrespect for equality, for science, for the truth, for anything that doesn’t feed into expanding the profits of the wealthy. And let’s not even get into the warmongering at which he’d hinted. He wouldn’t have been as horrifically corrupt and evil as Bush, but he’d have been too close for comfort.
Maybe next time, the Republicans will present a candidate with legitimate intent to curb spending and tax increases, to actually build jobs and economies to build up the lower and middle classes as well as the wealthy, to prioritize science and access to good education for all. Alternatively, they could give is another FoxNews-approved extremist crackpot with a greasy sidekick; then we’ll be congratulating Hillary Clinton in 2016.
But of course, for those that are really pissed about Obama winning a 2nd term, rest assured that the obstructionist Congress will continue to block everything he tries to do anyway.
/End speech.
I have to say that the only thing I’ve been disappointing with this time around was the poor showing of independent candidates. This was the first time that I went looking for independents and didn’t find a hodgepodge of crackpots (not counting Rosanne Barre). There were some pretty impressive people out there this year that just weren’t getting any attention.
And on more important matters – – holy crap, the Deadpan birthdays keep a-rollin! Happy birthday, LostRalph!
I’m sure Cj will be keeping him entertained.
Happy Birthday LostRalph.

Happy birthday FoundRalph!
Weird. Where did my comment go?
Well, happy birthday Ralph!
Beer beer beer beer
Hope you have a great day Ralph!

Happy Birthday, Ralph!
Usedhair, have you checked out Democracy Now? There was wide coverage there of 3rd party candidates for the entire election cycle.
For me, I’m mostly just glad the election is over. There have been some ugly things flying for months.
Have a super day LR!
Morning Pan.
I have a working washroom again. Now all I need is a working car and a working debit card and all will be right with the world again
I have a dentist appointment this afternoon. If I don’t have a car by then, I’ll have to get my Boo to drive me for a change
Happy Birthday, LoatRalph.

My Doh! Moment this week is a techy one.
Just realised that not only will XBMC play video files, it will also act as a DNLA server and stream videos to my consoles,

Even more dumb as I bought power line adapters to give the Pi a Internet connection downstairs when I didn’t have to move it at all.
I don’t know if you signed up for Netflix TEB, but that extension will work from Canada as well.
Since today is being Ralph-themed…
The Nov. 9th Entertainment Weekly Magazine has a fun article about how Wreck-It Ralph was conceived and about the challenges they faced on getting permission to use all of the famous arcade characters. Check it out, if you can.
I still don’t have a car. My Boo is going to take me to the dentist later today. I’m not a happy camper.
I wish I would have gone to the school where they teach u2bgay. Darn.
Also, I feel like puking.
Here’s something strange. I live in Canada. Gay marriage has been legal here for many years. Yet, somehow, it hasn’t affected my marriage at all. Is that weird, or what?
Now that will make me puke. I experienced some of live today at a Dr.’s office. People are ignorant.
I didn’t have to deal with any social issue craziness today, but my boss was on a bender from hell about the impending financial collapse worse than any this country has seen before that is now imminent and how Obama won by using the same class warfare tactics that Hitler used to gain power and by purchasing the votes of the uneducated immigrants and the lazy “gimme” youth. Most of my retorts were “seriously? You believe this?” I have to say that I find the economic bigots just about as distasteful as the social bigots.
We have an Ismaili mayor. Personally, I think he’s the best we’ve had in years.
I was naively hoping bigotry would die out in the next few generations. Boy am I a stupid Polok. (and I am)

Off to the dentist. Then hubby will pick me up and we’ll finally get my car.
It’s comforting that whichever side of an issue you fall on, you’ll still find a proportional number of asshats.

I see the snow has started already. They are saying 20cm (8″)in the next 24 hours. Bleh
It probably won’t snow here until Sunday since I have to drive to the airport early Monday.
Hubby has tomorrow off, but I work. I have Monday off, but hubby works. Some day our two work places will be in sync.
I have a legitimate reason to read an article called “Attempts to train Novices for Beer Flavor Discrimination: A Matter of Taste” at work. I’m all a twitter. If only I could have found a way to be a participant in the study way back when I was a novice.
How does one get a gig like yours?
One goes to graduate school for cognitive psychology, spends a crappy few years with Lockheed Martin doing crap work and then wind up with a dream job as a “Research Associate” where I get to design and conduct psychology experiments for cool customers like The Department of Homeland Security, Dell, Proctor & Gamble, etc. I love my job.
Why are you fraternising with us again?
What?
Are you implying that I’m trying to conduct psychological experiments with deadpanites? If so, I assure you that I am not that subtle or that clever by half.
Sounds a lot more interesting than the stuff I have to read.
It occurred to me I haven’t eaten yet. So, in an effort to give my bladder something to think about, I made some soup to eat and green tea to drink. Yum.
At school the Physic teacher(Mr Parkin) arranged the class to visit Newcastle University’s computer department which was putting on a exhibition celebrating Newcastle being on the map for 900 years.
This was 1980, locked behind a glass cabinet was a ZX80 computer, controlling a robotic arm that was assembling then disassembling a pile of metal blocks.
However only give this a cursory look as I was distracted by somebody playing a Lunar Lander clone on a CBM Pet….
I found the first part more interesting. The 2nd part jumped around too much. It should have been divided into more objects.
I think they were inspired by the BBC’s A History of the World in 100 objects.
So, I was talking to this woman recently. . . nice woman, pleasant looking. My internal dialogue:
“Who does this woman remind me of? Someone famous. . . Hmmm. . . That’s it – – it’s Eddie Izzard! She’s looks like a young Eddie Izzard, that’s – – Oh my god.”
Silly me. I somehow assumed that if fanfic was published and money was made off of it, it became copy write infringement and illegal. Guess someone found a way around that or the original author just plain doesn’t give a shit.
I’m assuming the names were changed and other things. Just enough for it to be it’s own. Of course, I have no intention of reading the book to find out.
The other thing I noticed from the articl was 50 Shade of Grey has been optioned for a movie. Really?
PG-13?
PG! G for Grey, of course.
*cough*
Pretty much every successful book gets optioned, though many don’t get made into a movie. It’s just a way for Hollywood to keep their “options” open. 😉 Besides, from a studio point of view, the cost of the option is better than the risk of loosing a good opportunity.
You’re assuming they didn’t get permission and didn’t work out some sort of deal. Since they are being upfront that it was originally Twilight fanfic, I’m assuming S&S lawyers took care of that.
I agree. The author in this case was probably cut in on the deal.
A Firefly Reunion ‘conversation’ panel will air on TV on Sunday night.

Will Fillion and Tudyk going to be there or are they gonna call in again and harass the other panelists? 🙂
The Serenity sequel shall be called “50 Shades of Brown”.
Er… that sounded better in my head.
That would be in your head!
And now it’s in yours. 😉

Hmmm. Sounds like a pachinko machine.

This looks fun! I read this book and give it a “better than most crap” rating:
Made my preorder for the “A Memory of Light” audio book. Releases on January 8th, 2013. I’m nearing the end of book five now, so I know I won’t be caught up when it comes out. I may just have to lock myself away for the month of December to try to get all those other books squeezed in.
I got the email about that today, Ed, and thought of you! I pre-ordered the doorstop version from amazon a month or so ago.
Can it actually be over??
Ask Paul Young…
First two episodes of Blood and Chrome can be watched here:
Helluva day. Ice Skating lessons for the girl-child, an ASU space science event, and Wreck-It Ralph.
The movie is everything Ed promised and more.
Goodnight :#@%*&!:
Sounds like a pretty perfect Saturday.
Sweet!
Hey Deadpan
Saw Skyfall yesterday. It was a fun, leave your brain at the door, popcorn flik. In others words, a Bond Film.
I liked the occasional nods they gave to the Sean Connery area.
I only had one little nit. John days is’s a Bunny issue as nobody else would think of things that way. *shrug*. He’s probably right
What was the nit? (Other than hydrogen cyanide not burning)
Won’t say. Too spoilery
We also tented the new Spider-Man yesterday. I admit, I was not a big fan of the whole reboot idea so close to the last movies. And I wasn’t sure about seeing the origin story again, but this film was ok. It was just different enough that it didn’t feel like a total rehash
Today hubby has a play date so, after lunch, I might do a PBP. Don’t know what movies I have on tap so it’ll be a surprise for all
Oh wait. I do remember one movie I have recorded but I think I’ll spare you all that which is Mulroney, the Musical. It probably wouldn’t make sense if you don’t understand Canadian politics anyway.
We will have to see what else is on my DVR later
I’m aware that Brian Mulroney is a former PM. I admit that I probably never would have heard of him if I didn’t listen to music by the band Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie, though… :biggrin:
It’s chilly here in Omaha this morning. There was frost on the little footbridge outside my apartment building. I’m glad I have my new raspberry-red L.L. Bean winter coat (an early Christmas present from my mom). :happy:
But now… Time to get some groceries
And in the “Why did they bother department?”
Dark Star is now available on Blu-Ray.
It’s so you can see the wheels on the elevator..
In half an hour or is, I’ll start my play by play. There are two movies I’m deciding between.
CD: eating a “fun size” Snickers bar. Wondering how long it takes it to bring the fun.
Oh yeah. I have some smarties on the table. Too bad I have a kitty on my lap so I can’t get up to get them
Well Pan. Hubby has left for his play date so, it’s movie time.
Personally, I’m zombied out so today’s movie is, Kill Katie Malone
He DVR wrie up: Dean Cain stars in this supernatural shocked about three college friends who buy a ghost on line auction as a lark, only to realize its no joke when the evil apparition, the vengeful spigot od an Irish servant girl, reveals her deadly intentions
There was actually a time when hubby and I would go out of our way to see anything Dean Cain was in. They were all terrible B movies but they were oh so wonderful in their B-ness
Violence, coarse language and sexuality. No nudity? Hmmmm.

My trip to Dallas tomorrow was suddenly canceled by the big boss. Kind of curious, but mostly I’m relieved I don’t have to make it to the airport at the crack of dawn.
Go Broncos.
Also, hi!
Broncos did!
Holy crap good for you not having to go!!
Van, I had to turn on my computer for other reasons so I sent you an email. As I said, it’s a personal view so not very exciting. Personally, I find it best not to over analyze Bond movies as they will inevitably fail. That includes the hydrogen cyanide bit.
Ta TEB, wasn’t too bothered about that bit, just the HCN that threw me for a bit if a curve.
But I agree, fun movie

Morning Pan
Hubby and I both forgot to set our alarms this morning. An extra hour of sleep is nice but waking up and feeling rushed is not.
I watched the second half of the Firefly reunion last night (missed the first half before I realized it was on). My only disappointment was that I didn’t see Ron Glass there. I was so excited to see him on the show, then he disappeared right back into obscurity again.
Tickets purchased for today’s matinée showing of “Wreck it Ralph”.
Sigh, think I’mgoing to to be the last one to get to see this movie
I won’t see it until it comes out for rental Van.
Morning Pan,
I got up early this morning to see the ISS pass over my house. Pretty cool.
CP (Currently Pondering) – given the results of the last referendum held in Colorado … I’m wondering if the next mmmmmmeet-up should be held there.
Just thinking.
While I personally am open to moving the mmmmeetup around. The good thing about Arizona is there are so many deadpanites there that it’s easy to find places to crash.
Heh. Come on over, m’dear!
^!
You don’t want me crashing on you, I might demolish your house.
My house is well-built, Van, and you’re welcome any time!
Funny, this very topic has already come up. I am very down with a Colorado mmmmmmmeetup.

Also, according to FB, ditto’s birthday is today. So happy birthday, eh!
I think I’m going to do something very ambitious and clean out my fridge. I haven’t done that in a while.
Happy, happy, joy, joy Ditto!
ditto! Happy Birthday!
hmmmm. Jack asked for some contents of… I wonder if I can record the contents of what I’m tossing from my fridge. Do I even know where my net book is any more to record on?
Didn’t need the netbook. My phone did the job nicely.
Actually, my fridge wasn’t that bad.
Go figure
Now to clean the kitty litter. Excitement is my life
So far today I’ve cleaned the fridge (inside and out), changed the kitty litter, cleaned the kitchen floor, and took the garbage out. Now it’s time for a pomegranate break. I deserve it.

Not sure about sexing up Cortana though.
Time for bed.
The relevant words in this post being:
“gets off” “good” “sexing up Cortana”
and
“bed”

^Not about politics.
Did any of you catch last night’s Castle? We watched it this afternoon. 125% on the geekgasm scale. So much cameo, Firefly, Trek, cons in general and other sci-fi geekiness win.
Frakes has gotten old, but then again, I guess I have, too.
I am watching it right now and I concur, Ed… it is a Frackin’ Awesome episode; even if you have never seen Castle, watch this episode.
Its geeky giggly fun.
We just finished watching it. Frakes also directed
Why dont I see Frakes on the show? Who did he play? I cant find the credit for him on IMDB?
Go back to the book signing scene.
And yes, he directed the episode also. The circle is complete.
OK, if Disney were to pull something like this off, well, we’d just have to invent a word to indicate better than awesome
http://img2-2.timeinc.net/ew/i/2012/10/31/StarWars_1.jpg
And it’s done.
Thank christ. Just that its done.
More importantly – It seems Maryland has legalized same-sex marriage and Colorado has legalized marijuana. This is great news for equality and economics.
Yikes, but there’s a lot of bitterness on FB. . .
Yes because people hate fags and fucking stoners…
Idiots.
I’ve been finding that FB and other types of “outcries by the masses” don’t seem to really represent the masses. For example, in my County in Florida, I have seen NOTHING but “Fire Obama” and “Romney/Ryan” signs on every lawn, intersection, bumper sticker, etc. to the point where I assumed Romney would take this county with an incredible margin. In fact, he took the county 52% TO 46%. That 46% was more or less silent and the “outcry of the masses” at the disapproval of Obama simply boils down to people with certain political bents being more vocal than others.
Its like me. I shout really loud but ultimately have nothing real to say!
Washington state has also legalized marijuana. I’ve been waiting for someone to do this not so much because I want to see it legalized, but because I want to witness one of the greatest state/federal fights that I’ll probably ever get to see. The federal government still considers marijuana illegal, so in Colorado and Washington they can now arrest and prosecute people for something that is entirely legal according to that state. Can’t wait to see what that leads to.
I agree with you on this! It just seems such a simple idea for a fucked up economy. The amount of money that could be generated and given to education (especially in THIS state) would just be outstanding. Of course I know people scream that schools shouldnt be given “blood money”. These are also the same people that take a giant swig of their Budweiser without thinking twice about where beer tax money goes.
Really enjoyed one of Lighspeed’s recent stories:

I love you.
Not-so-brief speech:
I’m relieved.
Obama has made a lot of Bush-like mistakes, but he’s also done a lot of things right. Science and social equalities that were hopelessly damaged during the Bush years have at least begun healing, on his watch. We have programs under way that were created to (whatever their version 1.0 imperfections) to benefit the underprivileged and the needy – – programs that need to be nurtured and tweaked and developed, rather than shut down with sneers and backassward regressive policies. The guy hasn’t been perfect, but he’s proven himself to be someone who’s interested in doing what’s right – – for all peoples.
Romney, on the other hand, has shown himself to be a near sociopathic elitist. He represents none of the noble ideals of my grandfather’s Republican party. He is the classic flip-flopping corporate weasel, who openly stated his contempt for all of us who don’t have the fortunes he was born into, his disrespect for equality, for science, for the truth, for anything that doesn’t feed into expanding the profits of the wealthy. And let’s not even get into the warmongering at which he’d hinted. He wouldn’t have been as horrifically corrupt and evil as Bush, but he’d have been too close for comfort.
Maybe next time, the Republicans will present a candidate with legitimate intent to curb spending and tax increases, to actually build jobs and economies to build up the lower and middle classes as well as the wealthy, to prioritize science and access to good education for all. Alternatively, they could give is another FoxNews-approved extremist crackpot with a greasy sidekick; then we’ll be congratulating Hillary Clinton in 2016.
But of course, for those that are really pissed about Obama winning a 2nd term, rest assured that the obstructionist Congress will continue to block everything he tries to do anyway.
/End speech.
I have to say that the only thing I’ve been disappointing with this time around was the poor showing of independent candidates. This was the first time that I went looking for independents and didn’t find a hodgepodge of crackpots (not counting Rosanne Barre). There were some pretty impressive people out there this year that just weren’t getting any attention.
And on more important matters – – holy crap, the Deadpan birthdays keep a-rollin! Happy birthday, LostRalph!

I didn’t have to deal with any social issue craziness today, but my boss was on a bender from hell about the impending financial collapse worse than any this country has seen before that is now imminent and how Obama won by using the same class warfare tactics that Hitler used to gain power and by purchasing the votes of the uneducated immigrants and the lazy “gimme” youth. Most of my retorts were “seriously? You believe this?” I have to say that I find the economic bigots just about as distasteful as the social bigots.

I have a legitimate reason to read an article called “Attempts to train Novices for Beer Flavor Discrimination: A Matter of Taste” at work. I’m all a twitter. If only I could have found a way to be a participant in the study way back when I was a novice.
How does one get a gig like yours?
One goes to graduate school for cognitive psychology, spends a crappy few years with Lockheed Martin doing crap work and then wind up with a dream job as a “Research Associate” where I get to design and conduct psychology experiments for cool customers like The Department of Homeland Security, Dell, Proctor & Gamble, etc. I love my job.
Why are you fraternising with us again?
What?
Are you implying that I’m trying to conduct psychological experiments with deadpanites? If so, I assure you that I am not that subtle or that clever by half.
Sounds a lot more interesting than the stuff I have to read.

At school the Physic teacher(Mr Parkin) arranged the class to visit Newcastle University’s computer department which was putting on a exhibition celebrating Newcastle being on the map for 900 years.

Ok, what happened to my post?
*sigh*. Too lazy to fix it. You can figure it out yourselves
Oh God http://www.themarysue.com/twilight-fanfic-book-deal/
Silly me. I somehow assumed that if fanfic was published and money was made off of it, it became copy write infringement and illegal. Guess someone found a way around that or the original author just plain doesn’t give a shit.
I’m assuming the names were changed and other things. Just enough for it to be it’s own. Of course, I have no intention of reading the book to find out.
The other thing I noticed from the articl was 50 Shade of Grey has been optioned for a movie. Really?
PG-13?
PG! G for Grey, of course.
*cough*
Pretty much every successful book gets optioned, though many don’t get made into a movie. It’s just a way for Hollywood to keep their “options” open. 😉 Besides, from a studio point of view, the cost of the option is better than the risk of loosing a good opportunity.
You’re assuming they didn’t get permission and didn’t work out some sort of deal. Since they are being upfront that it was originally Twilight fanfic, I’m assuming S&S lawyers took care of that.
I agree. The author in this case was probably cut in on the deal.

Hey Deadpan
Saw Skyfall yesterday. It was a fun, leave your brain at the door, popcorn flik. In others words, a Bond Film.
I liked the occasional nods they gave to the Sean Connery area.
I only had one little nit. John days is’s a Bunny issue as nobody else would think of things that way. *shrug*. He’s probably right
What was the nit? (Other than hydrogen cyanide not burning)
Won’t say. Too spoilery
We also tented the new Spider-Man yesterday. I admit, I was not a big fan of the whole reboot idea so close to the last movies. And I wasn’t sure about seeing the origin story again, but this film was ok. It was just different enough that it didn’t feel like a total rehash
Today hubby has a play date so, after lunch, I might do a PBP. Don’t know what movies I have on tap so it’ll be a surprise for all
Oh wait. I do remember one movie I have recorded but I think I’ll spare you all that which is Mulroney, the Musical. It probably wouldn’t make sense if you don’t understand Canadian politics anyway.
We will have to see what else is on my DVR later
I’m aware that Brian Mulroney is a former PM. I admit that I probably never would have heard of him if I didn’t listen to music by the band Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie, though… :biggrin:
It’s chilly here in Omaha this morning. There was frost on the little footbridge outside my apartment building. I’m glad I have my new raspberry-red L.L. Bean winter coat (an early Christmas present from my mom). :happy:
But now… Time to get some groceries
And in the “Why did they bother department?”
Dark Star is now available on Blu-Ray.
It’s so you can see the wheels on the elevator..
In half an hour or is, I’ll start my play by play. There are two movies I’m deciding between.
A little bit zombie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1912982/
Or Kill Katie Malone
Sigh. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1523485/
CD: eating a “fun size” Snickers bar. Wondering how long it takes it to bring the fun.
Oh yeah. I have some smarties on the table. Too bad I have a kitty on my lap so I can’t get up to get them
Well Pan. Hubby has left for his play date so, it’s movie time.
Personally, I’m zombied out so today’s movie is, Kill Katie Malone
He DVR wrie up: Dean Cain stars in this supernatural shocked about three college friends who buy a ghost on line auction as a lark, only to realize its no joke when the evil apparition, the vengeful spigot od an Irish servant girl, reveals her deadly intentions
There was actually a time when hubby and I would go out of our way to see anything Dean Cain was in. They were all terrible B movies but they were oh so wonderful in their B-ness

I’m telling you, FBers, you gotta follow Jonathan Carroll.
Morning Pan
Hubby and I both forgot to set our alarms this morning. An extra hour of sleep is nice but waking up and feeling rushed is not.
I watched the second half of the Firefly reunion last night (missed the first half before I realized it was on). My only disappointment was that I didn’t see Ron Glass there. I was so excited to see him on the show, then he disappeared right back into obscurity again.
Tickets purchased for today’s matinée showing of “Wreck it Ralph”.
Sigh, think I’mgoing to to be the last one to get to see this movie
I won’t see it until it comes out for rental Van.
Morning Pan,
I got up early this morning to see the ISS pass over my house. Pretty cool.
CP (Currently Pondering) – given the results of the last referendum held in Colorado … I’m wondering if the next mmmmmmeet-up should be held there.
Just thinking.
While I personally am open to moving the mmmmeetup around. The good thing about Arizona is there are so many deadpanites there that it’s easy to find places to crash.
Heh. Come on over, m’dear!
^!
You don’t want me crashing on you, I might demolish your house.
My house is well-built, Van, and you’re welcome any time!
Funny, this very topic has already come up. I am very down with a Colorado mmmmmmmeetup.
*bats eyelashes*
Come hither?
Also, according to FB, ditto’s birthday is today. So happy birthday, eh!
I think I’m going to do something very ambitious and clean out my fridge. I haven’t done that in a while.
Happy, happy, joy, joy Ditto!
ditto! Happy Birthday!
hmmmm. Jack asked for some contents of… I wonder if I can record the contents of what I’m tossing from my fridge. Do I even know where my net book is any more to record on?
Didn’t need the netbook. My phone did the job nicely.
Actually, my fridge wasn’t that bad.
Go figure
Now to clean the kitty litter. Excitement is my life
So far today I’ve cleaned the fridge (inside and out), changed the kitty litter, cleaned the kitchen floor, and took the garbage out. Now it’s time for a pomegranate break. I deserve it.
My kitty’s not happy. She figures I should be eating something she would lik too. Pomegranates aren’t it

One problem with working from home and having the slow cooker going. The smell is making me hungry!
F you, crappy Monday workday from Hell
Hi Pan. Enjoy *your* Monday
*hugs*
I like ditto.
He should have a good birthday.
Back from “Wreck it Ralph”.
Was that actually a video game?
I only recognized 2 of the video games that were alluded to.
Still, a fun movie.
At the time no, but you can download the game ‘Fix it Felix Jnr’ for you iOS device from the app store.
It’s basically a play on Donkey Kong.
Fix it Felix is a cross between Donkey Kong and Rampage.
And “Crazy Climber”.

Yes, I told my kids the same thing. It also reminds me of Wrecking Crew for the NES, but that’s a bit obscure.
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
And ditto on the happy birthday wishes!

Actually that’s a bit cynical, this one is based on a book by Laurence Rees:
