Anyway, I was thinking about some stuff today. I thought maybe some would find (or feign) interest; or feel free to add your own input, even if it's completely unrelated to my post. In no particular order:
So I watched
Night of the Living Dead '90 today. I still maintain that this Savini remake is actually superior to the Romero classic. Tony Todd works in the HNIC role, and still have an enduring hard-on for the super-cool & sexy (that's right, I said it) Patricia Tallman. Nitpicks I have are minimal: Cooper constantly screaming "YA BUNCHA YO-YOS!!!" was irritating, & everytime they show someone reloading a firearm, if you can see the bullets clearly, they are all missing the primers. They could have at least put
something where the primer should have been, so the cartridges wouldn't have OBVIOUSLY been dummies. But whatever. In other news, poor, little "Sarah Cooper":
grew up in a pretty delicious fashion:
It turns out that there is a distinct possibility that I may be getting laid-off from work at the end of April '09. Contract changes in the Air Force. Dipshits. I think that I might actually hate doing IT work. I only got into it cuz the paychecks are typically "adequate". I'd seriously consider changing careers if said new career offered a comparable salary. Meh.
The
JCVD thread got me thinking about
Bloodsport, which got me thinking about the awesomeness of Bolo motherfucking Yeung. I decided to do a google search on him, & found a
fansite. It appears, sadly, that time is finally catching up with the man:
Although, I guess we should all look so good at 70 years old, but still a shadow of his former "presence." Oh, & by the way:

HAWT!!! (/would annihilate) \/
My momz makes 'Chicken & Sausage Gumbo' like nobody's business. I'll be having it for lunch tomorrow (today technically).
For anyone who has read the book
World War Z (by Max Brooks), I have been planning to build the "Standard Infantry Entrenchment Tool" as an upcoming project (& addition to my apocalypse prep arsenal). Since there are no photos of the "Lobotomizer", I've MSPainted up a design from the description in the book: "
a heavy steel rod ending in what looks like a fusion of shovel and double-bladed battle-axe. Its official designation is the Standard Infantry Entrenchment Tool, although, to most, it is known as either the 'Lobotomizer,' or simply, the 'Lobo.'":
Those who have read the book (or anyone else for that matter), feel free to give me some input about the design. If your minds-eye-vision of the Lobo is different, then how so? (& why?) I might even incorporate suggested changes into the final piece.
So, I'm tired of typing now, imo.
Say hi to your mother for me.
