I actually saw this nutcase on Fox on a TV somewhere last week in Houston—not surprisingly, though it might've been channel surfing on my part—and I'm kicking myself for missing the man in intelligent designer genes say that if not God, then outboard motor-bacterial flagella and us could be the handiwork of "space aliens or time travelers or something strange." Science classes like this, and I just might change my mind on the subject.

That I'd even have a "Summer of Ultima V" to look back upon I guess warranted a gander at the fan-made Dungeon Seige mod. But to collect another 70 Stop-Time scrolls (which a developer confirmed no longer work on the Shadowlords, anyway), and if even GTA & Ico sequels and WoW weren't enough to pry me from FFXI, I'd have to be IP-less on a week-long business trip. January 9-13, 2006: week-long business trip.

Years ago I stayed up one night watching a 60's heist flick called Gambit, otherwise unremarkable if not for me remembering, after all this time, a young and lithe Shirley Maclaine snaking into a tight space to steal an objet d'art; surely this lingering lust would resurface decades later during Entrapment's own chef d'oeuvre moment of altruistic explosion.

And while I contemplate this, supporters of clemency for Tookie Williams pray that humanity own up to its life and death decisions. See, this is (else)where I part ways with the liberal agenda; the system may indeed be slanted against convicts of color, but what elevates them above their victims? BTW, Snoop's also done promo work for Girls Gone Wild.

Thought that last one was good? Brave Archer 3 has this to say:

Part three of the famous four-part epic.  Renowned film
director Chang Cheh returns for a third time with Ti Lung,
Alexander Fu Sheng and a stellar supporting cast in The
Brave Archer 3 to create a far-out martial arts spectacle
that rivals its two predecessors, a rarity in any film industry.
Chang's heroes live for death while encapsulating themselves
within their own world, but at the right time, will
altruistically explode.  That's what makes this film a blast.

I wonder if that's a veiled reference to the domestic title? And to explode altruistically, surely that's no rarity—in the porn industry. But as much as I prefer Chang's original stories (not that it'd improve things, but there's no archery, either), I do think these are the ultimate in presentation of his work: the picture re-mastered with the English-language voice track intact. They even inserted subtitled additional scenes!

Had this dream last night that one of the "new carnivore species" discovered in Borneo climbed into the back of the car, approached me with the small head of a black cat, and I fumbled to take even a low-res snapshot of it with my cameraphone. The tight-fitting leather case was off-centered, as it was prone to get on the SonyEricsson, and covered the lens on the back.

Cold weather saps my will to do much of anything, leave the house, get up, live.

Fucking Chipotle raises the price of my lunch 67¢ just after I brag about it being two bucks cheaper here than what Ron pays in Houston.

Okay, okay, here's something mildly amusing (so you don't think this is the year I off myself during the holidays): I found this movie for cheap—I swear, it was even cheaper when I ordered it; they are like Fry's—and the entirity of the nondescript description on the back reads, I kid you not, "BRAVE ARCHER 2 continues the story begun in BRAVE ARCHER and plays as a middle chapter in a continuing serial. It launches into a fast-paced recap of the events from the first film, going so far as to finish with incidents that happened after the end of the first film but before the start of the second."
