There are some things man is not meant to google....

I have to admit, I've got a soft spot for the sci-fi channels mini-series adaptions of Dune and Children of Dune.

A little wandering around on the argument of why a threesome is better as a fantasy then in reality...

Somethings put me in the mood to listen to my Music from the Succubus Club album..

It's the internet. There has to be cats..

Sliders started off as a great series. There were a lot of really fun ideas to it and the episodes, and the characters blended together quite nicely. But yes, unfortunately, as time went on things got a little.. weird and convoluted. And it all kind of fell apart.

Woke from some strange and vivid dreams about trying to find a psychotic professor in a Warhammer 40k university. A lil on the weird side. Now my day is feeling ever so slightly off-kilter as I drink tea and try to nudge my mind back onto poking at stakeholder requirements.

It did, until everyone had a camera in their cellphone....

I'd try and make a good chemistry joke. But all the best ones argon.

I have to say, I think a Good Day to Die Hard has to rate as the worst of the Die Hard movies so far. I mean, the opening and what turns into a half-hour extended chase sequence through Moscow traffic before the plot really gets rolling. A couple of over-noisy mass gunfights that pull along with fragments of angsty father-son dynamic. I mean, I know part of the Die Hard idea is John McClane in a certain "fish out of water" experience usually. Cynical Cop in a White Collar High Rise building, Cynical cop stuck on an airport, cynical cop being run-around by a mastermind, cynical cop struggling with the digital age... But cynical cop stuck in Moscow with a secret agent son just doesn't seem to get the traction. They don't seem to push the one-liners that provided some amusement, and (to potentially spoil it), they can't seem to make up their mind on who the villain is. And even then, it just..there is no real villainous presence to banter again. What's a Die Hard film without McClane vs Villain banter?

Note : Technically that bear does have a skin condition which caused the fur to fall out. No-one was crazy enough to actually shave it.. On to funnier things -

The Netflix original series? Dang it, it's another one that was done in the UK yeeeaaars ago and someone in the US decided to make their own copy.

Well it kind of makes sense. If they do want to turn it into more then one film, if they do a pseudo Human Revolution story first that lays the groundwork for going into the original game/story.

Obviously not seen yet, but a short article about the potential of the planned Deus Ex film... http://www.movieweb.com/news/deus-ex-human-revolution-is-a-cyberpunk-movie-says-writer-c-robert-cargill

Saw the public test server was back up, they've added a bunch of tweaks including the "level cap of 55" and such in advance of the expansion. Although now I no longer have 9,000 odd cartel coins.. or the damn expanded bay that I picked up last time I was playing on there.. C'est la vie.

I left 3 notes scattered around the house earlier for my girlfriend. They said "Will", "you" and "me". That'll keep her busy whilst I watch tv."

It goes to show, PR is everything. Just imagine if Sharks had had a Flipper instead of a Jaws....

Recently Treehugger produced a 10 Reasons Dolphins Are Awesome Which was soon rebutted by Deep Sea News listing of 10 Reasons Why Dolphins Are **** So I shall present both lists, and let you decide..

Without even the joys of an evening before hand in getting drunk, I find I'm trying to deal with the day whilst a grinding headache surfs along with occasional bouts of the "stabby-sharp-behind-the-eyeballs" moments.

Because they think that Rugby should be played with 40 lbs of protective gear, and time outs every 5 minutes. So they call it American football.

There was that old joke that used to run around about Nato forces and the different attitudes/training of the various groups involved at any one point. Ran something along the lines of "The worst mixed unit in Nato has a nurse from germany, a cook from england, a quartermaster from italy, a french engineer and an american officer. The best unit has a nurse from italy, a cook from france, a quartermaster from america, a german engineer and an english officer."

Had a follow on night of bad sleep. By bad, I mean I didn't really fall to sleep until around 5am ish. I am now walking around in semi-zombie mode and still drinking from morning tea...
