Livin it One Day at A Time

I’m thinking of getting myself a Popcorn Machine that I can do cool stuff to. Comments? Questions? Should I do it? Am I crazy?

For those of you who think there a Serenity 2 will never happen, here is a little clarification on the subject. Hint: If the Network said “Go make another movie” he’d make another movie. It’s just not happening right now.

Thinking of getting this Don’t Hassell the Hoff t-shirt.

And Manorexia is on the rise, Brian.

If you’ve been reading this blog at all, you’d know that I am a nerd. I am the nerds nerd.

You’ll also know that I grew up watching Transformers, and even had a tramatic experience with the Transformers Movie (”One shall stand, one shall fall”)

So, I’m all kinds of paranoid that Michael Bay (Maker of “The Island”, a movie that had product placement every 1 minute) is making this film. The conceptual drawings of the transformers are making me nervous as well.

Alas, I did totally freak out when I read this Interview with Peter Cullen, aka Optimus Prime about how he’s doing the voice in the Movie. Interesting interview, but by far more entertaining are the comments to the article

I’d just like to add that at the end of the interview, I asked Peter to say something in the voice of Optimus Prime. What he said will be played on an upcoming podcast. It may also become my ringtone. That man is my hero.

And

Optimus Prime was my hero as a child, and seeing him die on the big screen was dispicable of Marvel Productions. Imagine Luke Skywalker dieing in Return of the Jedi. There are just some things you don’t do. You don’t kill Bambi, You don’t shoot Bugs Bunny, and you don’t kill a childhood hero on the movie screen. Period. The fact that Peter Cullen is coming on board with the live action movie will help heal the scar I received as a child.

and finally

I was totally crushed and betrayed when Optimus Prime was killed. To this day, that’s still one of the only scenes in a movie that makes me choke up just a little. And for what? Hot Rod? Argh! I wanted to light someone on fire for that crap.

I am overjoyed that Peter is doing the voice.

These people may be standing in line with me.

I can’t believe I’m even saying that..

This weekend I was at the farmers market because I am all into markets with farmers.

Meaning that I was busy getting myself some expensive fresh bread, some expensive fresh salsa, and some cheap potatoes.

After the buying of the fruit tarts and rasberry confections I wandered around a bit, took my fresh foods and started my trek back to the bachelor apartment.

Somewhere along the way I decided I wanted a health shake so I stopped at the local smoothie place.

After a few minutes of standing at the counter looking for what delicious blend of sherbert, fruits, and powdery goodness I wanted to consume, a cute girl I know comes out and asks me what I want.

Me: *hemin and hawin*

Her: “This over here is good”

Me: *notices a carmel apple shake poster on the wall*

Me: “That looks nasty” *makes gagging noises*

Her: “Oh, its really good, if you like carmel”

Me: “It really looks nasty! Who’d want those two things together”

Her: “Oh no, I really like it”

Me: “Really?”

Her: “Yes, it’s really good”

Me: “Well OK..”

Her: “But you probably want more of a breakfast smoothie”

Me: “Ok. What do you recommend”

Her: “X Smoothie”

And I buy X Smoothie, drink it and walk out the door before I realize

I almost BOUGHT a shake that I was pretty sure was NASTY because a cute girl was telling me she liked it.

All the sudden I realized that poor Adam probably didn’t have a chance…
