Trees, Staring, and Inconsistent Glitter Faces

Yes, to tell everyone else what you Twitards know from the title of this post, Nicole and I went to see Twilight Eclipse tonight. My review- if you like the first ones you will like this one. If you found the first ones boring you will find this one boring. Its pretty much the exact same thing as the last movie except... um... uhh... oh yeah! There is a girl wolf. There are some super sweet action poses that Nicole would think were stupid if they were in Hot Rod, but since they are not they are totally rad (even though they were intended to be cheesy in Hot Rod whereas in Twilight they are totally serious). I am always happy to see Bryce Dallas Howard in stuff (in the series's Bewitched moment).

I do not get the appeal, and I do not think I ever will. It is what it is. Girls/women and Ben seem to love it (the same can be said for Bradley Cooper, although that I can see). Most men seem to be perplexed by its appeal. I give up and take my medicine every few months.

web-land quiz time!

So, I went from not having a single post in nearly two years to now having a post three days in a row. It appears I have had some things on my mind. Will I continue to update this often? I do not know, maybe. I do know I have some ideas for the rest of the week. But now, for the moment you have all been waiting for: a new web-land quiz!

Here are four recent United States Supreme Court nominees:

Two are Democrats and two are Republicans. Can you guess who without knowing anything about their platforms or beliefs? The answer is below....

ANSWER:

The two on the left were nominated by Barak Obama, a Democrat. The two on the right were nominated by George W. Bush, a Republican. Do you want to know an easy way to tell? That's right Democratic nominees are always fugly (if you don't know what this means ask someone under 35). Thanks for playing.

To boldy go?

Pugsley (our dog) has had to be dipped every other week for the last two months to take care of demodectic mange. So, today was one of those days. When I went to the vet's office to pick him up I saw something rather peculiar in the parking lot. It was the USS HAISE, otherwise known as the Jackson (metro?) chapter of the Star Trek fan club. See it for youself above. Here is their website. As you can see they are quite dedicated. To be honest, on the photo gallery, I have really no idea what is going on in some of those pictures. I do think it is pretty funny that they had a Halloween party where they dressed up as they generally seem to be dressed up most other days as well. Also, whoever dressed up as the Alien needs some kind of award. I also am very amused at the trip they took to Sonny's BBQ. It has a certain fish out of water appeal. It seems like they do quite a bit of philanthropy in the area and that is to be commended. And hey, if they enjoy it, more power to them. Who are we to judge? Still, it made for an interesting trip to the vet.

Needless to say, the pet picked up at the vet's office was a cat.

Around Another Bend...

I am sure with my long absence from blogging I have alienated my only two or three readers yet, I feel like it is time for me to get back into this again. Even if it's not being read, I at least get some egomanicial pleasure out of seeing my thoughts floating through cyberspace. I have found myself saying more and more often lately, I would write a blog entry about this or that. Those thoughts (that word looks strange typed) now have a home again. Incidentally, I didn't really have anything on my mind to write about tonight. So, I will leave it at that.
