battlestar galactica

i saw the miniseries this weekend and i think most of you will like it too. i'm going to begin the tv episodes soon.

this is some pretty cool scifi. reminds me a lot of the robotech anime.

stephen colbert found dead in apartment

are you kidding me?

i should've been stockpiling my childhood and kept the boxes.

lollers

your ex-lover is dead

i heard this song last night and it's still in my head... i ended up listening to it a few times at work today.

this song has a strange hold on me. i suppose there's relevence.

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across pont champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...

update: found the eternal-sunshine-esque music video in realvideo

that was a pretty good happy hour

Given that EA has dedicated a specific group to Revolution development, it stands to reason that the game will take advantage of the console's unique capabilities. While many details will have to wait until E3 kicks off, GameSpot was given an advanced scouting report which said that the gameplay will make extensive use of the Revolution controller's motion-sensing capabilities.

Players will hike the ball by mimicking a quarterback receiving the ball from the center, and then pass it to a receiver by making a throwing gesture with the free-hand controller. The faster the passing motion, the more of a bullet pass it becomes (in previous Madden editions, bullet passes were made by holding the passing button down longer).

Kicking the ball will be accomplished by sweeping the controller up as if it were a kicker's leg striking the ball. A fast, level swing will make for a hard, straight kick.

The Revolution controller will also come into play when running the ball, as jerking the controller left or right will make the ball-carrier juke to either side, while shoving it straight ahead will make him stiff-arm the opposition.

5k training

run twice a week, total distance 6-8 miles.

if i run twice in a week outdoors, everything gets really sore so i usually don't do that. just once a week is fine for me.

outdoors: 2.2 miles up the parkway to fountain drive and then back. i usually just jog this because it's usually so nice and relaxing. i'm aiming to be able to do this in less than 45 minutes though. 4.4 miles.

indoors: 20 minutes running on a high incline treadmill and then a 20 minutes fast run on a moderate incline. i hate treadmills though; it's so boring and i'm afraid i'll fall off if i keep my eyes on the tv too long. this is roughly 3.5 to 4 miles. i've never lasted the whole 20 minute fast run though.

i'm hoping for a better time at the university city 5k. it's got a really interesting route that i've never run before. i think i liked last year's route better where they went from drexel u to roughly city hall and turned back around.

i have no explanation for why i do this to myself.

might as well make use of my flickr pro upgrade

NEW YORK (AP) -- ABC will launch a global interactive game based on the hit TV show "Lost," the network announced Monday.

Details, however, are about as mysterious and convoluted as the plot of the island castaway drama. The "Lost Experience" will be Internet-based and will feature a parallel story line that is not part of the TV show.

It will begin May 2 in the United Kingdom, May 3 in the U.S. and May 6 in Australia. There is no winning prize, but the experience will offer clues that could unlock some of the island's many secrets.

"It's like a giant, worldwide mysterious jigsaw puzzle that will come to life for all the world to solve," Mike Benson, senior vice president of marketing for ABC Entertainment, said in a statement.

What is known about the challenge is that it includes the introduction of new characters and the mysterious Hanso Foundation. The first clue requires finding a toll-free number that will be released during the show or commercial breaks.

Clues will vary by continent, so participants will benefit from coordinating their information. ABC said the game is designed to appeal to both fans and people unfamiliar with "Lost."

Bob Ross Inc. announced on Friday that the painting-made-simple guru would soon be immortalized in his very own video game. Sounds like perfect April Fool's fodder, right? Wrong. The untitled Bob Ross video game is being planned for the Nintendo Revolution, DS, and PC. The game has been licensed to developer AGFRAG who is currently searching for a publisher

AGFRAG's Joseph Hatcher promised, "The Bob Ross game will utilize the unique inputs that the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Revolution have that can truly immerse the players while they learn to paint like Bob Ross." He added, "I want the community to share with us ... what they'd like to see in the NDS and Revolution games. We want to keep the brush going." Next-gen killer app, anyone?

no sarcasm here: i'm psyched for some strange reason.

uh oh we better get started

excellent

it's very difficult for me to say this but

this might be the best season of 24 yet. holy shit.

way to go, lost nerds

movie review: wristcutters: a love story

i didn't know shannyn sossamon was going to be in it. i <3 sossamon.

anyway, it was a nice little movie. it was like a very off-kilter road-trip-esque comedy movie. funny but only because i find thick russian accents funny. it had its crazy universe and gimmicks. i liked it but it didn't really blow me away or anything.

also, will arnett, otherwise known as gob, was in the movie for like 5 minutes as the messiah. he was hilarious though. i imagined hearing the final countdown playing when he was in the scene.

movie review: lucky number slevin

usual suspects-esque movie with an all-star cast. a lot more violent than i thought it would be. good story though with sharp dialogue between all the actors. very funny. i would say bruce willis' line "you didn't think i would know? i'm a world-class assassin, you fuck-head." is my favorite.

8.83/10

movie review: shadowboxer

pretty good movie. i would say that i enjoyed it more than lucky number slevin. there was a lot more man ass than i expected in this movie. and cuba gooding jr does a pretty job in this movie. also, claudia from 24 season 3 is in it (omg bewbs). the first third of the movie is kinda slow but it got sucked in and really enjoyed it.

9.17/10

this is the stupidest thing ever

Liberty Property Trust, which is building the 975-foot-tall Comcast Center, is seeking to change the building code so it can install the water-saving devices and have its skyscraper certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. The 58-story Comcast Center could save 1.6 million gallons of water a year with the no-flush basins, advocates say.

But the influential Plumbers Union Local 690 has blocked the code change because the urinals lack water lines and therefore require less labor to install. City officials have so far deferred to the union, which is led by Edward Keenan, a close friend of Bob Brady, the Philadelphia congressman who also heads the city's Democratic Party.

fuck that. i'm sure the horse carriage union wasn't too happy when the first fords came rolling out either.
