New Cool Quote

Thanks to Shadow Footprints I’ve got another quote to add to my list of favorites:

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
— Dr. Seuss

Space

Listening to Dubbya talking about the space program… I just can’t get over the image of him curled up on the couch watching Star Trek re-runs and picking up the phone and telling NASA that he wants a spaceship to play with… “Hey… We should do THAT… I want transporters and photon torpedos too! ;)”

A few Recommendations and Wishes

By the way.. just in case you care – here are a few movie / DVD recommendations for Y’all

• Mystic River (in theaters): We saw this a little while ago and I was surprised at how much I liked it. Movie is about three guys who were kids growing up in the rough ‘burbs of Boston and how their lives collide again years later. Kind like if you took Stand By Me, moved it to Boston, and focused on when the kids grew up! 🙂
• Cold Mountain (in theaters): SO Good. Its a civil war movie that was set in the hills of North Carolina but filmed in Romania (because the countryside there is very similar and much more untouched). The photography was beautiful, the plot was interesting (though a bit gorey at times), and the cast is fantastic. Kevin and I saw this over the holidays when we were in North Carolina which made it that much better. And on top of all that they used Final Cut Pro and Cinema Tools in the making of it
• Lord of the Rings – Return of the King (in theaters): The third one was DEFINITELY the best in my book. Kevin and I went and saw it when we got back from North Carolina and even HE loved it. I’m absolutely amazed at the combination of live action and CG and how seamlessly they worked together. How they managed to keep that up across 3 movies I have no idea.. And it was composited using Shake – Apple even got a credit.
• Pirates of the Carribean (on Video): I didn’t think much of this when it was out – how interesting can a ride at Disney Land really be as a movie. But it was silly fun and Johnny Depp was a riot..
• Strangers with Candy – Season 2 (on Video): This show is just wrong but I love it. Brian and Matt gave this to Kevin for Christmas…

• Peter Pan
• Big Fish
• Monster

Woo HOOOO

Just had an earthquake. Far as I can tell a little one since Kevin couldn’t feel it at his office in the city but we could definitely feel it here in Cupertino… LOVE earthquakes – least the small ones – bigger ones aren’t as much fun.. ya know when things fall on folks – thats bad.. but the little ones are kinda like home delivered roller coasters! 🙂

UPDATE: Seems it was a 6.4 centered in San Simeon CA (south of here). 6.4 is pretty good sized so i’m guessing there was damage down there – bummer. But it was just kinda movin and shakin up here!

UPDATE 2: Watch here for the after shocks as they come in (and DAMN there has been a bunch of ’em – all around San Simeon.

Update 3: Ok.. now not so fun… Looks like it did a lot of damage and 2 people died! :(:(… 6.5 that you can feel from San Simeon to Cupertino is never good… I’ll shut up now! 🙁

It Keeps getting worse

As if the what they did to Cat in the Hat wasn’t enough.. Now we have THIS to look forward to:

I’m a HUGE fan of kids movies and this even looks lame to ME
