Rifftrax Live: Krull at the local theater in two hours. Woo!  I was there with some of my homeys last night myself. Krull sits in that rare zone of being both "beloved classic from my youth" and "totally cheeseball enough to deserve riffing" Plus it offers you the "peace of the dead" as well as a heaping dose of Serious Silly String. |

And possibly the tightest tights ever worn by a leading man; along with Slayer weapons that make the classic "Pew Pew Pew" sound. |

This is the one with swords that shoot lasers and a mountain is a rocket ship, no?

No to the laser sword, yes to the mountain rocket. This is the one with the wicked sweet throwing star thingie and the good guy cyclops.

I am sufficiently ashamed.

No no. It's easy to do. I saw most of those 80's sword & sorcery flicks way back when they opened...and haven't seen them since. I still need to get around to that Italian number called Sorceress from the same time period.

That local Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror Meetup group is holding another double-feature viewing next Saturday, hot on the heels of the last one. And, I was able to get the night off to attend! Granted, I'll lose some pay, but it won't count against me towards the number of days off we can take before veering into dangerous employment terrain. Anyway, I'm pretty hyped, and an extra day off will be quite nice, actually.

I just noticed that I'm now a "Misguided Visionary". I couldn't be happier!

You know those windshield sunscreen thingies that you have to bend this way and that way because they're supposed to fold down to a tidy size for easy storage? You know how they tend to spring open on you anyway despite your best efforts?
That's what those cups remind me of. Not sure I want to be sproinged like that.
Those things don't fold up, do they? Menstrual cups, I mean.
I've seen the sun screens in action. Totally ridiculous. If a Master's-level shrink can't get it to fold up it's time to throw it out. I rely on my accordion-folding Auto Shade, with the warning label that says CAUTION: DO NOT DRIVE WITH AUTO-SHADE IN PLACE!

Actually yeah, they do. My partner who used them said "it's soft silicone and much less unpleasant than a tampon". But to each her own and I am not entitled to an opinion (for obvious reasons). Sun shades are all designed to drive the end user crazy. At this point I just solartint the fuck out of all my car windows. |

Yeah, I've had exes that used them, they're rubber and all bendy flexible. I'm sure they'll pop open as wide as they can fit once they're all up in your hobbit hole, but you can squish them pretty narrow to get in the entrance.

I tried putting up one of those little pop-up pup tent thingies by myself once. I failed. I doubt I'd be any more successful with them thar cuppies. |

I got a box of Booberry and another of Count Chocula!  It's been a while since I just plopped down and watched some cheesy movies with a big bowl of cereal, and I'm looking forward to it soon. |

I'm genuinely happy to have things seemingly squared away for the PC. It's been a constant bother the past few weeks not knowing whether I'd be able to connect or not any given time. Sure, there's always the phone - but I don't really care to do much online stuff with that device.

I don't speak computeresse, but not only did my modem/router thingee get fried almost exactly a month ago tomorrow, but the doohickey that the line into the computer attaches to also got nailed. So, after having a second router/modem thingee installed yesterday, the guru and I went up to Best Buy and got a wireless whatchamacallit to connect up to the router/modem thingee. He's got the thing to hard-wire into the router/modem thingee at his house and will replace the old one when he comes by next time.
