Shawshank Redemption
how it would have ended if it was made 10 years earlier. This is in my book of "Sucked-In" movies. These are flicks that when you are channel surfing and most likely need to be doing something important, you will watch it, no matter how long ago it started. For example, its Saturday afternoon, you really need to mow the lawn, but just a bit too hungover, so while channel surfing... MTV Cribs...Best Week Ever, Paid Commercial with Billy Mays(too much screaming, next)...Monk... Shawshank.... Mouse Hunt... wait go back, Shawshank. He's tarring the roof, ooooooOOOOOOooooo, he's about to get thrown off into the courtyard, what's gonna happen? Next thing you know, its dark out, you're hungry and the dog pee'd in the kitchen.

Is Sarah Palin saying something?
I have no idea what she said. All I could pay attention to is the grinning idiot behind her killing turkey. I couldn't help myself but I started laughing when the second bird started to kick. Watch this with the sound off, it won't make a difference. Unless, you can hear the turkey.

Don't ever eat the corndogs.
I saw Quantum of Solace, crappy title, not even explained, but otherwise AWESOME! 3 kick-ass action sequences to start the film, I was very happy with this flick despite some lukewarm reviews. Yes, they showed my favorite cocktail again, the Vespa. In case you missed it, 3 parts (Gordon's) gin, 1 part vodka, 1/2 part Lillet Blanc (hard to find, but one bottle makes ~60 drinks) and a twist of lemon. I usually don't have a lemon to twist, so citrus vodka works. The trailers were spectacularly crappy. I am so sick of Will Smith, closet Scientologist. Here's a good trailer, follow up to SuperBad but not a real sequel.

New Guitar Hero

UPDATE: ...and of course it's viral marketing.

Recap
So,yeah, its been awhile. Let me expain -- No, there is too much. Let me sum up. Buttercup is marrying Humperdinck in a little less than half an hour, so all we have to do is get in, break up the wedding, steal the Princess, make our escape after I kill Count Rugen. Tampa Bay Rays loses the World series, both the Bills and Bucs are looking shaky and I have a great time at the Metallica concert. Here's the set list:
11/6/08 Qwest Center , Omaha, NE
That Was Just Your Life, The End of the Line- Death Magnetic
Creeping Death- Ride the Lightning
The Thing That Should Not Be- Master of Puppets
One- ...and Justice for All
Broken, Beat & Scarred, Cyanide- Death Magnetic
Sad But True, Wherever I May Roam- Metallica (the Black Album)
No Remorse- Kill 'em All
The Day That Never Comes- Death Magnetic
Master Of Puppets- guess which?
Fight Fire With Fire- Ride the Lightning
Nothing Else Matters, Enter Sandman- Metallica
Die Die My Darling- Garage Inc
Blitzkrieg- Creeping Death EP
Seek and Destroy- Kill 'em All
The crowd was very responsive to the new, as well as old favorite songs. They played a much better show than last time I saw them in Tampa, Nov 2004. But, the Tampa show had a better opening act, Godsmack. This time it was The Sword and Down. I was just able to catch the end of Down's set and they sounded good. I wonder how the conversation went with the former lead singer of Pantera, now lead for Down, to open for Metallica. Phil had previously dogged Metallica for not being real metal back in the 90's. But Pepper is good friends with Metallica, so that's probably why they are along. I'm listening to The Sword as I write this and so far not impressed. Somebody must be, since they are around for the full tour, even while doing other side gigs along the way. Down drops out later and Lamb of God is the replacement.
Anyway, I am a big fan of the Death Magnetic and the songs a good live. They punch it up in the middle of 4 new songs with One then 2 crowd pleasers from the black album. Looks live the Black album is Omaha's favorite. But I was standing next to an old school fan so we both were excited to hear Thingy. Its in my top 5 and to hear it live was just pure awesomeness. I wonder when they might stop playing Enter Sandman. I've heard James say he hates the song now and his fav to play live is Fuel. The closing songs of Die and Blitz had my wife pissed off. She wanted more album stuff. They turned up the house lights and released giant inflated black beach balls. I'm sure they thought the crowd would bounce them all around but they were quickly snagged as mementos. I couldn't get a pic, but a dude on the floor with an eyepatch with a ball bigger than him would have made a good pic. If I can figure out how to edit the awful camera video together I might put that up. Email me if you would like to be tortured with 4 - 15 sec clips of shitty quality sound and video. All made possible by Samsung. I'm listening to Lamb of God now... I can't stand this either. Switch over to Down. Now, I'm mad I missed this. They sound good. Temptations Wings real good. Sounds real close to being Pantera again.

Happy Birthday Lou Ferrigno
Shown at his best, but also at Arnold's best, before steriods get everybody bloated and freakish. Arnold should have won but was beaten by Arnold's head games.
Music obviously not from the original.

RIP Michael Crichton

Windows is like the Deltas in A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Hotlinked in case you are bored.
Giraffe!
Yeah, this took awhile to show up. I've been a little behind in my duties. But my paladin just learned resurrection, so I am so popular right now.

About Last Night
In case you have been under a rock, Obama won the 2008 Presidential Election race. Of course, South Park already has an episode about it. This show is freaking hilarious!
Sorry about the subtitles.

Obama wins election
Running commentary starting just before Obama gives his acceptance speech: 
All is right in the world,
So, Obama has won. Let's see if it has been all worthwhile. Will he be more than the P.ot.U.S.A, but a planetary leader. Nice suit, they must have made improvements in bulletproof jackets.
Secret service probably shit bricks over Obama win. More work for them with all the dumbass rednecks left in the country.
Just told kids they are getting puppy. Will be most popular dog in USA soon? I hope he gets a mutt. Symbolism and all. Love the name “Axelrod”- he's chief of staff?. Dude should have been military. Nice to see mix of races everywhere celebrating this. Even in Harlem. It took 40 years but the Dream has finally happened. I think he just quoted JFK, “government by the people, for the people, shall not perish, etc. Jesse Jackson, Senator(?) from GA who took a beating in march with MLK JR. I don't remember in my lifetime seeing a turn out like this for voting/ presidential candidate win. Crowds in NYC and Chicago are huge. A small crowd outside of White House. Massachusetts votes to decriminalize weed. Watch the jail population cut by third over next 2 years
they just put lots o money in their pocket with a fine instead.
Wonder if obama will start bodybuilding on gov Schwarzenegger's comment-
“his legs are too skinny!”
CBS showning all the celbs, Jesse Jackson, Oprah during 106 year old black woman voter story
btw... this is the big speech, bush will be forgotten as obama “de facto” pres
maybe we should get him the pope mobile, 125k plus in the park
oprah is crying, jesse too, awwww, all pres and vp family on stage, {group hug}
results of nebraska voting for pres, nader was on the ticket again, 2k+ voted for him, half coming from northern omaha??? listen i'm all for more parties, but on the surface this looks dumb
now 200k+ ppl?, either way huge crowd, election day needs to be holiday
if we can get ppl out to vote like this all the time you could see the return of an actual democracy
maybe even vote to end lobbying, i know its a stretch even Mr. Fantastic might not be able to handle
(local news cutting in with nothing important to say)
Obama 44th pres in 200+ yrs, 1st blk guy (even though just half)
Nice to see no controversy, wins pop vote by 4 mil so far, and 330+ elec coll votes
Battleground states, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Colorado, Iowa, Virginia go for Obama
possibly even Missouri (still not called at 2am CST) who has voted for the elected pres all but once since the 50's
if al franken can win,(probably recount now) do we see pumpkin head and hannity running for office next?
Sorry to see SNL lose great material, but ok with that if economy gets fixed
affirmative action killed in Nebraska, haven't seen any coverage on same sex marriage votes
Abortion changes mostly all get shot down.
I wonder if Palin will appoint herself senator in Alaska since current Senator gets kicked out of office.... i'll say she will, to get to DC some how then run for Pres in 2012.
Reporter at Indiana U. just landed a permanent job... we'll see Luke Russert a lot in 4 years, RIP Tim, (sorry he didnt get to see this)
large crowd now at white house, shot of grant park, chicago again, office building in bkgrd w/ usa in office lights
ttfn, still on eastern standard time, feels like 2 am right now just b4 midnight
must be time for bed, i'm going slightly mental, bloodhound gang- kmwisf running thru my head
ttfn for realz this time, maybe not, a little World o' Warcraft first...
still watching while patch dowmloads... 100mil + voters, awesome
This only way this gets better is if Bush and/or Cheney drop dead in teh next 24 hours or so.

Metallica in Omaha this Thursday
I wonder how long it will take to recover this time. After the last tour came through Tampa 4 years ago, I couldn't use the phone for a month from eardrum pain.
Monsters vs Aliens
Even though it looks like just one alien. Anyway, if you think that drugs are bad for people the throw out the majority of your music collection and don't watch this. Without drugs this is just not possible.
Probably will make it wayyyyy better.
