This is the shortest weekend of the year, thanks to daylight saving time. It’s kind of a bummer.

There’s only one way to stretch this weekend back out! That’s right, I’m gonna go watch me some Phantom Menace!

I just knew there was a reason I bought that movie.

Happy Pi Day, everyone! Anyone out there doing anything interesting to mark the date?

My plans for the night are pretty simple. I’m spending the night in, eating Pizza and watching… what else, Pi! Of course, the pizza is Little Caesars, so my Pie are squared!

Mob (A Near-Future Science Fiction Story)

Mob (a near-future science fiction story) by Tom Scott from hurryonhome on Vimeo.

Hear that? That’s the sound of my mind blowing. I don’t even know what category to stick this into. It’s too chilling for the humor section. It’s too possible for the fiction section.

You know what the most frightening part of this is, though? Watching it for the second time, I realized that neither of my parents would have understood even half of this video, even if someone tried to explain it to them. It makes me wonder what lethal insanity the world will be in the grip of thirty years from now when I don’t understand the latest tech culture. It’s creepy the way technology changes the world in blink.

Ever noticed that whenever you come across a gallery or video of “Con Highlights,” “highlights” is almost always a euphemism for cleavage?

I got the HelloGoodbye song Baby, It’s Fact stuck in my head. It’s humiliating, but it still beats the hell out of the week I went around Black Eyed Peas’ My Humps every time I was distracted, without realizing it.

Why has laser tag never risen to become a professional sport? That’s a sport I could watch. Who wouldn’t?! It would beat the hell out of football.

You know those lines they chroma key onto the football field to explain the progress of the game? Line of scrimmage or whatever? How long do you think it’s going to be before some industrious television network starts projecting little video advertisements onto the field during the game?

I rented Knowing last night. Damn Zardoz! I’ll never be able to hear Beethoven’s 7th Symphony without thinking about that retarded movie again.
