Stuff and nonsense

There's a few little bits and bobs that I've been meaning to post recently but which haven't made it on here yet for a variety of reasons (the main one being that I keep forgetting about them), so I thought bugger it I'll shove 'em all up in one go. That being the case, don't expect any coherency to this post whatsoever. Some might say "no change there then…"

Best thing EVAH. Someone's editing Star Trek: The Next Generation clips into hilarious mini-episodes. I was watching this in my lunchbreak the other day and almost peed on my chair.

These are my favourites.

And there's more HERE (including some Back to the Future ones)

This is addictive.

I went for a run the other night and noticed about seven herons milling about together in a park - which is unusual because they're rather territorial birds. Then I looked up to see one flying rather low over the top of me. It was an awesome sight - a bit like seeing a real, live pterodactyl. And it was at that point that I realised, being 40 minutes into my run, I was breathing through my mouth and if the heron had been so inclined it could've poo'd right in it.

Must concentrate on breathing through my nose more.

Have you seen it, have you seen it?! Seen what, you ask? The new Star Trek trailer of course!

I kid you not, but May 8th cannot come soon enough. I am *SO* looking forward to this film.

(And in a related matter, may I recommend the comic book prequel, Star Trek: Countdown? I've just read the second issue and it is AWESOME. The collected edition is out in April, conveniently just a matter of days before the movie is released)

Talking of films, I saw Watchmen. It was very good, although kinda spoilt by the fact that an article on Aintitcool made mention of the fact that the production had "someone specifically working on the jiggle physics of his [Dr. Manhatten's] wang." Having read that means that your eyes are inevitably, and rather horrifically, drawn to it to see if they did indeed make it look realistic. I'm no expert on the gentle swaying of a 50 metre-tall blue man's penis as he walks around in the Arctic, but short of painting my own a similar shade and strutting around like I'm on a catwalk, I'm going to say that yes, they probably got it about right.

Are you on Facebook? Yes? Well, may I invite you to join my newly-formed group? I've started a petition to have William Shatner record a cover version of the classic Soundgarden track Black Hole Sun.

Imagine this:

You know it makes sense. Join us HERE. I'm after suggestions for B-sides too.
