i Saw My First 3D Movie

So, Friday was a loooooooooong day for me.  However, i did go to the movie theatre. 

What i saw was a questionable PG movie call ParaNorman.  Questionable due to some of the content - like a corpse, ghosts, mild violence.  It did reference some monster movies in subtle ways.  i guess it was an OK/average movie.  It wasn't really funny or anything like that (there were some jokes, maybe i just wasn't receptive that day).  This is the kind of movie i would wait for in the library rather than buying it. 

Microsoft Surface RT Tablet Post (Because i'm Bored)

Yes, this is another tablet related post.  That is fair warning.  Microsoft's forthcoming tablet the Microsoft Surface RT is allegedly coming between October 26-29th.  Little is currently known about the tablet (except the release date).  So here are a few of my jumbled thoughts.concerns on the matter...

Tablets Revisited... Yet Again

i have been kicking around the idea of purchasing a tablet for a while now (somewhat to save my notebook computer a little bit).  Mainly for stuff like email and light web surfing.  i also kind of like the idea of having a portable media device. 

So, what are my current thoughts on tablets... 

Losery Post of Loserdom: Videos Watched This Summer Vacation

So, i guess i watched a couple of movies between June and September (probably).  In fact i watched DVD in different time zones. 

So i watched a bunch of movies (some of them, not so much).  Some were OK, some were bad, some were preachy.  Ok the ones i kind of liked ...  Lockout, Man on a Ledge, Tucker and Dale vs Evil, The "bad"... The Fourth Kind, Cutback: One Life One Decision, John Carter, Joyful Noise, Little Matchmakers, Red Tales, Shark Night, Something Borrowed, We Need to Talk About Kevin,

How i Spent My Summer Vacation

Another summer has come and gone (i wish).  Labor Day is approaching (i hate that "holiday") and many schools in the area are starting (or already did).  So, what did i do on my summer vacation this year?  Well i....

July 4th - i Suck at Using a DLSR 2

So, yesterday was some kind of a holiday (or something in the US), i think.  i don't view it as a birthday for a country (really, still celebrating after 200 years - i though females stopped having birthdays when they hit 29.  Countries are often referred to in feminine ways).   So, i view it as a firework holiday.  To paraphrase a Simpsons show... what better way to celebrate the birthday of a country than by blowing up a small part of it.

Moyer vs Hultzen: A Minor League Baseball Game

i guess that it was inevitable, i went to another baseball game.  This game was a minor league game between the Tacoma Rainiers (they aren't very good) and the Las Vegas 51s (the alien-y team).  This was supposed to be the pitching duel between the past and the present Mariners pitching... the veteran (49 years old) Moyer vs last year's second pick Danny Hultzen.  So here are some of my impressions of the game (that took place yesterday).  These will be somewhat more centered on the Rainiers since i don't know anything about the 51s (outside of Moyer)
