Batman Returns (Part...I've lost count)

I'm still in movie mode.

In just a couple more weeks Mr. Christian Bale is back for another go at Batman Begins, this time working along side the late Heath Ledger who plays the Joker. Not before too long we'll see that Bat Symbol posted up above Gotham, and for all those people not paying attention, the Bat Symbol is only made available by something I like to call metal halide. I like to call it that, because that's what it's called. Metal halide. Check it out.


On a sidenote, how confusing would it be if you actually owned a spotlight with a Bat Symbol cover in your backyard or something? I'm sure the FAA would have something to say about it, but a few times a year I'm sure the entire city would get a kick out of your toy : )

Glow, oops, grow in the dark

Do you live in a dungeon? I surely hope not. Well, in the event you find yourself in a dungeon any time soon and you want to keep some of your plants up and running, don't forget to pack your grow lights. If you don't, you'll find yourself outside the castle, where someone will ridicule you mercilessly like this.

I'm Home Alone

Literally. Since I'm stuck here I'm watching Macaulay Culkin mess up Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern's characters in the 1990 John Hughes flick, "Home Alone." Yeah, whattya know.

Because the two crooks in this movie get so thoroughly beat up by an 8-year old kid, most people don't notice the heat he's packing throughout the entire "big finale" as they chase him through the house. Big Mac is packin' an air pellet gun, which he opens up by shooting both guys, one in the head, the other in the...

...yeah. When this movie is over, I'm gonna throw on another one. Be back in a bit...

Having a bad day?

Imagine making minimum wage only to be taken hostage by some guy holding a fake gun. Air pellet guns probably get people in more trouble than they should, but still, scenes like this one can be funny in the right context:This movie has been out for over 20 years, if you haven't seen in yet you better get on it. The next time I go to Six Flags Magic Mountain, I'm going to smuggle a water pistol in and see what kind of advantage it gives me while waiting in lines.

My PRECIOUS!

Even Gollum can't get his hands off of the newest gadgets. Just take a look at this picture I found:
Frightening! Yeah yeah yeah, the iPhone revolutionized the mobile market. People can't get enough of this thing. But what good would it be without mobile satellite internet? If there weren't satellites, we'd have no mobile internet, no GPS, no......MTV2. If I didn't have my MTV2, I may not be able to function on a daily basis.

There's No Time Like Tee Time


Not that tea, the other tee. The tee where you're outside, wide open, ready to let the big dog eat. I'm still on my game, and things are looking better every weekend.

Having good golf equipment changes everything. I started my new hobby by piecing everything together. I bought up a few new goodies before my last two outings. I'm killing the ball off the tee with the TaylorMade Tour Burner. It's super light, I'm getting great acceleration through my swing, and cutting down on my distance to the green. Game on!

Something new


Have you ever tried golfing? Me either. I was always a little reticent to pony up the cash to get myself a nice set of clubs and gear. I seem to have struck gold over at www.blind9golf.com though. Most of their golf apparel is discounted, and I haven't had to break into my piggybank while outfitting myself for the course. They carry all sorts of stuff, from equipment to clothing. If you're looking for a challenge too, but you don't feel spending an arm and a leg, stop by and check it out. Who knows, you may even like the sport.
