How Tall is Optimus Prime?
More importantly: who’s taller, Optimus Prime or the Pink Power Ranger? I’d like to take just a few minutes here to answer this simple little question.
The two clearly have very different images. One is the fearless leader of a race of transforming robots from another galaxy. The other is the high-kicking female member of a superhero team who in her spare time is a good friend of...

Those of you who know me know that I’m going through a bit of a Transformers phase right now. And why not, huh? They’re really cool. If you don’t believe me, check out this site and give your imagination a rest.

I Took a Nap the Other Day
It was a good one, but not the best I’ve had. In my day I’ve napped some epic naps. Some glorious naps. I’m in fact so fond of naps that I think they should always be described using the same words one would use to boast of a victory on a battlefield. Use words like “terrific,” and “monumentous,” and “unprecedented.” Imagine a hardy barbarian...

Just Push Right Through the Flab
I went home Sunday-today. For those of you who don’t know (a big list, I try not to complain too much), I suffer from occasional severe headaches. I’ll not have them for up to periods of months, and then get a headache every day for sometimes weeks at a time. I’ll wake up and be fine but around dinner time feel it coming on. The pain really is very bad, but when you get one every...

I just saw Kung Pow! Enter the Fist and it rocked. But then I saw Super Troopers and it was delightful. I seem to be late on the boat on that one, though, so I’m guessing you all already know that.
Today’s fun link is a little article by America’s darling, Molly Ringwald.

If you asked me what my favorite Pokemon is (go ahead, ask), I’d without hesitation respond: Raichu. Sure, there are lots of others that rock, but I like that chubby little mouse. He’s a little tougher, rougher, more “street” than Pikachu, but you’ll still want to have him as a pet unlike many of the more badass, scarier Pokemon. And I like his tail a lot.
So as I...

Strange dreams again tonight: very unsettling. Fits my mood these days though. Not that I’m unhappy, I’m just not quite sure where I am. I want a job, but I enjoy not having one. I like the cold weather, but I get annoyed when I have to turn the heat on. And being home these past few days has just reminded me that I don’t really live here anymore and have to face up to the fact...

As Kids We Could Name Every Transformer...
Now as an adult I find my ability to tell Skywarp from Thundercracker sorely diminished along with my once comprehensive internal enyclopedia of every dinosaur that ever walked, swam, or flew. No, this will not be a rant about the loss of youth, but instead a reaction to a happy cultural phenomena going on right now. You see, every once in a while the world lines itself up and produces something...
