I have this sitting in my reader right now, I have had for about a month, but I am scared to start it, It took me three different tries to read his mars books, I hope this one is better, it sounds like it is.

Yeesh those credits were horrible, I wonder if they are just doing it for the Monday timeslot for next couple of episodes, trying to catch some after Olympics contact high.

So maybe in a little while this will be Havre Island; I wonder if it would be part of New Zealand since an NZ Naval Officer found the first evidence of it? What is the procedure of "New" land being claimed even if it formed in open international waters?

so is that a single grain as in a single salt crystal or is that like a "pinch" of salt?

Ah hell no, that was about three days later when we had to do the "Meat Patrol" and it was soooo rancid smelling they actually had that part of the beach closed for a couple of more days because the bull sharks kept showing up for snacks. I think they even shot one from what I remember, this was in 1986.

I grew up in South Florida as a kid specifically Miami; as a teenager I was a Junior Lifegaurd for a summer, and part of my job was to pick up garbage, and count how many people were on our sector of the beach (this job sucked btw) one morning after a pretty big tropical storm a Whale Shark was stuck in the shallows,…

No problem Alasdair, happy to oblige.; oh and I am really looking forward to Cloud Atlas, that is a book that I thought could never be made into a movie, it may be the best hot mess of a movie I will see in a good long time.

" a description of the first Iron Man 3 trailer has leaked"

Wow the description made my brain itch!

Here is some dialog from Season 1 about Ginger:

And then she gets glamoured AGAIN and goes off wondering why she has blood inside her shoes poor lady.

up until last week that's what I thought also human reservation, the aliens must be doing that somewhere around the world.

Because I think she has been glamoured more than anyone in the show, plus she has the best horror girl scream out there

This is so fun, I love being able to view another world, a much higher res version is here: http://www.360pano.eu/show/?id=731

This is that same pseudo-Christian talking point stuff that missionary Christians are trained to say when they trying to save your soul when it is not appropriate i.e at work, in line at a sporting event, airplane. I had a co-worker that would monologue like this when she would could catch five or more of us in the…

Wow tin foil underpants on the lady dressed as the Crystalline Entity

Tee hee, You know what is funny, I worked in the film/commercial industry in the early 90's as a PA (production assistant not porn actor) and then the economy turned down and I was having a hard time finding work then a friend of mine who worked in the porn industry said I should come out to Chatsworth, CA, a lot of…

I believe that they did some Avengers lately, it is almost a becoming a sub-genre on it's own.

I was going to say that it doesn't look like Lego's because of the lack of colors, one of the reasons that Lego's are so cool, you can have like five little bricks of different colors and make believe 100 different things but I do see the aesthetic of why they did it this way.
