So my sister's supposed to have her baby this weekend, my brother and his family went to Disneyland, letting me stay at their place (with a hot-tub, barbecue, big TV, etc) in the BIG city, but am I doing that? No, I'm at work. Yay!!! The good thing is, the boss has to leave by 11 to go to a graduation, so I'm going to cut out early. I plan to go watch a bunch of movies. That are brand new. In the theater. Reviews to follow!
..."Tear down this wall!" Twenty years ago today, President Ronald Wilson Reagan gave his famous speech, urging Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall and usher in a new era of freedom for all the citizens cowering behind the oppressive iron curtain. The famous line from his speech:
"General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
A new blog category has been created, brain explosions. From time to time, when I find something that absolutely makes me twitch, I will post it here with this picture:
The item today, this post from MM that will make you want to shoot your computer screen. Please put down all guns and heavy objects before reading!
Well, I went over to the Fred Heads to sign up. Will you? Also, click here to go to Fred!'s official website to donate lots of money!
Update: Blogger is dumb, it wouldn't let me have "!" in either the post title or in the label title. To make up for that egregious shortcoming, let me just say Fred! Fred! Fred!
...Is nigh upon us. Ace has info regarding the development of "the ansible." I can't wait to "meet" Jane. Now all we need is a zero-G battle school and some highly intelligent adolescents and we'll be all set to finely defeat the bugger menace. Yay!
...Someone talented and beautiful was born. This woman, born on Tuesday June 9th, 1981, has often been compared to Audrey Hepburn. There is the same classic beauty, and indeed the same intelligence as Ms. Hepburn. Our 26 year old beauty demonstrated this native intelligence by earning straight-A's at a very prestigious university. Born near the sea, she moved with her family at a very young age to the location where she would spend the rest of her childhood. Now, however, she has moved away from the family home for work-related reasons.
Our classic beauty, no, babe really, has a job that not many people can claim to have done. Plenty of other people do this job, but she truly excels at it, even winning awards for her outstanding performance. Although very smart and basically just hot, this charming woman has held true to her principles and beliefs, even in an industry that some say is male-centric. A flashing smile, a sharp wit, entrancing eyes, this woman is definitely one for the ages.
Who is she?
Update: Oh yeah, it's also my little-little sister's birthday today. Right now she's a pilot instructor, but soon she'll be flying one of these. Happy Birthday Bongo!
