new moon

So there's a new movie out this weekend. From the Twilight series. Pre-sale tickets outsold Star Wars: Episode III.

And I'm the geek?

Let's compare. Vampires and werewolves are cool. Not the ones in Twilight, but I'll give them credit for trying.

I'd like to see Jacob fight Chewbacca. Who would win? CHEWBACCA! Chewie is one bad mutha!

I'll admit that Luke Skywalker is kind of a wuss. He toughens up, but still, Edward could probably beat him up.

Yoda, though. Not. A. Chance. I mean, seriously! Did you see Episode 2? Yoda SCHOOLS Dooku in lightsabering! Edward would look at Yoda all broody and say something lame like, "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb."

Yoda would stare him down and say, "Stake your shiny chest with a lightsaber, I will. Mmmm."

Then a couple of "vvvvvvvvmmm....vvvmmmmm...vvvvvmmmms" later, Yoda is standing over Edward. And Jacob. And any other lame people in the movie. And then Chewie and Yoda chest bump. Because that's what hardcore people do.

I'm off to make more lightsaber noises.

Enjoy!

it's chilly

How are you? Are you cold? I bet you are. The sun just isn't warming you up like it used to, is it? Don't worry, you're not crazy! There have been fewer sunspots in the last year or so and that means that the sun is putting out less energy. And THAT means that the planet is a little bit cooler.

Which is great because of all that global warming! The sun and the earth are working together to give you a more comfortable environment.

Earth: "Hey Sun! It's getting really hot down here! Could you turn it down a notch?!"

Sun: "Can do, Earthy-poo!"

The sun loves to rhyme. It writes poetry all the time. Would you like to hear some?

"I'm the sun and I have fun,
Until the fun is almost done!"

"Wind blows through the air,
It blows around your hair,
Unless your head is bare,
Then you probably don't care!"

And they're all pretty much like that. The sun wrote a poetry book, but it didn't sell too well. It came out the same time that Twilight was booming, so there was a lot of competition. It's a tough market out there.

I'm off to cool down in the sun.

Enjoy!
