I'm so happy that bike weather is back, but I wish I didn't have to lock it up. It is my steed. I want it to feel free. Bike thieves are a special kind of jerk.

I wonder if it would be effective to leave a note. "Pleeeeeeease don't steal this bike! Please!" or "Three people were murdered on this bike. It is riddled with ghosts. Steal at your own risk." or "*drawing of an octopus that is so stunningly awesome that it distracts and dissuades thieves from their nefarious endeavors*."

Bike thieves are inhuman bastards.
 
I think I'll give Byron a stiffie:


Universal is preparing to start work on a Battlestar Galactica movie. Variety says the studio is planning to completely reimagine the sci-fi story — in which space-bound humans fend off the attacks of nefarious cybernetic Cylons as they try to find a new home — just five years after the four-season Syfy TV show drew to a close. The planned film would mark the second time Battlestar Galactica has been rebooted after the original show aired in 1978.

Jack Paglen, the writer of the upcoming Transcendence, has agreed to pen the reboot's screenplay. Paglen is a hot property for studios wanting to create sci-fi at the moment: he's also slated to write Ridley Scott's Prometheus sequel. Glen Larson, who worked on the 1970s TV series, will produce the film, but there's no confirmation yet on who'll take on the role of director. Bryan Singer was originally attached to a Battlestar Galactica movie project in 2011, but the production was put on hold in 2013 after the director committed to working on new X-Men movies. Having agreed to direct 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse, Singer is unlikely to have time to work on developing a new Battlestar.
Thank you!

But then, I wonder, why would you do that?

Alright if you don't answer, I was just wondering.

Do you know what's great?

I think of "Freedom State" every time.

And I want to be on the bus...

On the submarine I know my function: being a drunk XO and yelling at people so they get things done.

It's not so critical on the bus.
 
There was a guy, in Ken Kesey's "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test," who would sit in trees and write COBOL programs. I was in awe of that, because... really?

Who even writes in an obsolescent language, and why? And in a tree??

I got it later.

I'd like to catch one in the act some day so I can rant and rave and give him/her a right proper scolding. There are only two people in the world that I desperately want to yell at: this hypothetical bike thief and Jenny McCarthy.

I have a story about a man who tried to steal my phone. It's a great story. I'll tell it to you over a beer sometime.

Oh, thank you! You know, I was actually intending to change it because I think that life is more fun in flux, but I think I'll keep it for a while longer.

I love that movie. I watched it again a few weeks ago. On that bus, you get to write the story of your life. And I get to be president. That's great, too. And the holding hands, at the end. :heart:

I've been wanting to re-watch Primer and Upstream Color. I'll probably just get stuck on Primer though! I have this feeling that the next time I watch it, it's going to be three times in a row.

The lunatics here are the best lunatics I've ever met.

And, when she looks up at that moose head...

My God.

Her husband is completely satisfied with drinking beer and watching TV every night.

Who wouldn't want to escape it, and have an adventure.

"I think you need to sign in."

You'd love Australia. The people are all crazy and the animals all want to kill you, 'cept for the cute ones like wallabies and koalas and echidnas and possums and rosellas and roos and wombats and fairy penguins. Everything else wants to take you out.

We'll have to take the submarine to get there, though. Maybe we could fit the bus inside the submarine.

And, honestly, these beasts can't be stopped by anything but a rocket-launcher.

A shotgun will just make them angry.
