What’s better than one Leia in a bikini?

I bet I’ve played more Lego Rock Band than you have.

Here are my beginner’s tips:

1. Watch the opening video. Of course. It’s awesome!
2. Play We Will Rock You on free play to check your calibration first. Mine was just fine. Maybe it loads from your RB2 prefs, I dunno. And you really want to play We Will Rock You first, don’t you? You get to see brick Brian and brick Freddie rockin’ out.
3. They keep talking about a Manager for the band, but you can’t hire one in the office. Go get some stars, you lazy plastic thing, you.
4. There is an amazing assortment of easy levels to play the game including… get this.. AUTOMATIC KICK PEDAL for the drummer! Everybody is a star, baby.
5. Generally speaking (salute), it’s a lot like RB2. But with Legos, of course. All your downloaded songs are available for free play or playlists.
6. You may be jaded like me and think there’s nothing else cool about Rock Band, but Lego Rock Band will PROVE YOU WRONG!

Height issues.

Why is Mickey, a mouse, as tall as Donald, a duck? Why is Goofy taller than both of them? Especially when Pluto is so short?

Megan Fox is smart.

She’s sitting in a room with lots of books. Look again, you can find them. It’s like Waldo.

Auto-tuned Carl Sagan.

Yes, I hate auto-tune as much as you do. But this is mysteriously cool. Featuring Stephen Hawking.

Today was a good day.

Some days are better than others. From a work standpoint, three good things happened for me today.

An idea for a game that I brought in was well received by my co-workers. I’d go as far as saying one or two of them are excited about it.

I also write stories as part of my job, and two different storylines I wrote were given thumbs-up from two different folks outside the company.

So when I have a day when three things at work go very poorly, I’m gonna think back to today and remember a day when three things when very well.

I can’t fault this logic.

Esquire says that Kate Beckinsale is the Sexiest Woman Alive. I like it when she shoots guns in movies.

Men don’t really have any other magazine that counts, so it’s hard for me to disagree with Esquire. Besides, first they rule out all the dead women, so making the choice is simpler.

Why is Kate sexier than Megan Fox? Because 36 is sexier than 23.

Why is Kate sexier than Bayonetta? Because Kate is real. I do know the difference.

I find myself, after some consideration and research and deep thought, in complete agreement.

So, which is it?

MAY-guhn or MEH-guhn?

Electro-plasmic hydrocephalic genre-fiction generator.

Okay, I love these web generator things. I can waste a lot of time with this stuff.

Here’s my Talk Like a Pirate Day version.

A sea dog says ‘t this way:

I struggled through th’ DaVinci Code. Th’ book, that be. I howled an’ screamed at th’ bad writin’ all th’ way. Looks like I’m nay th’ only reader who thinks Brown be a lousy writer. Excerpt follows, but ye ortin’ ta really read all 20 in th’ article. These things made me hade spin.

19. Th’ Da Vinci Code, chapter 83: “Th’ Knights Templar be warriors,” Teabin’ reminded, th’ sound o’ his aluminum crutches echoin’ in this reverberant space.

“Remind” be a transitive verb – ye need t’ remind someone o’ somethin’. Ye can’t jus’ remind. An’ if th’ crutches echo, we know th’ space be reverberant.

I jus’ wish I could write that bad an’ sell that many books…
Ya swabbie!
