Ninjababe's Ramble

Thank you, may I have another?

OK... This show is just bizarre!

'Hit Me Baby, One More Time' is a NBC show where groups from the top ten lists of the past come onto a live show and not only do they play their hit song and a song from today, but they're voted on!!

Artists on the show: Wang Chung, The Knack, Vanilla Ice, The Motels, A Flock of Seagulls, Tiffany, and many more.

Oooo! I have to watch this just to see how the artists look now.

The official site of the show

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha! [hums 'I Ran']

Star Wars: RotS Forgetten moment...

I just remembered a problem I had with wardrobe in the movie.

Behind extended entry just in case...

I forgot!! Padme's sleepwear! How the hell do they expect a woman to sleep wearing three strings of pearls around her shoulders?!? That is not comfortable. And, hell, why didn't they make that an excuse to give her yet another costume change? It could've been her lounge wear for crying out loud! I don't think anyone could comfortably sleep with three strands of beads digging into their shoulder!

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

Rating: Except the last 45 minutes or so, C-. Last 45 minutes: B

Wooden acting, Lucas threw out major plot points from the first trilogy (Never mind the time line issues!)

Hayden Christensen did a good job on the transition to Darth Vader.

As Ith said leaving the theater, it's bad when the best actor in the film is Frank Oz, and he's just a voice.

Yes, I did enjoy it. Yes, I might go see it again. No, it wasn't as good as the original trilogy.

And, a few spoilers behind the extended entry link. Yoda is still a monkey on speed. Go Yoda Go!

I want my own lightsaber, but I want it purple!

A major-ish plot point the Lucas threw out: In Return of the Jedi, Leia states she remembers her mother, she was beautiful, sad, and died when she was young. So, what? Leia remembers the first half hour of her life?

And, Padme's death scene!!! "Boy!" "Luke... Arrrgh!" "Girl!" "Leia" [sniff sniff] [die] I think the actress's best scene in the movie was the funeral! She just had to lay there and look pretty

Yoda and the new training for Ben... What the...? So, he had to create a reason for Jedi to haunt people? "He gained true immortality." Sure... and I have a used lightsaber to sell you...

And, if you go by the end of this movie, the first Death Star took 18 years to be complete and fully operational. And, what, the second took 3 1/2 or so to be fully operational and half built? The Empire must have found some building viagra or something...

And, they really need to come up with a better training program for the clone soldiers. They go from being able to kill jedi to not being able to hit a farm boy, a droid, or hell, even a wall!

Lane's Mother... Gilmore Girls...

Ahhh! I think my brain just exploded.

Lane's mother just planned a rock and roll tour for Lane's band.

Lane's mother... Who insists that Lane is going to hell for playing in a rock and roll band, and living with two guys.

Oh, Denise's head did explode.

Does... not... compute!

TV Show turned into Movies...

So, Ith and I just saw the preview for Bewitched.

It got us talking about other TV shows that are probably going to be turned into movies.

Like... A-Team!

Denise told me that George Clooney is rumored to be Hannibal.

Then, I started thinking about Face... I totally icked Denise out by yelling out, "Leonardo DiCaprio!"

It took her a few minutes to stop going "Ewwwwwww!"

Then, we decided that Orlando Bloom would be a good Ace.

Or, to continue the trend, she suggested Katee Sackhoff, who plays Starbuck in remake of Battlestar Galactica.

Hah! That would be funny!

MUST... STAY... AWAKE... [snore]

I’m at work.

The pharmacist got tired of soft rock.

The only other station we can listen to?

Classical.

Don’t get me wrong, I like classical music.

But, it’s putting me to sleep!

If only I didn’t work downstairs, in the public area, on weekends. I could be blasting Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots, Louis the XIV, and all the other good stuff that’s played on the local alternative station. But, no, I have to work in the main pharmacy, I can’t work in my lab. [pout]

It doesn’t help that there’s nothing to do as we’re usually slow, and some one decided to come in for a few hours for extra time.

Rat bastard.

Back to cutting Lord of the Ring daily calender pictures for my collage!

She Speaks!

Sadie, the oh-so-cute daughter of Deb & Jay, spoke!

It reminds me of my first words. I'm not positive of what my first word was (it was either Mommy or Daddy), but my second or third word was...

Everyone brace themselves...

Shit.

I kid you not.

My father said that he and my mom found me bouncing up and down in my playpen, hitting the side, saying "Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!"

Oh, did my dad get into trouble!

So, Jay, Deb, be very very careful! You never know what munchkins will say! :)

I don't have to clean!

My boss at work wrote me a note today. It's a note stating that I never have to clean the bathroom again because, quote, "I need her for compounding medications. We do not need her to breathe in toxic fumes."

Ahh... Resting in a lounge chair, margarita in hand, here I come!

:-)

BTW: When I showed the note to Denise, she just snorted and handed it back.

I still have to clean the bathroom [pout]

Obey Me, You Will

This weekend, I slit my finger open while cutting open a box.

From past experience (Yes, it's happened before. In the same exact spot even), I know that I have to wear a bandage on my thumb while sleeping, or bad things happen.

So, in the dark last night, I grabbed a band-aid.

It has Yoda plastered all over it.

At work today, I'm waving my thumb at people and saying things like, "Give me coffee, you must." and "Give me money, you will."

So far, the coffee one worked once (The boss bought us coffee today. Yay!), but I'm still working on the money one.

And, I'm finding out about how much people know about Star Wars. Some people don't get it...

Waves thumb. "Give me money, you must!"
"Huh?"
Sighs. "Look at my thumb."
"Alright... It's a green guy."
"Yeah, Yoda."
"Who?"
"The little green guy from Star Wars? The one who talks funny? 'See the future, I do. Interesting, it is.' That guy."
"Oh yeah... Alright, try it again."
"You ruined my joke!" Stomps off.

Then, there's one coworker who started a Star Wars conversation when I waved my thumb.
"I saw that movie this weekend."
"Which one?"
"Ummm... the one where he dies."
"Where who dies?"
"Yoda"
Incredulous: "You mean Return of the Jedi?"
"Yeah. It also had Jabba in it."
"You don't know which movie is which? Man..." Walks away, shaking head.

[waves thumb at people] Paypal me money you will. Or, unhappy you will be!

Food!

We had a potluck lunch at work for Cinco de Mayo yesterday.

The most popular food?

Not burritos.

Not carnitas.

It was lumpia and pancit, both Filipino food. Mmmmmm...

My Hero!

She says what she means, usually in the most tactless way possible.

She can hack international servers with abandon.

She's bossy.

She only takes shit from Jack Bauer. And, even then, she talks back.

Oh, did I mention she shoots a mean automatic rifle?

Who do I mean?

Expand to find out!

Chloe!

(Pictures via DVD version of 24 epsiode 1 AM - 2 AM from my friend Jen, who was oh so gracious to tivo it for me when I had VCR issues)

I was going to turn this into a wallpaper, but I used up all my creative juices just getting the damn shots. Took over an hour to reload the program onto my computer, and get just the right shot. (It's at 42:59 or so minutes in the epsiode when there are no commercials, just so you know).

I have all the luck...

So, I drive into the parking lot were Carl's Jr is. Also, in the same parking lot, there's a discount cigarette store, a Hollywood Video, and an Advance America. It's a fairly small parking lot. It can hold 30 cars or so.

Since I can't use the drive thru because I'm using an ATM card, I needed to find a parking space. So, I'm looping around the first row of cars and I see a spot, right in front of the Advance America.

Then, I see movement in front of the discount cigarette store, which is next to Advance America.

It's two cops, guns drawn.

It looks like someone is robbing the Advance America.

OK! I'm not going to even try parking in that spot!

And, since there was a third cop hidden behind a car halfway down the parking lot with his gun drawn, I decided not to have Carl's Jr and went back home.

Knowing my luck, I would've been leaving Carl's Jr and get taken hostage or shot or something.
