Had dinner at Uncle Vito's with the usual suspects. Has a slice of pepperoni and sausage, but also tried something new by having a slice with meatball and garlic. I mean, garlic powder on your pizza tastes good, but actual minced garlic tastes even better.

TV commentary:

Heh, browsing youtube, I guess you really can find any cool action sequence on there. I think I've said before that "The Hunted" is an underrated movie. And I thought it was neat before I learned Tommy Lee Jones' character was based off of Tom Brown, whose book we had to read for "Body, Mind, and Spirit" class in high school. While not technically an action sequence, I always thought the Training Flashback was really cool. I guess when you need to put a guy down, you need to put him down good, but still, it seems like overkill! Heart, carotid artery, disembowelment, heart again+spine, groin, then brain? Or weapon arm, heart, both femoral arteries, then lung? I guess its unpossible to survive all of those together, so its the best way to be sure they're dunzo. Apparently the style used in the movie was Filipino Kali, but I don't think it was straight Kali, it seemed like there was a little brazilian ju-jutsu thrown in there as well. But Flips know knife fighting. After all, the etymology of the Marine nickname "Leathernecks" was because the Marines started having to wear straps of leather around their neck to avoid the Filipinos' adept throat cutting (I wonder if that's why "throat cutting" is my go-to threat?) techniques when the US and the Philippines had that little tiff in 1898.

But while I'm on knife fight sequences, two of my other favorite action sequences involving knives from video games or movies is 1) Danny Trejo as the knife wielding assassin in Desperado and 2) The Krauser-Leon knife duel from Resident Evil 4. The latter looks cool, and is one of the awesomer sequences to play through in any video game, ever.

Oh, and if you have your enemy in your crosshairs, its shoot, then quip, not quip then shoot. If you waste your time babbling, his ally will sneak up behind you and take you out before you take him out!

Getting back to Body, Mind, and Spirit class in high school, one of my high school nemeses, Trish was in that class. Its a story! )

I can't remember what I was reading that had me look up last year's PMOY (and I guess current, since the 2008 one hasn't been voted yet, I don't think), Sara Jean Underwood. (link NSFW, and can you guess which of those pics is my favorite? I'm so messed up!) She's pretty cute, I think. I remember back in the day, I used to be able to name every Playboy Playmate of the month, their measurements, likes and dislikes, etc. I prolly couldn't tell you any Playmates after say 2001 or so. I don't know if its because the pictorials are only slightly more titillating then a Maxim spread since they show a little bit more and I could find more "egg-citing" things off the internet, or the girls were of a certain type and I wanted more variety. In any case, it is kinda messed up that I don't know anything about Playboy Playmates anymore, but I could give you details about some random teen to early 20s actress. I mean, it could be some girl who isn't even "effin' famous" by my definition of the phrase, but I could name like the eps of every crime procedural she was in. Ah, if there was only a job where I could put my knowledge of hotties, TV shows, movies, guns, and cars to good use.

Anyways, more Thursday night TV commentary:

Supernatural )

Sci-fi rules #432: If you're part of a space military/exploratory force, and you get stranded on some backwoods planet with a quaint little farming village, and you meet some Amish-Luddite cutie who's trying to get in your pants and wants you to live out the rest of your life with her and normalcy, and you're debating on whether to retire early to the easy life (not that farming is easy, but easier than fighting galactic empires or other space horrors!), or keep hoping your friends find you, the best thing to do is to choose the peasant life with the farm girl! This is because as soon as you choose to settle down and give up on being a space explorer, THAT'S when your friends frickin' find you! So then you have to be all sad and conflicted on whether to go back or continue being some ordinary loser. But if you accept the ordinary loser life immediately, you'll get found quicker and you also don't get too invested in the life so you won't feel so conflicted when you have to choose! ojv('Man, its obvious!')
