Wait, what was I saying?

[Error: unknown template qotd]

The first person I heard was Paul Rudd, usually phrased as "that guy from Clueless".

My wife says I look like Harrison Ford but she's biased.

A recent addition was Jeroen Krabbe

Pretty much you can go with any dark haired actor with a substantial chin and you'll probably see a resemblance.

If you ignore the plot, it's pretty entertaining.

Though it was interesting to see Marc Warren (a.k.a. Elton from Doctor Who: Love & Monsters as a tough guy in it.

So Matthew's a fan of Word World a cute little show with a catchy theme song about a world where everything is made up of the letters that comprise it. i.e. a dog will have the letters D, O, and G make up its body.

Throughout the episode they'll take the time to address some point of language and inevitably, "Build a word." Well on Sunday my wife and I got to thinking about just how incredibly dangerous and powerful this could be. My wife wonders if there's some sort of Darwinian instinct that keeps them from building plague or black hole. Meanwhile, I noted that they had an episode demonstrating that adding an S to a word makes it plural. Can you imagine the arms race in Word World if war ever broke out?

Can you tell it's a slow morning at work? I responded to morgeil on this one and never gave my response. Here it is

Comment on this post. I will choose seven interests from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so others can play along.

morgeil asked about the following:

anime - Shockingly, this actually predates darkwingjhu. My first memories of anime, though I didn't have that term or even japanimation in my head at the time, were waking up early on mornings in the late 70s to catch Star Blazers. From there I moved on to Tranzor Z, Voltron, and Robotech. The first time I caught something really thinking the term anime was probably Fist of the North Star in High School. Nowadays my wife, who was hooked by darkwingjhu, and I watch a lot of serials. Currently we're watching Black Cat and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

blues music - A small part of this came from my parents, but, perhaps like all children of my generation, my primary interest in blues music came from The Blues Brothers. It introduced me to many famous artists from blues' history and my collection has extended both backwards and forwards as I love just sitting there and listening.

roleplaying games - Let's see, I played my first RPG of Dungeons & Dragons when I was.. oh.. eight or nine maybe. I created a halfling (it's a class dammit!) named Hasscotch. But to be honest, I didn't really get into RPGing until I came to college and joined HopSFA.

gilmore girls - Despite their incorrect spelling, they do share my last name and I love witty banter. This series contains one of my favorite lines ever, which I'll paraphrase, "It was just like the first twenty-five minutes of Saving Private Ryan, except they got to go to France!"

freedom of speech - I picked this one up during one of the LJ censorship flaps. But if you're going to ask me which one, I can't recall. Obviously though, I support freedom of (truthful) speech.

tilly and the wall They're a band I heard about on NPR that doesn't have a percussionist. Well aside from the tap dancer. Lots of fun

kungfu - Aside from the films that my wife and I enjoy, during the early 2000s my wife and I joined a wushu school here called Jow Ga Kung Fu. The sifu is a former marine/now county police officer and a great guy who concentrates more on teaching than on selling tests or belts for advancement. It was a great way to keep fit before we had Matthew.

I didn't see it myself, I was too put-off by the car.

But Knight Rider is being commissioned for a series

Including on a friend's LJ. But still.. it must be distributed

So we kinda ended up watching tonight's first Torchwood episode (the repeat) on accident. It was pretty good which means three good episodes in a row to start the new season.

Damn...

I'm going to buy Torchwood Season 2 on DVD and then my completeness tendency will make me buy Season 1.

Damn.....
