I don’t usually do these things, but as Greg pointed out, this one IS pretty funny. Especially the name one. :-p

“Manos” The Hands of Fate
I just saw the Mystery Science Theater 3000 (aka MST3k) episode of “Manos” The Hands of Fate. It’s the THE BOTTOM of IMDB’s “Bottom 100″ list. You know what? I didn’t know it was possible to make a movie that bad. The music doesn’t match the scenes. The acting is completely unbelievable. The plot is supposed to be scary, and in a way it is, but not the way they intended. It’s listed as a thriller. Ha.
Here’s a basic summary. A guy, his wife, daugher (probably age 6 or so), and poodle try to go on a vacation. They get lost on their way and end up in this house, managed by a frumpy, creepy dude named Torgo. Torgo manages the house for “the master,” who turns out to be this other weird dude who sleeps on a slab of stone until awakened by…something? The dad has no presence of mind, the wife has no ability to defend herself, including the oh-so-difficult act of walking away from a creepy guy who is really slowly advancing on her. They stay at this place for like THREE DAYS without making any real attempt to leave, even after their poodle gets killed by some spooky wild beast in the first ten minutes of the movie. There are a whole bunch of scenes that feel completely out of place. There are these two cops who come upon two teenage lovers kissing in their car and tell them to leave. Three times. They have NO impact on the story.
You’d have to see it to appreciate it. I don’t recommend watching it without the MST3k commentary, which was hilarious. Without that, it would have been completely unbearable.
Ok, now back to something productive.
FWIW

Haha. That’s cool.
It was a dark and stormy night
It’s really dark and cloudy outside, like right before a big storm, except it’s not raining yet. It’s awesome. And I’m home all by myself!
…not that there’s anything extraordinary about that, it just doesn’t happen very often.
When Greg and I stopped at Del Taco to grab some dinner before his photography class, we saw this guy drying clothes out in a basket stuck behind his exhaust pipe. We were like… “um. ??” It was pretty weird. They’re going to smell pretty bad, I’m sure.
Anyway. I have some homework I should be doing, so bye.
Exportation
I’ve finished exporting my old journal (a very cool feature for anyone who wishes to keep a record), so now I’m all set.
I went for an hour-long bike ride today, totally out of the blue, because I felt like riding my bike. I haven’t used it for probably more than two years…maybe less, but a really long time in any event. I wanted to get some exercise, which I most certainly did. It was way fun, but my appendages might tell me different tomorrow. :-p I’ll probably take a nap today.
Spring break is here! I’m stoked. It will be nice to have some time to actually DO the homework, haha. heh. erm. yeah.
How to Destroy the Earth
My goodness. This page is absolutely awesome.
“This is not a guide for wusses whose aim is merely to wipe out humanity. I (Sam Hughes) can in no way guarantee the complete extinction of the human race via any of these methods, real or imaginary. Humanity is wily and resourceful, and many of the methods outlined below will take many years to even become available, let alone implement, by which time mankind may well have spread to other planets; indeed, other star systems. If total human genocide is your ultimate goal, you are reading the wrong document. There are far more efficient ways of doing this, many which are available and feasible RIGHT NOW. Nor is this a guide for those wanting to annihilate everything from single-celled life upwards, render Earth uninhabitable or simply conquer it. These are trivial goals in comparison.”
New username!
Cool. After actually asking the previous owner of this LJ username if I could have it…oh…probably at least a year ago (he hadn’t used it at all), I’m finally posting to it. I’ve used it for a while as a 2nd friends page, but what’s the point of that? I could have just added the other friends (mostly nerdy communities, lol) to the lithiumboy32 account. Oh well. This is easier to type, and remember. Now if only I could pull off the same switch on AIM, Yahoo, Hotmail, Netscape, and who knows how many other sites where I’ve used lithiumboy32. :-p
That’s why I’m also keeping the old user.
Anyway. Greetings to all.
