Warning, brain dump imminent
Aug. 6th, 2010 10:54 amSo house project is going well (MAD Props to the wife for majority of the work), living room walls and ceiling are done, trim is likely done when I get home tonight. Next are touch-ups to the 4 year old paint job in the kitchen and then onto the bathroom. And let me just add painting in dry heat sucks as the paint turns gummy all too rapidly.
Speaking of the wife, tonight is date night and we are going to see Agora for its last showing in our city. I have high hopes for this film as Hypatia of Alexandria is one of my historical heroes. It should be fun as long as they don't just focus on romance.
( And now I'm going to ramble about books a bit... )
And in the TV world, I have a new favorite reality show, hell it might even be my favorite TV show period! It's called The Colony (Warning for grossness (maggots and rotting meat) in the link) and the premise is this: What would you do in the wake of a global catastrophe? Even if you survived it, could you survive the aftermath?To find out they have bought 10 acres of abandoned neighborhood on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and dumped ten people to live there as they can for ten weeks.
They've already been attacked (by actors or scavengers, who knows?) and the trailer for next week makes it look like one of the people gets kidnapped. Serious shit folks.
What's funny is I'm watching this with my wife and we both are going, "Why are they spending so much time and effort getting electricity when they're food is running out? Why haven't they raided the Hunting Store? Why haven't they found baseball bats instead of those walking sticks with finishing nails for weapons? Why aren't they saving the gross rotting pig meat to throw onto the next group of people who attack them like burnign oil from castle walls?"
Apparently this is season two so how come no one has ever mentioned this show before?!?!?!
I think the producers need to wait until week 8 and then stage a zombie attack in the middle of the night just to fuck with the colonist's heads.
