Lee is so virginal

Pia has converted over to the cult of Battlestar Galactica.

I’ve started watching season two and am hoping to catch up before season 3 starts in October. It’s one of the best shows period and I come to each episode with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness about what is going to happen because I feel so deeply for each of the characters – even the ones that are screwed up (Tigh, I’m looking at you!).

The depth and realism to the show and the characters is what makes Battlestar Galactica so amazing. And it’s a frakking sci fi show for goodness sakes!

And if you’re wondering about the title, it came from a discussion Pia and I were having about when Starbuck and Apollo were going to GET IT ON. She said “He’s saving himself for Starbuck and that makes Lee virginal” Mwahahaha.

"Sidebar" Widgets

I’ve been playing around with widgets and they’re fantastic – you can drag and drop stuff that you want to appear in your sidebar without having to go into your themes to edit the html or wordpress tags.

This is great for theme designers who want to give users more functionality on the content that they want to display.

But why relegate your widgets to the sidebar only?

You can potentially use them everywhere! Right now my “listening to” and search modules are widgetized. Change your css and update your functions.php file to allow multiple sidebars and your options are endless!

It's A Bird, It's A Plane…

Pia and I have seen Superman Returns TWICE already and I’m itching to see it again!

It’s a wonderful movie – Bryan Singer’s love for the story is really evident and though the movie is nearly 3 hours long I barely felt it pass.

And yes, Brandon Routh is great as Clark Kent/Superman. I never thought I’d say this but he has such sexy hair 🙂

Double Trouble

Another day, a new theme. This time something simple featuring Mac Taylor and Danny Messer of CSI: New York. I’ll be implementing the sub-pages in a little bit. If you see anything out of place, just leave me a comment.

The Omen

The mark of a good movie is when you can watch it with the minimum of commentary. Unfortunately The Omen isn’t one of those movies because Pia and I spent pretty much the entire time giving our comments on it. Not all of them good.

Case in point, when Robert Thorn (Liev Schrieber) learns that his child has died and a priest at the hospital offers an orphaned baby to him, saying “God will forgive this little deception”, I was thinking, “What kind of priest says that?! Thorn! Head for the hills!”

And even with the growing evidence that something was not quite right with Damien, Thorn still didn’t tell his wife about his “little deception”. Confess you fool! Tell her, “I’m sorry honey but I brought the son of Satan into our home”.

There were some creepy moments – Mia Farrow as the nanny is wonderful here. She really brought a sense of unease that was lacking in much of the movie. But on the whole it wasn’t that scary. Liev Schrieber was fine but I found Julia Stiles to be ineffectual. And the kid who played Damien…he just needed to stop looking so constipated.

Forever and a Day

It’s been months since my last update because I have been busy and really didn’t feel like writing about what’s going on in my lil corner of the world.

Since I last posted, I discovered another movie that is worse than Bloodrayne…Ultraviolet. A jumbled mass of bad acting, poor script and special effects that depended too much on soft blur. Milla Jovovich is no award winning actress but she was decent in Resident Evil but here in Ultraviolet she as just lame.

I discovered the joy of Firefly. Have since converted Pia, Julius and hopefully soon Rabang over to the cult of the Sci-fi Western.

Our farm project down south is almost complete. It’s been two months of incredible heat despite Pia’s pictures to the contrary

The office also went to Cebu over the weekend. We left Friday evening and were back by Sunday morning. As fun as the trip was, you need more than a day to explore Cebu. We went to Magellan’s Cross, the Basilica, Fort San Pedro and the Taoist Temple. Note: Do not carry heavy backpacks when you have a perfectly good hotel room for storage. By the time we were done at Fort San Pedro we were sweating bullets!

As my souvenir from the trip I bought a small guitar, or as Pia likes to call it, a GIT-TAR.

Now I’m back and working on changing the layout of this place.

Bloodrayne is the WORST videogame movie adaptation

I’m not stating that lightly. The only good thing I can say about Bloodrayne is that it is only slightly better than The Ninth Gate which I found to be atrocious and a waste of movie fest time.

And it’s not even that Bloodrayne is soooo bad that it’s good – it’s so bad, it’s laugh out loud funny. The storyline made no sense, the lines were corny, the actors looked dead and there were some pretty good actors in the cast.

I mean Michael Madsen, Ben Kingsley! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?

Kristanna Loken who made a wonderful Terminatrix was terrible here – totally lacking in coordination and her court jester-type pants were so distracting.

Though most distracting thing is a toss up between Michelle Rodriguez’s accent and Ben Kingsley’s right hand man who looked kinda cross-eyed that instead of feeling scared of the evil henchman we were all laughing.
