To celebrate May the fourth be with you, we made Star Wars Sugar Cookies!! X-Wing, Millennium Falcon, Tie Fighter, and Death Star
And since its the cutest of the four cookie molds, here is a close up of the Death Star Cookie! (Yes I know its upside down, though an argument could be made that in space there is no right side up. =P)
Disney might not own Star Wars, but they sure manged to make magic together. Star Tours is one of Disneyland’s main attractions, but what makes it especially evil is that the ride exits right into the Star Wars Disney store. Check out all the stuff you need to walk past to get outside. I tried to be strong but didn’t manage to get out without spending. Totally evil genius marketing plan.

Watch the video, but be prepared for the geeky, because it is geeky awesome!
I sat down in the movie theater tonight unsure what I was about to watch. Science fiction and action my husband told me, two genres I am always up for watching.
The experience turned out to be quite entertaining; lots of action, good humor, compassionate story, and really good acting.
What I find interesting about this movie is that it is based on a 1917 pulp science fiction story by Edgar Rice Burrough. Both book and movie are about a man, John Carter, who gets mysteriously transported to Mars, where his heroic journey leads him to saving the planet. Though the story must have been updated a bit, it was written almost a hundred years ago, I am really curious to see how similar the movie and book are. Going to try and find a copy of the book to read now.
Saw this over at io9, there was supposedly an R rated version of Galaxy Quest. REALLY?!??!?! Someone please please please please release a directors cut.
Its supposed to have swearing and sex scenes! Boggles the mind really.
Maybe they released the full version in japan. Tentacles are a more commonly seen movie feature over there. =P
Well I have certainly put this one off for long enough. Here goes, the selection is a bit extensive. Sorry, time got away from me.
Also Facebook has been overloaded with Political hype (at least my friends list) so the pickings have become slim to non. Thus I’ve branched out. Moving from Facebook into the wide open internetz.

‘Best Game Ever’ song. We have all played with that someone like that. Its a little shouty but the lyrics are spot on.

I’m on a serious K-drama bender right now. And before you ask, I am not Asian, not even a little bit. So how did I develop a love of the Asian persuasion? I blame Transformers.
It would probably be more accurate to say that Transformers had me primed for the anime bug to sink its teeth deep into my soul. Win for Saturday morning cartoons.
Fast forward to my teen years, I watch Akira for the very first time. Am completely clueless about plot or storyline, but generally floored by the whole experience. Of course I immediately watch it again (finally figure out what the hell is going on) and am totally hooked.
Ninja Scrolls follows as well as a bunch of fabulous Chow Yun Fat movies. At this point selection is limited (I lived in a totally boondocks town, I’m shocked they even had Ninja Scrolls) so I make due with what I can find.
Forward a bit more, I finally make it to a city that has options. Am introduced to Escaflowne, Macross Plus, Gundum, Manga and much more.
Eventually I add in live action Japanese movies and various movies/shows based on manga I liked. This also introduces me to a bunch of K-dramas (Korean dramas) based on Japanese manga. And so the story unfolds.
Found this at a local Japanese store. I’m shocked they didn’t call this the Official Face Roller, but then the folks who named this probably had no idea. Yaay for engrish.
Next time someone in raid claims to be facerolling, I will know what (wtf?!) they are doing.
