If you saw ME in a police car, what would you think I got arrested for?

Answer me in the comments.  Let's see what kind of crimes I get accused of!

Wow

What a cool trailer!




I love the editing at the beginning of all the other Pixar flicks.

Wow

Hah!

Rubi just about snorted Gold Fish crackers out her nose when I showed her this most awesome baby onesie.

Hah!

Nice timing...

Awwww, his grandma just died. Let's vote for him instead!


Oy.



ETA: The BBC is even asking The Question.

Nice timing...

Be un-geek-ily productive

A recent post at Lifehack.org listed a few ways to be productive without being an uber-geek.

 

Use a big paper calendar.  The article mentions using it to organize a house full of kids.  Hey, that's us! We tried the big family calendar. It was really nice having everything everyone was doing available at a glance.  However, actually getting up and writing in things on the calendar really just required too much effort (I'm lazy. I'll just look on my Google calendar).

 

Print drafts.  The article says it's a good way to catch typos.  Yep. I've discovered this at work.  No matter how many times I've proof-read something on the computer screen. As soon as I've decided it's perfect and print off my "final" version. Once it's off the printer, I find a mistake somewhere.  Another good tip is to have someone else read over your stuff to catch mistakes.

 

Go to a real show or concert.  Yes, this is often quite rewarding.  There's nothing like the adrenaline rush of being at a live show, the emotional charge of seeing the performer(s) really giving it their all, and maybe throwing in a new twist since it's live - something a recording can't catch.  Of course, if you go see your favorite band, and their live song starts skipping in the middle of the 1st verse... well, they can always give the awards back.

 

Step away from the computer.  I really like this one.  I've been on a big reading kick lately.  I've always loved to read, but a bunch of books have come out recently that I really want to read, and I'd much rather do that than sit in front of a computer screen. 

 

Of course, the article these came from focus on the benefits in regards to personal productivity; I focused more on just personalizing them. 

 

There were a couple of other tips mentioned in the article for ungeeking, but I just chose the few that I had experience with.

I'm a little over an hour late, since technically it's November 1st now.  But here are my answers to the latest M.C.F.A.T.

 

1) Do you like Halloween? Why or why not?
Not really.  There's the whole communing with the dead thing, and then there's the begging aspect...

And then there's the ugly spiders.

2) What is your favorite sound effect?
I love the old transformation sound effect from Transformers G1.(Or was this supposed to be a Halloween sound effect?)

3) How do you feel when studios recast roles to different actors in sequels to popular films?

Depends. It works for the Bond franchise. But it really killed the Jack Ryan movies (Harrison Ford was too old and that other guy -Affleck?- was too young). 

4) Fire or Ice?
...you think you got it all figured out
You're an expert in the field, without a doubt

SPECIAL BONUS QUESTION: Who is Zsaji?

I cheated and used wikipedia.  So I'll make up something! Zsaji is Chachi's evil twin.
