APOLLO!

AAAAAAAAAAH the worlds have imploded and judgement is about to rain down upon thee, prepare your umbrellas, for plagues of frogs await!
by which i mean, look :

APOLLO! from lost!
do do do do do do do do! (twilight zone do-dos)

got it from forbidden planet (anyone who thought i made it myself has a unnecessaryly low opinion of me)
you need a password to get one
an i go into the shop in Cov and its all shifty like;
Me (in husky voice) : got any apollo bars?
Shop Keep : glances around shiftyly : whats the password?
Me : ###### #######
Shop Keep : Nope
Me : Damn
Half an hour later when I find the new one
Shop Keep : classic questioning look with raised arms et al.
Me : ##### ######
Shop Keep : Hooray!

It was great tho you may of had to be there to see the fun.
I think i need to be a private eye now - all stealth an danger (awesome)

I am the last shreds of Dougs sanity

a combination of mind (and butt) numbing work and "alternate" reality games are bringing me to the edge of crazy.
i got 8 hours a day of repetative form filling and box checking visit the red box apperciation society on facebook for more info.
but then i get the lost experience email from rachel blake
APOLLO bars!!!! arrrghh!!!!1
will post more on saturday if i can get one - depend on how many lost experience geeks are in the coventry area. one to ponder that is

Snakes On A Plane!!!

Its fantastic, thank god
i was concerned it would suck after all the excitement leading up to it but i absolutely loved it.
at the cinema i normally prefer to sit silently an let the film get on with it but our entire group felt the need to join in with the movie this time, warning people on the screen to watch out for the snakes by their feet, in their bags and under their clothes, and loadly uh-oh-ing when a guy unzips his fly as the snakes get loose (crotch shot).
i never claim to have a refined taste in movies (good taste, yes, but refined? nope) and i think what i really liked was the way you could actually see most of it coming, from the guy un-doing his fly (snakes are achieveing crotch domination) to the nasty british guy getting what he deserved. and the bits i didnt see where so hilarious i loved them too! dont want to spoil them but the steward... at the end... i was in tears it was so funny.
Sam Jackson was a whole barrel of awesomeness and i just know when things start frustraiting me im gonna be yelling "THAT IS IT, I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE M_________ING SNAKES ON THIS M_________ING PLANE!"
awesome,
awesome to the max

Snakes On A Plane!!!!!

MY BUISNESS IS DONE (technically a spolier)

I have solved it!
yes yes yes yes the question that has plagued me for the last year or so has finally been solved
not fermats last theorem, world peace or cold fusion,
no its "which episode of something or film is it where some girl has a rule book an when she leaves at the end she gives the boy a copy of it?"
this question of course being swiftly followed by chris and alexs question of "what is doug talking about now?"
an i have solved both!
its star trek the next generation season 5 (according to wikipedia) in an episode called "the game" where riker brings a game (see picture) onto the enterprise as wesley comes to visit he hooks up with ashley judd whos an engineer. and shes the one with the rules and wesleys the one she gives them to. AH HA take that universe +1 memory.

More Blogging-ness

ok so i forgot exactly what the point of my firefly blog was. never mind MORE BLOGGING
over here in the uk im used to not getting all the cool tv related stuff that the yanks get not a problem ive come to terms with it and if i really wanted it id figure a way out some how.
but ive been keeping up with the lost experience (the online lost world thats really breaking down my seperation between reality and tv - they call it alternative reality) i say keeping up i dont actually try i just read other ppls notes on whats going on. but i know the jist.
but i was in leam an went to waterstones (more on my never ending quest for the firefly companion vol. 1 later) and down at the bottom of new releases shelf i see a book with sand on it - im like wait a second and it turns out to be bad twin! (dun dun daaa!)
bad twin being the book "written" by a passinger on the plane in lost, id seen it was out in america but it took huge amounts of doug restraint not to run screaming from the store upon finding it over here.

Firefly

Yep I'm a Browncoat.
was a bit of a trekky (not dress as a Klingon, "err in episode 86 when you routed tachions through the phasers using the deflector wouldnt that desroy the warp engines?" kinda trekky. more a "ah the one where they all become monkeys, i like this one" kinda trekky
but then last year, i got the firefly boxset and after a couple of episodes i got hooked, loved the movie (even went all the way to Edinburgh to see the premiere) . I'm sad its gone and like most firefly fans I'll be cursing Fox from time to time or getting very excited when any of the actors do anything.

Just a heads up.

New Blog

yes its new, my new blog.
Having given up on myspace as i dont have broadband here i have swiched to this which Chris suggested.
Brought on by boredom and Chris' lack of updates i bring you this blog, which i shall now forget to update.
The whole audience may only be Chris and Alex but hey, that makes me no less enthusiastic about it.
I will blog significant movie news/links (significant to us so dont be dissapointed if intelligent movies get ignored) and Doug lists, so i dont forget or can look back in a month and call myself an idiot.
