We have some outdoor chairs with cushions that recently have started to fall apart. Thinking that they were designed as outdoor cushions, that I could leave them in the sun. Evidently the Arizona sun was not a part of the testing process. Thankfully, I’ve found an online outdoor cushion store to find exactly what I’m looking for in a cushion that will last a lot longer than the cheap cushion that came with the chairs. I’m looking at a woodland stripe.

Cushion time
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009We’re Dune-ed
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009There are rumors flying through the smog in Hollywood that there may be yet another crack at a Dune movie. The first one was an amazing, but sadly flawed, attempt to squeeze a monumental novel into a movie, even a long movie. The SciFi miniseries somehow didn’t fit any more of the book in a less than impressive version. If someone can do to Dune what Abrams did for Star Trek, then I will be first in line.
Dune is a truly epic story with so many important parts that a single movie will never be able to do it justice. I’m wondering if they can turn it into an amazing HBO series or a couple of movies.
<fingers crossed>
Purist Faucet
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Even though the economy is only just now starting to come back into a slightly more hopeful zone, it may be the perfect time to find a new faucet for your bath, sink, or kitchen. Or your faucet may just finally be too old to fix this time, and it’s high time to replace it. In any case here is a picture of one of my favorite faucets that I can hopefully get installed soon.
Meatloaf pie chart
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Get it! Meatloaf. Pie. Chart. Heh heh.
Anyway, below is a chart representing all of the things that Meatloaf would do for love.
In addition…
Subsets of what Meatloaf would do for love:
- Run right into hell
- And back
- Never lie to you (that’s a fact)
- Never forget the way you feel right now (no way)
- Be there ’til the final act
- Take a vow
- Seal a pact
- Hold you sacred
- Hold you tight
- Colorize your life
- Make it all a little less old
- Make you some magic
- Build an emerald city
- Give you something you can take home
- Cater to every fantasy you got
- Hose you down with holy water
- Take you places you’ve never known
Offer to do the above for love is valid as long as:
- The planets are turning
- The stars are burning
- Your dreams are coming true
- Wheels are turning
- Fires are burning
- Your prayers are coming true
Still won’t do:
- That
Exit Stage Left
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Stage right even
Every business has one thing in common. Big or small, successful or not, they all have exit signs. The internet is an excellent resource to find exactly what you’re looking for when you need a specific exit sign. If you need a lighted sign or braille, find just what you need to guide your customers safely out of your place of business. Hopefully, after they have made a purchase.
48 Hour Film Noir
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009There’s nothing quite as much fun as making movies. Making a movie in only 48 hours compresses the fun into one sleepless, exhausting weekend. It was our first experience with this kind of competition, and we certainly learned a lot. Hopefully, we can give it a go the next time the competition comes up and use what we learned this time to make an even better mini-flick.
The film genre we picked was film noir. That is a highly-stylized, crime drama genre most popular in the 40′s and 50′s that usually featured high contrast shots, strange camera angles, a femme fatale, and a detective.
