Two things;

Man is arrested for driving under the influence… of porn.

And Weekend Update, reporting on the court ruling that teachers could continue to use the word “evolution” when teaching biology in Georgia, said that as a compromise, dinosaurs would now be refered to as “jesus horses.”

Pam!

February 19, 2004, 1:47 pm

Pam Hyatt, to give you a little background, did voices on Homeworld: Cataclysm. As one of the designers I was one of the people involved in the auditions, actor selection, and overseeing production and that’s how I met Pam. Pam’s been acting for a long while and suffice to say that when she’s around there’s no shortage of conversation.

After Cataclysm Pam and I kept in touch and then in my usual style, I lost track of Pam. Her email changed and I decided that I was going to have to try and contact her though her talent agency, but Pam found me. Hooray!

Pam has been busy lately with a lot of voice acting and a commercial for Mario Kart: Double Dash (you’ve probably seen it - the one with people on airport carts tossing luggage at one another.) and she’s in an upcoming production of
The Tempest at the Jericho Art Center
. I’m going - join me, won’t you?

It’s sucks.

I’m my own worst editor - Gord posted my Fraiser review and it’s chockful of half finished sentances and improper use of the apostrophe in possesive “its”. Bah humbug.

The Newsroom

February 16, 2004, 2:22 am

I expect there will be a review of mine for the Frasier season 2 DVD in the next few days, but I only just realized that in a slow point, Gord at TVShowsOnDVD.com posted my old Newsroom review, which I did without his request, just because I wanted to hype the show more. It took months and months and a slow week (possibly as CBC grease, what with the new series running), but he posted it. Neat!

Tremors 4 is a fine, fine TV calibre movie - if it honestly does come with a special edition Tremors 1 DVD as a bonus (the one I rented did), I think I may just buy it, and then ignore 2 and 3. To Live and Die in LA is awesome and Returner, some new, heavily advertised, Japanese sci-fi action movie I was intrigued by, was so-so. It started out ok, but by the end just sort of fell apart - and along the way it managed to basically do everything we’ve ever seen in other sci-fi movies - there are bits that are everything from Terminator to Close Encounters of the Close Kind.

I’d sum it up as “Bjork is sent into the past to save the future from idiot gangsters who start a war with robot aliens.” There, you don’t have to see it now. You’re welcome.

Whew

February 14, 2004, 1:45 am

Busy day - from the usual morning flurry of email to take care of, to downtown to buy a birthday present (Happy Birthday Moses!), then out to Metrotown for Playdium, then cake, ice-cream, home-made pizza and a round of Zombies!!! Then city hall to drop off an item, home to drop off my stuff, downtown again to see some friends of friends at Yuk Yuk’s and now home for a late snack and Tremors 4 (which, surprisingly, isn’t sucking too hard yet.)

And my first Bottom Shelf review in months is up at IGN. Huzzah.
