| Bullet Points of Shame |
 by Fëanor |
- Check it out, you could totally win a Star Wars pinball machine! They seem to have created this contest simply in order to trick us all into going back to see Revenge of the Sith again as many times as possible, even though you don't actually have to include a ticket stub with your entry to be eligible to win--a fact which they don't really advertise, but do include on the actual contest rules, the link to which they bury in the middle of the press release. Despite their fiendish trickery, I think I'll probably enter; I always loved that pinball game. I might even go see the movie again, just for the hell of it (so yeah, pretty much their Jedi mind trick worked on me--again).
- I think I mentioned already that I like the new NIN disc, With Teeth. I was listening to it again today, and I was enjoying myself, but I was also thinking how I really wish Mr. Reznor would write better lyrics. Right now, I'd say he's still at or around the college freshman level. I'd like to see him hit the graduate school level at some point. I also have to admit to myself that the music backing up the lyrics is also really pretty unimaginative and repetitive, though undeniably catchy. I guess I have to label the album a guilty pleasure, but it is a pleasure nonetheless.
- Okay, I must be getting all mushy in my old age, because this trailer totally made me almost cry. Seriously. That Dakota Fanning girl is a good little actress. *sniff*
- I must thank dje2004 for posting a link to the quiz below and giving me something to do for five minutes or so. As you can see, this quiz claims to determine your signature weapon. If it were asking about your ideal, fantasy signature weapon, as if you were a comic book or movie character, then I probably would have come out with a sword or a lightsaber or something. But I decided to answer the questions honestly, based on what I thought I would actually want to do and be armed with if I were going into a real fight. I also took into consideration the fact that I am a giant chicken and prefer to shy away from direct confrontations. Given all these factors, I feel this result is accurate and true:
Air Strike
You preferred a weapon with 67% power over speed and 78% range over melee. | | You use Air Strikes. Fighting? Fighting is for idiots! All you have to do is make a quick walkie-talkie call and have the ground ahead of you carpeted with explosive charges. Your enemies will be searching frantically for refuge as you chuckle from afar. |  |
My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 90% on power | | You scored higher than 91% on range |
