Giveaway

I posted the giveaway winner on my Facebook page.  Hooray for winning and all the coffees.

Now I actually have to remember to 1) build and 2) distribute my newsletter.  Oh Bre.

There is a scene in the 1987 classic film The Brave Little Toaster where appliances are claiming to be everything you wanted and more.  Let me see if the wonders of the internet have gif’d this…

…no such luck but I did find this

which is just as good. (Also there are apparently SEVERAL Brave Little Toaster sequels, even though Toy Story 3 is a total rip off.)

Anyway, my new years post was about how I am not ambitious and do not care to have these lofty aspirations.  I want to do my job so that I can get money so I can do blog giveaways and buy books and listen to albums and drink coffee and watch Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.  And yet a lot of precious brain cells are spent talking and thinking about work.  And so now I need to re-re-evaluate and shift my focus and remember to do more.

More of the shit I want to do.  It doesn’t mean skipping out on work because I need my moolah, and I can’t be at home all day anyway.  But just more enjoyment and less email checking maybe less shit giving? Something.  I need to prioritize my me time.

Brownlee made this picture for me that I have framed on over my desk.  It’s one of those pretty Pinteresty things but with Tyler Durden.

you are not your fucking khakis

Avengers: Age of Ultron

(Spoilers. Obviously.)

Speaking of movies, I think it’s been enough time that I can bitch about Avengers: Age of Ultron.  Let me preface this by saying I didn’t see Thor 2 or Captain America 2.  I just never got around to it because Iron Man 3 was on Starz too and I’d rather watch that than any other Avenger movie really.  And I don’t fandom enough to be like “well in Comic #154 Iron Man actually…”.  I get that people who do, I do, but I ain’t one of them.  But movies should be enough to stand as the thing it is and not have bonus features and comics and nerds to back it up.  Except Chris Evans.  When he has on that Captain America Under Armour chopping wood?! BRUH!

So maybe I don’t get the whole background of what Ultron is and I can’t even start on The Vision but like I was like this the whole movie.

If Ultron was supposed to be this great mind of artificial intelligence then why would they not spend more than a few blips of computer screen to show his creation?  Why wouldn’t they spend more time on that than storming a castle?  And why not spend more time on J.A.R.V.I.S. and The Vision?  And why is Paul Bettany always so…Paul Bettany? I knew it was him without even looking and I can’t even name any other Paul Bettany movies.  But I was not impressed with the villian.  And those twins?!  Quicksilver was better in X-Men: Days of Future Past.  And Scarlet Witch…I just didn’t care about her red eyes and blue breath.  I know the third installment will be epic.  It has to be.  But this one just didn’t do it for me.  I’d rather watch Kingsmen again.  And then go see Ex Machina because it seems like it will give you a reason to truly fear A.I. like we should.

 

And that concludes my nerd-out.

 

WRONG.
