Hooray for Santy Claus!

Found this at the bookstore today. Not only is it a copy of the movie Santa Claus Conquers The Martians on DVD (one of the worst movies ever made!), it has the novelization by Lou Harry as well. Oh sure, I could simply download the movie off the net, it is in the public domain after all, but then I wouldn't have this cool book to go along with it! I think my niece and nephew will get a kick out of it. As a kid I really liked the movie. Boy, it sure didn't age well! However, along with the MST3K version, I think this makes one hell of a unique set! smiley_wink

Shearing of the lamb

This is a picture of Samantha at her 2nd haircut. She sure looks happy doesn't she? What you don't see are any pictures of her first haircut. That was given to her by Evan over the weekend. D'oh! Never a dull moment over at that darn Kellener household!

Shark bait!

OK, so I bought myself one toy while doing some Xmas shopping. Found the Griffin radioSHARK super cheap. In the past I had used my old boombox and some software to record off the radio. Not the greatest, but it worked... sort of. Now with this, it's all hooked up through USB. No power cables needed. Tried it out this morning. It automatically recorded the KROQ morning show and dumped it right into iTunes. Sweet!

So now if Jerry ever gets a gig on a local L.A. radio station, I'm all set to record it! So when you comin' back Jerry?

Flux is good!

What more can I say? Thank God for Charlize Theron's DNA! I just don't mean for those amazing looks either! It's all part of the cool story line in the film Æon Flux. It takes place 400 years in the future in a utopian city known as Bregna, the last city on Earth . I didn't really care much for the original animated version of Æon Flux. While it had some great layouts, I thought the designs were really ugly. The fact that it used to run on MTV's Liquid Television didn't help either since they used to break up episodes making it really hard to follow the story.

The new live-action film is surprisingly good. It's got a great look, cool sci-fi story, interesting characters, cool effects and one amazingly hot star. Yes, she looks good in black! I'd recommend seeing this film. You may be pleasantly surprised!
