Procrastination Station...

Today's Procrastination Station, will feature a very fun bit... YAHOO!

Yes, today's random bits shall be shown to you from the very strange section of news from the web. I will randomly be clicking news articles and such today to share with you. So now without furthur adeu, might I show you: NEWS OF THE WEB-B-B-B-B!

(So I was beign dramatic...)

Let's start with story number one:

I like coffee just as much as anyone. As a matter of fact, if I could own the most amazing coffee maker in the world, I would! However, I also like ambiance. Sometimes, drinking joe in my living room, or the office, or while I am playing my newest addiction otherwise known as Skyrim, just doesn't work. I need a place where I can laugh and talk aloud with people I don't know, or just people watch. Well thank you Tukwila, WA, cause you have just made my day with your new Starbucks.


Story number two:

Stange Cars. These cars were to be autioned off at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Ariz. Now, you must be thinking, I've seen it all. I have watched "Back to the Future" and I know that the Delorian tops all! (Speaking of which, I saw one while I was out at the silver diner the other day... I should post photos!) Some of these are funny, while others are just plain wierd.

Story Three:

Ahh, the movies. You want to go see a movie with me? Let's go then! That will be 12.50 for movie tickets, unless youw ant to see it in 3D; then it might be anywhere between $15 to $20. Oh, did you want snacks? Anywhere from $4 - $15. It's getting to be expensive to see a movie these days. Who wants to see a movie that has heart and soul? Hmm? No one? well phoey on you, let me tell you something wild. Sundance, the world's word for indie film making is where a lot of the movies that you shell out for like to come from. Here are some movies that I would never have guessed about come from...

Story Number Four:

This is totally about bathroom humour, but not the kind tha you think. This is all about the oldest bathrroms from teh 19th century... and it's still running. FUN AND JOYSOME! Check it out, it's mildy engrosing and comes with photos of the bathroom to.

Story Number Five:

I've always wanted a cape. Not neccesarrily an invisibility cape, but one that swishes with supervillian style. Well the cape that is a part of this artical is not a supervillian cape, but indeed awesome. This is a gold cape that has been made out of spider silk. You heard correctly, and on top of that, I would recomend that you use the same madagascar spiders to create it. These spiders make thread that comes out in a golden safron color. Don't worry - they don't bite... hard. Still, PETA is all up in arms about it, but then again, when are they not all up in arms?

Story Number Six:

Not so much a story as a collection of apps that I have been playing and testing out because they are FREE!

Check them out...

So those are some of the things I have been looking at while I should have been typing teh next segment of Amaretto's tale. However, can you blame me? Sometimes, we all need a little Procrastination.

Until Next Time!

The Start of Quote Week...

I have decided to do a quote week while I redo the new site. So to begin:

"Write in recollection and amazement for yourself."

      -Jack Kerouac

Time Travel to the Past...

So I am currently watching Terra Nova...

So I am loving this show. For starters, the future at that is shown to be at the beginning of the 22nd Century is actually a real posibility in some cases and the way that they show it with the breathers and the dirty air is totally realizable. In some cases, some could argue the idea behind the future that we see for the first twenty minutes of the show could make for it's very own series, but that is not what this show is to be about.


The idea is simple. We messed up and now, due to a small gap in the time-space continuum, what they refer to as a tear in space, they are able to travel back in time, they are able to travel towards the past (the era unknown at first) to make a fresh start. The first part is understandable, however, once they make it though, breaking the law in order to do so, the next part is a little unbelievable. Due to having a third child, and thus breaking population laws, the Father is thrown in jail. He breaks out and they do find out in the new colony. Once it is determined that they can't do anything about it, the chaff is soon shown.

The brother is soon shown to be suffering from what I call "daddy issues". As if they couldn't make his character three dimensional. That however is not to be the best part in the first half hour. A few moments after the issues are shown to be the problem. A few moments later, the youngest child Zoey is shown to be meeting the first of the original denizens:

Dinosaurs.

They could be Brontosaurus, but I believe the original name for them is to be Brachiosaurus.

The rest could be a strange and slightly underwhelming ordeal, if not somewhat predictable. I must say, the faction reminds me a little of the Fifth column from the original "V" series. I'm a little disappointed, but even with the "Jurassic Park" sentiments, it should turn out better I hope.

The Hiatus to Continue...

Yes yes yes... I know that it sounds rediculous. I am almsot done with the new site of the blog and everything. This will be fine. No worries. In the meantime, I have a picture and an article to show you:

I had a question not but two days ago in which a person liked the way that I described how Amaretto traveled and was curious about the bending of space-time-dimensional rifts and was curious as to how it looked. Today, I by pure chance came across a photo of what I partioally imagine sometimes as she travels. Here it is:

This image is brought to us curtesy of one of my favorite blogging sites: io9.

The article that I got this picture from is here.

That's really all today.
