shortpacked discusses the new actionless Battle Armor He-Man: sonictail : Oh well, I guess the only plus side is that he-man fans are used to taking it up the rear for quite some time now. weds : Between Ram-Man and Fisto, that's gonna happen. By the power of Grayskull, context lacks the power!

Back in Jan 2007 , I mentioned the Apple adverts ("I'm a Mac" ... "and I'm a PC"). As I said back then, I like the adverts, even though I disagree with them from a technical point of view. More recently, Microsoft have been running their own advert campaign. They did a set of adverts a few months ago which had various people saying "I'm a PC" : the idea was apparently to show a wide demographic...

So, what has happened in the last six months? --- I "failed" my winter teaching placement and had to repeat it in the spring instead of doing normal full-time student teaching then. Then, I failed it again. I am now scheduled to do the "winter style" placement a third time in the fall. If I perform up to spec I will student teach in the winter and then hopefully earn my teaching license. It took...

Running late to work. Didn't have time to hit the drive-through. Jumped into the Exxon and grabbed a Deluxe Lunchables (Ham & Turkey) and a 5-Hour Energy. Cracked open the Lunchable... to discover some unwelcome changes. Where's teh dijon mustard packet? How can you call this a "Deluxe" if there ain't no goddamned mustard? The wheat crackers have been replaced with another stack of Ritz-style...

shortpacked 's review: "GIANT ROBOTS. Everything else is nitpicking." And then there's this one. I doubt there will be anything meaningful I can add to this combination once I see the movie myself. :)

So, TransFormers: Revenge of the Fallen. I won't go into too much detail here, but... I liked it. Mind, I question whether or not I am any accurate barometer for anyone else to decide whether or not to watch the movie. Some things to note: For one, I seem to have low standards for movies. Rarely can I think of one that I really just don't like that I've seen. Street Fighter Alpha Generations comes...

Hey guys who wants a Transformers Biplane?

So, last weekend bandersnitch , girlydoll and myself attended the GI Joe con in Hamilton. The awesome comes after some lead in. First, I attended FCBD festivities at a local store. The problem was this store, whicha ppears to be visiting from 1988, does not accept debit or credit cards. I don't really carry much cash on me. So I ended up getting the Darkest Night prequel book (which...

On shortpacked , deriksmith makes a case for Sideways: Think about this image for a minute. You have a football player riding on top of a ninja with wheels dragging Excalibur along the ground to create sparks... ON THE MOON. This will be followed by jumping up off the moving ninja to sniktbub a passing helicopter. Context is more than meets the eye.

shortpacked sums up the meaning of Easter: 1) Die on the cross. 2) ??? 3) Prophet! Context tastes like chocolate.
