Random Musings on a Thursday afternoon:
Loved the movie. Had nothing whatsoever to do with reality.
And be forewarned: It's a musical. I had no idea. I loved being surprised by that, but some people may be... er... less enthused. Just keep in mind that Hugh Jackman did Broadway before he became Wolverine, so he's really darned good for the role.
Anyway, I thought I had more, but I'm tired, and I have to go walk NobodysWife's co-worker's dog in just over an hour, so I need to rest up.
Happy Thursday, all!

I hate musicals.
I blame Julie Andrews.
I blame it being a stupid concept for a movie.
To this day I have yet to see someone break out into song when asked a simple question, like "how are you feeling" or the like.
Yes, yes, I know I have watched much less realistic movies, like fantasy, sci-fi, or the least realistic of all, stupid action flicks where a guy can fall ten stories and get back up and shoot people, but still...
Okay, it's just cause I hate musicals. You'd think they'd put good music in them, since the entire movie is based around the music, but it's always s+!#ty theater music. Nobody I know throws the soundtrack to Wicked on their phone.
Well, nobody I know anymore, and that girl was easily the craziest person I ever dated
Even Rock of Ages managed to take perfectly good hair metal and turn it into s+!+ty ass theater renditions of a pathetic excuse for hair metal. Ugh.

You clearly do not hang out with theatre geeks, then. It's less that it doesn't happen and more that you just don't spend time around the right crowd.

Last night we went to see The Greatest Showman, and we loved it (I give it a 1 beer rating solely because it does not have the rewatchability of 0-beer movies, but I was grinning ear to ear throughout), but hoo boy. Any resemblance to any characters, living or dead, is purely coincidental. It's pretty much someone looking up some details of P.T. Barnum's life on Wikipedia and then rewriting them to make for a more entertaining movie. Loved the movie. Had nothing whatsoever to do with reality.
And be forewarned: It's a musical. I had no idea. I loved being surprised by that, but some people may be... er... less enthused. Just keep in mind that Hugh Jackman did Broadway before he became Wolverine, so he's really darned good for the role.
Finished insulating and drywalling the garage door. 2 walls down, 4 to go. And it's only been a year! By the time Impus Major moves out, the garage will be a full-blown room!
Sometimes Paizo can be embarrassing. I sent a gift to someone. Paizo broke it into not one, not two, but THREE separate installments. So now I'm just coming across as a creepy stalker. Thanks, Paizo!

There was a Broadway musical called Barnum. The most notable star to play the lead was Michael (Phantom of the Opera) Crawford. Is Greatest Showman based on that?

Never mind. I looked it up and it's not.
Which is probably why the movie was good.

It was a dalek that had a human mind, and for exterminate was thinking about the recipe for crème brûlée I think. Basically the recipe instructions contracted to exterminate. It was one of the first episodes with ClaraWhat did the Dalek say to the omelet? EGGSTERMINATE!I have a vague memory of "Eggs Terminate" being an actual gag or quip on that show. It's been long enough since I watched that I forget the details.
That's right, I remember now. It was souffles.

So when does Wolverine the Musical come out?
This is why they shouldn't have given power armor superhero landings in Fallout 4.
It was just so high...

~laughter~ Been there, done that. Having said that, I think that quarry can be drained. But it does bring other troubles if you do drain it.
I just put a new fusion core in there too!
S&$~ like this is why I never put a full tank of gas in our car.

I watched a video about how that would pretty much shatter all of your bones from the impact. It was some interesting stuff.
It's also why Iron Man would be pretty much liquified in his suit from all the sudden stops, turns, etc. G-forces are nothing to f+$$ with.

Going to buy my first new car tomorrow. If things go relatively smoothly.
I've spent the last week pitting all the dealerships in Arizona against each other in a bidding war, I'll see if it pays off. One of them has already reneged on a low bid.

See also: Anyone rescued mid-fall by Superman's arms of steel would end up with broken ribs, massive bruising, a broken whiplashed neck, etc..
Unless I suppose, super-careful deceleration is one of his superpowers. Which, he's got so many, why not one more eh?

lots of people forget about crazy theatre girls. But all it takes is one (very poorly) singing, dancing, actually thinks that [insert performance art here] is about their life to remind everyone.

Sorry – not very posty as I’m busy pushing plot in Strange Aeons…Come on…PCs…you want to step down that stairway…into the darkness…
I even confessed that if anyone wanted to write up that ritual, feel free since I am not good at doing descriptions. And I can't describe scenery for nuts.

Everyone who has been in theater, has had a friend or loved one involved in theater, or just enjoys dark comedy should watch all three lamentably short seasons of the brilliant Canadian series "Slings and Arrows".
It begins with the renowned director of a theater company dying by being run over by a pig truck while drunk and stipulating in his will that his head shall be removed from his body, boiled down, and his skull used for all future productions of Hamlet.
Then his ghost starts appearing to the new director, who has cause to hate him.
Bonus: it has Mark from Kids in the Hall and a young Rachel McAdams.

Oh, and from season three, where the Shakespeare festival decides to add in a few musicals to drive up profits:
Darren Nichols: I must say, I've fallen in love with the musical genre. It's the art-form of the common man. If you want to communicate something with the proletariat, cover it in sequins and make it sing. It's noisy, vulgar and utterly meaningless—I love it!

My mother called me a few minutes ago. She passed out in the living room, again. I'm beginning to worry that her problems might not be related to Diabetes, but may be neurological.
Good luck and I hope that you find out what is wrong with her.

It's still really f**~ing cold.
Very sleepy. I think the cold is making me go into hibernate mode, plus I keep waking up from bizarre dreams that I can't remember (other than the fact that they're messed up).
Through an unfortunate comedy of errors, and because my in laws are showing an increasing inability to manage their finances, we caused them to overdraft on their checking account.
