The Middleman
Has anyone else seen this show?
It comes on ABCfamily on Monday Nights, and it's some quirky fun. It kinda spoofs comic books.
In the pilot, the Middleman has to stop an evil scientist who's using her ultra-intelligent gorillas to take over the Mafia.
It's kind of awesome.
Check the trailer:
Heh, awesome PSA:

The Trophies
Because you asked:

And here's one with Batman and a paperback, so you can get a sense of the size:

Trophies
So remember last winter when I joined the lab bowling league and annoyed everyone by posting weekly bowling updates?
Well, while I was home they league had their awards dinner, and I got two trophies!!
One is a team trophy, we took third place (Go Team Air Strike!!) and the other I got for "Highest Female Handicap"
So basically, I got a trophy for being really really bad at bowling. How do I even tell people about that?
Normally, these your typical "Yeah for participating!" trophies that you can put on your computer to show what a social person you are.
However, due to a mix up at the trophy companies, we got these ginormous wood-gold monstrosties that would crush my computer into tiny bits. I found them sitting on my desk.
Two of them. I had to put them on the ground, because having those two golden female bowlers above me was starting to creep me out.
I waited until about 3:40, so as to miss most of the first shift rush, and then headed for the elevator. Empty. I got in, a trophy in each hand (sometimes I had to balance one on my shoulder, and hold it in place with my chin to badge in and out) and hit the button for the ground floor.
"Hold the elevator!"a male voice cried out. Crap.
I held the elevator.
"Thanks so WHOA!"
I got that reaction a lot. In fact, I got a comment from everyone I passed, including one "Well you must be the award winner!" It was a little embarrassing.
I don't even know where to put them. They won't fit on our fireplace mantle. They're too big.
What would you do with two giant bowling trophies?

Movie Review
I have been meaning to do this for the past week, but just have not gotten around to it. This past Monday, I went and saw The Incredible Hulk. I will admitt that I was kind of leary just because John Woo literally killed the Hulk story for me with his version. You will have to excuse this one, but I grew up watching Bill Bixby every week fight off his Mr. Hyde persona and tried to find a place where he fit in.
This movie stays true to that story. It even has the sad walking away song in this film that was always played at the end. You really get the story of what Bruces life has been like. It even has the great love story in it. And of course the camio apperances by Lou Ferringo the orginal Green man himself. So for all those who may be questioning whether or not to go to this movie, I would recommend it. I did not go to John Woo's version in the theatres, but this is one that is great for any one from the ages of 12 and up. There are some huge fighting scences so it is just left to the minds of those that can handle it. Not to mention there is a camio by Mister Ironman himself.

Kingdom Hearts
Since the TA is not around I thought that this would be a good video for everyone to watch. I have never played the game, but hey you cant go wrong with Disney with a mixture of Anime.

An Awesome Dad
Tonight at Krav, there was an older guy there, training with his son, who looked at least 17.
We were learning a take down, but we train on padded mats, and if your the attacker you slap out, so the take down doesn't hurt.
However, whenever the Dad went to take down his son, he would start the take down, but once his son would start falling, he would reach out and grab him, and then lower him gently to the floor.
So the instructors brought him up and showed him the move piece by piece, so he'd be sure not to hurt his son. And then the instructor took down the son, hard, and showed the dad that the son wasn't hurt.
"You don't have to protect your son. He's perfectly safe" They told him.
So a fully grown son, on padded wrestling mats, with two instructors acting as safeties.
The Dad started the move, got to the take down, but once his son started falling he grabbed him and lowered him to the floor.
He just couldn't stop himself from protecting his son.
It was the sweetest thing I've seen in a long time.

Monday AMV
It's 105 today. 100 and freaking 5.
I worked outside in that. For five hours.
Heat. My immortal enemy.
Well . . . heat and samurais
As the Kung Fu Panda would say, "Their Kung Fu is so strong, their enemies were blinded by pure awesomeness."

Saturday Update
It's freaking hot. And humid. I got up this morning, and all our windows were steamed up.
August weather has come early, and I'm living in nature's sauna.
I was going to go to a Demolition Derby tonight, but with the heat wave and the 90% humidity, everyone's canceling out.
So instead, I went and saw Kung Fu Panda. It was a charming story, funny and absolutely gorgeous. It just had some stunning animation and the gorgeous backgrounds you see in most Chinese Kung Fu flicks.

Old, but Awesome
Minesweeper the Movie.
I'm more of a solitaire fan myself, but my little sister was so addicted to this game. She'd play it for hours.
I was more like the guy who shovels at random, saying "It's never the first one!"
