I remember how amazingly awesome that scene looked when it came out. Nobody had ever really seen anything like it before.
According to the comments (gleaned from the DVD, I guess) that was 8,000 lines of code on a supercomputer.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
(And much bitching in the comments about not including the Akira motorcycle.)
Well, it is a damn cool motorcycle.
This motorcycle (Polaris Victory Vision Tour) was apparently inspired by Flash Gordon. It looks interesting and comfortable, but there's no way in hell I'd be riding that behemoth.
Bluetooth-enabled helmets. Eh. I just want a MP3-compatible one, but I can keep riding with my headphones. I'm iffy on spending an extra $150 or so for the electronics.

The styling or the performance? I'm not a big fan of the styling - it looks too much like it's actually trying to be a bullet. I haven't seen many of those around, actually - I'm more likely to see the H-D V-Rod.
There's a 2001 Triumph Bonneville for sale near my work that I'm drooling over. It's not my favored style, but it's very pretty.

Yeah, I want to see you on a 1952 Vincent Black Lightning.

I'm not doing anything today but laundry, some desultory cleaning, and chipping away at my Netflix and TiVo queue. Perhaps I shall make an attempt at sorting my 401(k) paperwork in preparation for a rollover, but I'll probably end up reading a cooking magazine instead.

Thanks for the earworm, David.
It's raining here, but it's not Hanna. It's another rain front that Hanna is pushing our way in front of it. So we get two days of rain. Gee thanks Hanna!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm waiting desperately for the last episode of Gladiators to download. Didn't watch SGA last night either. Went to bed.

I need to do laundry, but as I suspected, we just got wet on the way home from lunch. it's yucky out. So now it's power rangers for mac and knitting for me while we dry a bit.
