I went to see a movie last night which is an unusual event since DW doesn't like to go see movies. Anyhow, I went with her brother who is handicapped and doesn't get to movies or anything else very often.
I swear at the automatic ticket machine that I punched the button for Terminator Salvation, but I got tickets for Transformers II. I didn't realize this until the movie started. By BiL didn't say anything so I figured I wouldn't make a fuss and possibly screw up his fun. As it turns out he really liked the movie, so a win on that front.
So I saw the wrong movie and for me it was meh. Some of the action sequences were fun. However, that was about it. The humor fell flat, it didn't make me care about the characters, I sometimes had a lot of trouble making sense of shots were robots were fighting since it all sort of blended together, and it was twice as long as it needed to be. Maybe meh was too strong an endorsement. OTOH, I have to admit that it did met my expectations for a movie based on a line of toys.
This was my first exposure to Megan Fox, a topic that seems to come up here every so often. I found she was quite attractive except for the puffy lips. Given the context of the movie I cannot say anything about her acting skills.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
Wow. Wrong like a wrong thing that is SOOO wrong.
Honestly, though, I'm surprised that a bacon version didn't beat them to market. That would be equally wrong, but given bacon's current popularity, probably an inevitability.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
DO NOT WANT.
It *does* make me want real Cheez-Its, though.
It is not of the Lord.
Clearly it violates God's laws which in every instance are designed to protect people from themselves. Clearly anyone who buys that product needs to be protected from themselves. After all, the biggest self of self is, indeed, self.

Oh my god, NO.
::shudders::
And I *like* bacon.
I know how to sum up Transformers II. I spend most of the movie wishing like hell I was back home writing instead.
Oh dear. I do not like food flavored lip balms to begin with let alone weird food flavored lip balms!
I am going through kitten withdrawal. I just got to hold the tiniest baby kitten and I rocked it to sleep! It was so hard to let go but I was at work and other people wanted to hold and pet the kittens! But now all I can think of is KITTENS! KITTENS! KITTENS!
But I do not want kitten flavored lip balm.

Huh, I think I see the influence of the Internet on food and taste related products. You know how you can think of any crazy ass idea and then find that someone already believes it on the Internet? The same thing is happening. Bacon flavored lip balm? Sure. Chocolate chip pancake covered sausage? It's even on a stick.
Ark hunters and Bible enthusiasts are buzzing about a report that the Ark of the Covenant, the ancient container that holds the Ten Commandments, is expected to be unveiled in Rome today.
As WND reported, the patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia says he will announce to the world the unveiling of the Ark, which he says has been hidden away in a church in his country for millennia, according to the Italian news agency Adnkronos.
Abuna Pauolos, in Italy for a meeting with Pope Benedict XVI this week, told the news agency, "Soon the world will be able to admire the Ark of the Covenant described in the Bible as the container of the tablets of the law that God delivered to Moses and the center of searches and studies for centuries."
