Currently watching some dinosaur thing. Makes me want to watch “Evolution,” that movie with David Duchovny (sp? I used to know when I was reading Mulder/Krycek slash).

It’s some pretty interesting stuff and I can see why some authors are drawn to the idea of writing “Terra Nova” type stories. Unfortunately, I don’t have the knowledge base to draw from to write something like that. Well, I could write it. But it probably wouldn’t be any good ^_^  That or it would end up more like “Evolution” than “Walking With Dinosaurs.” Just a tiny bit of dino knowledge mixed with a healthy dose of hubris.

So if I ever write a time travel human/dino story, it’s gonna have to be some kind of parody/comedy story with everything totally over the top. Like, I don’t know, some guy screws up his time machine and ends up in the paleolithic where he has to deal with gigantic carnivores while trying to fix his machine. (Makes me think of that stupid Syfy movie with Joe Flanigan not being John Sheppard. I spent the whole movie gritting my teeth and asking God “Why are they so frickin’ stupid?” God did not reply.)

Anyways, I’m going to go watch “Evolution.” You should watch it too. It’s pretty hilarious.

Summary: A firefighting cadet, two college professors, and a geeky-but-sexy government scientist work against an alien organism that has been rapidly evolving ever since its arrival on Earth inside a meteor.  Starring: David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Julianne Moore, Seann William Scott (he’s so cute!)

I totally can’t wait for the Venture Brothers 3 hour marathon. Hopefully it’ll be followed by a whole new season ’cause I’ve been jonesing for a fix. Also, politely request new episodes of “Metalocalypse,” “Robot Chicken,” and “Boondocks.”

Trivia: The character of “Hank” in “Heroes & Villains” is loosely based on Hank Venture. I picture a Hankish character wearing a semi-punk outfit and a typical Hank pouty attitude. It makes me very happy.

So I was basically abusing the hell out of my new planner and a couple of things popped up:

Sakura Con is April 6-8.  That’s right, it takes place during the EASTER WEEKEND.  What kind of planning was that? Was there no other weekend available?  I mean, I’m totally going to go, but talk about your awkward scheduling.  I’ll have to dab The Kid’s tears with some of my new yaoi manga…

The Unbirthday I planned for 2012 caused a bit of a personal upset when I realized I scheduled it for May 5.  That’s right, Cinco de Mayo.  Do you know how hard it would be to get an available space at the park or anywhere else?  I had to reschedule to May 12.  I’ve got it planned where we’ll make a pinata, invite all of The Kid and The Girl’s friends, have a BBQ, and maybe add some games.  I’m also thrilled at the idea of funny hats.  Yes, I am a gigantic nerd.
