In. Through. And Beyond!

The other day I had to engage in a conversation with a woman on a professional level. No biggie.
Well, actually… biggie. She wasn’t fat but she wasn’t rail thin, either. Her size lent to the fact that her low cut, scoop neck top created the illusion of so much cleavage that I, for some reason, could not stop looking down there. I don’t consider myself misogynistic and as a gay man, I respect women and their fashion sense. But I could not stop looking at her fuckin rack, man!
Seriously, for whatever reason, I found it difficult to keep my eyes above the chin.
The lighting where we were created a Q-tip like shadow of cleavage, meaning: there was a bulbous shadow at the top of the straight line shadow that lead up from the scoop top. Peripherally I could see the oval darkness dead center of her pale chest (which I assume is why it was so distracting).
After struggling with not looking I suddenly got the urge to drop my pen in her cleavage. No lie. I wanted to toss my pen in there and listen for rattling or echos or a guttural burp from a Sarlacc.
For some reason this played in my head:

Just a quick mention that the little Aa<> on the upper right hand corner is a new update to my precious theme: font size and full screen are now for your enjoyment flipping. Thing.

Calvacade of Weekend Movies

Since we’re down 52% less paycheque these days, SharkBoy and I have been staying in, mostly watching unopened videos from purchases past or pay-TV channel gems before Rogers shuts them off for late payments (just kidding… for now…). Here is a list with a one sentence review of the last few movies we’ve watched:
The Black Hole: Ernest Borgnine dies as the story bleeds logic while the set design steals the show.
Norma Rae: Plucky actress Sally Fields broke an extra’s rib in one scene.
Push: William Gibson could have wrote this twisty story, but it was terribly shot.
Paul Blart – Mall Cop: Avoid.
Eyes Wide Shut: Guiltily turned it off 45 minutes into it.
Carousel: Wide wide screen reveals extras standing around doing nothing in this overlooked classic.
Stingray (Episodes 1-5): Marina kills me laughing as I’m constantly reminded of Team America.
Blindness: Not enough disaster porn, but it’s a nice deconstruction story of morality and civility.
Mutual Of Omaha Animal Kingdom (Episodes 1 and 2): This show would not survive 10 minutes if shown today due to all the staged animal cruelty.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno: Why did I wait so long to see this pure Kevin Smith film?
Disney Cheese Cake
Posted by Dead Robot in General on June 24, 2009
We’re 4 days into the holiday and we’re lazily looking at Animal Kindom Lodge – a massive “hut” resort with wild animals running wild in the hotel’s inner courtyard. SharkBoy and SisterInLawSharkBoy are in the giftshop (again) and I’m waiting on a massive leather couch in the lobby with NephewInLawSharkBoy.
I spy from across the room one of Disney’s PhotoPass people taking extremely set up pictures of couples and scanning their retrieval cards for purchase later, online. I get an idea. I tell the Nephew to sit tight, wait for SharkBoy and Sis-In-Law.
I walk up to the photographer. “Is this a FastPass picture?” I ask, completely confusing the reserved ride system with the online photo purchasing system.
“Uh… it’s PhotoPass…?”
“Right! Can I get a picture?”
“By yourself?”
“Yes.” I make a face that says I’m all alone – Waaa Waaaa Waaaaaah! I pose. He shrugs. He takes the shot.
I know that the family will come home at the end of the holiday and punch in the number to the PhotoPass account and ooo and aaa as they click through the pictures we had professionally taken in all the parks and then come across…
Countdown To Disney

I just ordered the limo for next Saturday. Yeeaah, that’s right. A limo. No stinky off-the-street cab for us!
Buy My Crap!
Posted by Dead Robot in General on April 17, 2009
I’m doing some Spring Cleaning here at Dead Robot Heavy Industries:
My slim Casio Exilim S10 camera – I like it a lot, but I’m having a bit of buyer’s remorse. Its a fun camera but I’m missing the power from my old Canon A640. If it sells, great, I can get a new one. If not, no biggie. That kind of middle of the road feeling, you know?
And I was recently reminded that I’ve got about 30++ unopened MANGA videos under the Media credenza.
Stick around! Maybe I’ll sell off my only kidney I have.
