Le Kzin Animé

So this little birdy told me that I could get a free industry pass to AnimExpo, just 'cause I work for The Big S.
(No, not Sears)
So I e-mailed 'em last week and lo and behold, I gots me a pass. Sweeeeet!!

So, urrrrrrrrr, who's going to AnimExpo in Uberheim, I mean Anaheim?
It's on the Fourth Of July weekend.
I think I went to AnimExpo once, briefly, a long time ago...

"Remember: service guarantees citizenship."

Well, it seems that we have a DVD library here at work.
Anything put out by Columbia/Tri-Star/Sony is check-out-able and view-able.
So I went up and snagged myself a couple of DVDs for watchin'...

"Starship Troopers 2: Hero Of The Federation"
Directed by Phil Tippett, the special effects guy from Star Wars and Jurassic Park.
This is a straight-to-video thingy I don't have much hope for it.

"Hellboy"
We apparently just got that in today.
It's a luscious-looking 2-DVD set with a whole crapload of extras.
Hmmmmmmm, nachos...

Once I'm done with those, I have my eye on "Tokyo Godfathers" and possibly "Starsky & Hutch: The Complete 1st Season".

This week's employee screening is "Troy". Seen it!!!
Next week is "White Chicks", where I won't be caught dead (or alive) at.
I don't have the words to fully describe my hatred for this... THING!!!

The Fur-B-Q is coming up this Saturday.
It's an annual Southern-California furry BBQ. It's usually a lot of fun.
I hope to be there. I won't bring the Ultimator foam bazookas though.

In other news, congratulations to Burt Rutan, Paul Allen, and everyone involved with
Scaled Composites' White Knight and SpaceShipOne project. They did it!!
First civilian manned space launch in history.
Monday July 21st 2004.
History has been made.
Space awaits...
