On Seeing Blade Runner For the First Time

It's not done yet, probably 2/3rds done right now, but I have a few thoughts. Firstly, I'm seeing a lot of Firefly here. Clearly Joss Whedon saw this movie more than a few times. Speaking of people who've clearly seen it, Farscape's Chiana seems clearly based on Pris. Harrison Ford is more appealing to me here than in pretty much anything else I've seen him in. I can't imagine how expensive this film must have been in '82 dollars. And it's a pretty slow movie. That's the big objection I'm having, is the slow pace. It's put Mom to sleep, although it's impressive she's even tried it.

Welcome to the World

So yesterday when posting about the State Fair, I was griping about memory cards. The reason being that for the first time ever, I ran out of memory before I ran out of battery in the camera and I forgot to bring an extra card. The reason I needed/wanted another card? Ben & Jerry.

No really, this makes sense.

This is a 3 year old Jersey cow. She had a rough day yesterday.

She was on display at the State Fair because they figured (correctly) that she was going to give birth imminently. What they didn't know was that her calf was going to be a breech birth, or that he wasn't alone. They had to call in a vet, who shoved the baby back into his mama, then grabbed both legs and yanked him out. How rude.
