I remember when, for a short time, BART service was 24x7.

It was almost like we had civilization.

@VeroniqueB99 I have this backpack with this exact label and have used it... Forever. Amazingly well made.

The manufacturer is Tom Bihn.

No idea if their current bags have tags like this. My backpack dates from the GW Bush era, and he is the president they are referring to.

The Man from Planet X?

Only 2 more to go after this and we'll be done with the alphabet!

One time my mother and father were sleeping when my dad, who was prone to discussions and other shenanigans while asleep, sat bolt upright in bed and said "My leg!" while looking at mom.

Mom sat up and said "What's wrong?!?" while trying to feel his leg to see if she could help.

My father looked right at her and said "It's oriental!"

"OH GO BACK TO SLEEP, JIM!!!"

He did. Nothing was wrong and he had no memory of this event.

Happy Bell Riots day.

Apparently we're not going to discuss where Lenore got "someone else" to occupy the casket.

We visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium (https://montereybayaquarium.org) on Friday. 2nd time in 25 years! Okay, that's not that often.

It was awesome, of course. Kind of a perfect vacation day, even with the Pier 39 "Uber tourist" environment nearby. They even had Dippin Dots.

@skinnylatte you have an awesome employer.

I'm starting to feel the 4th wall breaks are purposeful.

Meanwhile, in another movie

#Monsterdon

I watched Star Trek:TNG episode "The Nth Degree" - where Reginald Barclay is exposed to radiation (it's always radiation) that makes him inhumanly smart, culminating in his mental processes ultimately being moved into the ships computer.

I got to the scene where they have "cut off all audio and visual circuits" (I'm paraphrasing) to the meeting room so they can talk without Barclay - aka the computer - hearing them.

All while wearing communication badges that have mics. "What were they thinking?", I wondered. How could they ever feel like they have privacy?

Then I looked down at my Pixel phone.

Owls can use a natural version of napalm, as seen here.

Fact: 87.4% of the budget was spent on rotoscoping.

@skinnylatte

I've been thinking the same thing, partly due to articles like this:

Welcome to the writers poorly disguised fetish - possibly the real reason this movie was made.

#Monsterdon

Is every person in this film a caricature?

#Monsterdon

One upside: The aliens are truly alien. I cannot figure out a single thought or emotion they are having.

(Aside from "How do we get out of this film"?)

"I'm not interested in discussing my itinerary with you, officer. Am I under arrest?'

According to the American rules of "Talking To People Who Don't Know English" you need to yell it louder and slower for him to understand.
