Cause I Love Viking Movies

(3:21:49 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: Now I'm watching Valhalla Rising as a counter to the last movie. I'm a sucker for any movies involving vikings.

(3:39:23 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: 15 minutes in and I'm not sure whether it's brilliant or complete crap. So far it's like an art-house version of the 13th Warrior.

...

(4:21:36 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: Been watching Valhalla Rising for 45 minutes. So far the first 5 minutes showed promise. Since then... Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I keep waiting for something to happen.

(4:26:37 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: At the 50 minute mark now. So far it's just a one-eyed dude staring at things.

(4:30:27 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: OH SHIT! Something is happening!

(4:31:22 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: Dang... 15 seconds of something happening and now they're all just staring again.

(4:34:10 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: WTF? 5 minutes of staring at a rock.

(4:35:40 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: This is like the Blair Witch Project if there had been no witch.

(4:40:23 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: Okay... Valhalla Rising is just... WTF... I mean... WTF? Seriously...

(4:43:17 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: WTF? WHY DO THE VIKINGS HAVE BRITISH ACCENTS?

(4:44:58 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: Oh, good, more staring.

(4:47:28 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: And why, oh why, are the vikings trying to build Jeruselam?

(4:47:59 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: Is this what happens when you get mercury poisoning?

(4:50:38 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: Wait... The head crazy guy just shot an arrow at himself from 10 meters away. And now the one eyed guy is straing at himself from 10 meters away.

(4:50:59 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: Oh, nevermind, it's some two eyed guy staring at the one eyed guy.

(4:53:29 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: So the crazy old guy had a twin?

(5:00:40 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: Holy shit! There's Native Americans in ancient Norway!

(5:03:52 PM) krisak@gmail.com/B1AE2FD4: WTF? The movie finally ended. And... WTF?

Wind Duex

When there's a 35 mph crosswind, it might be a bad idea to merge into traffic like a ferret on meth.

Real Weather

It's windy enough that I just got to watch one of my coworkers get blown over in the parking lot. Sadly, I am a cruel person and this amused me greatly. At least they appeared uninjured.

Unclear On The Concept - Yet Again

Heading down I95, south towards the exit to get onto 215W. I'm in the far left lane, passing a bunch of traffic that's all ganged up together for no apparent reason. Maybe they all just needed a morning hug.

Anyway... Someone in a Pacifica (that's how you just know they're going to do something stupid) lurches into the left lane in front of me. Then goes slower than traffic in the middle lane. Thanks, buddy.

I work my way back over to the right lane and get into the exit lane. Suddenly PacificaGuy comes rocketing four lanes over and nearly takes off my rear bumper. *sigh* But that's the confused kind of behavior I expect from someone in a Pacifica.
