That's fairly awesome (on top of an already awesome dream), and probably worthy of a thesis in and of itself as a case study in psychology. I'm serious -- the idea of "tricking" or fooling your subconscious eludes me -- my thinking being, you shouldn't be able to. And yet, I know you can, because I've woken up giggling from an episode of Three Stooges that doesn't exist.

Win. I've always enjoyed the concept of a Four Little Ponies/Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse mashup.

In hindsight, obviously a troll.

Great American Beer Fest
Yeah, let me know the next time you're in town, I'm not averse to going up to B'more, need an excuse to go. And alright, you talked me into it, I'll go back and buy it if they still have it.

Don't buy anything from overly-litiginous Monster. Boycott Monster. Get Sennheiser PX100's instead. Or one of these.

Great American Beer Fest
Agreed. Unless it's something that I can't get myself to buy, like the Black Ops (reviews are mixed for a $35 bottle of beer), or some limited something, like the Bell's Batch series. Goose Island, Russian River, Three Floyds, and Terrapin are all largely based on reputation, the rest I actually know and like at least one drink from (Avery make a killer Russian Imperial Stout called The Czar, for example, but I know from reputation that they make other good things; Pike make something called the XXXX Extra Stout which is surprisingly good for a $4 big bottle; etc.). Oh, and scratch Bison -- I got it confused with something else. It's worth trying if "organic" interest you at all, but I ended up not liking it for entirely personal reasons. And at the Three Skulls "tent" (?), you're basically just looking for cleavage, so don't waste too much valuable staggering time there. And take into account that this is just one man's opinion, etc. I do love beer, but I'm a relative novice (only really started drinking recently about the beginning of the year).

Looks nice! Let us know how they sound.

Reviving an old FOTM...the CD-E5
He was...until all of a sudden he wasn't.

What are you listening to Part Two
And again. RIYL: Agalloch, Swallow the Sun, Shape of Despair, the first Kayo Dot album. Average song length is a little over 10 minutes, and that's including the 3 minute prelude -- link. It's reminding me of something else (again, Swans?), but I can't put my finger on it.

My list would look something like this (my list is alphabetical, as I wrote them down as I thought of them, so as not to provide duplicates, you're going to want to map a "shortest distance staggered" route): Allagash, Avery, Bell's (obviously), Bison, Brooklyn (I mean, c'mon, how can you not like a company who makes a "Black Ops": ...), The Bruery, Dogfish Head (obviously), Duck-Rabbit, Goose Island, Great Divide, Lagunitas, Left Hand (obviously), Pike, Rogue, Russian River, Sierra Nevada, Smuttynose, Southern Tier, Stone, Terrapin, Three Floyds, Three Skulls (hey, maybe Black Bonny will be making an appearance!), Tommyknocker, Troegs (right next to Weyerbacher), Victory (right next to Weyerbacher), Weyerbacher (obviously).

Reviving an old FOTM...the CD-E5
I thought those finally got released on DVD? A new, unaltered hope; the unaltered empire strikes back; and return of the unaltered jedi

What did you do today?
Somehow I think we'll need the context, if the sentence goes something like, "it logically follows that f(x) = 2y + dt".

Death Race was not horrible, RE#1 was not as horrible as #2 or #3, neither of which I could finish watching. Mortal Kombat was also fun. Event Horizon is superb, if a bit ...erm... abstract. At least it doesn't have a horrible tagline, like "Mankind's Greatest Threat Is Earth Itself" or "Earth has a Deadline", or stupid faux-science shit, which rubs me the wrong way inordinately. Or you could just get around to watching it already, and decide for yourself. As always.

Well, you also know a guy online who has a whole shelfload of laserdiscs and two laserdisc players, including the very rare Matrix (which was the disc being made at the...Korean?...plant when the earthquake hit, destroying the plant, and no plans were made to create another plant).

What's worse than finding a worm in your apple? Getting your balls ground down with a belt sander.

Wait, what?!?!? I didn't even realize it was Paul W.S. Anderson, of Resident Evil noteriety. He's hardly consistent -- Event Horizon is one of my favorite horror movies, and Death Race -- although fluffy not stuff -- was fun.
-

Event Horizon isn't a "bad" sci-fi film, it's a horrific sci-fi film. Or a horror film set in a sci-fi...er...setting. I don't think it even intends for things to be anything other than supernatural.

Looking forward to the YouTube, but still sorry you're having these problems.

What are you listening to Part Two
Void of Silence, Grave of Civilization -- fuck yeah. Quite possibly the doomiest record I've heard since Shape of Despair. The vocals may get on one's nerves (it's the mournful Swans-esque style), but clean trumps growl 365 days of the year, in my book. Will have to check out their back catalog, see if it's as good.

Amazon Kindle
If it's the one I'm thinking of, my co-worker got it, and she's very happy with it. It doubles the weight of the kindle, but she treasures her kindle, so is willing to put up with that for those time she needs the light. And it's really cool, it has a locking latch/dock-y thing that holds it in place, so no more elastic bands. Seems pretty secure.

I know we have some tv repair shops, I'm thinking of one in particular that still had its placard still hung up that said, "TV/VCR/Laserdisc"...I'll have to drive by and see if they haven't remodeled.

You should then watch The Cube. And then perhaps, "The Tetrahedron" -- it's almost like the sphere, except it's not.
