Minus the manager one. Cause typically I am the manager and I work my ass off. And prefer Hearts to Solitaire.
First tattoo since 2006 happening tomorrow! 4 hours is a good re-introduction right?
This is the coolest thing ever.
From The Guardian:
Two Canadian teenagers have sent a Lego man into the outer reaches of the Earth’s atmosphere using a home-stitched parachute and equipment found on Craigslist.
Two weeks ago, Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, attached the plastic figurine replete with maple leaf flag to a helium balloon, which they sent 80,000 feet into the air.
The pair managed to capture the entire journey into the blackness of space, including the descent, which lasted 97 minutes, using four cameras, at an entire cost of just £254.
Spending four months of Saturdays on the project, the teenagers launched the professionally made weather balloon from a football pitch. It then soared to more than double the height of a commercial jet’s cruising altitude – some 24km into the upper atmosphere from where the Earth’s curvature can be seen.
Having attached a GPS receiver to the styrofoam box carrying the cameras and Lego-naut, the two managed to recover the bundle attached to a hand-stitched parachute from a field 122km from the launch site.
“People would walk into the house and see us building this fantastical thing with a parachute from scratch, and they would be like, ‘What are you doing?’” says Ho. “We’d be like, ‘We’re sending cameras to space.’ They’d be like, ‘Oh, okayyyyy …’” he said.
Astrophysics professor Dr Michael Reid, from the University of Toronto, praised the boys, saying: “It shows a tremendous degree of resourcefulness. For two 17-year-olds to accomplish this on their own is pretty impressive.”
Classic Movie of the Week
The Devil in Miss Jones
The Devil in Miss Jones written, directed and produced by Gerard Damiano and starring Georgina Spelvin It is widely regarded[ as a classic adult film, released during the ’Golden Age of Porn’.
Georgina Spelvin plays Justine Jones, a lonely, depressed spinster who decides that suicide is the only way out of her routinely dull existence. While lying in the bathtub, Justine slits her wrists, dying quietly as the tub fills with her blood.
Because she has lived a ‘pure’ life, Miss Jones finds herself in limbo. There she meets Mr. Abaca (John Clemens), an angel, of sorts, who informs her that she does not qualify for entrance to Heaven because she has killed herself. Angry that this one indiscretion has left her with only the options of limbo or Hell, she begs Mr. Abaca to let her “earn” her place in Hell by being allowed to return to earth and become the embodiment of lust. After an intense session of pain and pleasure with a menacing man who goes only by the title of “The Teacher”. Justine has a few bizarre and sexually deviant encounters, the last of which is a graphic threesome.
However, just as she’s enjoying her new life of lust, the brief time Justine was given to fulfill herself runs out and she is faced with the eternity of Hell. At first, Miss Jones is horrified at the pain she will be forced to endure, but Abaca is quick to dispel the common human myth of Hell and promises Justine that she will be “quite comfortable…”
Justine, now a raging sex addict, then finds herself confined to a small room with an impotent, sexually uninterested man who is more interested in catching flies than her. She desperately begs the man for sex, but he simply asks her to be quiet while he listens to the buzzing of his imaginary insects.
Trapped in her own private hell, Miss Jones is left screaming in agony for all eternity, thirsting for a climaxshe will never achieve by her own means.

One of my absolute favorite childhood movies! Death Becomes Her(1992)
awesome film
This genre is usually all about social commentaries, what happens when the world ends, when technology breaks down, when everything is possible because of science, and how all of that questions the human condition or, in some cases, defines what the human condition actually is. lolwhat. I mean. Space is pretty. I like stars. Dinosaurs rarrr. But here’s a starter kit for this awesome film genre. (
That is, these movies kick-started my own interest so my bad if The Wrath of Khan, Tron, or The Terminator aren’t in here.ETA: Uh, the ‘starter kit’ evolved a little. I just linked to as many movies as I could.) It includes some science-fiction classics (originals of recently released remakes), movies that started long-standing franchises, as well as contemporary ~masterpieces~. And Galaxy Quest. (Because it’s really fucking funny, alright.) Didn’t upload the sequels cause, uh, it was meant to be a starter kit. So. Just the starts, lawl. Message me if a link doesn’t work. I’ll re-upload the file. PS: One of the multi-part files has a .ppt format so after you download all the parts and join the files, change the extension to .avi.1927 Metropolis DL / WATCH
