quoting for posterity (and science)

[thez]

"I KNOW ALL SCIENCE, ALL THE TIME!" - mko, in imitation of me. I told her that I need this on a bumper sticker.

"I'm sciencing as fast as I can!" - Professor Farnsworth. I finally saw "Bender's Big Score". The extended opening theme is tremendously great, as is Kwanzaa Bot's rap (COOLIO).


On an almost related note, I feel weird for wanting to buy the special edition "Twister" DVD coming out tomorrow (though clearly I won't - look at how long it took me to buy the Futurama movie). Judge me if you must, but the film delighted me in my meteorology-obsessed youth (and Action Scientist obsessed youth). Also, it is stupidly fun. IN ADDITION, I enjoy the soundtrack, and it's one of those crazy movies with the soundtrack actually appearing in the film. Unconventional and mad, it is.


OH HEY, it is Cinco de Mayo! This, for me, is mostly a holiday where I eat more Mexican food than usual, and considering my usual intake, this is quite a lot of Mexican food.

Most of my cultural awareness relates directly to food.

Somewhat related to this: sometimes at the museum, we get tourists from Mexico. This is the only time I get to practice my Spanish, because despite the endless bitching I've noticed about non-English speakers in the U.S., I can count on one hand (that lost a couple of fingers in a shop class accident) the number of times I've run into someone who could not speak English and was not with a friend/family member who could translate for them.

Today, instead of telling someone to buckle their seat belt (abrocharse), I told them to go to bed with their seat belt (acostarse).

It was pretty freaking awesome once I'd realized what I'd done. Good five minutes of laughing, that. Well, I was laughing. The people I was talking to just awkwardly boarded the ride.

I especially love how, after you know that Lars is Fry, you can actually see that he is, in fact, saying/doing exactly what Fry says/does. It's so awesome.

ONE DAY YOUR ENTIRE CAR SHALL BE PLATED IN BUMPER STICKERS ABOUT SCIENCE

Also awesome: Leela mentioning Fry's hair horn. ACKNOWLEDGE THE HAIR HORN.

And Bender giggling unashamedly at ex-Box Corp. employees being beaten to death.

I enjoyed Twister at the theater as I was smack in the middle of my Helen Hunt Phase at the time. ^_^;

How can I use "acostarse" in a sentence? The phrase of the week is "trabajo como mago" in my classes.

The same way you use any other verb?

I loved Bender's Big Score especially the part where Bender threatens the Egyptians in hieroglyphics.

What rides are there in your museum?

Just one. It's sort of like the Star Wars ride at Disney Land, but instead of a Star Wars ship doing whatever the hell it does, it's a F-18 fighter in the Gulf War going on a bombing run (there are other simulations, but they aren't as good).
