quoting for posterity (and science)

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.
