A very odd auction indeed

October 20th, 2007 | Category: General Life, Oddities

Whilst going about my usual visiting of certain websites, I came across a link of the Penny Arcade to probably one of the strangest auction’s I’ve ever seen.

The auction in question is this one for a now disused Titan Missle base. According to the auction page here is what the Base contains.

The Former Larson Air Force Base Complex 1A Titan ICBM Facility

Located Central Washington between Moses Lake and Ritzville

Ten Minutes to Interstate 90

1 1/2 hours West of Spokane

57 acres more or less

16 UNDERGROUND buildings including

3 - 160′ Tall Missile Silo

3 - (4 story) Equipment Terminal Bldgs

2 - Antenna Silos

100′ Diameter Control Dome Bldg.

125′ Diameter Power Dome Bldg.

And all that for a smooth 1.5 Million Dollars.

So the question remains. Anyone want to buy it for my birthday?

Beer, Film, Return of Top Gear

October 14th, 2007 | Category: General Life, Review?

Last weekend, I seemed to have kept myself fairly busy.

On the Friday evening I went out with a few people I know and got really drunk. That being about as much as I can remember about that unfortunately. .

However on Saturday after having missed the bus into town about 3 times, I eventually met up with a group of friends and set out for the cinema. The film of choice was to be Heartbreak Kid. While it’s not often I’ll go see a romantic comedy, I am also a a fan of Ben Stiller as a comedian/actor. As such the film definitely had it’s funny points and there wasn’t as of the typical sappy moments that would would normally find in this genre as you would in say a Hugh Grant film. As every-time there seemed to be one a joke of some sort got thrown in, be it physical comedy such as one scene where Eddie Cantrow (Ben Stiller) and Lila (Malin Akerman) are both riding their bikes and as they try to kiss, Lila’s bike flips due to having rode into point metal box.

Overall Heartbreak Kid isn’t one I’d go out of my way to see, but was still enjoyable to watch.

Latest Purchases

October 05th, 2007 | Category: Purchases

Got paid today for the last two weeks work (meant to be payed weekly), and as a result I’ve splashed out a lil bit more than I normally would. Here’s how.

So while browsing play.com to check the price for a couple of things and to buy Wario Ware: Smooth Moves for my Wii, I came across the new transformers film special editon and the 2 disc verion of Frank Miller’s 300. Having loved both of these films at the cinema. I could’nt refuse the chance to snap them up and as such expanding my small DVD collection.

I’ll make sure to write about what I think of them all after I have them.

Other than that there isn’t really anything of note that’s happened to write at the moment.

Have Fun.

A New Beginning

October 03rd, 2007 | Category: General Life, Slystuff

Welcome to the new(ish) site. The aim this time is to just post my general ramblings about anything and everything. Such as my impressions of a film, TV show, game, music or something that’s just happened to me that I feel like sharing.

So in a sense more like a real blog than before as updates will be alot more natural, though expect little bits here and there to change as I tailor the look and feel of this to suit my own needs.

As for anything I promised on the old blog I’ll port those to here in due time. I’m not going to promise anything fancy this time. Though at some point there will be a new picture gallery just so I can show off pics without leaving people to look through a list of links.

That’s all from me for now.
