Ok everybody in the world posted a link to this:



Which makes today's mantra a two-parter, the first being "You have no money, don't even think about it" and the second, "Do you have any idea just how many t-shirts you currently own? Why yes you do because you just packed and lugged them to a new apartment. No, just no."

Still, a Guild of Calamitous Intent t-shirt...

*sigh*

I must admit I did bubkiss this weekend and it felt really good after the whirlwind of the previous one. moonlightnrain and I even went to WCW where she soaked in a tub and I got a massage with the last of my Spa Finder gift certificates (thanks again, elo_sf!). I went in feeling crampy and sore and came out feeling relaxed and happy, it was the perfect end to the perfect long weekend.

Last night I ended up watching the beginning of A&E's version of "The Andromeda Strain" which was every bit as cliche and crappy as I'd expected. But it's got like everybody in it including a somewhat weird looking Ricky Schroeder as a military doctor guy. Most of the time watching it I was sitting there going, "Oh hey it's Doctor Cox's wife from Scrubs!" or "Hey it's that asshole guy from SG-1!" So at least I was mildly entertained, but the science was just tragic. I mean seriously, just tragic.

The rule then becomes: if you get a new t-shirt, you have to get rid of an old t-shirt. I still think it would be worth it for the Guild of Calamitous Intent t-shirt (although that exclusive Brock Samson one is SO COOL!)

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

I just don't wear enough t-shirts to justify buying any new ones, no matter how cool I'm afraid.

[moonlightnrain.livejournal.com]

You wear your airbender t-shirt a lot.... But black t-shirts, no.

[moonlightnrain.livejournal.com]

And did you go watch the video of our performance yet? :)

[houndartemis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm with you on the Shirt Club. The possibilities of amazing T-shirts is mouth watering, but damn if that price tag isn't too high.

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

Yes I did, sorry I forgot to comment because I got so busy with emails. I thought you guys looked great, though it was sad that you were in the farthest corner away from the video camera :(

That Guild one is so damn tempting...and if they do a really cool Dr. Girlfriend I may buckle and buy it.

[moonlightnrain.livejournal.com]

There will be another video in the future, using the official footage (they shot us from 3 different angles!) and/or recording our own "music video" version in a local high school's gym. :)

And hey, if you're so busy with emails, am I ever going to get one???

[houndartemis.livejournal.com]

I've got my fingers crossed for someday getting the Guild symbol on a messenger bag. And oh yeah, it'd be cool to see if they did a Dr. Girlfriend shirt.

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

I'd just about kill for a messenger bag with the Guild symbol on it, I seriously would...

Got Mine!

Had to have it, so I got the subscription, we can share if you can deal with the 2XL and the mens shirts, John.

I also have too many t-shirts to justify spending money on this, but it is tempting.

So it sucked, like most A&E remakes? I'm thinking of the copy of "Lathe of Heaven" that I had picked up, thinking it was the PBS version. I dropped it on my MythTV schedule anyway - I can always delete it.

It wasn't like the original was Oscar material or anything but this one was just plain silly. And mixing in all the current references to pop culture wasn't helping. One of the scenes that made me groan aloud was when the stoner girl claimed not to watch "real" news, only "Colbert".

Oh my

[andybeals.livejournal.com]

Oh my. I'm going to see if the RCPL has the original for loan. Failing that, netflix! MythTV will pick up the remake this weekend.

Andromeda Strain was amongst a group of three movies that my mom had to go see in the early seventies (or late sixties???) for what we would now call a "computer literacy" class. My first exposure to sci-fi cinema, along with 2001 and THX-1138.

that was painful

[andybeals.livejournal.com]

I felt dirtier after watching that than I do the lie detector show (which works out the commercial detection and jump ahead functions of MythTV).

That was BAD.

Truly bad.

Awful.

BOOOOO!

You have no one but yourself to blame, I'm afraid, as I did warn you that it was tragic ;)
