Crikey - must be summer, haven't blogged for weeks. been on vacation .

yikes

Ok, so here is something - the "Periodic Table of the Internet" - rather entertaining.

 

Saw "Transformers" twice over the last week of vacation. My kids proclaimed it "The Best Movie Ever".

 
It was really good. Ok, yes, I am sure that there are holes in the plot that you could drive  *ahem* a truck through....but damn....it was FUN! Loud, Noisy, yes, a "boy movie" yes,  - lots of military hardware and non-stop action.....but FUN!  And quite the recruiting movie for the military. Made me want to sign up just so I could spout out all those military phrases and acronyms!

Apparently Michael Bay is on such good terms with the military that he can order F22's the way the rest of us order french fries.  The CG on the "transforming" robots was impressive. Apparently it required "assloads" of processing power and the complex ones still took 38 hours to render. No kidding.
 

Ok, so this is why I love the internet. Obscure egg recipes inspired by movies.

I watched "V for Vendetta" again this weekend (see blog entry below from last week) Still really like that movie, but one thing that really caught my eye was a breakfast dish....  Both "V" and "Gordon" (movie characters in "V") cooked the same thing  -  "egg in a hole" - basically a piece of bread, with a hole in the middle, fried together with an egg in the hole.  It looked really tasty. In the movie, it was  referred to it as an "eggie in a biscuit".

So I googled "eggie in a biscuit" - didn't come up with anthing by that name, but kept trying "egg in a hole in toast" or something lame like that and ended up with this link :http://www.flickr.com/photos/churl/114472624/

Scrolling down, I find lots of other folks  as intrigued by this breakfast dish as I, and also  inspired by "V for Vendetta" to seek it out.

The internet is great for all these little sub-cultures or micro climates.  It shouldn't surprise me and it doesn't, but I am still fascinated by it.
