Zodiac
Zodiac, I don't like slasher movies. I don't want to see a pretty teenager screaming and get covered in a mixture, of tomato sauce and red wine Its not my thing. I do love cop shows ;The Shield, NYPD Blue, Homicide I love history, and this is a piece about the Zodiac murders. So I gave it a try. (2021 edit - I now watch a lot more True Crime ) Zodiac inspired the Scorpio killer in Dirty Harry. Who was played by Andrew G Robinson.-Who later played Garak, in Deep Space Nine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zodiac_Killer_in_popular_culture I remember him in Nash Bridges A pop culture killer. Why did he (Zodiac) get to be this spotlight? The Zodiac Killer, sent notes, to several San Francisco newspapers, recounting his deeds. Threating more murders if the notes were not published. Zodiac also demanded, the Newspapers print copies of a cypher, He had created proclaiming and relishing the murders he had committed The film starts by recounting the murder of...
My Boss I had a problem, at work. The powers that be for some reason neglected to send me, a copy of our latest contract. The Union, and Management have negotiated a new deal. Thus I was entitled to some backpay. Anyway it took, three weeks, for me to get the piece of paper. Detailing my new contract. This was achieved by Boss calling and cajoling HR until they sent me the form So I would like to thank her. I complain about my job alot. Its not Hell either __________ Good luck, to my friends in Arkanes. ___________
Dinosaur news
The terrifying velociraptors that ripped apart everyone they could catch in Jurassic Park should have been given feathers by the director Steven Spielberg. Researchers now say that the dinosaurs, which leapt into the public imagination when they were featured in the hit 1993 film, were misrepresented. After analysing fossilised bones they have discovered that the velociraptor was not the smooth-skinned creature portrayed in the film, but had feathers. The discovery means that as well as being more decorative than the creatures that appeared in the film they could have been an even more terrifying predator because the feathers would probably have been improved their manoeuvrability. Scientists have suspected for several years that velociraptors were feathered beasts, but only now have they been able to identify what they believe is conclusive proof. Close analysis of a velociraptor forelimb unearthed in Mongolia in 1998 reveals that quill knobs were present on the fossilised bone....
Nightmare I had a terrible nightmare last night. I dreamed I was sitting by my computer. I had been on it for too long. Which is not healthy. I know. Anyway, I started to feel my body begin to jerk. As if I had been suffering from a fit. I began to lie down, and I turned off my pc, and my laptop. I felt myself losing control. As if I was going to have a fit. (BTW I have never had a fit, in my life. ) I then felt someone grab me. At first I thought they where trying to put me in the recovery position. Help me in some way. Then I felt them strap me down. I could feel and out of the corner, of my eyes see straps. I started to shout, and say no, no. Then I was gagged. Which was awful. At that point I woke myself, up _______________ I have an awful headache today. I finished watching Battlestar Galatica season 3. Last night I watched Heroes, and taped them on to shiny Dvd's

Heroes
Why everyone needs a Hero I took notes, on the first episode. The series came highly recommended. I can't seem to find my notes. I mean't to write this up, a while back. I noticed the first episode of the series is on sale. So I'll write here about Hiro and Claire. Who ever has been writing this, has also been watching lost. It was Lost, that first did the subtitles in prime time. The use of Flash back. The ships passing in the night. ( The leads cross each others paths before there meeting on screen) There is a little B5 and BTVS here. There is a lot of foreshadowing. Hiro, the Japanese salaryman who can teleport. Is descended of Jin from Lost. Although he is Japanese rather then Korean. He is an everyman charcter. He is an innocent. Like a child, he must learn to speak. (The series follows his learning of Japanese to English) The references to spock, and Kirk. Star trek, Claire Bennett. Well she is just a peach. (actually I don't like peaches, water melon,...

I have bought ``Battlestar Galatica'' season three. Sadly the bxuom ensign chest and pale eyes does not feature. I watched it last night.

I bought a HD-D DVD recorder from Daewoo yesterday. I still can't get it to work :(
I am going to go to Washington DC, for my Birthday. Washington DC was the first place. I ever went to by myself. I had been in college for a year. In fact I had crossed the Atlantic. Yet DC in November 1997, was the first time I was by myself. No meals to miss. No roomate. It was just me. This time. I brought help... (Oh this time, I will be of legal drinking age. I won't be staying a 30 dollar cab ride away from the city center. I won't be eating at Mickey dees all the time either)
