There was a trend for a while of websites and books coming out with titles like Dave Willis is a Jerkface (First name, last name, is a, adjective). And while Blair is indeed a hottie, I just wanted to see if it worked with any cool sounding name.
It does (sorry B).
There was a better point to this… Oh! Pin-ups! Blair is totally pinup. And I’m going to start using that word
for anything that reminds me of the 30’s and 40’s. Not, you know, the whole beating your wife and racism thing,
more of the better parts of Americana around that time. The planes were cooler, the rules were
more lax, the uniforms were better, and the women were… pin-up. Maybe I’m just looking at it through
the sepia tinted goggles of nostalgia and piloting.
Seeing a friend – who shall remain nameless – go through a
marriage that began as malt-shakes at the diner and has evolved into a 1950’s
post-war couple, kind of makes me hate the 50’s. So…screw that decade.

Finally saw the movie Ted
this weekend. As far as I could
tell, it was the heartwarming tale of a former rapper inexplicably bedding a
pre-Oz Mila Kunis while she desperately
tries to leave behind Family Guy in
the form of Seth MacFarlane’s ghost possessing a Teddy Ruxpin. It gets a 8/10 purely because it felt
like everyone involved was three seconds away from saying wicked pissa. Otherwise it would have been 10/10,
bonus points for Flash Gordon.

The Fast and The
Furious 6 came out this weekend as well. Thanks but no, I’ll keep my doses of Vin Diesel to 90
minutes stretches of Riddick. Michelle Rodriguez would probably be a
good excuse to subject myself to watching a tank chase down tricked out Hondas,
maybe. Or I could just watch
season 2 of Lost and call it
even. Dwayne Johnson lost all my
respect when he decided that The Tooth Fairy
was a good idea.
I highly recommend Tucker
and Dale vs. Evil and Lesbian Vampire
Killers. If you have time.
Two things in the news that matter. The first is some little Chinese
asshole teen decided to deface the Luxor in Egypt. Who agrees that the little doucher needs to be
keelhauled? Accordingly, this type
of behavior has become the normal as wealthy Chinese tourists have replaced the
(now) atypical ugly American. But
hey, when you’ve got to spend time teaching an entire nation how to stand in
line and not spit all over the sidewalk, what do you expect? (Anyone remember the lead up to the Beijing
Olympics?)

| Eh, I still would. |
The second was that Putin (or is it Medevev?) has decided on
a course of action in Syria which completely contradictory to what almost every
other free country in the UN believes to be a good idea. They are going to arm (and presumably
train) the Syrian government – you know the one? The same one accused of some serious violations of human
rights? – with S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems. That’s a generation 5 weapon, very advanced. I guess they wanted to keep ‘hot heads
[sic]’ from entering the conflict.
That means anyone supporting the rebels or preventing the government
from bombing civilians OR attacking literally any aircraft they can see (like,
for instance, those flying into Israel).
Regional stability my left nut.
As an afterthought, apparently Mermaids are now a thing. So, uh, hell yeah.
Trader is almost done. 7 more chapters, 10,000 more words, and cover art. That's a book ladies and gentlemen. 235 pages so far. WOOT!
