Tank…. load the jump program.

May 31, 2003 By: bio Category: General

I got a call from the dealer yesterday saying that my car was ready. Of course, they didn’t get the message until it was too late to do anything about it, so I had planned on picking it up this morning. Then, at 9:30 this morning, I got another call from them. They took another look at it and decided to send it back to the tinter again because there’s a few more bubbles.

*sigh*

At least they’re looking at their work now and verifying that it’s been done right (which is a nice change of pace!).

Like a nuprin, it's little, yellow, different!

There is one point of convenience to picking up my car today…. the movie theatre is right across the street. We have tickets for the 3:15 showing of the Matrix Reloaded. I’ve been waiting for things to die down a bit (and my back to be able to sit in a chair for a couple hours) before I saw it. I’m more than a little jacked to finally get out and watch this little wonder of cinemagraphic magic. Hopefully it will be decent (read: not your typical stupid ass sequel).

There’s been a lot of chat on a mailing list I somehow got on over the film. No spoilers or anything like that, but rather a discussion over why the machines chose to plug in people rather than, say… cattle. A cow has far more bio-mass than a human, is much more docile, and would require a far less complex matrix to keep them happy.

Who would go to see the Mootrix – Re-pasturized? I could just imagine the virtual world being nothing but a large field, with all the cattle happily grazing away on virtual grass. When a Jersey Cow gets his training from Moopheus, and Moopheus orders Tank to “load the jump program”, the scene changes to another large grassy field with the moon hanging low in the sky.

I don't think they'd be wearing leather in this movie

Or maybe I just have too much free time.

And now, without further ado… the link of the day: How Much Is Inside? (The Vegemite edition)

Because it’s a known fact:

And now you know!
