What's Up Weather?


The weather has been pretty wacky around here lately.  If it were a person, it would be one of those people who stands in front of the cereal in the grocery store and spends twenty minutes trying to determine which box to take.  Will it rain?  Will it snow?  It is going to be warm?  How about cold?  There is no telling with this weather.  It’s like playing a game of Russian Roulette where the gun is filled with bullets but each bullet has different weather.  You don’t know what it’s going to be like when you step outside the front door in the morning.

Today was no different.  After a warm sunny day Wednesday, today I woke up and walked out to a blowing snowstorm.  This is not what I expected.  I guess that I would have known if I ever checked the weather but I don’t.  I like a little bit of surprise.  I don’t need that surprise every single day.  Especially when the surprise is blowing snow that likes to go all over your face and make you freeze half to death.  That’s not my idea of a fun weather surprise.

When I go outside, I like to be able to not feel like I’m dying.  Blowing snow tends to make me feel like death is knocking on my mental door.  It’s not a fun feeling to have snow flying into your face and either freezing or melting, depending on location and the part of the flake of snow.  It’s just too bad that I don’t have anything to cover my face in situations such as blowing snow.  It might make things easier.

Wednesday was a nice warm day.  Any snow that we had received melted away.  I felt like I could have worn shorts.  That’s how warm it was.  I was not expecting it to snow like it did today in the least.  The warm day got my hopes up.  Maybe the winter was coming to an end.  Maybe it would get warmer outside.  But, alas, my hope was not to help.  The snow came, the cold came back.  I should have expected it.  I am in Canada.

I’m going to stop complaining now.  This has gone on long enough.  It’s time to get down to other things I need to do today that don’t include complaining about something that I have no possible way to control.  Unless I build some sort of weather changing machine.  Though, most days would just be sunny, until the evening where there would be a warm rain.  Nobody but me wants that every day, do they?

Is "Real Steel" Like "Over the Top"?

When I was going through my weekly movie binge a couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon two movies that I had never seen before that tackled a very similar story.   It was an odd thing to have happen because I didn’t know of any similarities between the two movies.   The first was Real Steel, a movie about a man who participates in robot boxing while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   The second was Over the Top, a movie about a man who participates in arm wrestling while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   Similar?   I think so. Let’s begin with Real Steel.   I watched this one because, why the hell not?   I quite enjoyed the movie and by the end I was rooting for Hugh Jackman’s character to help his robot, Atom, to a victory.   The thing to point out about Real Steel is how good the visual effects were.   I wasn’t expecting too much going in, but I thought they masterfully crafted each robot in a way that it entirely fit its surroundings and didn’t

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Season 2, Episode 8: The Power Stealer

Image
Last time we sat down with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers , Tommy was going through some serious stuff.   His powers were running low because Lord Zedd was targeting him.   He felt hopeless.   His friends were comforting him.   There was also a Robo Goat trying to take a powerful sword and use it against the Earth.   There were fights all over the place and an emotional hook that was unmatched in any episode that wasn’t in a multi-part arc. This episode, there might be follow-up to the Tommy storyline.   It would be nice to see more of the struggle with his powers.   Right now, that’s the one throughline that has been playing out.   II hope this episode continues to have some sort of meaning to the overall story, instead of being a self-contained and meaningless.   The show needs to grow and evolve, with a storyline that builds to something significant.   Having episodes that keep the story at a standstill is boring.   The story needs to move forward.   Will this episode d

A Short Description of how Baby's Day Out (1994) is a Live Action Cartoon

Animated movies have been a large fixture throughout cinematic history.   There is currently an Academy Award category devoted entirely to animated features.   They are an important part of the cinematic landscape.   Movies would be completely different if not for the animated films that have been popular throughout the past century. Children have always been a large part of the popularity of cartoons.   This has not been solely a movie based genre.   Television also thrives on animated shows.   As a child, I can remember watching cartoons on Saturday mornings.   In the children’s cartoons, characters could be forced into dangerous predicaments, get injured or nearly killed, and continue on with their lives as if nothing ever happened to them.   This was the way of cartoons such as Looney Toons , where Elmer Fudd, Wile E. Coyote, Daffy Duck, and Yosemite Sam would always suffer great physical trauma, then return to their normal selves in the next scene. This is probably
