Tiger by the Tale

Hello My Minions!

Sorry for the delay in posting!

The nights during the week that I normally search for pornam online and posting were pre-empted due to other more urgent duties that I had to attend to.

So, here’s an update.

Work has been busy for me for the past couple of months, as I’ve been down a person on my team. Well! We finally made an offer to an individual whom I think would be a big asset to my team, and he accepted!! He starts May 12th! (Of course this will mean even more work for me for awhile, as we’ll have to train him to get him up to speed, but I think that I will finally have a stable team that I can hang onto for at least a few years!)

In other news, I am in the market for a new (used) car. My Buick is still running well, but, the car is now 10 years old, and it looks it! The paint is starting to oxidize all over the body, and as the car is black it really shows up!

Also part of the plastic around the windows are starting to chip away! I have never seen this in any car that I have previously owned. Maybe this is common to cars made by General Motors? This is the first GM car that I have ever owned (my previous cars have all been either Toyotas or Fords), so I have never experienced these problems before. Also, lots of other little things are starting to go, so I figure now is probably the best time to start looking for a replacement before all the cars with better milage are gone and there’s nothing out there but tanks and Hummers…

Anyway, so I’m considering a Nissan Sentra, as Husbandji just got one and it’s very nice. I would love a Hyundai Sonata, but, most used ones in good shape are out of my price range ($10,000-$12,000). So we’ll see…

 It’s also been a busy week of TV watching! What with American Idol ( I was truly surprised that Carly was sent home. I’d have thought for sure it would have been Brooke or Sayeesha!), a new episode of Ugly Betty (Ooh! It is getting so good again!!) and of course new episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures and Doctor Who we’ve had more to watch than normal for the Ashram!

And OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you see HER?!!!! At the end of Doctor Who?!!! When Donna was telling that blonde woman where she put the car keys, and the blonde woman turned around AND IT WAS ROSE!!!!!!!!!!!! And then she just FADED AWAY!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!!!!!!

It’s a well known rumor that Rose is coming back for the season finale, but, could you just die?!!!!!!

 On the blogging front, my dear minion, Ur-Spo, has been blogging alot about Godzilla.

I feel that Godzilla has gotten a bad rap over the years, primarily due to his cheesier films of the Sixties and Seventies. I mean, really, this scene is hard for even me, a die-hard fan, to watch:

But the trouble is that most people don’t realize that Toho Studios continued to make new Godzilla films after the Seventies were over!

In fact, there have been THIRTEEN films made since then!

My personal favorite is Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. A vivid reimagining of the Godzilla Universe, where none of the events in any of the previous films happened except the original “Gojira“. The story was very daring and the special effects were top-notch! 

Godzilla is truly a force of evil in this film. He was created from a combination of the nuclear testing of the Forties/Fifties, plus he is the “essence” of the souls who died in agony as a result of WWII (stay with me here!). There’s some Shinto symbolism in the film in regards to the “Three Sacred Beasts of Japan” (Baragon, Mothra and King Ghidorah (in his first role as a hero!)) whom an ancient prophecy says will defend Japan against Godzilla. This clip is a series of scenes from the film:

Fabulous…

 That’s all for now kiddies! Talk to you soon!
