OT: 10,000 Pt XL - Spring is (no longer) in the Air

[KirbyDots]

I can't decide if this Halloween duo of costumes is horrible, or amazing

Ernest Scared Stupid, both horrible and amazing.

NO MORE RED DWARF IT WAS A SEMI SERIOUS QUESTION

Aww, but I like Red Dwarf.

Man SJ has way more traffic than I remembered. The drive from sjc to los gatos took way longer than the last time I came home to see my folks.

Depends on time of day (and activities happening around the area).

No, traffic is much worse EVERYWHERE here. It sometimes takes 3 signal cycles to cross Wolfe on El Camino at times. That is insane. It very rarely ever took 2 cycles only a few years ago.

It's only gonna get worse in my area when the Apple campus opens at Wolfe and 280 and the new complex by Java and 237, which many suspect is Google.

Anyone watching 24-hours of Le Mans? Best motorsport event of the world!

Salinas gas station offering itself on AirBnB (very minimal accommodations -- bring your own air mattress).

I tried going out by De Anza college to that Chinese place Hong fu cuz I like their chicken chow Mein and holy **** did it take forever to go from hollenbeck onto Stevens creek.

Wow. Huge heartbreak for Toyota at 24 hours of Le Mans. They had nice one minute lead after 23 hours and 55 minutes and then when there was 5 minute left there was some kind of mechanical failure and they lost the lead and Porsche took the victory. So Toyota are basically the San Jose Sharks of the Endurance racing. Still I can't believe what happened.

Sad to hear. He still had a lot of potential.

Hopefully they do him right in the new movie.

Now that spring is over, I am taking name suggestions for the OT thread.

 

[The Nemesis]

spring is no longer in the air.

Watched Finding Dory yesterday. I initially had it ranked 7th after Nemo, but I'm wondering if I'd actually put it above it. Slightly less feels and the story wasn't as cohesive, but it was more comedic and might be more enjoyable overall. Plus that Pixar Short is probably the best yet.

I found Dory kind of annoying in this movie though. She doesn't stop talking for a minute. I did love Piper though. Now that was adorable.

I think I ranked Dory 12th though. So many pixar films are so good, and I haven't seen Brave or Good Dinosaur.

 

[bluefunnel]

I will probably see Dory on Saturday if nothing comes up, I have some hopes for it but pixar sequels rarely live up to the originals.

I only saw The Good Dinosaur without any volume(at the drive in, the movie I was watching was boring and it was playing on the next screen), it didn't look great.

The only other Pixar movie that I haven't seen is Up. I saw the incredibly sad beginning, but the Blu Ray messed up right after that and I have yet to see the rest.

It feels weird to me to use sriracha in foods that aren't asian.

I loved watching the original in the theater as a kid, so I'm seeing it tomorrow with low expectations. After so many years, I just want it to be a decent popcorn flick.
