Every time you thought that was it there was another fight scene.<br />The Joker was completely &amp; totally an agent of chaos... Perfect.<br />So... Back home &amp; to my cross-your-fingers &amp; hope this works plan to reclaim my apartment...<br />So... I leave my window open... The side it opens onto is fenced in &amp; this being Chicago, the building next door is also a fence jump in the way.<br />The first fence is an electronic gate, which will allow me access to the fence surrounding my window... There&#39;s a gap between the frame &amp; gate that I might be able to ninja through... Then I notice a side gap between gate, side, &amp; garage that looks easier...<br />After sliding through this... Picture: a 2 or 3 ft gap, but an overhang from the garage making you need to bend like an &#39;s&#39;... I clumsily drop to the yard &amp; the first fence is jumped. Yay me, the ninja!<br />I&#39;ve been playing a lot of Gaiden Black, which was inspiring, yet daunting, since I am, indeed, not a ninja outside of the game.<br />The next fence had no such helpful hand &amp; foot holds... I had only the tree that put me at roughly the right height, but bent away from the fence at a easily climbed angle. <br />I tried quite a few different approaches... The mostly likely being to have my toe jammed into the top of the fence, my other pushing off of the tree, thus vaulting me over the fence &amp; in front of my very own teasingly open window...<br />Sadly, the same imagination that pictured ninja Ryu vaulting it with a flip, also supplied me with variations on how I might fail...<br />I leapt over to slam hands first through the glass of my window...<br />...to smack roughly against the stone wall...<br />...to impale myself through leg, ass, back, or balls...<br />After hanging in varying poses of sweaty anticipation, psyching myself up for an increasingly more inescapable, &amp; grisly consequence...<br />I grudgingly left the neighbor&#39;s yard by the front gate.<br />I felt defeated by my fear, yet suspecting that fear had saved my balls for another day.<br />I slept on my friend&#39;s spare bed &amp; accepted my landlady&#39;s suggestions that I hang my keys around my neck with only a twinge of irritation. <br />Since I&#39;m not a ninja, clearly, the noise they might make would be fine... </p> <p></p><p><br /> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00e398b76ac0000400fae8cd4287000b" at:format="extra-large" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-extra-large photo-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 10px auto;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item photo-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/photo/6a00e398b76ac0000400fae8cd4287000b.html"><img src="http://a7.vox.com/6a00e398b76ac0000400fae8cd4287000b-500pi" alt="The Dark Knight &amp; Break-In Hijinks..." title="The Dark Knight &amp; Break-In Hijinks..." /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/photo/6a00e398b76ac0000400fae8cd4287000b.html" title="The Dark Knight &amp; Break-In Hijinks...">The Dark Knight &amp; Break-In Hijinks...</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/post/the-dark-knight-break-in-hijinks.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00e398b76ac0000400fad69ae9cc0005?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> moblog batman flick gamer's imagination ninja mimicry http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/post/bar-life-the-butterfly-effect.html?_c=feed-rss-full nobody@vox.com(Seamus Id) http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/post/bar-life-the-butterfly-effect.html?_c=feed-rss-full http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/post/bar-life-the-butterfly-effect.html?_c=feed-rss-full Tue, 15 Jul 2008 02:11:04 -0500 <p>What&#39;s the popular definition of insanity?<br />A repeated action with hope of a different outcome?<br />That seems simple enough, right?<br />So much of the world is a gray area though...<br />It&#39;s sort of like the butterfly effect (chaos theory).<br />One little thing...

I&#39;d like to just forget the Hulk (2003) was ever made. <br />I was a big fan of the Tv show from the 70s &amp; 80s... Another comic title I never really picked up.<br />I was excited about the Hulk (2003), but I never got to the theater. It&#39;s one of the flicks I just bought the DVD for. I was sure I&#39;d like it.<br />Wow! It was bad. They made it look like a comic book by doing these cheesy &amp; hideously distracting panels between scenes. The story was all emotional relationship drama... Where was Hulk SMASH!! ?</p><p>Understandably, I watched this preview at Iron Man with measured enthusiasm.<br />I went this morning, hoping to have a character I liked redeemed.<br />And I wasn&#39;t disappointed. This remake was everything that (2003) should have been.<br />The Hulk still looked a little too cartoony at the beginning, but it faded after a few minutes &amp; was believable enough.<br />I&#39;ll be buying this DVD on purpose. <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00e398b76ac0000400fa967eb3540003" at:format="extra-large" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-extra-large photo-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 10px auto;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item photo-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/photo/6a00e398b76ac0000400fa967eb3540003.html"><img src="http://a4.vox.com/6a00e398b76ac0000400fa967eb3540003-500pi" alt="The Incredible Hulk" title="The Incredible Hulk" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/photo/6a00e398b76ac0000400fa967eb3540003.html" title="The Incredible Hulk">The Incredible Hulk</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/post/the-incredible-hulk.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00e398b76ac0000400fae8c2a03e000b?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> moblog redemption flick http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/post/iron-man.html?_c=feed-rss-full nobody@vox.com(Seamus Id) http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/post/iron-man.html?_c=feed-rss-full http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/post/iron-man.html?_c=feed-rss-full Fri, 13 Jun 2008 16:32:30 -0500 <p>I&#39;ve never really read much about Iron Man.
