Tumblr + Yahoo Sitting In A Tree...

Two things:

- I totally wanted to wake up to find that Tumblr had been renamed Yumblr by their new overlords…

- I totally wanted to wake up to find that all the news media got it wrong and Tumblr had been bought out by Yahoo Serious for $1.1 billion…

Little Known Fact About Me #17.2

Wed, 15 May 2013 23:31:06 -0400

My parents purchased a summer home/potential retirement place in Florida about a year and a half ago. Because of this they are frequently flying from Hartford to Tampa and back. Like… I’m pretty sure they have made the roundtrip about 14 times.

They always fly Southwest because, fuck it, it’s cheap. In addition, they have had Southwest rapid reward credit cards for a while now. I, too, have one of these cards and every purchase I make, along with every purchase they make, adds to the abundance of miles they accrue.

Thanks to this abundance of miles we are able to fly Veronica’s sister and her significant other up to the wedding. Total cost for the two of them to fly roundtrip from Houston to Hartford?

$20

Two roundtrip plane tickets for less than the cost of a dinner for 2 at Chili’s…

That’s freaking amazing

film-dot-com: TWITTER FIGHTS BACK AGAINST THE RACIST REACTION...

TWITTER FIGHTS BACK AGAINST THE RACIST REACTION TO A BLACK HUMAN TORCH

Yesterday, the folks over at The Wrap revealed that director Josh Trank is considering the possibility of casting his “Chronicle” star Michael B. Jordan in the role of comic book superhero Johnny Storm — aka The Human Torch — in the upcoming relaunch of “The Fantastic Four,” which is scheduled to hit theaters in the summer of 2015.

Needless to say, fan reaction to this idea has been mixed, falling somewhere between “that’s cool” and “OMG IT’S ARMAGEDDON!!!!” on the freak out scale. The “problem” some fans see with the casting news? Jordan happens to be African-American, while Johnny Storm traditionally is not.

Now, this doesn’t really seem like that big a deal to us. Jordan is already one of the most highly respected actors of his generation, not only landing a major smash in “Chronicle” but also earning rave reviews for his work on the legendary HBO series “The Wire” as well as the breakout Sundance hit “Fruitvale Station.” And if there’s one thing that Marvel’s superhero movies have proven over the past five years, it’s that the quality of the actor is even more important than the quality of the CGI. Getting top talent is trumps all.

At least, to some people. To others… well, maybe not so much.

Yet not a fuck was given when they cast Samuel L. Jackson as the historically white (except in the bullshit Ultimate universe) Nick Fury…

C’MON, RACISTS! AT LEAST SHOW CONSISTENCY!

It has been one week since I started my new job. In this past week I have spent a fair amount of hours staring at a computer screen and occasionally communicating with people.

Consequently, the last thing I want to do anymore is come home and stare at Tumblr and occasionally communicate with people here…

That moment when you are courteously arguing with the registrar of the college you are transferring to over a class you took two years ago that they claim will not be allowed to transfer thus making you 3 credits short of matriculating at the level you were expecting…
