Douche Salute 1: The Gap Driver
These guys cause most annoyance when they travel well below the speed limit in the fast lane, and leave at least a 50 car gap in front, but somehow they pick the slow car next to them to ‘wingman’, so you can’t get around them.
They also like to slow to a crawl 50m from a traffic light, which is most annoying when you’re trying to turn, but the turning lane is being blocked by them…

new feature

In vent on J August 2012 by Ferris

I’m going to start a new feature on my blog: the douche salute.
I’m going to, from time to time, salute the warts of society that aren’t really doing anything particularly wrong, but just cause annoyance whenever they’re present. I’ll mostly use it as a quick vent avenue 🙂
So, go ahead and read the next post.

I’ve been asked to play the drums for a big musical production.
I was asked Monday. The opening night is Saturday. First practice tonight. Dress rehearsal tomorrow.
No pressure:)

bourne again

In review on J August 2012 by Ferris

So, the new Bourne movie has no Matt Damon, but it has the Bourne name. That means lots of action with Mr. Shakey Cam.
It had the same feeling as the other movies, but was a bit hollow story-wise.
Go into this one just to watch a good action movie, just don’t expect another Bourne masterpiece.
3/5

I just received my online order of 6 Blu rays. There was a 2 for 1 special on so I thought I’d indulge.

They include:
The Bourne Trilogy
Gone in 60 Seconds
The Shawshank Redemption
Scott Pilgrim vs The World

3 of those are in my all-time top 10

I was looking forward to the new NBA season after the first trades on July, but after today’s big news the season is going to be even greater.
Who can stand up to Miami? The Lakers with Superman!
Welcome back to obscurity, Orlando.

empty hunting

In review on J August 2012 by Ferris

I watched Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter last night. It’s been out 5 days and my cinema was literally empty. I considered that a bad sign. But I was wrong.
Overall you need to go into the movie thinking its going to be stupid and over the top; I mean, just consider the title.
I liked it.
