Here are the photos of this year's Kinetic Sculpture Race from KineticBaltimore.com. Good accompanying story as well.

The other high point of the weekend was seeing Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. w00t! I'm with BW Ventril here. And honestly amazed that many of the critic-types are so whelmed. Fuck all, boys... what more do you want from a movie?!? It's got singing dolphins, Stephen Fry, sock puppets, oldschool Marvin, Oolon Coluphid, Simon Jones, cool FX, and Alan Rickman as a manically depressed robot.

I was bummed though that I had to go to IMDB when I got home to correctly recognize Bill Nighy (Slartibartfast) as having played Philip in Shaun of the Dead.

We also watched Hellboy (which was fun), Starship Troopers (which was stoopid and over-the-top in that Verhoevenian manner) and the latter sections of Pirates of the Caribbean (supa-fun, and the sequel to which will include the aforementioned Mr. Nighy, or so quoth IMDB)

Well. I'm actually feeling rather good about this. I think we've all arrived at a very special place. Spiritually. Ecumenically. Gramatically.
