Summer Movie to Skip
This really has nothing to do with NoMi. This posting is about my whimsical desire for cheap entertainment. I’ve seen all of the super hero reboot movies that came out this year. My expectations were low, therefore I was not disappointed. That is, I was not disappointed until I saw Transformers 3.
It was a movie with hours of fighting, explosions, and collateral damage. The acting was worse than Don Allen’s spelling. The plot development was shittier than JACC’s strategic planning. And the ending was so unbelievably lame I could barely believe it.
All of the Transformers movies have been directed by Michael Bay. There’s a certain consistency to Michael Bay movies. Beyond the fact that they all suck more than a Hoover or a Penn Avenue hooker, they’re almost all completely special effects driven.
Seriously, this movie was so bad that I fell asleep during one of the never ending fight scenes. And to top it off, my date also fell asleep. My friend Jeff, a.k.a. the Hawthorne Hawkman, showed me this YouTube clip after I told him how bad Transformers was. I laughed so hard, I cried.

River of Ilion

River of Ilion
Remember last week when it was hotter than Hades? One of those days it was 100+ out with brutal humidity. I was walking up Irving past Glengale Park and what do I see? A river of water pooling at the end of the park from a river of water flowing downhill from Illion.

| WTF? |
Naturally curious we—that’s me and the dog now—walked up the hill on Ilion. The flowing water gradually got wider and quicker.
 |
| Those rapids are just about kayak ready. |
Ah but of course! An annual tradition here in the ghetto; when it gets too damn hot the fire hydrants must be opened. Of course the waste is incredible and I’m sure it’s illegal, but when has that ever stopped the darling angels of Dawgsville—North Minneapolis—from doing what they want.

| Big D cooling off NoMi style. |

| Public water works at it's finest. |
As for the fire hydrant, I don’t particularly give a shit if it’s illegal or not. Let’s file that one under “Not My Problem”, a file folder that’s getting really big. If I had the time I would have gone back and joined my neighbor, Big D, in the water party. Good times.

1st Up: Status Update
Hello readers! It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged, obviously. This blogger—perhaps infrequently—has been busy focusing on more important things than this. However, I’ve been walking around the neighborhood a lot and I’ve seen things. Finally, I feel like blogging again. So let’s get on with it!
On Deck: New Partner in Crime
This is Amelia. She’s a charming little Border Collie mixed with Jack Russell. Every day, literally every day, I get compliments on the cuteness of my dog. I’ve had her for about a month now and she’s doing great. Most of what I’ve got to say comes from my observations while walking the dog. Stay tuned for more.
