Heavy Metal Sunday is totally commercial and has hope for the future.

One of the best things about the upcoming Iron Man 2 is the presence of a lot of AC/DC on the soundtrack album. I really think the band's energy better captures the spirit of Tony stark and his armored alter-ego. Recently, as part of the pre-release hype, there was an event held at Rochester Castle in Kent, England. Using the castle's Great Keep (which dates to 1127) as a starting point, a company called Seeper created a mapping multimedia show that literally brings down the house, all to the classic song Shoot to Thrill off 1980's Back in Black

And in the hope for the future department, I give you the cutest headbanging ever as the Beana rocks out to Thunderstruck.

All together everyone: Awwww....

Writer's Block: First and only

Zulu. They got it perfect the first time.

With no particular place to go...

Today kshandra and I had one thing on the agenda, a trip up to Concord for britgeekgrrl's garage sale. Getting me out of the house on the weekends is hard, simply because I spend all week in a truck and the las thing I want on the weekend is more time in a moving vehicle. But the call of really cheap RPG stuff called, so up we went.

Along the way I mentioned it might be fun, since we were already that far north, to just continue on so I could show Kiri one of my favorite drives. "Sure, why not?" was the reply. So after scoring some really cool stuff at the garage sale, we were off.

A map made for two.

We stopped for lunch at a truck stop at the CA-12/I-5 junction and briefly debated heading to one of the wineries that dominate the Lodi area. However I'd want to do a full day there and it was getting late. Instead, I introduced Kirsten to the bane of my existence, SR-4 between Stockton and Brentwood and showed her The Vendor in the Corn. From there down Vasco Road and past my favorite rock formation anywhere. She's now seen two out of the three really long drives on my route.

This was a really great day, made even better the complete lack of planning. We simply must do it again sometime.
