Today saw another entry into the orgy of bloodlust and idiocy that is the Republican presidential primary, I was traumatized by a terrifying video from Donald Trump's rally from the previous night, and just didn't have it in me for anymore of our horrible wannabe overlords, here's the video if you want to check it out, I could only handle it in about thirty second increments:

I basically wanted to die after that, so I spent the day immersed in my video games, only emerging to read commentary on the debate, which as near as I can tell Trump won, Cruz decided to attack "New York values" for some reason, and Ben Carson showed that he is scared as hell of ISIS, apparently they will shut down our electronics with an EMP attack in the "exo-atmosphere" then deploy a dirty bomb while hacking our shut down electronics using cyber warfare, which I am pretty sure was the plot to a Tom Clancy novel, who am I kidding that is the plot to every Tom Clancy novel.


I did find out that apparently JJ Abrams managed to make a sequel to Cloverfield without anyone noticing, it comes out in March and from the short trailer looks pretty neat, I liked Cloverfield, shaky cam notwithstanding, and do want to know more about the events and consequences from the whole thing.

Alan Rickman died this morning, and I am a little upset by that, people remember him as Snape and Metatron, but I will always know him as Hans Gruber from Die Hard, he of the unreasonably complicated heist plan and the very threatening manner, cancer at age 69 again, it's been a harsh week for more or less decent celebrities dying.

I don't have much more than that today, tomorrow is for job hunting stuff, so perhaps I'll end up with some decent material out of that.
