Another Friday night coming and going...

It gets lonely at work sometimes, especially on a Friday night. Tonight, I'm watching MST3K. Specifically, episode 516, where they watched Kathy Ireland's magnum opus Alien from L.A.. It's one of their finer mockings really, since this really isn't a very good film.

For those who've not been subjected to this "epic", Kathy plays a timid, nerdy girl who goes in search of her missing explorer father and discovers a whole underground world, ostensibly Atlantis, which inevitably teaches her how to be brave and sexy so she can show up the hunky guy who dumped her at the beginning of the film. I just saw the part where she got the message about her dad's disappearance.

Quote: "My father's dead... he fell down a bottomless pit."

Well, despite my uncontrollable laughter at her delivery (mainly because her voice in this film is about an octave higher than usual), a question struck me. How could she possibly know he fell down a bottomless pit? For that matter, since they showed him exploring alone, how did anyone know?! Am I reading too much into this? I suppose I am.

On a lighter note, we are reaching the end of Spring Break this week. Back to school on Monday. But, in reverse I have about half the week off of work. Crazy, man... crazy. At some point, things will sync up so that I am off from school & work at the same time. Maybe this summer.
