going on the pil tonight

its harvest time and the crop isn't completely off yet, however the weather is the shits and won't permit us to get into the field to finish. since the weather is bad and the forecast isn't good for the next few days i will be going to yorkton this afternoon to abuse my body and mind by consuming copious amounts of alcohol. bucka, zrymiak, danny, renee, and it sounds like carissa and devan will be coming out tonight as well. all those coming out tonight bring your cameras if you have them so we can get some pictures to put on breakfast meat.

Star Trek The Original Series to be digitally remastered

the original series of Star Trek is being digitally remastered, and the special effects are being improved. here is an excerpt from the official Star Trek website with more detail.

The remastering of Star Trek is not a project to be undertaken lightly. There is a history here of some 40 years, a timespan long enough that some people are suspicious of using modern digital technology to enhance a show that was considered pretty cutting edge in its day; the quaint appeal of its admittedly now creaky special effects would somehow be lost. But to others, the relic of Star Trek's original visual effects is exactly what needs to be updated to make the show more appealing for repeated viewings and future High Definition media, and to a younger audience already transfixed by the digital chaos that exists in some modern movies.

To allay any fears, and to answer your most common questions, we've compiled a list and presented them to the experts, the ones actually overseeing the all-new and improved digital effects while striving to maintain the integrity of the Original Series.

Nicky Hilton and her boyfriend Kevin Connolly of televisions 'entourage' picked Paris up at the police station to take her home. hopefully she didn't utter any obscenities about jews during her arrest.

friday night i hit a deer on highway 56 between indian head and katepwa on my way back to my farm, it was a big doe that ran from the left side of the highway and into my front left quarter panel, its head smashed into my windshield which sprayed glass onto my face, and it then somehow damaged my left rear quarter panel. i can assure everyone alcohol was not a factor in this accident but it certainly was after i parked my car at katepwa bar and discovered the extent of the damage. once i arrived in katepwa and tried to get out of my car i realized my door wouldn't open so i was forced to crawl out the passenger door. here are some pictures of my deer ravaged car.
