Top 5 things I've never done but would like to try

5. Go camping with my friends. I've only been with a boy. I'm appropriately embarrassed for myself.

4. Build something out of fireworks and blow it up. Yeah, yeah...I've wanted to do this for a while and I feel like I'm all talk and no action. I don't even know where to buy fireworks. 

3. Blow an entire paycheck on something ridiculous. I'm far too practical, but I do love impractical things...

2. Spend an entire weekend without leaving the house. This one must be a sign that I'm getting old, but I'd love to just read and putter for an entire weekend.

1. Shoot a hand gun. I know, I'm the biggest pacifist in the world. However, I still want to bust a cap in...something.

Top 5 things I take for granted in Sci-Fi movies

 

...that aren't anywhere close to real, but it'd blow my mind if they weren't in the movies. For example, 

 

5. Raise the force fields - obviously, if the enemy is re-attacking your damaged ship, you have to make a crucial decision - do you redirect power to the force fields, or do you use all the power you've got to...

 

4. Travel at the speed of light - which doesn't seem at all green. How much fuel/power would going that fast take? And why? Especially if we've already figured out...

 

3. Teleportation - forget travelling at whatever speed necessary, just teleport. Are there limitations that I'm not understanding?

 

2. Tractor Beams - If only parents had tractor beams that worked on children.

 

1. In the future, women of all species have huge racks

 

Top 5 bands I wish I was as cool as for summer 2009

5. Phoenix - Lisztomania, I could listen to this Alex Metric Remix on repeat, repeat, repeat

4. Bon Iver - of course. Seriously...and then Bon Iver and Lykke Li? That's just showing off. 

3. Passion Pit - OH SO MANY REMIXES, SO LITTLE TIME

2. Discovery - I heart it all, but I want to be your Boyfriend featuring Angel Deradoorian from The Dirty Projectors...Killah!

1. Dirty Projectors - all of it. Gosh those kids are cool.
