AutobotIts half past midnight now, but I just have to say this:

OMFG! Transformers was an freakin’ awesome movie! Not only was it action packed and chock full of spectacular special effects, but it also starred Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime and was also hilarious!

Two words.  Go watch!

OK.  Bed time now.

Old Sci-Fi Covers

1000 Year VoyageI’m a sucker for old pulp and Sci-Fi covers.  I don’t know why.  I just really like them.  Maybe it was from growing up reading my dad’s old Sci-Fi books from the 70’s, with their cover art, and that distinct old paperback book smell.
