Manufactured Milestones

In this era of shortened attention spans and manufactured milestones (one-week anniversaries, "Established in 2001," etc.), I find it comforting to rediscover things that have stood the test of time.

Like the 20th Anniversary of Transformers: The Movie.

And not to shill for a company or anything, but if you order the movie on DirecTV PPV, they'll send you a free copy of the DVD. So you know what I'll be watching on November 7.

And on July 4, 2007? Probably this.

Speaking of meaningless milestones, I'll be purchasing this game soon. Probably this one, too. How is that a milestone, you ask? It's the 33rd anniversary of me being a big geek my entire life.

If you're only buying one of the games, here's a blow-by-blow comparison from a friend of mine.

And lastly but not leastly, I have reached the iconic milestone of 69 friends on MySpace. Thanks to Masaye for getting me over the hump.         :)
