Better than Bacon

First of all, I don't know who Kevin Bacon is. I think it would be pretty groovy to have the last name Bacon. But bacon is rather fatty and greasy so I'm not so sure it would be a good thing after all. Anyway, its also rather hard to celebrate someone I don't know. I found out today is Video game day, which I like a hole lot better.

I am a terrible gamer. I don't know what it is about me, but I am terrible at video games. My favorite is Diner Dash, but I usually end up quitting halfway into my shift. I'm much better at the Wii than hand held games. I love Wii Party and Music and sports and fit. I love it all.

So today, Instead of playing video games, I decided to watch a movie about video games. Tron. I love Tron: Legacy. It's about this guy who goes into some game to find his dad who was trapped for some odd years. It's also about this huge game corporation called Encom. Very fitting for today's holiday. I wonder if they had it in mind while creating Tron. I doubt it. But I'd still like to believe it.

This is Sam Flynn. He’s not a program. He’s a user.


This is Quorra. She’s not a program either. She’s an ISO.


I really like Quorra’s haircut. And shut your mouth Sam.



I don’t know who this is, but I know that she is a program.



So in short, you really should see this movie. If you do, I encourage you to watch it twice. It can be rather confusing. It is wonderfully weird.
And you may be wondering what this has to do with Tron and video game day. See the crane on top? There is one just like that on the Encom tower. KJ and I thought this was cool. He'd never admit it though. I took a picture of it. So there.

Sincerely,
I'm not a program
