&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Dragonball trailer had been set to debut on December 12 in front of IMAX screenings of Keanu Reeves' The Day the Earth Stood Still remake, but news emerged early this morning on dragonballmovieblog.net that it will not be ready in time for the deadline.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First off, that remake of TDTESS is going to be hilarious.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Secondly, I.  AM.  DEVASTATED.&lt;/p&gt;

						<description>&lt;p&gt;If Sarah and John Connor successfully prevented Judgment Day in T2, wouldn't that mean that John Connor would be erased from existence since Kyle Reese would never have gone back in time to meet Sarah Connor?  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I guess you can't really think too hard about time travel in movies because this kind of thing comes up all the time.  It's Monday and I'm a little bored.  Hope you guys all had a great holiday weekend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;Powered by &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

			<title>Atlanta's Biggest Loser - *vote for Karen*</title>
			<link>http://brendoman.com/index.php/2008/11/26/atlanta-s-biggest-loser-vote-for-karen</link>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey folks.  My Mom is in the final 2 for the female team.  The upside is she's lost the most weight percentage wise and hasn't been on the chopping block since she started competing.  The downside is the other lady has a ton of votes.  That said, please vote and vote often.  Pass it to your friends and family if you feel so inclined.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's the link: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.11alive.com/life/contests/atlantas_biggest_loser/&quot;&gt;http://www.11alive.com/life/contests/atlantas_biggest_loser/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And the read the following from my Mom:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi everyone,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As many of you know, I've been a contestant in Atlanta's version of The Biggest Loser.  Thus far, I've lost over 30 lbs and have retained the lead (percentage) in weight loss among the Blue Team (the women's team).  Now that we're down to the top two women, I need your online vote to remain in the competition and compete with the last standing member of the men's team. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wow, I'm feeling great &amp;#8211; have renewed energy and my core has strengthened considerably.  At the beginning of this competition, I couldn't run two minutes &amp;#8211; now I'm running 20 and then working out for an hour followed by classes. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can vote online once per day per computer (beginning this afternoon) at:  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.11alive.com/life/contests/atlantas_biggest_loser/&quot;&gt;http://www.11alive.com/life/contests/atlantas_biggest_loser/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The best news of all this Thanksgiving is that my son, Brian, who has been in Iraq since March is now back in the states and is on his way here from Mississippi to spend the Thanksgiving weekend with me.  This will be the best Thanksgiving ever!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Happy Thanksgiving!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;Powered by &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Sorry I've been so quiet on here.  Here is a picture of me and my Goddaughter when she was a few days old.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She is now almost four weeks old and is already able to move around using her legs.  Seriously.  Not much going on, really.  Still addicted to Oblivion.  I'm headed down to San Diego for my 10 year reunion this weekend.  Thanksgiving I'm hanging out with some other refugees in L.A..  I've got some other cool stuff on the horizon that I hopefully will be able to share with you soon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;Powered by &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Last night I got home to find that I could download the New Xbox Experience, Microsoft's new dasbhoard program for the 360.  One of the prominent new features is the ability to create avatars.  They are similar to miis, but actually much more customizable.  Here is mine:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/brendoman.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I also tried out the integrated Netflix streaming and I really dug it.  While you can't browse the Netflix catalog and add new titles like you can from the Media Center app, I really dug the way you flip through the titles in your Instant Queue and the fact that you can stop and resume watching the movie at a later time.  I'm really happy with the NXE so far and am looking forward to what Microsoft has in store with it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;Powered by &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
