Bionic Teutonic

Ariel and I had a pretty lazy weekend, doing not much of anything but lazing around and watching a lot of Planet Earth. If you haven’t seen this, it’s amazing. We rented it on DVD which means it’s narrated by David Attenborough as opposed to Sigorney Weaver, who did the American TV version. Ariel and I both have a grampa crush on David Attenborough. Seriously, he would be the coolest grampa ever. Think of all the cool shit his grandchildren must learn from him. And I’m sure they get to tag along sometimes, when he’s stalking some bird that hasn’t been seen or filmed for the last thousand years, yet which will inevitably appear on camera while he’s talking about its migration patterns. I was talking about Planet Earth with my boss at work, who commented that they should just send a copy of the DVD into space, because for any Alien’s who might want to know what our planet is like, it’s pretty much all there. One of the best parts about this series is that at the end of each episode, they have “Planet Earth Diaries” where they go behind the scenes and show you how they got some of the footage. I’m a total junkie for nature films. When I’m an old man and am no longer able to function, please just pop in an ocean documentary for me, OK?
