Mood: busy

Music of the Day: Stargate SG1 on TV

Well I've had a busy day, got up and went to the store to get food and stuff. Came home and cleaned house, got alot done. Cleaned my fridge, took out all the trash in the house, and cleaned out the bar area (which had been a storage area. I didn't get the laundry done that I planned, didn't get a chance to get quarters. So laundry day will be tomorrow. Tonight I'm going to a friend's party. Hurrah for parties. :) Saturday night I'm going to see a midnight screening of The Princess Bride with the D/FW Ufies List. Sunday I have to go to training at work, blah...but I can use the OT. Hopefully it will be useful training. Maybe I'll hit a movie afterwards. Something fun. We'll see.

Crazy thought I had yesterday, on the subject of reincarnation. A little background on me, I do believe in reincarnation. No real idea on the mechanics of it, but I do believe we come back...

But what if reincarnation was like the airlines. With Frequent Incarnation points. "Ok, I'm schedualled to come back as a sales weasel, but I have these points...can I upgrade to something better...lab rat ?" Get 50,000 points and get a free incarnation of your choice, subject to availability and blackout dates ? If you are in a hurry to incarnate, do you sign up for a a 'redeye' incarnation, or take connecting incarnations..."Hmm, if I incarnate as a slug, then a rat, then a politician, I'll finally make it to supermodel". Do incarnations get delayed ? And what's the terminal like ?

These are things I ponder when my brain works...

Movies

Mood: Tired

Music of the Day: Mail Call on TV

Well, I've seen a few movies in the last 2 weeks. Friday before last, (aka the 14th) I saw I Robot , which was more of "Attack of the Killer Imacs" than Asmiov's books. But I liked it, it was fun and action filled. Could have been better, but Will Smith will make most movies amusing at least.

Sunday, I got dragged to see A Cinderella Story. Now I hate 'chick flicks'. I don't enjoy them and generally I avoid them like the plague. But I was having a bad day moodwise and got talked into it by Amythest, and I was pleasantly suprised that I laughed like a loon. It was cute, and fun, and fluff. But it helped my mood, and that was what I needed. Plus the chick was kinda cute in the movie ;)

Skip ahead to last Friday, where we went to see The Bourne Supremacy. I haven't seen the first one, was going to this week but plans went south. But I knew enough of the plot to make sense of things. The movie was soso, they used alot of handheld cameras in the shots, so everything was jittery. It's a neat trick in small doses, makes you feel more part of the movie. But every scene being jittery made me feel well...dizzy. Other than that, not much to say about it. Not one I plan on getting on DVD. Well, other than Julia Stiles looked yummy ;)

Last night was another movie, Catwoman. Now I went into this expecting a fairly bad movie. And I was pleasantly suprised that it wasn't bad. Cheesy, yes. Plot holes, yes. But fun as hell, lots of laugh out loud moments. Hally Berry played the roll better than expected, especially in 'cat' mode. Looked like she spent some time watching cats in general, and some of the previous Catwomen in movies and TV. Not a movie for comic purists or people without a sense of sillyness, but I liked it alot. And not just because of Catwoman in skimpy leather ;)

Well that's my movie reviews for the week. Next week, I'm hoping to see The Village personally. We'll see :)

We're Back !!!!

Mood: Very Geeky

Music of the Day: Ocean's 11 on TV

Well, I got the websites back up and running. It only took reading a howto on Apache2 SSI's and a free few minutes. Now to copy this ,htaccess file that fixed the problem, so if things go borked again, I don't have to spend time wrestling with it. Hurrah for me :)

In other geek news, I have ATAThoth up and running, and the webcam page sorta working...well when I feel like showing off my geeky bod ;) Moved desks around on Friday. Got a slightly roomier apartment layout now. Going to ditch one of the desks though. Just not needed and I need the extra room for bookshelves. But this will be a while to finish. That whole money thing. Oh well. ;)

Not much else going on, seen alot of movies since the site went south, may post some reviews later. Right now I'm going to watch TV and clean up the mess in the living room. Laters. :)
