Procrastination
I am the greatest procrastinator in the world. I have a paper due tomorrow, but haven’t started. I have a midterm project due next week. When will I start?
Another cute brunette
I have already called Katie Holmes a cutie, today. Here’s another cute brunette,Evangeline Lilly. She’s one of the stars of ABC’s Lost. She made me subscribe to the show on Tivo. All she now has to do is wear glasses and I am done.
First Daughter finishes last
There are PG rated movies that, while mainly catering to the preteen audience, can appeal to parents or the occasional adult who may catch it. Some of the enjoyable ones lately have featured pre-superstar, Lindsay Lohan. (Don’t believe me. Check out Parent Trap or Freaky Friday. They’re light and fun and don’t subject there older audience to mind numbingly dumb situations.) Unfortunately, First Daughter is not one. As a 33 year old male, this movie was not targeted to me, but I thought it would have at least offered something interesting. I was wrong. Even my mother, who actually saw Princess Diaries 2, thought it sucked. In the nearly empty theatre, even the older teen girls (16+ they drove) didn’t necessarily enjoy it. Although, one of them clapped when the big kiss came, but probably more from emotion than in approval of the movie.
Now I enjoy all movies I have gone to. The good. The bad. And the ugly. What little joy could be found in Katie Holmes. Though not a particularly intriguing part, she did give a performance that I liked. Bittersweetness she conveyed with those big, brown eyes. She should try to act in better movies. Another surprising thing is that the movie was filled with some recognizable actors, Micheal Keaton, that girl from ID4 who was Jeff Goldblum’s character’s estranged wife, and Lela Rochon. It was even directed by Forest Whitiker! Ghost Dog directing a preteen movie! Ghost Dog! How did this movie with this type of talent end up being bad to watch?
1 of 5 stars.
Lost
Does anyone watch this show? So far it is very intriguing. Some what mysterious. I can’t for the life of me know how long the conceit for the show will last. What happens when they figure out where they are? Will they change story lines. This show has a built in life span of about 2 years. The writers should use it and wrap it up succinctly. I also think that someone is going to die and it is going to be the hotheaded dude.
Proliferation of email
I don’t know about you but I have so many email addresses that it is hard to keep them clean from spam. On my ISP I have 3 email addresses. One at work. Another hotmail and yahoo account. Plus there’s the one for school. That’s six so far. How do people manage their accounts? Their passwords? Does anyone even bother?
Done by bunnies
I am sure you’ve seen this passed around already but it wouldn’t hurt to check it out again especially to take a break from the monotony of work. 30-Second Bunnies Theatre. Also, check out Amy’s Diary. She couldv’e been in my third grade class for all I know.
The Death of Superman
RIP Christopher Reeves. He will always embody Superman in our imagination. Even when he lost the use of his limbs, that made him more superhuman.
Off the schnide
Hooray! The bucs win their first game of the year. They do it behind Brian Griese who had been the third string QB. Man they are reaching. Tune in next week to see if they can make it two in a row.
The hometown team demoralized their local rivals, Washington Redskins, by winning an offensive challenged game. Both teams need to rethink their personnel at the QB position. Kyle Boller sucks and Mark Brunnell is getting old. If not for the defense…
Win95
Who still uses Windows95 nowadays? I do. Ain’t that a bitch of an OS? Its on an 8 year old Dell with a 233MHz Pentium chip. This thing is a dinosaur.
Why am I talking about old hardware? Just recently I have decided that it was time to give up on dial-up so I have ordered DSL. DSL? The local cable co has a freaking monopoly on the cable system in my county, and until they have competition then I won’t be giving them money. But anyway, I am trying to add ethernet to this box. What a pain in the ass. Installing the hardware was easy, but the drivers was hard. I tried for an hour to get the “Add Hardware” utility to recognize the card. I rebooted a dozen times, but still no luck. Finally, it works. Unfortunately, I had to change the IRQ for my modem to avoid an IRQ conflict. What the hell?
Once I have my DSL modem installed, I’ll see how the set up works.
Who supports him?
Watch these ads that feature previous Bush voters. Effective in getting across the message that Bush is wrong for the country. When people sympathetic to your world view are abandoning you, then something truly has to be wrong. Maybe people are finally waking up to the realization that Bush has been terrible for the country.
