Month: July 2003

Yes, I’m sure everyone is just dying to hear my opinion about a movie (everyone is a movie critic, it would seem).

I certainly enjoyed the movie immensly, I have some minor quibbles / areas of discussion:

1. The End:

I was disappointed by the clean, neat ending. I found the governor’s sudden change of approval to go beyond by suspension of disbelief. A far better ending would have involved Captain Sparrow helping Mr. Bloom run away for adventure, and of coure Elizabeth would have to abscond to chase after him. Much better.

2. Will’s Father:

So far I have been the only one to notice that by dropping the bloody gold in the chest and disenchanting the curse, Will also sealed his father to a grisly fate of drowning at the bottom of the ocean. I wonder why this was not addressed at least in passing? Too depressing?

In other news, having major thoughts about my future and my career (being very dissatisfied with the direction, while still used to the income. I really need to see what I do not like and work to change that. Would another company be better for me [as I abhor my current one to the point of contempt], or is the industry all the same? Am I tired of concentrating on Microsoft Technologies, or am I a tech burn-out altogether? I remember liking a mix of platforms better – I miss my unix skills. (though being MS-friendly, I certainly do not miss the Loonix loosers and Maclot iTards. note: these are subsets of idior fanatics, not general proponent of said platforms).

Pretty much I guess I am depressed by my career and do not know what to do about it.

Here is a thought though

I think the fact that I am so happy and pleased and satisfied with my relationship with that anytime that is not spent on one of “our” projects, or with her or for “us” by default pales in comparison. Does an unhappy home life lead to better work satisfaction? I mean, I think I’d rather be working hard on a farm or something low-tech if I could do it closer to home or at home building a relationship with my town/community. I do not feel personal satisfaction here at this company.

Ah well, quite a long ramble.

Wee!

Glad to see these have been made. I’ll have to order a few to give as gifts. 🙂

For some reason bay area idiots are confounded over mystery crop circles

I mean, how many god damn times do these have to be debunked before these dolts get it?

A couple a guys and some boards had some fun. Get over it.

Take your “divining rods” and crystals and shove them up your collective asses.

Guess some people are just looking for answers. I find mine in Hot Naked Sweaty Bodies.

I do like the field owner selling t-shirts though. He should start selling admission to these worthless fucks.

So left for the memorial yesterday. I fly down on Friday night.

Last night I was over at a house our (and some of yours) friend Mal. I brought “Big Trouble in Little China” and I saw “Ronin.” What a frikken excelent movie, I really should have seen it sooner.

Other than that, it’s work work work. I’m dabbling in the game “Magic” again – a friend Jeff found some keen apps for deck maintenance and inventory. I think I’ll get all my cards in.

Watching “Big Trouble…” really got my RPG juices flowing. Must Carve Time for working on RPG leads and stuff. Need to play. I need to make a character for ‘s online game. MUST CARVE TIME!

cheers everbody

This is only readable by you — If you get this message before I call you tonight, is tonight a good night?

With H’s Dad’s memorial and stuff, she’s flying out Weds. (though I’d be leaving Friday night at the earliest, if at all).

Fun with Friends only posts! Wee!

I’m back at work!

We had the best camping trip ever. We met ‘s friends who were all cool, wonderful people. I hope we came off as friendly and fun, because we had a huge blast.

My week off was way short, got less accomplished than I had hoped, yet my main goal of de-stressing was accomplished. Hooray. Work is unforgiving of course. 🙂 ah well!

Pride was a blast! We met up with and on Saturday. I wish we would have met up on Sunday. is super and of course was his usual fabulousness. We definitely need to meet up more often because it is always fun. Next time visits you’ll have to come up to our neck of the woods! (psst. is not constrained to only visit when is in town of course!)

Then I drove up to far northern Ca to visit a friend for a day, drove back the next day, kicked it around the house, errands, etc.
