I haven't updated. Here's news and notes.

-I moved north to San Mateo. I live in a house with a couple other guys. My ex-roommate fined me for not cleaning the apartment (which I did). What I didn't realize was that by "clean" he meant "sterilize." He wasn't around when I moved out, so I left him an email stating that I'd be happy to reclean anything that wasn't up to par. Instead of taking advantage of the opportunity he elected to clean it himself, send an angry email about it, and fine me. Ridiculous.

-Snakes on a Plane is fantastic. Just a hilarious movie. Hooray for gratuitous nudity! Sam Jackson's m*therf*ckin snakes line comes at an unusual time, but it didn't prevent the audience from erupting!

-I bought a new bicycle. Woo!

-I failed to mention that I went to a comedy club a couple months ago and saw Pablo Francisco live. He's best known for his "Little Tortilla Boy" routine, which he didn't do. In all honesty, he wasn't that great. He's too off the wall, and too scared of silence. He just fills dead air with constant sound effects (his bread and butter).

-Evgeni Malkin is a superhero.

-Safeway has an imitation Dr. Pepper named "The Dr." That's almost as good as Eckerd's elusive "Dr. Riffic."

-I started my almost-famous Fantasy Football league. If you want in, let me know.

-Liz and I have signed up for Blockbuster Online. Their rates are identical to Netflix, but they also throw in a couple free rental coupons per month for their retail stores, making it a better value. We're on the cheapest plan: 3 DVDs per month, one at a time, plus 2 monthly coupons. It equates to approximately 1 a week or so, which is a nice pace. We're using it as an opportunity to see some classic movies that one or both of us haven't seen. Among the recent selections include The Godfather Trilogy and The Shawshank Redemption (amazing!)

-I may be able to file a patent for some things I did at work (neat!)
