bernadine just took me for a ride
my movie is on. ^_^ (gone in sixty seconds. "are you all right?" "i think so...." "are you sure? 'cause you just went through a wall." i love this movie so hard. "why are people shooting at us?" "because i blew up their car!") ("150... 160... he's gone.") it's full of actors i like and some really fabulous cars and i'm a sucker for a silly nicolas cage movie. well, except con air - that's dire. it has some great people in it - john cusack! john malkovich! steve buscemi! colm meaney! - and it's just unwatchable.
yesterday and today at work i spent way more time than i wanted trying to format a couple of pdfs so i could convert them to excel tables. in order to make the excel look right i have to check every page of the pdf to make sure the formatting is right. (we have an application that sets the columns, but sometimes there's a subheading in the table that cuts across the columns, and when the doc converts to excel, the text of the subheadings breaks into cells and is impossible to read.) and i have to do this for three separate pdfs, for a total of 3000 pages. 3000. page by page. my brain hurt and my eyes crossed and every hour i had to get up and walk around and look at something that wasn't my laptop screen. 3000 pages. what the actual fuck.
at least it gave me something to do.
on the plus side, we got pizza for lunch today. surprise!
everyone in this movie looks so YOUNG. i mean, christopher eccleston and timothy olyphant look like babies.
quick question: how many of you would get the reference to strunk and white in a story? because it came up in one of the stories we read for writing group last night, and two of us got it and one of us didn't, and i don't remember if the last girl got it or not. the author of the story in question seemed to think it was a common enough reference.
