Firefox has been a pain here constantly trying to update the same Java script over and over again.

ME TOO! I thought it was just me.

Thirded! I couldn't get it to load, but since my computer's old and cranky, I thought it was a problem on my end.

Cyber Tech Help's forums are the best resource for computer trouble, specifically this one. A staff member works with you one-on-one to fix your computer for free. They saved my bacon when I crashed my laptop.

Also? I have anxiety problems with driving as well (BLARGH, CITY DRIVING) so my folks and I used the county fairgrounds to get me used to driving before steadily moving me up through country roads, in-town roads, divided highways, etc. There were also numerous empty oil drums that I got to practice parallel parking on (my parents weren't about to sacrifice one of our nicer cars for science! for drivers' ed).

If I can find a nice graveled car-free bit of space in Kentucky, I'm sure there's one in Alabama, too.

LOL I used a Hobby Lobby parking lot on Sundays when they were closed to practice driving. It had multiple entrances to the lot so I could practice both right and left turns in and out into and out of traffic (which was also light due to being Sunday). Took lots of trips to work me up to not panicking at going more than 2 MPH, but I got there eventually. ;)

Eurgh, bone on bone. That just makes me spazz out, because in my osteo class, our prof actually took the articulated skeleton, popped the patella out of its place in the wiring and put it directly on the femur, tibia & fibula and the noise it made. It makes me want to run up a tree like a cat.

How was Hans Matheson? I'm not sure how small his role is.

He was my favorite Dude Who Goes Around With Perseus! Well, him and Mads Mikkelsen, who is the Leader Dude (Who Is Not Perseus). He's in it a good bit. And he has a flute!

DAYUM. *fans self*

I feel your pain about your Mother. :( She'll be her old self once she has her surgery! Mine is losing sight in one of her eyes and she needs it. :( I sympathize *hugs*

chris_walsh April 4 2010, 05:42:27 UTC

Mads Mikkelsen, who is the Leader Dude

And who has a name that, in the words of Greek mythology enthusiast quirkybird, "is a great name for a cat."

I'm going to see Clash of the Titans tomorrow, and I am heartened by your summary.

Also, best wishes to your mom, the future Bionic Woman. Do you think she'll start making that awesome NUHNUHNUHNUH sound after the surgery?

DON'T GO SEE IT IN 3D. Apparently they did the cheapest transfer possible and it looks like ass. It looks perfectly fine in 2D--probably better, even.

rhoda_rants April 4 2010, 02:55:22 UTC

I heard the same thing and we went in 2D. It was hard enough to keep my eyeballs on straight even then.

laughingacademy April 4 2010, 03:09:38 UTC

Alas, my friend and I are planning to see it at the Ziegfeld, one of the few (only?) single-screen movie palace-style theaters in NYC, which is running the 3-D version. Hopefully the sheer size of the screen will make up for any shortcomings.
