I was lucky enough to get to see a sneak preview of "Corpse Bride" with friends last night, including The Lovely Roommate and the Fabulous Nancy (along with Patt and Kim, whose nicknames I'm still working on).

I'm bummed out because...well, I didn't like it much. Let me rephrase. I didn't actively dislike it. I didn't think it was bad. It just ( Read more... )

Wait! I know what we need at a time like this! Superheroes!

Oh, but...not if they suck. Roger Ebert's review of Fantastic Four

Damn, I adore Ioan Gruffudd, too.

What is it with every single car company in the universe suddenly having an Employee Discount Sale? Did they all get together in one room and decide they were all going to do this at the exact same time? I can never remember any car companies doing this before, can you?

Rented some movies last night.

Birth This looked intriguing. It stars ( Read more... )

Last night, for no apparent reason, I watched "The Chronicles of Riddick" on HBO. It's a pretty good-looking movie (mmmm, Karl Urban) but really dumb. There were moments...many of them, in fact, in which I was thinking "Gee, this might be kind of exciting if I had a clue what was going on." And you know, I had been under the impression that it ( Read more... )

Was quite uneventful. I really wanted to go to the Sunbury crafts & antiques fair on Saturday, but it turns out it was only on Monday. So went shopping with The Lovely Roommate and The Fabulous Nancy (my usual two about-town companions...and yes, those are their official designations). I didn't buy much. But sales at CJ Banks are too good to ( Read more... )

Well, just got back from seeing "Sin City" with the Lovely Roommate and Nancy.

I didn't like it. In fact, I may have hated it. *thinks* Yep, hated it.

So in the lobby of Geek Central, near the elevators, is a big blue board that has pictures of all the new-ish employees. When I started here back in September, I got my photo taken for inclusion on this board, which I knew they only changed about once every six months ( Read more... )

Tonight I decided to order pizza, which I haven't done in ages. Yummy. But of course, what do you do while eating pizza? Watch a movie. But there was NOTHING on TV. I watched the end of "Bruce Almighty" and then a few minutes of some horrible slasher film starring Stephen Dorff and the European-looking girl from "Truman Show," then out of ( Read more... )

Okay, so tonight I saw "Van Helsing" with Lovely Roomie (tm) and friends.

This movie was so bad that they may have to invent a new term for it...like "durmful" or "valoseous."

We got a great deal of enjoyment out of mocking it. Where are Crow and Servo when you really really (REALLY) need them?
