Peter Murphy @ Mayan last night
Marian and I went to the Peter Murphy show. Got a fairly decent shot by the LA weekly guy which is nice cause I'm usually caught at just the wrong moment/angle ( Read more... ) -
Firefox gather windows script for dual monitor annoyance!
New Firefox windows opening on your second monitor? Second monitor off or in use for something else? I found a script and tweaked it slightly for my tastes to gather only firefox windows on the first display, and it woks beautifully. Original script posted and tweaked a few times HERE.

Enjoyable Current Movies
I really liked the new Ridley Scott Robin Hood. It's a slightly different take on the tale, but not one that screws it up. The story and action has a believable real world feel, it's nothing like the also very enjoyable Prince Of Theives - Alan Rickman's incredible performance as the Sheriff of Nottingham - in Scott's film the Sheriff is not the ( Read more... ) -

Rachel Getting Married, another slam dunk for Anne Hathaway, does an excellent job depicting the awkward nature of post destruction relationships. I was expecting a romance and got something much more poignant, substantial, and although not as rare in reality, a rarity in cinema.
Brief Interviews With Hideous Men was surprisingly good. At first it ( Read more... ) -
Season's end, new beginnings
Dexter came in with a strong finish, getting back on track after it's weak third season. The finale kind of solidified the season in hindsight and leaves me anxious for the next one. ( SERIOUS SPOILER cut ) -
