The Blue Angels are currently flying over and around my house, because there's an airshow happening right across the freeway. Absolutely incredible. Watching that shit never, ever gets old. I'm sure you've got to be crazy as a rabid cat to fly one of those things, though.

And, I'm going to the Tigers game tonight.

Ah crap. I didn't get paid today because of the stupid holiday midweek. The person who is supposed to bring my check took this week off, and I guess no one else can do it for them. How fucking stupid is that? That my getting paid is dependent entirely on whether or not someone else takes a vacation ( Read more... )

The fireworks haven't stopped, yet. Oh, but they're gonna.

While I fear that this may be a pre-emptive 'huzzah' for the neighborhood fireworks extravaganza being over, I'm going to go ahead and provisionally put it out there ( Read more... )

God, I love Canada. Even though I can't seem to win at the casino, I still came home with a four-pack of Smarties, Aspirin, and a handle of Bombay Sapphire that I got at the duty-free for like, $20 bucks American ( Read more... )

Mostly just because. Been on a bit of a Phish-kick for a couple days now...Renee asked about them while fumbling through my CD's in the car, and I played her "Heavy Things."

Work keeps moving along... managed to meet and exceed a deadline that got pushed up by nearly a week today and with every passing day I understand more and more about my role ( Read more... )

At least Casino Royale was better than Aragorn, but Daniel Craig is just not a classy man.

He kind of looks like Colin Hay.

And why did they change the game to Texas Hold 'em? Seriously, this new Jimmy B has an oddly shaped skull and is ugly as sin, and on top of that they decided to dumb down this Bond film. I mean, just think about that for a ( Read more... )

Even with the RiffTrax commentary, Eragon was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I can't even begin to describe how absolutely godawful it was. It was like if Star Wars, Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings got really drunk together and somehow managed to make a horrible, deformed, sickly child. If it was possible for a movie to die of ( Read more... )
