My Blackberry is corrupted; I blame society
So I have to do this freakin' upgrade on the software for my Blackberry and I know, "I KNOW" that something is going to go wrong - I can feel it. Sure enough, it wipes out my calendar going back to the dawn of time. It only exists on the Blackberry, not on the desktop; except it does, just not somewhere I can access it AND BESIDES the Blackberry ( Read more... ) -
Dive! Dive! Dive!
Submarine movies I love: Enemy Below, Das Boot, Ice Station Zebra, and The Hunt for Red October. Generally I'm not a sub movie fan; they're my least favorite genre of war movie but I really like these sub movies for some reason and I like the casts. -
Wondercon 2009
Well I bought a three day ticket but only went for two days and couldn't bring myself to make the cross bridge drive for the Saturday night masquerade. Darn.

The Wrestler
What a sad, sad story although extremely well acted. I would have changed one scene just to make it more poignant but otherwise it's a powerful movie. Mickey Rourke does a bang up job as someone who is only alive while on stage; it's the only place where he can't screw up because they work out the script in advance ( Read more... ) -

Re: Cancellation of Stargate Atlantis
Dear Sir:
When I first learned that Stargate Atlantis was canceled, I was surprised as were many of my friends. We had been keeping track of the ratings and as the Atlantis ( Read more... )
