I want all to know that I have purchased and am currently consuming a box of Triscuits bedaubed with Kraft Easy Cheese.

This might just be a new low.

...to my abundantly overworked and incredibly underslept racing_turtle. You're doing the world a wonderful service and there are many people out there that you've helped that I'm sure are infinitely grateful. I'm so proud of you and glad that you're doing something you love. I hope that you're sleeping well after five or so very long days and nights. Can't ( Read more... )

I just got back from The Matrix: Revolutions. I am infinitely happier with this movie than with its predecessor. The dialog and plot were paced much much better. The massive battle scenes were very impressive. My only complaint has to do with the rather forced romantic interaction between Neo and Trinity. How is it possible...

After all of my complaining about how veritably unexcited I am about The Matrix: Revolutions, I just managed to acquire two free passes to a pre-release screening tonight at the Oak Tree Cinemas.

Happy Birthday, keth!

About two weeks ago, I somehow managed to convince my boss to get me a new laptop. It's just arrived and I'm very pleased. It's loaded - and weighs about 10 pounds!

LAN party, anybody?

I made a decision a month or so ago that I needed to branch out and do something new and exciting in my life. After going back and forth between a handful of ideas, I finally decided to take an art class. UW has a great extra-curricular, non-credit program called Experimental College that offers all kinds of courses. I've taken a few figure ( Read more... )

I found this online and couldn't help but laugh.
