Friday was pretty good. Lunch with the usual crowd at Taco Bell. Work was weird since it felt like Monday and Friday and every other day at the same time, but was workable since lots of people were there but it wasn't busy but there were things to do so it wasn't boring either. After work went to
Houlihan's with the family and ate way too much food. I had a BLT that was basically lengthwise slices from the loaf of bread, plus a stack of bacon in the middle about an inch and a half thick. After that hung out with them for a bit and played Life which I hadn't played in a long time. Saturday slept in and then got up and watched
Deep Impact. While the story was an interesting concept I didn't think it was all that well written. The video was pretty pixelated (didn't help that it wasn't even anamorphic to start with), and the soundtrack mix was pretty bad. As a redeeming factor it was sorta funny to see Elijah Wood going through a wooded areas on a motorcycle after getting used to him in the LotR series. After that I was reading slashdot and discovered
this rather interesting online site for music. Not sure what the legal status in the US is, but they are legit in Russia and it's basically just importing, so... It and another equivalent service in Spain have been going for quite a while though without problems. They have a lot of stuff which you just can't buy anywhere anymore too. Speaking of music I got a couple CDs in the mail today which was nice. Gotta go listen to them soon and rip after I get a fast ripping drive installed again. One of them has some really interesting stuff, like a bit of a storyboard about the story of the movie. One of the good things about actually getting CDs (besides the fact that usually the compressed stuff sucks). As for mail, I think everyone must have said to deliver catalogs right after the first or something. I got a pile of stuff for "<the previous owner> or Current Resident" which I unfortunately can't just stick back in the box with this other bundle of stuff from yesterday that should have been forwarded. As for that, it's the 4th time so I think I need to give the post office another call and ask why they can't seem to get that straight consistently. After that watched
American History X which is a good movie. It's a good reminder of just how crazy and messed up some people can be. Well, off to go listen to music.
