Friday was as Fridays have been recently, at least as far as work was concerned. I need to start planning something fun for Fridays to get rid of that. Did end up taking the fixed BethelAuth module that Andy had cleaned up after we discovered and fixed a rather major bug in it and converted it to the other format and posted them up on the docs site. Then had to track down everyone who uses auth and tell them. It wasn't a security bug or anything, which was good. I had been meaning to do that for quite a while lately, since there were a lot of little upgrades he had added over the last couple years. After work was the 2004 ITS Student Worker BBQ which also was Tenley's going away party. It was good, although seemed a little quieter/slower than last year - oh well. After that Dave and I went over to my place and watched Kill Bill: Vol. 1. I have to say that's one of the best movies I've seen in a while, and I'm pretty sure Dave agreed. We were trying to think of a theater good enough to go see Vol. 2 in. The soundtrack for the movie was very well done, with extreme attention to detail (should have expected that though). I'm not sure why I didn't have that much interest in the film when it first came out, I blame the reviews saying it was just full of violence and stuff (true, but that's not anywhere close to the main purpose of it). Anyways Saturday slept in a decent amount, sat around reading tech stuff, and then watched Reservoir Dogs. Good movie, not sure which I like better yet (leaning towards Kill Bill due to the more complex plot). After that decided it was listening to music time. Some (most?) songs sound great with Logic 7, but I found 2-3 tonight that get some really odd effects. Sound like modern pop as defined by the radio. On the other hand, hearing about your favorite radio city sounded amazingly well defined in the surrounds. Every time I'm down there listening I realize I should do it more often - some music just doesn't sound that great with headphones, you need the effect of feeling the music. Maroon 5's Harder to Breathe was one I really noticed tonight. I've never been too big of a fan when listening on headphones or even upstairs at home. Get it on the good system though... I may have to pull out the rest of the album.
