Friday it felt like I got a lot of stuff done. Of course I had a huge amount left at the end of the day too. Oh well, such is life I guess. Hopefully I can soon get stuff in place so I can do the rest in more manageable pieces. It snowed a lot on Friday. When I was going to bed it sounded like sorta like a hailstorm with it hitting the side of the house too. Saturday I was woken up by my brother wanting to know stuff about the snowblower since it wouldn't run right. Apparently it didn't work out since when I woke up and actually got up, the whole thing had been shoveled. First movie of the day was Code 46. It was interesting, but I wasn't too impressed either. I think my favorite part was how they did the titles and then added the multilingual part on top of that. Second movie was Timeline. This one was more interesting, but still lacking a bit. I have a feeling it's like the rest of Michael Crichton books, where the book is a lot better than the movie. I think this is another one that I managed not to read the book for. He tends to give a lot of detail that you which you figure out later. In the movie they take those parts and make the discovery of the relation to prior details way too obvious. Oh well, I think it's worth watching at least once. Anyways, while watching trailers, I saw one for this. I realized that Jena Malone is building a rather odd reputation of the characters she plays in movies. In looking at the news I also found how to shovel snow. And in reading blogs stumbled across a funny church sign. And after seeing parts of the football season this year as my brother watches it, I'd have to agree with this argument. The fact that they can pay for that much advertising is crazy too - apparently they're making plenty of profit. Prescription drugs are one of those things that don't seem right to advertise. Those who need it should be told by their doctor (if a doctor doesn't know about treatment options or where to get that info, get a new doctor), and doctors are already bribed enough by the pharmaceutical companies about new drugs. Such is life where they can get people to demand overpriced and probably unnecessary treatments, the doctors will prescribe to get the patient to stop bugging them, and the insurance company is stuck paying for them. OK, I should go find something better to do...
