Today’s been a good day… and there’s still lots of day left!

Last night, SaraRules and I went to see Splice. We’re of different minds about the movie: She thoroughly enjoyed it, whereas I enjoyed it… up until the last 30 minutes, where it went completely off the rails for me.  Up to that part, it was fine — a nice sci-fi/horroresque movie. It had very good special effects. It had psychological twists. It had moral and ethical issues. All-in-all, a decent start and first two-thirds of the movie.  But the end fell flat for me.  And, as I understand it, that was what SaraRules found the most intriguing about it.  Oh, well… maybe the director’s cut will be better for me. *shrug*

This morning, we got up and headed to the in-laws’ for a pre-birthday brunch for . Grilled bacon. Sweet potato muffins. Fresh fruit. Scrambled egg casserole. All of which was very tasty. We’re going back this evening for cake and presents and whatnot.

We came back home to do some cleaning around the house. Necessary evil.  In a little while, we will head to the Tanger Outlets in Park City.

Stray Toasters

  • Yesterday, SaraRules and I got new telephonic hotness: HTC Evo 4G. We’ve had them less than 24 hours, but we’re both digging on them. We also got gel cases for them: pink for hers, black for mine. SaraRules noted, after we’d picked them out, that “…we got them in our signature colors,” as they match our respective MacBooks.
  • Autism finding could lead to simple urine test for the condition
  • From the “Color Me Not Surprised” file: Gizmodo Not Welcome at 2010 WWDC
  • Screenshots vs. Multi-tasking.   🙂
  • I shall soon have two new additions for my display case’s Sinestro Corps shelf.

Quote of the Day
Today’s quote came from none other than pre-birthday guest of honor, :

‘Muffins,’ spelled backwards, is ‘Sniff ‘um.’

This was proclaimed across the breakfast table this morning… and was met with hails of laughter.

Namaste.
