Wednesday: Finale
All-in-all, not a bad day.

After work, Jess, Mary and I went to see The Ring. Not bad. There were a few disjointed things, but on the whole, I liked it. The movie was adapted from a Japanese novel (and movie) called Ringu. I have heard that this version isn’t quite up to the original; and I are now on a mission to find it here behind the Zion Curtain. Of course, that could be like trying to find the Holy Grail, the Spear of Destiny or the Golden Plates. But, we aren’t going to let that stop us.

Stray Toasters

  • posted a link to a picture on boners.com (despite the name, it’s not what you would expect… well, some of it is, but that’s not what this ‘Toaster is about). I decided to roam around the site and found this and this and this.
  • Jess had this to say about the “baptisms for the dead” issue that I mentioned yesterday. For my response, I will refer to the Rush song Totem.
  • On the way to work today, I saw a plastic lighted Santa and reindeer. It reminded me of the light-up figures that my grandmother used to put in her lawn at this time of year.
  • What in the Nine Hells?!? They just showed a $20,000 cell phone “communications instrument” on The Screen Savers. Twenty thousand dollars! It is the Vertu from… uh… Vertu (a division of Nokia). You can find out more about it here.
  • Tyra Banks. *sigh*

Goodnight.

Namaste.
