Wednesday
The day started s-l-o-w-l-y. Even after coffee. But, I think that it was because I was looking forward to post-work activities. Despite lethargy and a few bouts of boredom, I managed to be productive.

After work, , and I had dinner at Tucci’s. After that we, along with , , and , went to see Alien – The Director’s Cut. That was fun. Tom Skerritt looked so… young. And scruffy. Definitely not the look to which I have grown accustomed. (“Time may change me, but I can’t trace time…“) I might have to track down The Alien Legacy: Twentieth Anniversary Collection. And, I finally had the cotton candy that I have been craving for the past few weeks!

After the movie, we went to Cheers Village Inn for a late snack.

Stray Toasters

  • We saw movie previews for AVP: Aliens vs. Predator, Resident Evil 2 and Disney’s Haunted Mansion. I’ll even go on the record as saying that Mansion looks like it could be fun.
  • Tonight’s milkshake had the right consistency, tasted great AND was mixed all the way to the bottom of the cup! I think that I have gotten the hang of making them.
  • Mini-Rant #1: The people who brought four or five small children to Alien. I could be wrong about this, but I am pretty sure that they will come to regret this decision in the wee hours of the morning when the kids wake up screaming about a monster coming to get them.
  • Mini-Rant #2: The people (plural) who:
    1. …didn’t turn off their cell phones before the movie started
    2. …decided to have part of their conversation in the theatre before deciding to get up and go out into the lobby.
  • : Will Jeff actually go see AVP when it comes out?
  • From the “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” file: Microsoft Fires Mac Fan for Blog Photo
  • Amusement from Comics2Film

And that’s all. For now.

Namaste.
