I’m not in a good mood

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

… I think I can blame some of it on Syriana. Man, I want my money back. As a liberal, I might be able to enjoy the “oil companies control the world” conspiracy, but the movie totally didn’t do it for me. The trailer completely misrepresented the movie. All the dramatic lines and explosions in […]

Books I Own That I Haven’t Really Read

Friday, July 21st, 2006

… for whatever reason. I’m not saying that they’re all bad, nor am I saying that they’re all good either.

The Evolution of Useful Things
Small Things Considered - interesting books by the same author. I bought them both at the same time. Unfortunately a touch boring after a long day of work.

Panda Express

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

It sucks because of stupid driver issues. Should I use Microsoft’s drivers? No? Disable them. Use the Widcomm drivers. Find it […]

24

I’ve been on a 24 kick recently.
Season 1 was excellent from begining to end. Caught my attention right away, and carried it to the end.
I’m working on Season 2 now. Season 2 starts off a little slower, but it picks up and definitely holds you. And that’s my biggest problem with 24 - once you […]

Pricing

Sunday, July 2nd, 2006

The local sandwich shop near my work has been slowly raising their prices. Over the last year, it probably costs me a dollar more to eat there. In the grand scheme this really isn’t a big deal, but it bugs the hell out of me.
If the pricing were to go down, I probably would NOT […]
