Movie Review
The House of Sand and Fog (Drama): My mother prefaced this movie by using the word sad 50 times. She was right. It was sad. It was a character piece, and I didn’t really mind the length. Plus, you get to see Jennifer Connelly’s butt (which, from what I could tell was pretty nice.). B
Twiden
Ok. Say you traveled 1/2 way around the world just to visit your friends for a week in an imaginary country called… mmm… Say “Twiden.” Let’s just say for the sake of argument that you think that they are worth it. Now, if those same two friends came halfway around the world and stayed 40 minutes from where you live for three weeks, how long would you expect to see them?
A. Mi casa, su casa, so three weeks.
B. Maybe a couple of weeks, as I am only human.
C. Fish and company stink after 3 days.
D. I get paid by the hour.
What if you only saw one of them for 2 hours with no notice, and a time limit set by another set of plans?
Yea. I’d suppose that I’d feel like I got checked off a list, too.
Restaurant Review
Barefoot Bob’s in Hull has been no less than 3 places in the last few years, and I expect that it may be another in a few more. It has ok food, ok service, and a noise level that suggests that it is more of a place that locals go to have drinks and hang out, rather than eat. I think it would be a great place for hanging out, and better for eating after a few beers in the sun. B-
La Musica
I realized that I have enough music here to listen for something like 30+ days without repeating a song. Thank you, MediaMonkey for helping me to organize and play them. Now if I can just find the time to tie in an X-10 remote interface like I did for Winamp a while back (yea, I did), then I can be cool. Well, not cool per se. Something like cool? Forget it.
