Didn't I just update?

Random Thought of the day: God never gives us more to bear than we're capable of. Unless, of course, He just gets off by watching us squirm like a bug under His shoe.

OK, I need to stop whining and just buckle down...after much complaining, I'm finally upgrading to Photoshop 6 at work. Interested parties can join the betting pool on the number of weeks I'll spend bitching and moaning about how much more I preferred the previous version; hurry, the high numbers are going fast! Didn't I do this last time?

Well, I can practice this weekend by working on a new Exquisite Corpse. Didn't I mention that a corpse in which I participated posted last week?

I have a feeling a lot of people will be avoiding bridges this week. While we don't have plans to go over one this weekend, we are supposed to be on a cruise under one. And didn't Philo "see" this last month?

Sing This Corrosion to me...

Hey kids! Let's play Gother than Thou, the world's most pretentious card came! On the other hand, people might be tired from playing the real life version.

Miserable Human Stinkbeasts!

Thanks to two of my most shadowy and resourceful friends, I have new conclusive evidence that aliens have infiltrated our world and are living among us! I've found models of them, analyzed their speech patterns, and even have video of them in action! Now off to the cafeteria...it's corn and mayonnaise day.

Zim: "Be alert, Gir. On this planet we are surrounded by danger and madness!!!"
Gir: "Oooh, I like madness"

It's the Cheese, Gromit!

This is the thickest, wheatiest, most nut-encrusted "sourdough" bread I've ever had. And since when were ham and turkey included as two of the four cheeses on my sandwich? Then again, what do I expect from a deli chain whose name includes misplaced apostrophe's?

Dinner and a Movie.

The Boyfriend and I went on a traditional Movie and Dinner date last night. Dinner was at the highly-praised Globe Restaurant. It was OK, but we weren't impressed; and as a vegetarian my only choice was their housemade pasta, which while in a tasty tomato sauce was especially gluey. Were we served bad food, or am I just not familiar with the way fresh pasta is supposed to be?

I then discovered one of the hazards of ordering movie tickets online: I had left my Visa card in front of my computer at home. Oops. No, we didn't end up washing dishes, but it did mean I had to buy another pair of movie tickets. Duh.

At least the movie, Waking Life, was really good. If you've ever worked in Flash and have imported images, you'll immediately recognise the animation style. Like Richard Linklater's first movie Slacker, the film narrative is minimal and chaotic, but the philosophical monologues of being and consciousness are really interesting. I'd recommend it (particularly if you're one who enjoys Wraith or Mage or other more esoteric/philosophical Role Playing games.)
