Today is going to be a bad day at our office, for anyone on a diet. We’ve already had bagels and fruit for breakfast, plus the VP wandering around the office with a little red cart full of donuts, and there’s still lunch and the 3pm party yet to go.
I’m glad I did an extra set of crunches this morning. Not enough to make a difference, really, but still a feel-good-exercise =p
That’s what I’ve decided to call soft gingerbread, baked in a cake pan. It’s not like it’s actually ground up gingerbread man, plus filler, but metaphorically it seems close enough, and then I get to say “man meat” with plausible deniability =p
I had dim memories of liking this movie, and it being my introduction to Robbie Coltrane.
On re-watching, I found it still enjoyable, and was surprised to realize it also starred Eric Idle, funny what the mind forgets vs remembers. Anywho, the interesting bit to me was how, in the end credits, Eric and Robbie get a second credit line for the last drag-outfits they wore, as separate actors by their character names.
I wonder if any other movie does that.
Thanks to UPS My Choice, I know my mom just bought something for me as a last minute gift, since I’m too sick to make it. I don’t know exactly what she bought, but I know who she bought it from. I don’t suppose many children have signed up for it, so it’s probably not ruining anyone’s christmas surprises, more an amusing annotation on the changes that technology brings.
For a movie about a whole bunch of felonies (burglary, kidnapping, blackmail), it really is a heart warming tale of hope for redemption.
Get it while it lasts, iMAME is a free port of the generic arcade emulator. I suspect it only got approved because there’s a big rush of apps being submitted before the Apple approvers go on Christmas break.
I’m at the post office, waiting in line to pick up a package (another Kickstarter has come through, hooray!), thinking to myself, I should start working on my Christmas cards this weekend’ohcrap!
So, if you are expecting a holiday card from me this year, um err, I’m doing New Years cards. Totally on purpose, yeah.
Usually, on-board clocks for PCs are not known for their long-term ability to stay correct. So I was surprised and impressed when I plugged in my old P4, that’s been sitting in a closet for over a year, if not two, to find him only 3 minutes off from reality.
In another year or so, it should be done applying all the Windows updates that have been put out since he last went to sleep.
A book where all the characters William Shatner ever played have come to life and are seeking to kill the real Will? Hell yeah, I’m gonna read that.
Even on Facebook, it would seem that the truism, “If I bleeds, it leads” holds for posts as well as traditional media. At least if one judges response to my two posts this weekend. The post about possibly breaking my toe got lots of responses. The post about winning a TV got only one ‘congratulations’.
Interesting.
