more movies!

I picked up 3 more movies from the library today. King Kong, the 2005 version, Last Holiday with Queen Latifah and Two for the Money with Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey. I need to return them by Friday so most likely I'll only get to watch two of them--and I'll probably start with Two for the Money. Of the 3 movies, it's the lowest rated on IMDb but it appeals to me the most.

I've watched two DVDs since the weekend. I've been having trouble sleeping so I toss in a DVD to pass the time. I watched War of the Worlds on Sunday and From Dusk to Dawn on Monday. Of the two, the Tarantino Vampire movie was the better, but that's not saying much. The main thing I carried away from Dusk to Dawn is that Salma Hayek is amazing looking. Wow. Pity she was a vampire. War of the Worlds I was expecting to like despite the bad press it got. Unfortunately it was so trite and boring I'd have been better off just watching reruns of M*A*S*H on television--Hell, I'd have been better off watching reruns of Roseanne. This was a silly and boring movie from the first scene all the way to the end. Interminable. I kept expecting... something...anything...to happen. I really wonder what Spielberg was thinking when he made this.

I'll be packing up and moving my office at the end of this month. Right now we office share.

I'm already so behind on my real work as I get bids for phone systems, office equipment, parking, bla bla fucking bla. The upside is that I get an office again! Cubie farms suck. I repeat, SUCK!

Anyway, I feel your pain. Good luck with your move.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
