The obligatory “it been a while post”
So I have a whole bunch of essays/rants floating about in my head, but I’m too busy/tired/lazy for that so all you get for now is some random insight into my ever so exciting life(yes, this will be a short post).
- -I want to see Batman Begins with Leland. By the gods that, was a good movie. It was exactly what a Batman film should be. It had action, drama, plot twist, subtle (with just the right amount of corny) humor, interconnected thematic motifs. This movie fixed pretty much everything I hate about movies. I think I need to pick up the Burton original on DVD, I haven’t seen it in years.
- I ordered my new computer today. The ordering process was delayed by waiting for the processor to be in stock, then watching in horror as the processor went out of stock before I could order it, then waiting a few days to see if it would come back in stock, then finally settling on the X2 4200+ (which is the same processor, with half the L2 cache) and saving a bit of cash there. Other notable substitutions include an awesome high end, quiet power supply and a much nicer motherboard. Barring disaster, it should be here within two weeks time, at which point I will commence the rather large task of transferring 50GBs of data, ripping hundreds of CDs using FLAC, installing the dozens of applications I depend on, fighting with Microsoft about Office activation, and just generally configuring the system until everything is just so.
- From the Poetic Justice Depart. I would love to see this happen, the part about disturbing copies of Atlas Shrugged is awesome.
- Finally, my favorite history/physics geek (ok he’s the only one I know) has started a political blog. I’m debating Ayn Rand with him as we speak
-CI
