Kevin, I -definitely- love you

I’m doing some computer work and watching “Sold Out: A Threevening With Kevin Smith”. I watched it going to, from and during the Mexico trip and then I keep pulling it up and watch pieces and parts of it again and again. I just love the way he tells these stories. They’re funny, interesting and occasionally self deprecating, all of which makes for good storytelling. He kind of broke with the standard Q&A style this time, using a random question to lauch into this 45 minute long story but it didn’t matter because they’re hillarious. The 3rd disk had the regular, semi-informative Q&A sections. If you’ve got 4 hours to kill again and again, this DVD is perfect.

Kri and Kir

A large chunk of the happy hour crowd is off snowboarding today but we got together smaller crowd (like they say, 3 is a crowd) and still went out for a little post work fun. We decided that PT’s was more our speed today and we haven’t been there for quite a while. I feel like a theater director “The show must go on!”. The only problem with going to PT’s at 6:06 is that the light in here always sucks really bad.

Dear Apple,

Please add a flash to the next iPhone.
Thank you.

Love,
Todd.

Jason Statham, I think I love you

His head is just so…muscular. And don’t get me started on the accent. OK, relax, I’m not Matt. I do have a thing for Jason Statham movies though. Once I saw “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” followed by “Snatch” I was his. Throw in a little “Crank” and I’m in heaven. Unfortunately he doesn’t have the -best- taste in the movies he picks but that’s OK. I forgive him. “Death Race” didn’t need too much forgiveness. It wasn’t awesome but it wasn’t “Transporter 2″ so I can live with it.

Holy…freaking…crap

It snowed. In Vegas. A lot. According to what I was reading this is the most snow we’ve gotten in recorded history which started in 1937. At this point it has been snowing for 5 hours and hasn’t really stopped. That meant that my car was pretty much covered in snow. I was faced with a dilemma: How to get the snow off the windows so I could drive the 2 miles home. In my car was the following stuff

1 camera tripod
1 box cat litter
2 weekly free magazines
2 empty water bottles
1 box computer equipment
1 computer case
1 bowling bag with 2 balls and a pair bowling shoes
1 12×20 art print, suitable for framing
1 shirt

Thank <insert your favorite deity here> that I still had a shirt in my trunk from Halloween. People are all weird. It feels like I’m about on the set of one of my post apocalyptic movies. I’m going home and locking the door and not coming down till all this weird white crap goes away.

Fun at the Blue Martini

Mike got his PMP certification so we’re having a minor celebration. This isn’t one of those wimpy certs. This thing is a beast. So to the Blue Martini we went. I have a hard time resisting this place. It’s a lot of fun with a good crowd which, of course, we are. Congrats Mike!

See, I’m not the only one

I’m helping geeeek out with his home web development system and ended up with this picture. It’s too bad that it isn’t in its old configuration with a 4th monitor on top. That would have been an awesome picture. Unfortunately I’m pretty the server is going to win temporarily because it is so freaking slow. 566Mhz Celerons are just not worth dealing with but he wants to and who am I to judge? We are using this time wisely and I’m showing him the helpful site where I learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube and now he’s hooked. Knowing his penchant for obsession I fear that I shouldn’t have openned this door. By this time next week he’ll be solving cubes with his feet.

Dexter, you creepy bastard

I realized that I hadn’t been watching “Dexter” since the first few episodes this season and I have some chainmail to get through so like chocolate and peanut butter, these two things go great together. “Dexter” fits my chainmailing requirement perfectly as it is dialog heavy, not particularly visually stimulating and subtitle-less. He really is a creepy bastard though. I find myself wanting to read the book this was based on. I’m hoping it will be even better than the show.
