It's Like I Should Post Every Hour...

Saturday night, we went to see The DaVinci Code. I liked it. One: the book is a work of fiction so everything in it isn't necessarily true anyway so the Catholic Church should just shut the hell up. It is true that they also don't acknowledge Jesus had a brother, an early leader in the Christian Church, which has been recently proven, because it destroys their belief Mary never had sex. Ever. Could have Jesus gotten some with Mary Magdalene and knocked her up? Why not? I mean there are several places in the Bible where he acted like a normal human...

As to the movie itself, acting by the supporting players impressed me more than the main actors. Sir Ian McKellan rocked as did token French actor Jean Reno. (If a movie needs a French actor, there he is.) Paul Bettany did a remarkable job as Silas considering what a wiseass he is in real life.

Tom Hanks was fine and it was good to get the old Tom back after such films as Road to Perdition, which was a good film but you know what I mean...My big problem with him here was he never proved to me why he in particular was needed for this role. Langdon is described as Harrison Ford in the book and the movie reminded me a lot of National Treasure, with a religious connotation, so they could have cast Nicolas Cage as well and it would have been the same movie.

The other thing I wanted to discuss was that I've been reminded of my geekiness lately and how it may hurt my chances of finding love. Recently, I realized I can't change this about me nor do I want to. Does this mean I have to settle for celibacy or getting involved with women I may or may not find attractive? Society suggests so but, at the moment I still have hope.

Geekiness will not hamper you in matters of love as long as you're not defined by your geekiness. If all you do is think, act, and talk about geeky things you're totally boring to most people and not skilled socially. (I know it's probably not you, hakuna matata) But if you're fun-loving and good at talking about a variety of topics, then surely your passion and knowledge of things geeky can only be endearing and helpful when it does come up.

I'm Diet Geek, but my bf is Hardcore Geek so I do get really embarrassed not when he's overtly geeky, but when he is overtly geeky at the wrong times to the wrong ppl. It's not a matter of being geeky, I'd be pissed if he were talking about sports. It's him not knowing his audience.

Well, I have met a few people that are way more geeky than me. I do not have every episode of every '80's tv show commmited to memory nor am I obsessed with video games or anime. And yes, I am able to converse about current events (though nowadays who can do that?), sports or religion as well as pop culture. I guess I just needed someone to notice...

This Is Where I Was And Will Be Again

These are pictures from my first trip down to Southwest Florida this past October. The 'rents and I are going back down tomorrow so I thought I'd give all one of you a clue to where I was. This is a local park called Ponce De Leone Park. I like this shot because it shows some differences between down there and up here. There's some pretty tacky homes down there. Some homes, maybe that one, are worth about a million dollars and don't look much more interesting than that. By the way, we hope to see a real manatee or two this time... This is Gilchrist Park. That water in the lower left corner is actually part of a big fountain. Again, this shot shows a big difference in climate from up here. Interestingly, this park has the more extravagant Ponce De Leone statue/monument. Weird... We will probably visit this park again at least once while we're down. The theme of differences continues here, al beit morbidly. I had to get a shot of this as it amused me. (Although the ...

Remind Me

Remind me to complain how boring and unexciting my life more often because as soon as I did, it got really exciting really fast. Last night, we had four visitors arrive from Korea. They like ziti and garlic bread. Go figure. They will be staying until Sunday night. I told my mother (AKA Hyacinth Bucket) she was making way too much salad but did she listen? No. Now we have this huge-ass bowl of salad in the fridge...What's really irritating is first the fork we use to serve catfood went missing now Susie's dish is missing as well... Tomorrow, I have a physical to prepare for my surgery then I go to my orthopedist's to fill out consent forms. Woo Hoo! I hope I can find time for a haircut as well because... Friday, I have a job interview at a library in Massachusetts! It's a reference job but I also will be conducting a book group. I've never done that but it sounds really fun. Sure, I'll be stuck reading many book that sucks but isn't that what book group i...

Thank You Al Stewart

Well, I'm back from taking care of all those cats. It was actually one cat who had the the run of most of the house and 9 others that stayed in one bedroom; two of which I never saw the whole time. The biggest challenge was changing the litter boxes twice a day. One of the littlest kittens escaped from the room about a half dozen times and was harder and harder to catch. I spent most of my time watching old TV series and movies. I watched episodes of: Magnum PI including the pilot, Hunter including an episode the DVD box hyped had Ed O'Niell in it but also included "Fran McDormand" who perhaps is more well known, Charlie's Angels including the episode that aired originally the day I was born which also happens to be Jaclyn Smith's birthday..., Quantum Leap , Remington Steele , Sledge Hammer , Father Dowling and The Avengers . All series Lady Vader probably doesn't remember since she was under six when they originally aired. (OK, The Avengers and...
