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...

Random Comments Into My Life

We did yardwork yesterday. I picked up a lot of sticks. Home Depot sucks on a Friday morning. My father and I went to get a new gascan for the mower and there was only one employee around to help us...and she didn't know anything about how these new fangled gas cans work... So due to a bank error when I reset my bank account so I could accurately keep track again, I had like a hundred dollars less in my account than I thought so my last bill payment put me in the hole. This would've been all right and easily fixed if I had been paid for the last week of my mailroom job but, oddly, I still have not been even though it's been weeks. I don't know if I can accurately convey how infuriated this makes me. If it doesn't happen soon, heads will roll! Also yesterday I re-watched the Enterprise episode "Regeneration"; this time with audio commentary from the writers. They made some valid points I hadn't considered on the issue of if this episode screws with...

And Now, A Lame Quiz!

Your Score : Dionysus 33% Extroversion, 46% Intuition, 55% Emotiveness, 76% Perceptiveness Although deeply emotional, you are extremely lacking in self-knowledge. You are somewhat needy, and when bored, may become very hedonistic. Your life is a quest for meaning, above all else. You are most like Dionysus. You are primarily interested in serving others, but your efforts are almost always unappreciated. You aren't confrontational, you're often out of tune with your own needs and unaware of the consequences of your own actions. You are, at heart, a good person. You are very affectionate, and you are very loyal to your friends and family. You are very reluctant to burden others with your own problems, to the point that this in itself can become a problem for the people who care about you. This is a particular of a more general problem. Dionysus sends wave of ruin throughout his personal life. He is the photographer who seduces his subjects. He is the teacher who seduces a student...

The Neglected Blog

With the discovery of the time-waster that is Facebook, I find I no longer need to waste my time here. This is mainly why I haven't done any quizzes or other memes here in a cat's age. (I'm not a dog person...) They're all over there. Also why tell you all about what's not going on in my life when I can better waste time by making fake money off Lindsay Lohan's hi-jinks? Added to that, you can regularly follow the mundaness that is my life on Twitter. I don't want to say I'll never blog again. Frankly, this site and I have chronicled much over the years and I'm not ready to give it up fully. Every so often, something comes up worth sharing. Case in point, Thursday night, there was a retirement celebration for our outgoing OT professor complete with a guest lecturer from Boston, dinner and a vesper service designed by the professor herself. It was good Thai food, though admittedly not my favorite Asian cuisine, and saw many people I knew. My parents c...
