7/17/2008 Today's annoyanceThe city of Dallas is putting up signs that read "NO TEXTING OR HANDHELD USE IN AN ACTIVE SCHOOL ZONE" in all the school zones.
3/2/2008 Whoops!So I just reinstalled Windows XP on an older computer. 8 or 10 reboots and well over 100 patches later, I'm where I am now, which is not quite finished. Interestingly, I couldn't install IE 7. When I did, after I rebooted, IE wouldn't start. I could see the window flash and it went away immediately. Meh, I don't feel like trying to figure out what the problem is tonight. I'd rather install the Visual Studio 2008 express editions. :) Test postLong time since I've posted here. Trying out the Windows Live Writer app. Seems to be nice. I've never been too happy using the web browser to post--lots of people complain from time to time about a long post getting eaten. 9/21/2007 Protecting your carIf you're going to attach grating to the windows to protect the glass, attach it FIRMLY. They did it right in the remake of Dawn of the Dead. Grating was welded to the skin. Apparently, the people of the convoy in Resident Evil: Extinction didn't ever think of that, because a bunch of zombies managed to rip all that protection off with their bare hands. Resident Evil: Extinction Not bad, if you can ignore the usual inability Hollywood has with portraying stuff how it happens in real life, altho admittedly there wasn't much of that in this one.
Worth seeing if you liked the first two. Sadly, there wasn't a direct view of Milla naked like in the first two movies. That poor girl needs to eat a steak, tho. I'm trying to be spoiler-free here. The movie opens, as is not a surprise to anyone who's seen the trailer, with an homage to the opening of the first movie, and ends, like the first two, abruptly. However, I think it'd be harder to portray the ending into the next movie than it was the first and second times. 9/20/2007 Britney, tangentiallyI was reading someone else's post about Britney, and she commented on the myth that women could "have it all."
And I realized all of a sudden how wrong that is. We men sure never got to "have it all," so I don't see why women ever thought they could. I work a full-time job. Counting my lunch hour and commute time, that's over 10 hours of my day gone, 5 days a week. And that's assuming that I can get out after my 8 hours are up--anyone who works in modern-day corporate America knows that one way they try to keep productivity high is by paying you for 40 hours and trying to get you to work 45-50 if they can. Generally I am successful at avoiding that trap, but still, that's almost two thirds of my waking day that's time I don't spend with my family.
What a fraud the feminists perpetrated on western women! They were told they could raise a family and have a career, something the vast majority of us men never did. Welll, OK, I help, certainly, but the fact that I'm gone most of the time earning the money that keeps us living in a house, having two cars, food, clothes, blah blah blah, is all time I can't spend raising the kids. It's no wonder women are discovering they can't do it, either.
