Randomness
Jan. 30th, 2007 06:36 pmThe weekend was heavy on the social interactions. Friday night ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nminusone and I went to go see "Smokin' Aces" at Tyson's. Unfortunately, so did everyone else and the show was sold out. Instead we ended up seeing "Epic Movie". I recommend rental, preferably from a redbox location for $1. Sit through the credits for a bit, there are two extra scenes of varying levels of hilarity. Saturday boadiccea and thetalkingmoose came over for pizza and zombie movies and we had a nice, low-key evening. Sunday, we saw "Pan's Labyrinth" with tommx. Wow. That movie is beautiful. And sad. And terrible. And wonderful. I definitely want to see it again, even though there were a few scenes that had me covering my eyes. I was also pleased to see that my expensive piece of paper did me some good in that I could understand a fair amount of it without the subtitles.
What does a woman with poor hand-eye coordination do when she wants to take up a new hobby? She picks up a pair of fluffy pink poi and a video, of course. Because you certainly don't need hand-eye coordination to spin poi or anything.
Some links:
I feel kind of dirty for lusting after Daniel Radcliffe (you know, Harry Potter) since he's some fraction of my age approaching half, but daaaaaaamn. (This one sfw, some others in this gallery mostly so. They're from a production of "Equus".)
For steampunk fans: the opti-transcripticon - scanner mod. I want. I think Brass Goggles is my current favorite blog, surpassing even longtime fave The Daily WTF.
Processing "is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and sound". I really want to play with this a bit.
Perhaps Wegmans should hire someone to do QA on their cakes. I want a cake with random code on it; I think perhaps I'll get one that says "<cake />" for the next party. And a platter that says "404: Cake not found".
I think my wedding's probably going to take place on a pirate ship in Vegas, and I promise the electric slide will have no place at the reception. Everyone in the wedding party has to be prepared to do this, however. Hee!
