Might as well be Helen Keller
I know I've got a serious 'Net addiction going. When I got into work this morning we had no access, no email, no internet but at least the phones were working.

And I did end up getting an awful lot taken care of without the distraction of the World Wide Web (by the way, what happens when they get access on a space station? does it become the Universe Wide Web?).

But I feel like I'm missing my arm or something. Just not quite whole without the ability to check email, check in on baseball games (yes, I AM that big a geek), read blogs, get news, get coverage (which has been absolutely HUGE today so far, several top tier hits for the company and that is money in the bank!) and interact with my adopted and second universe.

Its all good though and today's rolling on by without much hassle yet. And tomorrow's the start of my four day weekend with lots and lots of activity going on. Wedding tomorrow (not mine), yard sale again on Saturday (too much stuff left over, more stuff to add and more friends to add stuff to the pile), house warming on Sunday after playing beach volleyball in the morning and then something good and fun for Monday. And that doesn't include a ride or two as I get my Szaz back into fighting form. Doesn't include some kayaking if I can squeeze it in. Doesn't include some surfing if I can squeeze that in as well. Doesn't include tennis either. Or workouts or cleaning the house or working in the garden out back.

As I say, its going to be a busy weekend. But it'll be fun and that's the good part. Oh yeah, I've also got to take back my phone system to CostCo as the frequency basically turns off the Airport every time I use the phone (and no, that wasn't the problem the other day). We either go up to the new 5.8 gig phones or go back to the 900 mhz phones.

So much to talk about and so little time as I'm hungry and in need of some foods (though the boysenberry/cream cheese scone I had this morning from Rebecca's Mighty Muffins was awesome! not too sweet, not to tart, just right!).

Quick Movie Review: Red Dragon
Yeah, yeah, this prequel to Silence of the Lambs has been out on DVD and VHS for a long time now and I'm just getting around to watching it. No reason really, just busy. But P was very interested in seeing it (and fell asleep on the couch promptly after starting it last night!) so we rented it the other day.

My first impression is that it was just a bit too predictable for me. And Anthony Hopkins over acted a bit (as he sometimes does) but also comes across as a truly frightening guy. Edward Norton is good, if a little tired looking but maybe that was the point, and he always looked like he was one sharp criticism away from bawling.

But not a whole lot in the movie caught me by surprise and that kind of sucks. But the acting is good, the action is pretty grotesque and real looking, the death scenes are horrifying (particularly the mirror in the empty eye sockets scenes, those were very, very creepy) and it was, overall, an entertaining movie. And I could go on and on about it but its lunch time and I've gotta go stand in line at the post office to get a package to a gentleman in Sweden today.
