View From the Bushes

I'm sitting here watching Bend It Like Beckham, enjoying a great movie (Keira Knightly is a hottie) and suddenly it occurs to me that I hadn't blogged yet. Sometimes it's like that -- you're having a great time, not a care in the world and then you realize that you still have to spread confusion, misinformation, doubt and fear. Actually my writing isn't good enough to spread fear, so I have to settle for the first three. Speaking of spreading confusion, I should clarify the reference from Friday: "Ether Bunny" refers to a series of knock-knock jokes (not the horrible, wish I had never read, urban legend).

Unfortunately, this particular copy of the movie is a rental and has been watched way too many times. It was fine for the first 90 minutes, but now it seems to hang every every 30 seconds. Some people shouldn't be allowed to rent DVDs. Hopefully Blockbuster will give me some kind of refund or credit, though based on past experience they seem to have a corporate soul matched in evil only by Microsoft.

In any case, that's all for tonight. Things are going, albeit a little slowly; hopefully I'll have something to report here pretty quick. I should mention before I leave that no one won the DARPA Grand Challange. In fact, the farthest anyone got on the 142 mile course was seven miles. Kind of disappointing, but it will be held again and I think this is a good start.
