View From the Bushes

Well, since I blogged on Friday Pacifier's Rotten Tomato Rating has dropped below that of Be Cool, but it hardly matters, since Pacifier took in over 30 million dollars at the box office -- yes, that's right: 30 million. I'm not sure if that indicates a unfulfilled hunger for family films (I hope that's what it indicates) or a tragic indictment of the American publics' taste in movies. Either way, you should start preparing yourself for Pacifier Part II, Operation Poopy Diaper.

The weekend was interesting; my son was throwing up for the majority of it. Fortunately my wife was gone for much of it, so I got to really experience the illness first hand, something which had previously been denied to me. I think it's a memory I'll always treasure; then just as that had finally settled down a railroad tanker car started leaking some horrible acids and they instituted a mandatory evactuation of a 6 square block area. Fortunately we weren't in the area that needed to be evacuated, but the major freeway we had planned to drive on was.

Overall it was an interesting weekend. There was something else I was going to write about, but I'm out of room/time, so maybe I'll talk about it tomorrow. I will leave you with one final link to an article in Slate about massively multiplayer games in particular, World of Warcraft and City of Heroes. The feelings he expresses in the beginning about why he can't play, very closely mirror my own.
