A Veritable Hodgepodge

I haven't posted anything worthwhile in a few days, and unfortunately, I don't intend to do so now. I will, however, write down a few things and point out some news tidbits that I found interesting.

• My infatuation with the frusion game is over... it now takes me a couple of minutes to beat the entire thing without getting hit a single time. I emailed Dannon and told them to add some new levels... so we'll see how that turns out.
• While in North Carolina I bought a strawberry limeade from Sonic- it was awesome... except for the end where some of the syrup froze together in strings and came up through the straw.
• Hurricane Katrina is coming ashore as I write this. I'm not even sure if it is a hurricane yet and I don't feel like spending the two seconds it would take to check on the internet. Apparently Central Florida could get up to 12 inches of rain- shitty.
• Windtalkers- Worst. Movie. Ever. It had three strikes against it within the first ten minutes. One for being directed by John Woo, another for having Nicholas Cage and a third for having a plot lending itself to some crappy "racist white people begrudgingly accept minority" theme. I'm not sure how it ended, but I would guess there was a large nudity pile and with at least one actor saying something along the lines of "Diversity enhances my life experience!" and then a cut to the obligatory scene of Nicholas Cage smoking a peace pipe or laughing with his new Indian buddies while watching a rain dance. It was so bad it made me wish for a second that I was watching Alexander again. If I gave awards for bad movies, it would get two just based on the first ten minutes. One for worst action/battle scene and another for worst acting by an actor who made a movie as good as Con-Air.
  
• I made the drive up to North Carolina in a little over six and half hours. It's 520 miles- I'll let you do the math. It's a direct result of having another courtesy Acura and some fast moving traffic.

"Ass kicking will no longer be unscripted"

• Word on the street, is that Microsoft has signed a $5 million dollar deal to bring Master Chief to the big screen sometime in 2007. The general consensus (i.e. me) is that this movie will either be sweet or just totally blow. Think Matrix vs. Matrix: Revolutions. However, just like Matrix: Revolutions I'll go see it anyway.
• Finally, the drycleaner got the tree frog out of my pants.
