If a movie has any of the following people in it, I’ll watch it no matter how bad the movie looks (probably a work in progress):
Pierce Brosnan
Bruce Willis
Simon Pegg
Tony Jaa (for now)
Richard Dean Anderson
Jason Lee
Jim Carrey
These are almost there. I’d watch most anything these kids were in:
Hugh Jackman
Hugh Grant
Hugh Laurie
Rachel Weisz
Gyllenhaals
Anthony Hopkins
Jessica Biel
Jackie Chan
Penelope Cruz
Michele Yeoh
Donny Yen
Bruce Lee
Jet Li
Christian Bale
Johnny Depp
There’s probably some huge psychological analysis to be done on the fact that nearly all of the above are male.

Die Hard 4 : Live Free or Die Hard : computers : not even close.
Die hard wanted to pretend that it knew about computers. It really tried. It sold firesale and hacking ‘the old network’. Awesome.
I came across this photo:

and it started me thinking: is this even close to accurate?
Bruce Willis is not PC. Bruce Willis is Unix. Why?
Who does all the real work for Mac OS/X ? Who is dirty, gritty, who’s family doesn’t really like him, but gets all the work done in record time?
Unix.
Or maybe z/OS.

The computer that was hosting my site went defunct on me, so I’m in the process of moving my stuff.
Stay tuned for details….

I made a large mistake today. A mistake I will not soon make again. For alas, such suffering and tribulation my actions have caused me that I shall nevermore make such a foolish error again. Upon initial thought, such a thing would seem innocent enough; verily, ’tis of the devil himself. For as it appears, 5:30 in the PM on this very day, Christmas Eve’s Eve, is among the most horrific moments in the universe to decend into the bowels of yon local Target store.

My distaste for mice is fueled once again.
I had 4 mice.
They got hungry.
I now have 3 1/2 mice.
