I saw Aeon Flux the other day and it was bad in many ways, but the kind of bad that’s fun. The script was bad, most of the acting was bad, most of the ideas behind it was bad. What was good? It was clear a lot of work went into making the look and […]

Liana had Peter call me to offer insurance advice about my scooter accident. I forgot the specifics because I was running errands at the time but I called back for more specifics and put them to use and I was successful! I will be compensated for the day off work and my medical co-pay and […]

At work we have these little devices where you press a button and it gives you a code to type in. I don’t use the services that make use of that so I just press the button a few times a day. The thing that makes me feel it isn’t as secure as it should […]

I heard back from the insurance company of the door opening woman and they said that since her coverage was lapsed when the accident occured that wouldn’t give me anything. I didn’t really expect them to but I figured it was worth a shot. So now I have to try and get money directly from […]

“The Whole 9 Yards” was a fun movie so as I sat down to watch “The Whole 10 Yards” I was hoping for more of the same. Instead it’s mostly pretty boring. I didn’t care what happened to any of there characters and none could hold my attention except for those played by half of […]

I iced everything and rested and Friday morning my hips were feeling slightly better than the day before. My neck and shoulders were really tight though, […]

I was riding home to meet the window guy so he could measure all the windows. I crossed the Cayuga intersection and then a door was open in front of me. I think I tried to swerve some, but I hit it and went down. I think I hit my left side first and then […]

I saw Rent this weekend. I wasn’t super interested but I liked the song in the trailer so I went. I liked it all, the look, the characters, the music. The songs weren’t catchy enough so that they were constantly in my head afterwards, but that’s ok. The problem I had with it was I […]

There’s been a few more days of work and the results have more plants and a fountain! A little more destruction and some joke doorsin the kitchen and .
