I guess my web site has reached a certain level of popularity. I have started to get spammed in the comments of my Daily Update entries. I have been able to keep on top of them thanks to the IP banning feature in Movable Type, but it is still a pain. There has to be a batch comment editor feature of MT, I just haven’t…
November 14, 2003Major bad TiVo experience last night. Daniel came over to watch Survivor only to discover that the cable had gone out or got messed up changing the channels. The result? An hour of a blank screen instead of the latest episode. Dang it! And then, the discovery that the episode of 24 I TiVo’ed for him on Tuesday was actually an encore of the first…
November 7, 2003Chapter Three of the Matrix series finds Neo in a coma and those creepy sentinels digging ever so closer to the last human settlement of Zion (no word on if it is near the National Park of the same name). Turns out, our hero is caught between two worlds (not for long thanks to the work of Trinity, Morpheus, and Seraph – who I think…
November 7, 2003Disney’s latest feature is a perfect example of what is wrong with their animation department. They do not know what to make. Should they make serious epics, Broadway musicals, or over the top comedies? I think the Disney folks need to sit back and watch Pixar’s Finding Nemo (they should have, but maybe it is too much to bare). Pixar is making the films Disney…
November 6, 2003This weekend was a washout in more ways than one. It started Friday night with a deluge at West Hollywood. There were hardly anyone there and overall it was not much fun. I managed to get soaked, and my smoking jacket bled red all over my shirt. I hate being wet – especially cold and wet. Saturday, around 8 people came over to sit and…
November 3, 2003I made it up to Amanda’s salon up in Pasadena yesterday. She’s been after me to come back and get my hair done for a bit. With me moving down to Orange County, it is a bit of a trek, but she does great work. When I arrived, Sarah was there getting her massive do done, so there was a bit of a wait. While…
October 31, 2003**Cough** **Wheeze** Man has it been smoky around here! Take a look! Thankfully, it has cleared up a bit as the big fire in Rancho Cucamonga and San Bernardino has shifted and the winds are calmer so the smoke doesn’t travel as far. Saturday and Sunday were the worst days as it looked like you were driving through snow (or confetti if you are a…
October 28, 2003I’ve managed to do a bit of movie watching lately. First up was the Matrix Reloaded. I didn’t get to see this one in the theaters when it came out, but I decided to pick up the DVD at Best Buy. I have heard a lot about this movie, but I still enjoyed it. One of the things that got to me was how fake…
October 27, 2003Finally – after much procrastinating and hand wringing over file sizes, I have posted my photos from my recent trip to Walt Disney World. I have not added any captions to the photos – that will come over the next few weeks. Now all I need to do is work on the templates so that there is some navigation back to the Trip Diaries page.…
October 22, 2003Eeek. I can’t believe it has been almost 10 days since my last post. I have been uber busy with work and general goofing off that I really haven’t had much to post on the site. I did manage to have an epiphany on Friday about what I want to do travel wise. I came up with a list of places to go and see…
