Women, technology and Superman

(are you seeing a pattern?)

Went out to dinner with L-girl today. Ended up also watching a movie. Went to dinner at a restaurant inside a local mall. It was very cold as we sat there eating our food. We decided to walk around the mall but ended up watching a movie we both wanted to see. It was all very nice. I think Superman disapproves. I'm not sure I approve, per se, I just need to get back up on that horse and hanging around with L-girl seems to do the trick.

I also (finally) received my iPod. I had it sent to the office and then I couldn't play with it until Saturday morning. I have loaded all my downloaded stuff on there and it barely scratches the surface towards filling it. I'm now starting to rip all my CD's so I can load them on there as well. It's a long and boring excercise but it will be very cool once I get it done.

Superman and I went out to our favorite 'talkery' (that's where we talk and eat) but ended up not staying very long... so no new ground was covered. He asked if I won any victories for humanity and I admitted that I had not. I didn't realize there was a timeline. Sometimes I feel like his 'project', like I'm almost a playtoy he likes to direct. He has some good ideas but I have a few of my own that I'd like to try. I'm usually the one dispensing the advice so it's hard not to practice what I preach. I like being the type of person who does what he says, although I have told people to do things I'd never do in a million years.

Not much new here, but now I'm caught up.

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

Ending in "O"

I happened to see two movies today with no apparent link until I noticed that they both ended with the letter “O”. I didn’t plan that. First up, Superman and I went to see “Juno”. Every year around this time Superman makes a flight of fancy to see every picture nominated for Best Picture of the Oscars. I don’t have a problem with it, I just think it’s interesting. “Juno” is basically about a 16 year old, high school junior who has gotten herself pregnant. She immediately decides the best thing to do is to give the baby up for adoption. So she and her stereotypical air-headed, cheerleader friend check the ‘Penny Saver’ for a good couple to give the baby to. (yeah, that's where *I'd* go...) So they find a well off couple that lives in a nice neighborhood, with a nice house and nice furniture. Nice, right? Well, Juno falls hook-line-and-sinker for the couple and even feels the need to try and connect with them. I guess, for me, it wasn’t about what was seen in the movie but what ...

The Memory of Lists Past

I was cleaning out a closet tonight and found a lot of papers that held some kind of memory for me. Some were newspaper articles, some were funny memos... most were written or drawn by me. I came across the following, entitled "List for 1990": 1. Reorganize your life 2. Evaluate your feelings 3. Take a risk but be smart 4. Take care of #1 (yourself!) 5. Don't do anything you don't want to do 6. Reward risk-taking 7. Don't be afraid 8. Change the way you do things 9. Go somewhere when you get bored, don't just sit around 10. Find out how to take a compliment 11. Generally be more aggressive 12. Don't worry how other people feel 13. Learn to like yourself 14. Have fun! You will note that some things never change. It's most interesting to see what I thought about myself back then. Just thought I'd share...
