"An economist is a surgeon with an excellent scalpel and a rough-edged lancet, who operates beautifully on the dead and tortures the living."

Hah!


In other news, I have the hiccups.

Another Highlander Movie?

Apparently Adrian Paul is acting in and producing "Highlander: The Source". It will appear on Sci Fi on September 15th.

I think I have to watch it.

Yes.

Even though it runs the risk of being pure horseshit.

My love of gazing at Adrian Paul will not be denied.

But how bad could it be for a man whose other current projects includes a movie called "Eyeborgs"?

And from the synopsis, Duncan Macleod is "wangsting". Oh yeah. Welcome to Road Apple Ranch.

I just learned "wangst" recently, and now I must aid in it's proliferation.

Friday

This is why Blu-ray is pissing me off.

A special edition of Robocop is coming out on regular DVD, but they are releasing the Blu-ray without those extras. At least so far. Maybe they'll change their tune. This after HD is able to offer a number of fun PIP Extras on their dvds. To be fair, there are a lot of older movies being released on HD-DVD that are meager on extra features, too. But nothing seems to coming out on Blu-ray, wherase 300, Heroes Season 1, and other movies are offering some fun special features.

In other news, my macbook magsafe power adaptor has shown signs of current overload and some melting of the cable just near the power brick portion of the adaptor. Not happy. But, thankfully, this is the first time I've had to replace my power adaptor. Still, I'm not pleased. And would you believe all the places near me are sold out? However, Serendipity is mine, for a Best Buy near an event I'll be going to out in Rocklin, CA tonight has it in stock.

Work is reasonable. We had a bit of a long meeting today, but there was much smartassery had behind the scenes. All was well.

I hope your Fridays are going well!

In other news...

...I just created an outlook appointment with my chest.

The appointment name was: 0000000000000000000000....121....

Yes, I was leaning over my keyboard fixing something towards the back of my desk.

However, that's the first time I've created an appointment like that, after all these years. Then again, it's not often that Outlook Calendar is my active window.
