Interesting stats, I hope :) Perhaps when I eventually publish the new new dominik.net backend (in the works since 2000… the current system was all supposed to be temporary, but it works decently well and well, has stuck for the last 5 years :P), I’ll add some live-updating tracking options.

Meet the Fockers - Funny movie — more mature than the first one. Stiller did a great job — and well, I can’t help but cheer for the Fockerizing :)

Ocean’s Twelve - Beautiful cinematography — Peter Andrews is truly a talented director of photography. The plot left some to be desired, but the European vistas were beautiful.

Garden State - An interesting movie. I liked the second half better than the first (post-Sam vs. pre-Sam). It started out weird but got better as it went along and even got inspirational by the end of it.

Flying back to Boston tommorrow (tomorrow being the 30th).

My fifth collection of poetry, Silence Falls, thirteen poems from 2004, is now online. The Foreword serves as a nice introduction.

Just watched 40 Days, 40 Nights on Comedy Central. I was expecting the worst, but it turned out rather humorous. The resolution of the entire Vow was a bit, meh, but the ending was sappily romantically sweet and thus satisfactory. Curiously the movie inspired personal reflection as to whether my own uh, policy, had a similar effect on women, but I think that the film was in some sense a bit of an exagerration. Overall the movie was fun as long as one didn’t think too much or take its characters’ actions as a moral standard. Plus the girl was cute (Erica, not Nicole). ;) The entire flower scene was also romantic and sweet and a rather creative idea that I’ll keep in mind if I ever find myself in a similar situation. ;)mp3 bose 2004 auditelus a950 mp3rock 30 creditsviagra hmo 2007viagra about pillmp3 16 voltmcilwain gamble aaronrussian mp3 10 Map

Watched Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Extended Edition last night. Excellent movie, all 4 hours and 10 minutes of it :) The additional scenes complement the movie and make it much more enjoyable for folks who’ve read the books.

Home in Michigan, where snow is continually falling… about a foot or more outside, but since this is Michigan, the roads are kept clear because well, this is Michigan and we’re not pansies like some places that shutdown if there’s a half-inch of snow ;)

Also, it seems that several of my mailing lists got categorized as Spam by Gmail and I’m now in the process of going through my Spam folder and making lots of mail as “Not Spam.” This explains why it seemed messages were disappearing on me :-/ I’m not sure why Gmail thought those messages spam but hopefully it won’t continue marking them as spam… (Managing email is hard to do over a 28.8 connection :-/)

Also watched Supersize Me two nights ago; it’s a documentary about a man who eats nothing but McDonald’s for a month… doctors monitor his health and are surprised as things turn out.

Finally watched the Bourne Supremacy — I didn’t see it in theatres because of reading bad reviews about camera work… but I watched it on DVD and I found the camera work innovative and interesting and not jarring at all.

Yesterday in B&N I sat down and read a book that caught my eye — Superflirt, by a British writer. UK writers are so refreshing in that they lack the American prudishness about sex and sexuality. The book was actually quite insightful, with a surprisingly analytical look at body language and the various signals men and women (unknowingly) send to one another. Since I’ve been in situations where I’ve felt very blind as to what people were thinking, I found the book quite educational.

After arriving at Logan I found out my flight out today got cancelled… flying out tomorrow now.

Ah well. As long as I get home safely and before Christmas :)

RSI Christmas Party was great fun and good times — truly some quality people.
