back home, after much security to-do. the line at the southwest terminal at lax was halfway to terminal two! but it moved pretty fast, and they let people whose flight was coming up cut ahead, so it worked out fine.
mika is fine and really really fat. maybe i’ve just been looking at wee little malix all week. or maybe she’s really fat. plus, she must have bumped into something running around because she’s got a fat lip on one side of her chin. it makes her look like two-face.
amongst all the packages waiting for me (stop buying stuff! bad!) was that 250gb external firewire hard drive i ordered, which was pretty cheap, something like $234. less than a dollar a gig! it positively dwarfs the 12gb hard drive on my imac, which was always running full. and now i can back up my 30gb ipod on something, which also makes it easier (and alleviates concerns about re-ripping) to swap music on and off that bulging ipod. plus now i can just keep all the music in one place, and just use the sharing option of itunes to stream music to the laptop hooked up to the stereo, instead of having some paltry subset. sweet.
oh quick scifi movie reviews:
hellboy - pretty good. great look, ron perlman is great, and it’s nicely faithful to the original. the action scenes weren’t that exciting, but i find that the major failing of efforts like this. still, worth seeing.
donnie darko - finally got around to seeing this. wow, it actually lived up to the hype. really interesting, odd, and a little creepy.
underworld - wow, incredibly horrible. and long. i can see the pitch for this movie: “imagine ‘the matrix’, except with vampires fighting werewolves!” i think they blew their wad on the pitch.
