Before my friends Adam and Cris married, they had considered having me
officiate at their wedding. I was kind of disappointed when they chose to get married in Florence, Italy instead. -Not that I begrudge them! Anyway, Charles and Jean Ann have asked me do their wedding ceremony in February, so I will get to exercise my
Reverend Powers in a truly official capacity yet. Adam and Cris just moved, I'm looking forward to their
housewarming/holiday party Friday evening.
Received
Debian 2.2 from
cheap*bytes, to install on one of the
486s people keep giving me. Mom requested some
Christmas gift suggestions, and I drew a blank - I used to keep a list of books and CD's I wanted, but
I no longer desire to accumulate media. My flatmate decided to get me a PC DVD upgrade for Christmas, in appreciation for the extended loan of one of the cars, so I gave Mom a short list of
movies worthy of periodic review.
Rented
Naked Lunch,
The Replacement Killers,
End of Days, and
Robocop over the past few days. I had forgotten how
psycho Naked Lunch was - we smoked a little between
That 70's Show and
Naked Lunch, and the scene with Bill's lady friend
shooting up bug powder in her breast made me feel horribly faint. Needles are why I will never be interested in heroin.
End of Days had some suspense,
killer f/x, and
Robin Tunney (as
eye candy, rather than any performance worth mention) going for it, but little else.
The Replacement Killers would have been better with more plot surprises and less extended shoot-em-up footage, and maybe more
mmm-Mira Sorvin-oh! stalking around in her underwear.
I'm pleased with the performance of the freeware
Coffeecup Free FTP client. Transferred a heap of old game notes on
Jaintuchen gods and saints to the computer; maybe I'll
node 'em up sometime soon.
