Random Notes from Southern Illinois
Haven't done random notes in awhile. Let's roll.
Crap. It was www.picklepress.net. It's funny how a com and a net are two entirely different things. (Thanks Steve!)
The movie season is starting to wind down. Things will pick back up, probably from October till the end of the year which is Oscar season, of course. If you're a cinemaholic like I am, keep your eyes open for "The Brothers Grimm" and uh, some other movie by Terry Gilliam and "A History of Violence" by David Cronenberg. Also, if you're an animation nut like me, I think the Wallace and Gromit movie should be out soon as well, although I ain't seen preview one yet. On the other hand, I've seen several previews for Corpse Bride, which I think is out in October or November.
I think we've finally hit our rainy season out here. I figure we'll get a near flood, and then it'll just stop, then we'll get a super heatwave again, and then it'll be winter.
There are apparently laws (or soon to be laws) in Indiapolis, Orlando, and now Atlanta that forbid Panhandling near Tourists sites. Of course, the two halfs of my brain are divided on this issue. One half says, "Hell yeah, make them smelly bastards get a real job like the rest of us" While the other says, "That sucks. Why don't they make being down on your luck and homeless illegal next. Not all of us catch the same breaks in life. Under different circumstances that could be me." Moving on...
So, I gotta admit, I'm getting a little tired of getting blogbombed every now and then. I dunno what the technical term is, but a blogbomb is where someone randomly comments on your site about a something that has nothing to do with your site, and is usually an ad for something. Unfortunately, I believe in freedom of speech, and if some jerk wants to use my site to advertise t-shirts or cars or whatever, then I'm not gonna runaround censoring it. It is annoying though.
I wonder how much longer my workboots will last before they disentigrate?
