April Blizzards Bring....

Today is April 14th and it snowed nearly a foot here during the night. To the left is a picture of my deck, complete with my poor BBQ that I optimistically dragged out of storage this past weekend.

I am starting to think that Al Gore guy might be on to something....

And if all that wasn't enough the creepy/amusing people that came up with Google Ads struck again. This morning strung across the top of my inbox was an offer for $50,000 plots of land in Costa Rica. Don't tempt me Google... don't f-ing tempt me.

Night Out

Last night I had the joy and privilege of accompanying my dear Krysta out for dinner and a movie. Sadly, it is currently that gaping black hole of movie releases in between the last season Oscar contenders and the real beginning of the Summer blockbusters. The pickings at the local cineplex were slim, but I checked out rottentomatoes.com to see what might be passable, and to my great suprise I found that Source Code with Jake Gyllenhaal (yes I had to google that spelling.... get a decent stage name before you start acting, yeesh.) was sitting at a tomato rating of 90%. I was shocked at this, because while the concept was cool, I assumed the movie itself would be total crap.


So we went, and it was not bad. Imagine taking Groundhog Day and tossing in some 24 and you'd get a pretty good idea of the movie. It was fairly predictable but still enjoyable for what it was. I'd give you a rating for it, but we still haven't come up with a catchy proprietary rating system.

A quick blurb

Yes we're still alive, I've just been busy with school and Cody has just been his usual lazy self.

For fans of indie games steam is having a slobber knocker of a sale right now called the "Potato Sack" including 13 hit indie games for 75% off. Or you can buy them a la carte for 50% off their regular price. Pretty sweet stuff, if you ask me.
