iDepression

rather depressed at the moment. no one to talk to about it (but I did talk to my dad, and he agreed with me that I have reason to be upset).

but this made me chuckle (on YouTube): Apple's Latest

No Review

Well, I won't be reviewing Superman Returns. I know you're heart-broken, but I'm not sure what I could add to anything I've read. I didn't like Kate Bosworth as Lois; Teri Hatcher epitomizes Lois Lane to me. I think Brandon Routh is an excellent choice for Superman, and Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor really pulled off the menace that I've never gotten from anyone or even from the comics.

The only fault I can really find with the movie (as a movie) is that Mr. Singer tried too hard to remain faithful to the original two movies. There can be homage without beind tied down. Perhaps if there had been more of a spirit of the original two movies but made as standalone, it might have been more successful. Hopefully, Warner Bros. will allow there to be another one with Mr. Singer on board. He can definitely pull it off (witness the first two X-Men movies) if only he can be freed from "honoring" the past so intimately.

Wishing

Well, I didn't make it to Pirates... today; stupid bank and stupid me for not leaving earlier. Who knew the bank building wouldn't have an ATM, and what they did have was in a completely separate lot, fully blocked off from the buildings 3 sections of parking. And that both of those two drive-up ATMs would be broken... :::sigh:::

OTOH, anyone who wants to get me this for my recent birthday Christmas or just because you think I'm super, I won't complain too much:
Superman

Ironic?

So, on my new computer, I set up my email accounts in my Netscape Mail client (I really really REALLY don't want to use Outlook - I don't like it at all).

I got my SBCglobal account set up, my old ev1 account set up (which is going away after another week or so to make sure I redirect all of those mails), my google account, and on the old computer I had my AOL mail on the Netscape client. (Yes, the AOL account is going away soon, too.)

But I cannot get my Netscape email account set up. In January of 2004, it just suddenly stopped synchronizing, and I have NEVER been able to connect the client up to my Netscape account since then. I find this a bit ironic.

Just Shoot Me

So, I haven't written my review of Superman Returns. I really liked it. Maybe that will have to do for now.

Went to an Asian restaurant tonight, Pei Wei. It's got some Chinese, Thai, Korean, and Japanese dishes, so it's really Asian in the truest sense. Then we got sorbetto afterwards (right next door - how convenient).

Man, the death of Ken Lay is a real shocker. I figured three things about it, none of which are necessarily mutually exclusive conditions: 1) heart disease took its toll; 2) worry about prison took its toll; or 3) God took him early so that he would not have to suffer. I know many will consider that last impossible to conceive because Ken Lay is the devil incarnate. I choose not to believe that, that even if he absolutely set out to defraud his employees and investors (which I don't believe), that God's mercy for a child is still amazing. If God can't forgive someone, who can He forgive?

Found out yesterday that an acquaintance's parents were killed in a car wreck driving home yesterday (Wednesday). Head on collision that killed both instantly. Awful stuff. I was almost in tears when I was told about it. Please pray for Wendy and the rest of her family.

It seems trivial in light of these things, but I'm planning to go see Pirates of the Carribbean this Saturday. Johnny Depp rocks; always has, even before that first Pirates movie.

Rocket Explosion

I love DSL... I can now see things like this http://www.break.com/index/satblow.html

The parking lot scene is astounding.

I'll try to write more this weekend about Superman Returns, etc.
