Late Night Movies

So I went out to dinner and a movie with Sarah last night. I'll try and get a proper post on that later today, but for right now the point is that we went to a 10pm showing of Pirates 2 and I didn't get to bed until 1:30 or 2:00. I'm tired. Coffee has seemed to help a little bit, but...

And just to keep score, on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best movie I've ever seen, Pirates gets a 4. It was an alright movie, but I think the story was a little thin and it relied too much on in-jokes and references to the first movie for its humor. Some of that is good stuff, sure, but when you have no fewer than 3 references to "why is the rum gone," a good line in the first movie but weak to keep repeating. All in all, I think it sets the stage for an interesting third movie, but that's about it. Which, I guess, makes it a wonderful example of "Middle Trilogy Syndrome."

Whatever gets you through the day...

Four hours left before I clock out and go home. Getting closer to 3.5 now, and at least a bit of that is going to be in training (starting up again at 1300). I have every intention of napping when I get home, then maybe some Guild Wars and finishing off the last bit of "The Golden Compas." I also have a few posts I've been meaning to write up; if I can remember those, I'll try to motivate myself to getting them up.

Short week this week, with a trip up to Ocean City with the family at the end of it. half way through.

Paid rent today. My car needs an oil change. And a bath.

For those of you out there who, like me, have a Pirates-of-Dark-Water-shaped hole in their soul, I have just been directed to This Site, which streams a new episode every week. Right now they seem to be on Episode 3. If that's true, Episode 4 will start running on Sunday.

Thank you beyond words, xenu.
