Indiana Jones trivia

I discovered this by mistake:

10 Awesome Indiana Jones Facts

Indiana Jones and the Monkey King would have been awesome. Can you imagine Harrison Ford vs. Jet Li?

That would've been good times.

Short fight, but still.

JOY!!!!!

io9 has delivered fantastic news!!!

I'm so very excited!

Perhaps this is an indication of how badly I need a life? Eh. Whatever. I'm still pretty thrilled by this.

Pics 'n stuff

I finally uploaded my pics from the Carnivale parade to my Flickr account.

I managed to get a movie too:

Monkeys writing Shakespeare

Wired: Since then, have you written yourselves into any corners?

Moore: Some of that is happening right now as we wrap up the show. It's like, OK, what did that mean, exactly? How do we get out of this?

---
It's really disappointing to have Moore admit that they're making it up as they're going along with BSG.

It's not like it wasn't obvious, but still... I liked the illusion that they didn't have their heads up their collective rears.

Oh well.

Gah!

"The Wise Man's Fear", the second Patrick Rothfuss novel about Kvothe is due out April 7, 2009.

2009????

AAAH!!!!

GodDAMN it!!!!!

Lazy yawn

That was a relaxing three days.

I'm a bit surprised how relaxing it was.

Beer in Oakland with Tim on Friday, then dinner with Tim and Kaori on Saturday (followed by another wee pint or two at E.J. Phair). Carnivale parade on Sunday (followed by lunch and more beer).

There was a bit of a beer theme, overall.

In-between all this, I managed to get some grocery shopping done and cook up another batch of pasta sauce. Turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself.

I also finished "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. That book was utterly fantastic. I can't wait for the next book and I can't find out an ETA for it. DAMNIT!!!

Yesterday was surprisingly overcast and cool. Good jogging weather. And jogging was pretty much required with all the beer over the weekend.

Best of all? I got a lot of sleep. I think I've managed to overcome my sleep deficit. This morning wasn't nearly as brutal as I thought it would be.

It's a four-day work week, which could mean anything. Typically, short work weeks are just the same amount of work squeezed into less time, but I can hope that it's reasonably even in pace.

Friday I'll get together with Tim and Steve for a pint or two. June's looking pretty insane after this weekend.

Carnivale

So I met up with Steve and hit the Carnivale parade in the Mission this morning.

While it was almost inhumanly-difficult to get up before 9am, I managed and hit the city in a reasonable amount of time. We caught the parade with some time to spare and got to see his friends in the parade.

I took a ridiculous amount of pics. Some are okay. Some... not so much, even with the awesome camera. Such is life.

A burger, garlic fries, and beer followed. I've become a serious lightweight when two "proper pints" can make my head spin, and it has. Ah well, this is the last misbehaving I do for a while. Time to get back into the exercise-and-eat-right habit.

I'm glad tomorrow is a holiday. Sleeping in! Yay!
