The Gym/M. Night/Post-dot-com world
Jan. 17th, 2003 12:01 amYay, had my first orientation at the YMCA tonight. It was pretty cool, I can't believe I haven't started working out until now given the rather sedentary lifestyle I live. Really, it makes me feel absolutely incredible. And to top it all off there was a really hot east indian guy doing laps around the track who looked like a super-beefy version of the guitar player from Sum-41. Yum.
Rented Signs which was a very pleasing movie. I've been a fan of all M. Night. Shyamalan's work including the under-rated Unbreakable. Definitely some very good storying telling going on. Thematically his movies aren't topically obvious. He's a tricky one, that Shyamalan. Also rented The Acid House which is another movie adaptation of an Irving Welsh book.
On a SimCity kick lately. Nope, not SimCity 4 but the old version for the SNES and on my Palm.
Speaking of Palm, I am totally cheesed at that glorified address book already. I've had the thing barely a year and it's already acting funny. Sometimes it crashes requiring a reset and it always crashes now when sending an outgoing IR transmission. I appreciate the appointment alarms and ability to get the news every morning with AvantGo BUT it seems to me that a subscription to the newspaper and a digital watch would meet most of the needs I expect from my Palm for a lot less. That glorified digital watch from Microsoft seems more and more appealing if the price and functionality is right.
