I expected a horrible movie and was pleasantly surprised that it was better than that. They put way too much emphasis on Spike and not enough on giant robots beating each other up, but it was actually better than I’d anticipated.

Based on all the hype for District 9 I was expecting better than what we get.

This movie was about as interesting as an episode of Star Trek. Everything is solved by really smart people at the end, and the bad guys are ignorant jerks whose close-minded hatred do them in or whatever.

I was really disappointed.

That, and the popcorn cost me about 2x what the ticket price was just made me cranky.

Check out what happens next:

(8/13/2009 11:28:06 PM) BigFatJerkFace: need it for a project

I won’t get into today’s chat with BigFatJerkFace (his real name) but suffice it to say, I’m enraged!

Almost enough to not love the guy so much. Oh, who am I kidding, you’re still tops, man.

Edit: Lest you get the wrong impression, gentle readers (Hi Kate and Erin!) I registered those Hovers while I worked at the old company, and didn’t have any claim to them anyway. Except mayimbialik.hover.com – that one is mine!

(10:34:02 PM) Greg: I wasn’t going to do anything with it anyway, but you’d better not touch mayimbialik.hover.com
(10:34:08 PM) BigFatJerkFace: nooooo
(10:34:12 PM) BigFatJerkFace: that was my next projecttttt

My sister and her family are on vacation in Italy. The ‘adorable’ little munchkins, a.k.a. my nieces, a.k.a. Toast and Banana sent grandma and grandpa postcards….and me (once they got around to remembering me).

Now, actually let me give you a little background. My two little monsters like to tease their old uncle. For one thing, they call me ‘Grandpa’ – Toast once did it by mistake, but they keep doing it thinking they’re being cute. They once called me on my birthday and sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to me with their mom. But when they got to ‘Happy Birthday dear ______’ they substituted ‘Uncle Greg’ for ‘Grandpa’. They must have planned it because they both did it. They were laughing like little wild hyenas and my sister went into a laughing fit as well.

Cute.

Here’s the postcards they sent, a day apart each. First up, Toast’s:

“Hi grand-pa and grand-ma, wish you were here! P.S Happy Birthday Grand pa! P.S.S. sorry uncle greg! Love ___”

And the younger one’s:

“Hi! grandma Grandpa. P.S. Sorry uncle Greg I forgot you Love ____ =D”
