Eeb’s definitely got me excited to see “Moulin Rouge”. (Well, I was already pretty excited, given that Ewan McGregor plays a lovestruck poet who sings Madonna songs, but at least now I can back up my enthusiasm with a critical review.) He also liked “A Knight’s Tale”, which every other critic has been crapping on left and right. If Eeb says it’s okay, I’ll give it a look.
Gael found a great link today: the Douglas Coupland Dictionary. I’ve read all of his books, and I have to say Microserfs is the best.

Open-air urinals in Trafalgar Square. I repeat, OPEN-AIR URINALS IN TRAFALGAR BLOODY SQUARE. Animals in this city, I tell you. Animals.
Why is everyone suddenly interested in hacking my boxen? These stories sound like the deluded ravings of the Windoze Borg, trying to instill fear and paranoia in the ranks of happy Mac users.

PatMcd01: i’ll be getting dumber very soon
Given that George W. Bush will be presenting his commencement address next weekend, I told him I’d have to agree. To which he responded:
PatMcd01: haha… i should ask gw about my job strategery
Indeed.
Wow! “The Real World” is finally going to shoot a season in Chicago. They wanted to do it before but claimed that the weather was too crappy. Evidently they’ve now realized that Chicago has summer too.
This stupid article makes it sound like that alleged murderer was on her period and that’s why it’s understandable that she went on a homicidal rampage. Yeah, I realize that it goes on to explain she had an “associated polycystic ovary syndrome”, but they still make it sound like it was just “Aunt Flo.”
Roger Ebert susses out the answer to one of cinema’s greatest riddles: “Are Jay and Silent Bob inspired by C3PO and R2D2?”
