Uguuuuu~~~.... as if my last post wasn't in the same tone or not...
I've just got back from work. Thankfully, it's my last day and I've got 2 days off now.
However, we at IPTN just celebrated with a pseudo-Christmas Party by eating loads upon loads of meat and seafood at The Keg.
I have an 8oz steak with spicy shrimp and spicy crabmeat... and currently I'm so bloated and full that I'm totally not having dinner.
Gods! I just realized that I have a lot of things in my Palm that I haven't acted on, plus several e-mails that have gone unanswered for at least a month!
So much for me trying to get back into socialising. I'm going to write up a holiday e-mail and send it out tonight.
All my classmates wanted to see my "Detective Conan" video, and that was at last years' Donny Awards (April 2002). I may take a day or two and show it around downtown (where most of my classmates are working).
Mom had suggested that I read this novel by John Grisham called Skipping Christmas. I managed to read the entire thing while I was at work yesterday, and only in a few hours, too. It's a very entertaining read about a couple that decides to forego Christmas and take a cruise.
Now I know why so many Grisham novels have become movies - it's extremely easy to adapt this book to a screenplay. Throughout the second half of the book I was envisioning how I could make a short film out of it. I might see if it would be possible to shoot. ^_^
This Wild Thornberrys movie looks cool - but since I've never watched the show I'd be lost in the movie. But Tim Curry does the voice of Nigel Thornberry (the father)! This floored me. No wonder he hasn't been doing acting these past few years... he's been working with them!
And I also found out that Treebeard (from the second LOTR movie) is played by none other than John Rhys-Davies (Gimli)! Very cool!
Speaking of LOTR, I went with Sabrina over to Kinnon's to see the extended version yesterday. Very sweet version of the movie - made it a bit unpaced, but lots of extra little scenes made it worthwhile. "Hey, this is new" was said a lot ^_^
Kinnon got me a small Christmas gift as well - this awesome Chobits calendar. ^_^ I feel bad that I don't have anything for him O_o - I'll have to make it up to him somehow.
This article at H2G2 speaks about those who get so immersed in their computer games that they get a syndrome where they can't distinguish between real life and the monitor. Take a look - it's got some funny comments.
ADV has picked up Steam Detectives! Yes!
