Odds

I got my ear pierced yesterday. My first piercing ever -- I never even had regular jewelry store girly pierced ears before. I had my left earlobe done: 14 gauge with a captive bead ring, which I think is about 3/4" in diameter. I think I'd like to go up to 8 gauge eventually, but early days yet.

I feel very cool now.

Over the last couple of months, I've been on a real writing jag. Even when it was going slowly, I could still sit down and do it, even if it made me swear. Intellectually, I knew that it couldn't last forever, but somehow couldn't bring myself to believe it.

Well, now I believe it. I think I'm a little burnt out. I sit and stare at my BBEdit doc and have vague thoughts and can't get my fingers to move. So, there's no use in trying. I have a lot of writing I should be doing this weekend, but today I declare Hal's Day Off.

This morning, I will read. This afternoon, I will go to a movie. But which one? Should I go see Chicago, which has powerful performances, musical numbers, and which everyone recommends? Or should I go see The Core, which is sure to have deplorable science, overwrought dialogue, and people dying hideous deaths?

The Core it is, then. Hopefully this will be as good as Volcano.

I meant to tape Fastlane last night but I forgot. I game on Fridays and between cleaning the house and taking my character up a level, and all, I find it hard to remember to set the VCR. I think this is why I wasn't watching it before.

I read Discover magazine religiously (or close to it) and their last issue had an article about The Core. They said it was pretty damn good sciencewise-- they had some professor-y science-type guy giving the mmoviemakers advice and pointing out the major plot holes, etc.

Hopefully I haven't ruined it for you. :D

NooooOOOOOooooo! How can I feel superior whilst watching it now? If you happen to know there are no gruesome deaths, I don't want to hear about it. *g*

This reminds me of when I went to see Jurassic Park 3. I was all geared up to see people mauled and eaten by dinosaurs. And then there was hardly any of that at all. But, to my surprise, the movie was as slashy as all get out, so that appeased me somewhat.
