Mochas In The Morning

Mochas in the morning – I love it.  It’s a habit I’ve been in since college.  It helps me settle down and get my work done.

I actually miss being in school.  Sometimes I think about going back for something like graphic design.  I would like that.

In other news, I just saw Ironman 2.  Pretty fun, but the plot was really watered down.  I really did not care if he succeeded – the villain was so unimposing.

I also just wrote up an article on the best hard drive backup software. My laptop hard drive recently broke, and I had backed it up with Acronis True Image Home 2010.  Thankfully I was able to restore everything completely and I lost no data at all.

The High Price Of Concessions

Why are concessions at the movies so expensive?  It seems absurd.  I went to the movies the other night and asked for a small Pepsi.  The guy hands me a cup the size of a thimble, and then asks for 5.25.  For 50 cents more I could forsake the thimble and trade it in for something that looked a little more normal; about the size of a medium drink from Subway.  5.75 for a cup of sugar water?  Don’t get me started on the $7.00 popcorn.  Get real!  This only drives people to smuggle in their own food.  It also drives them away from the movies altogether.

2012 – No More Pull Ups

I went to see 2012 with my friends last night.  It was fun – I mean, it brought back memories of when I went to see Independence Day and was totally awestruck.  Independence Day was one of the first of the new generation disaster movies, and everyone thought it was brilliant.  It actually had a good story, unlike most of the dreck they come out with now.

2012 really destroyed the world.  I actually found it slightly upsetting.  I mean, it was utter destruction and annihilation of everything we know and love.  I guess I’m getting more sensitive in my old age, but I just found it to be tooooo much.  The movie was also like an hour too long.

Anyway, so Hollywood spent a gazillion dollars on this movie and the last line was “No more pullups!”  Great.  Guess the apocalypse cures bed wetting!
