Well, we’re still getting some weird mix of rain and snow right now. Up at work there’s a tiny bit of accumulation, but down at home there’s nothing. It is amazing the difference 7 miles makes.
In other news I’m doing lunch with my old boss/high school roommate today. He’s the one responsible for my being out here on the east coast. Back when I was considering moving back out here he just happened to call and ask me if I wanted a job.
Robert Graves. “The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he really is very good, in spite of all the people who say he is very good.”
So just how do I file the CD ‘The Beat – Special Beat Service’. Does it go under B for The Beat, or E for The English Beat.
I’ve got a second picture up at The Mirror Project. I have a few others I need to go through and submit sometime.
There’s nothing quite like getting a good nights sleep before starting a new week. I feel much more focused already this week. I just need to get a couple of things done today, the biggest of which is to call my gastro doc and get a new perscription for my Protonix.
The weekend ended up being fairly quiet, and very relaxing. I stayed in most of the weekend. Saturday night I met up with Keith and his girlfriend for sushi at Cafe Sushi (I’m pretty sure the people who work there must think I’m a sushi addict or something), then when I got home I got my turntables set up again and did a quick little netcast. I didn’t tell too many people so it was essentially for the benefit of Chris, Lyn, and Tracy. It’s always more fun practicing when I have a little bit of an audience.
Then yesterday I went into Harvard Square to run some errands and ended up getting a bunch of stuff I hadn’t planned on. Isn’t that how it always is?
A sausage egg and cheese sandwich on a toasted bagel.
(At least this morning it is)
Pablo Picasso. “There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.”
I just got done watching Cardcaptor Sakura – The Movie and I enjoyed it quite a bit. As far as anime movies go this is one of the better ones I’ve seen. The story has to do with Sakura winning a trip to Hong Kong. Of course, once she gets there some strange things start happening around her. This movie was really enjoyable. With the full cast of characters making appearances. We also get to meet a bit more of Li’s family, including his mother and his sisters (who are hysterical).
An amazing job was done with this DVD. The video quality is amazing and the sound was kickass. If you have a system with 5.1 sound it really makes a difference. This one has 5.1 available for both the japanese and english versions. I haven’t had a chance to check out the dub of this, and I probably won’t do more then a sampling of it. The dub is done for the US version, Cardcaptors, so supposedly has all the name changes.
If you are a fan of CCS I highly recommend it.
Today has certainly been a day for much goodness. I stopped into Tokyo Kid today with the intent of picking up a Kenshin DVD, I wanted to pick up the movie. While I was there I was quite suprised to find that the Cardcaptor Sakura movie was in stock already! I don’t think it is supposed to be out for over a week. I quickly pick up a copy of it and am just about to pop it into the DVD player now. I hope to give a mini-review later.
A lot of the CDs I’ve been picking up have been ones I used to have and during poor parts of my life have sold. So a lot of the stuff I’ve been picking up is 80s stuff:
