You know what I haven’t seen, that I need to? Is Ed Wood.

Email incompetence hilarity
According to an interesting virus-generated message, I somehow caused a mail delivery failure while I was… sending an email… to myself.
It occurred to me the other day that to all appearances, I completely touch-type now. I learned to type ages ago, during my first year of high school, and could theoretically do it then. I never quite got rid of my bad glance-at-the-keys habits, though–habits that persisted through high school (when I didn’t type all that much) and college (when I did). I never quite mastered the numbers row, either. I can touch-type numbers on the numeric keypad now, though, and I appear to have left my glancing habits behind (unless I’m subconsciously reading keys out the bottom of my eyes).
I do still need to glance down for things like ampersands and square brackets, so maybe I should hold off on the plan to cover all my home keyboard keys with decals and clear gloss. Also, it would make it kind of tough if anybody else wanted to use my computer, and I’d look like a showoff bastard. It’s tempting, though. Think about it–I could cover them all with patcheyed smiley faces and be totally Hackers!
Heard on the way into the library:
“I’m all kinds of five minutes late to my class!”
And here I thought there was just the one.
I think it’s a good thing that a Canadian movie won Best FLF. Not nearly enough attention is paid, in my opinion, to the rich and vibrant culture of Canadian-language film.
I think it’s funny that in the original Men in Black, the most advanced audio storage device that we got from the aliens was MiniDiscs.
Evidence that me five years ago wouldn’t recognize me now
I watch and am interested by C-Span, probably two days out of three.
Admittedly, part of this is the fact that it’s one-tenth of all the channels we get, but mostly it’s because I’m interested in what people on there are saying.
