watched twister (1996) this afternoon inside while wind advisories are in effect here outisde - it's mid-60's at the moment. interesting effect. i kept thinking what a great idea that would be for an amusement park ride. but it would probably have to be wimped down so that no one sued. *sigh*
also saw a some other late 90s movies this weekend - Enemy of the State (1998), Conspiracy Theory (1997), G.I. Jane (1997) - what was it about conspiracy stuff back then ? interesting how these things seem to be cut differently depending on current events and the political atmosphere.
yeah, i veg in front of the tv constantly. this will be taken care of about a year from now. upside-down schedule at the moment too, staying up until 4 or 5am.
also reading the last book in the otherland series. there's a couple of bummer events in the book that have demotivated me a bit, but still curious how the plotlines will be resolved. and there is still hope some twists will work out and remedy earlier fatalities - the subject of the series is, after all, immortality (among other things). if you know, don't tell me.
paused at the moment on website things, other than incidentals. i was putting off my reading too much.
some interesting events at the customer i was working with until recently. people coming and going, among other things. still not a lot of rationality surrounding several ongoing projects there. i suspect other technical services will soon be in jeopardy.
that's it for updates for now. lots of other things remain undone, need to start getting my shit together.
