Asps... very dangerous

You go first.

I think if I stay in Memphis too much longer, they'll have to lock me up. I really hate this city - the drivers, the stores, even the "cultured" people. Stores and drivers are obvious, but culture requires some explanation: Memphis has a nice theater downtown known as the Orpheum. During the summer, instead of Broadway or off-Broadway productions, they run "classic" movies. It was explained that the theater started with both Vaudville shows and silent movies when it was opened, so the movies pay homage to that history. Anyway, a small group of us went to Raiders of the Lost Ark at the Orpheum tonight. The "cultured" people in the crowd insisted on clapping (and not always at the scenes where you'd think clapping was at least somewhat warranted). Not only that, I had a running commentary during the short film preceeding the movie and for about the first half of the movie itself. Don't get me wrong, I like to snark and offer thoughts on a movie when I'm watching it in the comfort of my own home, but not in the theater. I almost turned around and asked them if they would just shut up and let people watch the movie.

I also just checked - the second unit director, Michael Moore, is not the one in the news lately. That might have been enough to make me hate the movie, too.

I actually got some work done today. And while I was out tonight, too. I set up a MATLAB script to run all my data through the main program while I was gone. It didn't take all that much work to write the script (it's really just a for loop), and I didn't have to sit here while all those data sets ran.

Sleeeeeeeep. More tomorrow.
