cyranoNew schedule has been announced. Starting Saturday the 19th I will be working Sunday through Wednesday, ten am to eight pm.
This is much better than it could have been, and better than I expected. I can still ride the train three days a week, and my social life requires minimal tinkering. In addition, I may be able to do stuff like go to Death Guild now.
Saw Shanghai Knights. Some cool stunts, including more ladder work. And a trailer for Shaolin Soccer. In general, though, I'm glad I only paid $3 to see it.
It had a rockin' anachronistic soundtrack, like A Knight's Tale, and there was a lot of that Mike Myers style 'turn to the camera and look coy' cleverness. The script writers should probably be shot in the head twice. (Further writing credits including the original Shanghai Noon, Showtime, Smallville, Lethal Weapon 4 and Timecop.) Or somebody should tell them to quit trying so hard.
The outtakes over the closing credits were the best part of the film, as usual, but in a bad way.
So I finally figured out what pisses me off so much about people who don't use their turn signals. It's their amazing lack of consideration. "I'm going to do something that could fuck you up real good, maybe even kill you. But, you know, it's too much bother to actually move my finger to turn on the signal. You don't need to know anyway."
And who the hell thought up this yellow ribbon thing anyway? Do these people with their armloads of yellow ribbons really think our servicemen like being compared to convicted felons coming home and hoping to be forgiven for their crimes? Who thought this was a good idea?

Yellow, um, ribbons
