Someone answer this for me: Is it true that Ewoks were never actually 'named' in the movie? So like no one ever actually said 'Ewok' at any point?

This is one of those things where I go, "Oh, of course they... wait... um... what about... no..."

So I planned to fill this entry with initial thoughts on the loaner puppy, but things just didn't work out the way we hoped.

And since apparently I mortgaged my creativity when we bought the house, you get just some updates on our lives.

Oh, and there are a couple cute pictures.

Enjoy!

According to RottenTomatoes, Constantine got (at time of this writing) a 48%, which means 48% of reviewers thought it was worth seeing. I know Roger Ebert panned it.

Probably see it anyway...

A film based on Terry Brooks' Magic Kingdom for Sale books? Could go either way...

An elephant was drinking out of a river one day, when he spotted a turtle asleep on a log. So, he ambled on over and kicked it clear across the river.

"What did you do that for?" asked a passing giraffe.

"Because I recognized it as the same turtle that took a nip out of my trunk 53 years ago."

"Wow, what a memory" commented the giraffe.

"Yes," said the elephant. "Turtle recall".

So as we're leaving my last meeting, I see the girl beside me has a movie pass, one of those big promotional ones for an advance screening.

"What movie you seeing?" I ask.
"Oh, uh..." She flips it over. "Constantine."
"Sweet! I'm dying to see that one."
She frowns and looks at the pass with a vauge expression of distaste. "Really? The description seems kinda... I dunno..."
"Hey, if you don't want it, pass it my way."

But no. She just looked puzzled at my excitement and went on her way. I was tempted to grab it and run -- why waste it on someone who won't appreciate it -- but that would likely be seen badly within our corporate environment.

Sigh.

I'm sure most of you have seen this, but the Zombie Infection Simulator is holding on to my attention in a disturbing manner. I've been keeping a little window open with it running for the last couple days.

Lisa drives by and drops off:

1. One blue rose
2. Large stuffed giraffe
3. 'I Love You' balloon

Silly girl. Love her so very much.

And all I did was wake her up with Valentine Cupcakes.

We have two newspapers in town. Both covered Prince Charles' engagement to Camilla today.

The Herald says:

Very frank and amusing interview with Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino over the The Onion A.V. Club this week.

I'm a little surprised that the creator of one of the best PG rated shows on television uses the word "fuck" so much in casual conversation.

I can't get MovableType's scheduled post function to work, so I have to manually publish, and I just didn't have time this morning. So I'll link it up when I get home.

It's pretty. Worth waiting two weeks for.

I hope.

Wish I had more to say here this week. The whole week has been absorbed by the mundane details of unpacking and setting up the new house, none of which I think would excite anyone. Ooh! They've emptied another box! Woo!

Course, if anyone has any spare bookcases lying around, we'd love to have them. During our year-and-a-half and R&J's, we filled every available spot on our current shelves, not remembering all the little-used reference books and the like in storage at my folks' place. So our shelves are overstuffed to critical levels, and, should you fail to hear from us for more than a week at a time, please call the ski patrol and have them come extricate us from a literary avalanche.

And my tooth is hurting again, damn it all. The temporary filling is still in place, but it may not last until April, which is when my coverage starts again. And there are few ways we can finance the extraction that needs to take place.

Do dentists take Air Miles?

Too tired. Tooth hurting too much. Too much unpacking/work/everything.

Try again next week.
