Car: yes.
Hot water: no.
Movie: I Spy.
Today:
House stuff continues, gotta get hazard insurance, collecting house info.
Investment/financial/downpayment stuff looks like it's going fine.
Need to talk to a dealership about cars and tradeins.
Looks like I'm cooking for more than just me for the first time in awhile. Yay!

I kinda agree with it.
But back to the subject at hand, how was it?
Blech
Re: I Spy
Date: 2002-11-05 11:49 am (UTC)There were several parts where I liked the protagonist a lot better than I expected to. Occasionally he seemed competent enough that you could imagine him being in the situations depicted. Most of the time you had to get used to the usual comedy convention of him being an ordinary guy with insufficient talent and training doing things he seemed to have never done before, despite being a professional spy. That tends to bother me unless there's some good excuse for it. Actually, it bothers me even when there is.
And then there were the mandatory "painfully stupid" scenes where the characters are doing stuff that is both horrendously badly-chosen and entirely out of character, presumably to drive the plot. It's not a wacky comedy without them. I expected worse.
So yeah, Tim's probably got this one pegged. For what it is, it's quite decent.

Date: 2002-11-05 11:44 pm (UTC)My romantic situation has been complicated and off-kilter lately. Just in case I needed another amusing wrinkle, there's a nice young lady that I'm dating, sort of. By "sort of", what I mean is that we do a lot of stuff together, we go out to dinner regularly, we talk about anything and everything, and we've never done anything physically intimate beyond hugging. It's like a regular poly relationship but without the sex. We even talk about dating and relationships (among many other things), so that's the same too :-) It's neat.
So yeah, her.
