>Movie: I Spy.
What did you think? Tims comment was "Wow, thats gonna suck and I have to go see it"
I kinda agree with it.
But back to the subject at hand, how was it?

Blech

It could have been worse. It could have been better. Actually, it couldn't have been much better and still be that genre of movie, but that's not exactly a recommendation.

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.

If you have a bathtub and a large pot, boil some water and pour it in to a tub of cold water, repeat until you have the right temp, and take a nice hot bath. Works best with more than one person, tho.

Bathing? I agree, definitely works better with more than one person >:-)

My shower's a little small to act like a proper bathtub, but if the hot water's not finally on today, I'll do this.

You can't make this staement and not give at least some vague cryptic hint as to who it might be !

Turned out not to happen, we went out for Greek food in Willow Glen instead. Still good.

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.

I could go for one of those, not that I'm not looking for kissing or sex, but simply a person to go out to eat with and talk about stuff is nice too.
