Life in Unordered List Form
R. Alex Whitlock
- I usually don't loathe morning so, but I have just been dead these last couple of mornings. And it's not been because I've been saying up too late.
- Batman Begins is in theaters and all that. One neat thing about being up here is that I can watch it at a drive-in theater! One day next week I'm definitely going to stick around and catch it on the big big big screen.
- Being clean-shaven is generally a way to avoid acne, but since I shaved my beard off I've been having more acne trouble than I've had in a long time.
- My boss's first words upon seeing the new, shaven me: When did we start hiring 15 year olds?
- Since Camille is often mistaken for being younger than she is, we look like the perfect teenage couple... except that we're closer to 30 than 19.
- I had lunch with a couple coworkers yesterday. They'd had a BBQ the night before and we feasted on leftovers. I'd already wolfed down my steak when they determined that their meat was bad. Word still out on whether or not I have anything to fear.
- Camille's parents are in town and we're all planning to go up to Island Park this weekend. They asked if there was any food I wanted them to buy. I suggested Easy Cheeze. First, I had to successfully [explain] what Easy Cheeze was. Second, I had to successfully explain why someone would want to eat room-temperature-oils-masquerading-as-cheese-in-quasi-liquid-form. I batted 1-for-2.

Observations
Batman Begins sucked. Katie Holmes' acting is like her appearance: flat and thin, and, unlike in a physical context, that is not good in an acting context.
I disagree. I thought that it was one of the best superhero movies ever made.
As Alex knows, Batman never interested me as much as the supporting characters in his universe did. Alex, this movie finally has me interested in Bruce Wayne/Batman and his journey.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
