Kids
Changing dirty diapers has moved to the easier end of the scale. It’s when the human waste ends up on the -outside- of its intended receptacle that it becomes difficult.
Christmas shopping for the boys is done, and we’ve been out shopping for either that or the house nearly EVERY day of the week.
And we all know how much I LURVE shopping.
Hunter’s been with his Dad for the last few weekends, plus the Mondays and Tuesdays. I miss him a bunch. Aidan’s been clingy enough to make up for it, though.
Netflix
Okay, so this is a classic. Like my not having read Dune (despite having seen both versions), not having seen Blade Runner plunked me into the “unread heathen” category of Science Fiction fan. Let alone having the cred to write. So, out of all of the different cuts and edits of the movie, I figured the “Final Cut” was the best. It being final and everything.
It’s likely that I wasn’t impressed because I’ve seen these tropes over and over and over again. Granted, this was the movie that originated them, but it wasn’t the first that had hit me, so it was the same-old same-old for me. I totally dug the noir aspects of the movie, the “more of the same” future that is shared by Firefly/Serenity, and the human/replicant love interest. I disliked the thuggishness of the main character, but I admired his tenacity. If I had seen it earlier in my life, it would have probably made more of an impact. Three stars.
This anime was just as psychotic as I remember it being. Eyebrows. Robots popping out of heads. Guitars as weapons. Sexual innuendo… er… more of a beating you over the head. Less of the innuendo. Factories that look like clothes irons that aren’t really factories. Other robots that look like hands. Eyebrows?! Three stars.
Job
Still only had two interviews. I have applied for nearly forty jobs. Still going. Working on another possibility. We shall see how that develops. Vagueness will continue until something concrete is developed.
I hope that everyone can stay sane this Holiday season. :)
