I just got some good news! I don't want to jinx it by talking about it too much, but I am pretty happy right now. I'm also dog tired, I really don't like yard work. I also hope it's not too hot for me to sleep today. OK, so maybe I'm not that happy. I'm still happier than I was, what do you want from the advanced scout of the AngryCarl collective? We're not called HappyCarl for a reason.
Oh no, I've said too much -- c1150

Lore Rocks.
There's not really much more that needs to be said than that.
Besides, "take my quiz, c1150 of angrycarl commands it!"
Or not, you know, whatever, I'm flexible.

Movie Review Some One Might Care About
So I just saw Spider-Man 3, it was OK. I'm still digesting what I saw but initial impressions are that it drags a lot in the middle. The effects were decent again, the story was faithful to the source in some respects and wildly different in others. I don't want to go into too much detail and spoil the movie for any one who hasn't seen it.
I guess I just didn't feel the same excitement the I felt for the other two in the series. Some how it just didn't grab me the same way, maybe because I knew the original stories too well.
Apropos of nothing, I'd also like to say I saw trailers for some truly awful looking movies. I mean honestly does the world need another Jackie Chan/Chris Tucker buddy cop movie? That's not rhetorical, the answer is a resounding NO! But the new Bourne movie looks pretty cool.

Turkish coffee
Jean Luc Petard's post about a Mediterranean restaurant got me to thinking about Turkish coffee and how I haven't had that particular delight in a long, long time. Unfortunately, I do not think Turkish coffee is high on the list of eats that the Pennsylvania Dutch are adept at making. They'd probably find some way of slipping pickled beet eggs or scrapple or some abomination in there.
Then, unfortunately, I naturally start down the path of all the other things that used to be in my life and now, are not. I think I'll go lie down for a while.

Geek time
OK, I'm going to nerd-out here for a little bit:
Heroes is the most amazing thing to happen to TV. Ever.
Now I'm an uber-geek, I read comics, I love science fiction in any form, I was a greasy haired, tape on glasses, calculator carrying, AV working, chocolate milk drinking mega-dork in high school. So Heroes would have been the end all be all of my existence back then. Now, pretty much the same, without the grease, tape and calculator; I still enjoy the occasional chocolate milk.
It amazes me that there is finally a show on the air that really captures, in most ways, that which is best in comics. The way shots are composed, the occasionally clunky dialog, the story arcs, all evoke the same reaction in me as Powers, for instance. And, to me, it's even more amazing when I read that Tim Kring, the producer, was never a big fan of comics. Sometimes it takes an outsider to find the solution.

Working's for chumps
So I'm on call this weekend, weather is beautiful, should be no problem.
However, all this stuff is going bad, and I haven't been able to get any sleep.
Not a happy c1150. Especially for the pittance they pay me to do this 24 hour on call stuff.
Back to beeing sleepy, with porn music running through my head, thanks Jean Luc.

Shout outs!
What? I can be cool, sort of.
But I realized I should mention a couple of things.
But I realized I should mention a couple of things.
- I have confirmed readers now! I know I have reader that don't comment or comment privately, but now I have some proof that people occasionally look at this mess.
- Speaking of comments, I got off my high horse and turned off the comment moderation. I don't know why I thought I was going to be a target for comment spam. Just paranoid I guess.
- If anyone wants an official angrycarl.com email address, head on over to http://www.angrycarl.com, click the join link and fill out the form. It's Gmail re-branded as angrycarl mail. How fun!
I think that's everything previously forgotten.
c1150 -- even sleepier now
Man, I'm beat.
I think I only got an hour of sleep today. Oh, I don't recall if I mentioned, I'm working 3rd shift now. 22:00 to 07:00 Sunday through Friday morning. So I've been here about an hour, it's been quiet so far [knock wood]. But, laws yes, I am tired. I really hope I get that other job, and soon. I hate living like a movie vampire, especially as I seem to be missing all of the movie vampire sexiness. Still have the pale skin though, and I think Wesley Snipes is trying to kill me. Now if I could just get the techno soundtrack to follow me around, I think it would keep me awake.
