Welcome to my Weekly Update, where I update you on the stuff that stuck out to me in my personal life during the past week, in no particular order!

Saw Sky Captain and The World Of Tomorrow on Sunday, and MAN was it cool! Like a blender full of Star Wars and Indiana Jones puree'd, then poured in to a mold from the 40's and baked in a Fleisher Superman Cartoon oven at 450 degrees for about 92 minutes till it's *just right*. It makes me want to get an X-Box just so I can play Crimson Skies, and/or start up a Crimson Skies campaign at the very least!
I can hardly wait till October 3rd, which is when my new shift starts. Having Sunday and Monday off PLUS gettng off work at a normal hour like 7:30 is going to open up my life like you wouldn't believe! I'm already planning for Monday nights to be "Game Night" at our house in one way or another.
My Dad took a stress test at the hospital this week and he failed. He either (a) has asthma, or (b) his heart is dieing a little bit at a time. How the heck does a doctor come right out and tell you something like that? "Looks like your heart is dieing a little bit at a time... dieing, dieng, dead... or, alternately, it might just be asthma. Or a dead heart. Probably asthma, though. But still, DEAD HEART! Little bit at a time!"
khristle and I have recently discovered an energy drink called "Rip It". Sugar-free, zero carbohydrates, and cram-packed with stimulants. It makes being awake nearly bearable!
