hates the internet

Coming up on a year ago, I migrated Hates The Internet from Wordpress to Drupal and, to be honest, kind of forgot about it for a while. I always meant to pop in and do a little rearranging, but could never seem to find the time.

That's right, John Cusack, after many years and many more enjoyable movies and memorable characters, your latest cinematic outing severely disappointed me.  You were the king of awesome until @theguelphgirl made me watch Hot Tub Time Machine.

For the past month or so, I’ve been in bad want of a new phone.  There’s nothing wrong with my Blackberry a new battery wouldn’t fix, but I’m sick of looking at it.

It might’ve escaped your attention, but things are looking a little different around here these days.  After having Drupal on the back burner the past little while, I decided it was time to flick the switch and just be done with it.

So it was a banner today in the old Powell/McEwan household.  What started off looking like just another Monday soon took a turn for the awesome as I ended the day gaining not just one, but two new pets.

So lately I've had a bug up my ass to watch a movie from 1998 called Strike! which focuses on a group of girls at a private school trying to keep their girls-only school girls-only.

Today's comment of the day was found on OSNews, a site that's number 3 in my lunchtime ritual (behind Facebook and TheDailyWTF).

For those who haven't noticed, I've been on a little bit of an Alice (Through the Looking Glass|In Wonderland) kick recently, owning mostly to the undoubtedly mind-blowing Tim Burton enterprise looming on the horizon.

So this weekend I let @theguelphgirl drag me to the local movie house to watch a film based on a cheerily dark little tale she'd read not too long ago.  This sad little tome bore the title The Lovely Bones and, I've been assured often enough to be curious, the book is better.

Despite my best efforts, I constantly find myself with a few extra CPU cycles in my brain to rub together, and more often than not what falls out is some ridiculous attempt to bring severely obsolete technology into the modern world.
