It's funny, how occasionally I just feel like everything worth saying has already been said. I saw Serenity this weekend, and I liked it, and I wish that big thing X hadn't happened in such a cheap, meaningless fashion, and I wish there had been more horses, but otherwise it was fun, solid movie-making. But that's all I really have to say. Maybe it's a delayed reaction thing -- by the time I have the chance to discuss an issue, someone else I read has already done a much funnier/wiser/longer response. I can't top the dubbing of Harriet Miers as Dr. Pulaski.
My new temp job this week is pretty cool; lots of money per hour for very little work, and a fast internet connection, to boot. Dream job! Today, I've had to do some actual things, which was an interesting change from the utter lethargy of earlier in the week. But I managed to read for about an hour this morning, and I think most major tasks of the day are taken care of. Maybe now I will go to lunch. And by "go to lunch," I mean "walk to Ralph's and buy a sandwich and some cereal so that tomorrow morning I can EAT BREAKFAST before coming into work."
