So here’s this thing about actor David Schwimmer. He’s played the character of Ross on Friends for 10 years now, and has done little else. I can’t help but feel that he not be allowed to make the occasional film diversion that he’s been known to take. He is Ross. When he plays the wimpy boyfriend in Six Days, Seven Nights… he is Ross. When he plays the asshole drill sergeant in Band of Brothers, he is (mean) Ross. I’m sorry… I just can’t see him any other way. I think he should just take his $1 million plus he gets for EACH Friends episode he does, and be happy. And he should get a decent investment plan, because he’s finished after this next (last) season of Friends.

WSB 2k3
Heard while playing World Series Baseball 2003 on Xbox:
Announcer 1: “He just creamed that ball! Anything that goes that far should have a stewardess on board.”
Announcer 2: “You should probably say ‘flight attendant’ nowadays.”
Nothing like a little P.C. banter in a video game.
KOTOR
So. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) rules. Any game where you can talk down to a janitor and eagerly ask for information from a man yelling on a street corner about how the planet is infested with outsiders and use the force to ask for 150% of your money back when your newly bought droid breaks… is an awesome game. Plus, you can do things like pretend to have short term memory loss. You know… talk to someone, ask them their name, get to know them, be suddenly very rude to them, then come back a minute later and ask them what their name is and if they’ll answer a few questions you have about their home planet. They get all pissed off and are like “I told you my name? You are a disturbed person. Next time your toilet overflows don’t bother asking for help from THIS janitor.” Ahh… a world with consequences, yet free of restraint.
Movie Database
I was bored. So I decided to make a database of all my movies. You can go look at it in the links section. So now I don’t have to type out the list for someone who wants me to bring my suh-weet Xbox over for movie night. That means you, Rachel, and you David and Stephen. If only I didn’t feel compulsed to answer the question “what movies do you have?” I can’t stop halfway through. Even is Rachel is saying “you can stop anytime… any one of the three I mentioned is good”, I must persist in my diligent spouting of data. So instead of address my raging obsessive compulsive behavior by taking little steps (like trying to list all but 2 of the movies I have), I have found a cure… a website that does it for me. I’m a dork, I’m a little bit crazy, but dammit… people like me anyway. I just made another 4 cups of coffee. Yes, “another” as in “this will make 8 in a one hour time frame.” I’m gonna go do something worthwhile.
Quote of the day: “I know I fell asleep for the last half hour… but I still LOVED that movie.” – Rachel (about One Hour Photo… of which she missed the creepiest line of the movie, the climax, and the resolution… but she still loved it :-D)
