Movie review: After the Sunset

Thumbs down.

Two very attractive but untalented actors (Pierce Brosnan and Selma Hayek) are "retired" jewel theives on a tropical island.  Of course, Pierce Brosnan gets stir crazy; he needs to steal things to be happy.  He doesn't like other people and has no hobbies, and yet Selma Hayek (who presumably got half the money) loves him.

Mix in a crazy FBI agent who's after Pierce but ends up befriending him (and gets his own love interest because hey, this is Jamaica).

Apple Sucks

Apple is the new Evil Empire, just as bad as Microsoft, only with a smiley face. At least Bill Gates never pretends he's nice. I prefer my bullshit straight up, thank you.

Why do I suddenly hate Apple? Because of iTunes. It's a fantastic product, I have it running right now (although I'm actually listening to my Yahoo radio; iTunes is just sitting there). It's got some fantastic features, it's the only mainstream mp3 player that allows you to rip cd's into pure, high-quality mp3's with no copy protection, and it's so easy to use. But here are two reasons why I hate it:

"This court finds the defendant guilty."

That's what I heard yesterday when I conducted my first hearing. Actually the process got cut short because I agreed to a plea bargain, so I didn't actually get to conduct the hearing. But I had prepared my questions, got three cops lined up for testimony, and had some face time with the judge in the courtroom. Got my name on the official record.

It's colder in SF than it is in LA

The wedding yesterday was wonderful.  Rob & Laurie look very happy together.  We're happy for them.  Everyone is happy.  It's the perfect situation.  Congrats, you guys!

Yelena and I got back to SF this evening and walked in the door only a couple hours ago.  I'd better get to bed, I have to get up early for another day at the DA's office.  Rock on.
