I helped out at a Retiree Appreciation day on Saturday. Sunday we went with some friends for a meal at Logans and then a movie. I only had a salad there so that I could fill up on popcorn at the movie. We watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I enjoyed the movie, but the normal theater distractions were in full effect. Cell phones going off, kids talking. A Couple times the staff of the theater had to come in and quiet people down by threatening to have them removed. This would have been a good film to see for the first time on DVD in my home. I really enjoyed it, and it was pretty freaky (scary) in a few parts. Quite a few people screamed during the movie. Read this past blog for my opinions on theaters. One thing to keep in mind if you go see it – it’s not a movie like the Exorcist, it’s a movie about a trial, and during the trial there are flashbacks to what happened.<\/p>\n
We picked up a large Hamilton-Beach food processor. I’ll be using that to make some salsa.<\/p>\n
The president has chosen his replacement for O’Connor. Thing is, she has no experience as being a judge. Well, that’s one of his jobs – to pick the judges. I don’t know about you, but if I’m going to hire a mechanic, he better have some experience, no?<\/p>\n
In the Mac universe, Apple is apparently getting rid of excess inventory by secretly upgrading the Mac Min<\/a>i. There doesn’t seem to be any way to tell by the packaging if you are getting one of these treats, but many people have reported it already – memory boosts, increased CPU speed. It’s like buying a 110 piece tool set but when you get home and open it, you get the 150 one instead. Sweet!<\/p>\n
