This can usually be found on Twitter.
... is on the television screen, and although they just did the "front two lines of the phalanx runs out, kills soldier after soldier, then wanders back later when they need to get back into formation", it's still a fantastic movie, and I'm glad I saw it on the big screen. Gladness! Tomorrow (or sometime this week), I'll be seeing "Assassination of Jesse James", and perhaps becoming very unhappy that I didn't see it on the big screen. So it goes.
Still, for now: Xerxes just showed up (man, that's a cool voice), and although the television ghosts hide all the gory bits, there's still tons of fan to be had (sequence of war rhinoceros being disabled into the ground at the Spartan's feet).
What else is there to do? At the moment, precious little; but you never know when something will pop up out of the woodwork.

A vague list
I paid mucho mucho money for .Mac, and promptly felt very guilty. I'm not going to pull the move-all-my-money-out-of-my-account-before-they-debit trick this time, though, I have to stop making spontaneous online purchases with the power of my mind. Was very disappointed that I could publish my calendar but not make it private. Anyway, it came in use with an hour, because of me sending TaxonDNA somewhere by e-mail (just under 800kb), and Gmail refused to send such nonsense (probably because it contained an executable, not because it was too big), but .Mac was happy to do it. I guess it's nice having paid-for e-mail again, after years of free e-mail :).
Of course, if iWeb is nice and I finally move my blog off Blogger ... well!
Okay, doesn't have anything to do with anything, but I always thought that Wallace Line was creepily cool. Now: on to tomorrow!

So, there ends the weekend which was not a weekend. As a way to start the next week, I woke up (after re-sleeping, then having a really weird dream about packing to return to Singapore - from Manek? - and, later, two charging elephants) - I wake up at 10:45, which is pretty much the earliest I can wake up and not have time for breakfast.
As an aside, in case you are not one with the Twitter, the weekend which was not a weekend was not a weekend because of a illness which struck me down pretty much exactly on Friday evening, then let go of me around Monday ("three day weekend") afternoon. Extraordinarily boring, and - initially - somewhat painful, but there you go. My upsides are still clogged with goo - ugh! - but everything's a whole lot better than it was, and I expect all symptoms to vanish (except maybe for mornings) by tomorrow or the day after.
The other reason for making this post - apart from solidifying much anti-rhinovirus rhetoric and complaining about a lack of breakfast options today - was to make a mental note of how disturbing - both in language and deed - are these two very disturbing (but completely unrelated) cases. So much for right-to-speech (as always, subsection 2 bites us where the sun don't shine).
On a cheerier note: there have been some fantastic LOLcats on ICHCB lately. Including: that is not right, Right around the next corner NO NOT LIKE THAT NO STOP, (average) *Caught*, Oh my, the religious cameleopard, and - the pièce de résistance - Cat in repose in other's bed.
Let's hope things pep up at work somewhat. Otherwise: another day, another week! Luckily, a shorter one than usual.

"A beach house," he said, "doesn't even have to be on the beach. Though the best ones are. We all like to congregate," he went on, "at boundary conditions". "Really?" said Arthur. "Where land meets water. Where earth meets air. Where body meets mind. Where space meets time. We like to be on one side, and look at the other."
