Recently: The Limey, Scarface, Manhunter (an old, crappy Michael Mann movie about the Hanibal Lecter saga), and the first six episodes of The Sopranos second season (had to have it: grabbed the boxed set).

Vicki visited this weekend. We had a great time and took a trip to Eureka Springs. Lots of food and drink(ing).
Last night: Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels by the guy (pun intended) who did Snatch. Solid. If you liked one, you'll like the other.

I stayed up late and updated nancy's site. Among other things, I set it up to use blogger for the news page so other band members can post news items. I'm going to add a commenting system soon (the same one that's on this blog, though I hope some of the Nancypeople, being long-winded English-major types, will actually post once in a while). I have numerous improvements to the wheatdesign site but am still working out the kinks before I upload them. Among other things, I'm adding a search engine and a random quote thingy (that's the technical term, by the way).

One film I forgot to mention in my run down of good films at the first Fayetteville Fimlfest is Dennis Courney's Araby, a short film based very closely on James Joyce's famous short story of the same name (the first story, if I'm not mistaken, in his Dubliners).

The third anual Ozark Music Awards are tonight. Nancy is nominated for three. While I was with The Tares, we won two. I'm representin' the Nancy tonight, along with our drummer, James Cohea. Wish us luck (and, damnit, nominate me for best bassist next year).

Mozilla 0.9.5 was giving me many and sundry problems on my Win98 box, so I uninstalled it and went back to using version 0.9.3. I'll give a full report sometime soon. I think 0.9.5 is a good release, and I wouldn't be suprised if the problems have to do with my box rather than the software itself.
Watched Along Came a Spider. Not bad; not great either. Fairly entertaining.
A few years ago, some people in Fayetteville organized an anual film festival, something we'd really never had before. Once in a while, there'd be a night of off beat film put on by the university (I saw three of Les Blank's films at one [The Blues According to Lighnin' Hopkins, Garlic is as Good as Ten Mothers, and Yum, Yum, Yum!]). But it was never a regular event. I went to the first festival, and it was pretty good, espeically the short films and the animated films. One of the best was When the Day Breaks (or here) by Wendy Tilby and Amanda Forbis. Another was Kimi Takesue's Rosewater (or here). (I've provided the links ito IMDB inn hopes that they will eventually have some useful information on these films. Right now, there's not much there, which is why I've provided some alternate links. You can find out more about Les Blank's films at his site).

My brother-in-law is getting married next weekend. I bought some new clothes for the event (I'm not in the wedding, per se, but I am running sound for it). It was fun to spend a little cash after being frugal for quite a long while (in everything except dining out: my greatest weakness). I also did some grocery shopping today, so there's finally something in the house to eat.
I've been working on a new site at work, which will be my first one done entirely in flash. I'm not a big fan of flash, but it's come along quite a bit. Now it can actually read in text files and do some limited XML imports and exports. So, if this trend continues, it might become a good tool for creating front ends to database-backed sites. We'll see. I mostly wanted to make sure I could keep certain parts of the site in easily-updatable text files rather than having to crank up flash every time I need to add a news item to the news page. The site itself isn't the sort of thing I'd design for myself, but my boss is fairly crazy about it so it's meeting it's primary objective. I'll have a link once it's up.
It's prime-time Saturday night and I haven't watched a single movie yet this weekend. What the hell's wrong with me? Maybe I should hit the DVD rental now so I'll have something for later (or for tomorow). Come to think of it, I also have to take some CDs back to the public library. So now I have a gameplan for the evening (not an exciting evening, I'll grant you, but mine nonetheless).
