After an off-and-on arguement with my computer about connecting to the wireless internet here, it seems that Pug has finally got the upper hand. Hurrah!

The end of my list from yesterday is a truly bizzare collection of films. In no particular order: real penguins, allegorical death, and moving castles.

What? Have I suddenly overcome my family’s seemingly chronic case of being cinema-challenged? Well, only if you don’t expect me to be up-to-date.

In the last, oh, year or so, my dad has joined the ranks of Netflicks customers (you know, the annoying red Flash ads?). I forgive them the ads, actually — for one, I don’t see them on my machine because Adblock gives me power over my world — but also because the service seems to be very prompt and well organized.

At any rate, there is always a movie around or one on the way these days, so we feel we are becoming most educated. (Or at least we might get a few Jeopardy questions — another current addiction.) The June line-up has included Mel Brooks, crossdressing, solitaire, apes, rockets, and genetic profiling.

Well, Sunday I migrate to my second home of the summer to start my next internship adventure.  Time at home has not generated a great many posts, despite all this supposed free time!  It quickly became pool time, movie time, sorting time, and (very importantly) dinner time.  So you see, not terribly newsworthy, but entirely worthwhile.  I might put up a few movie reviews, though.
