It's been another really fun weekend, even though this one was spent in Gainesville. Friday I saw The Incredibles again, which is one of my favorite Pixar films (though Toy Story is still the best). Then I went to a bowling alley to sing a stirring rendition of The Foundations - "Build Me Up Buttercup" at karoke night. Saturday I went to the annual swing dance that the Honors organization throws, and swinged (swung?) for a few hours. It's always fun, and I'm slowly getting better even though I go to lessons way too sporadically to become really good. Afterwards was even more "dancing" though this time it was at some rap club, hence why dancing it's quotes since it's more like bouncing/shaking to the bass line. Actually since I have cool friends some real dancing was done, so it was actually fun. After about 6 hours of moving though through the evening, I was just a little exhausted. Then tonight I went to see the Aquila Theatre Company put on Shakespeare's 12th Night. I had seen them last year perform A Midsummer's Night Dream, and they didn't disappoint again. They put their own spin on it, keeping the dialogue the same, but emphasising the comedy through outrageous costumes and exaggerated gestures and props. And they used techno music to switch between the scenes. Techno and Shakespeare, it was awesome!
Some pictures recently released show that should the software business not have panned out, Bill Gates would still have a career as a model.
Once again it amuses me to no end that half the nation thinks Bush is a uniter while half thinks he's a divider. I think the poll results tell you which side is correct.
Do you way awake at night wondering where you fit in on the grand scheme of geekdom? Wonder no more! Let the The Geek Heirarchy chart let you know how you stand in relationship to other nerds in the world. I'm at the top of the chart, and am less geeky than roleplayers or trekkies. Well that's a relief.
