Today I went to the National Aquarium and learned that you can't tell the aquarium workers you'd like the spiny lobster and ask where they keep the butter sauce regardless of the fact that the place looks like a cheap basement seafood place.

Also went to Air & Space Museum. Guess what? They have planes. I hate planes. I suppose I would have liked it more if it weren't for the fact that the only time I'm the least bit interested (and not astoundingly afraid) in planes is if they're in smoldering heaps and terrified people are running out of them. (Yes, I'm twisted, but you knew that.)

You know what this place needs? A Shipwreck & Submarine museum. I'd be all over that action. Gimme a U-boat and some pieces of the Titanic and I'd be in maritime-history-geek heaven.

*dies laughing* You know you might be a wee bit buzzed when your MSN Messenger pops up in the corner of your screen and says, "You have an email message from Apple," and your first thought is, "Gwyneth's kid is emailing already?!"

Why didn't anybody tell me Bartles & Jaymes Strawberry Daquiri drinks tasted like strawberry soda?! Shame on all of you!

Well, anyway, sleepyaardvark and I got into a discussion about war movies, and I got talked into writing up a short list of my favorite war movies. Notice I didn't say the best, as some of these are frankly guilty pleasures. And there are some really great movies missing from this list, but I didn't feel right listing movies I haven't seen, which is why Platoon, Patton, and Apocalypse Now aren't on the list. (And Patton, I have on DVD. Now there's some guilt for you.)

Anyway, here goes, in alphabetical order ... ( The Twenty War Movies I Cannot Be Expected to Live Without )

Hee. That was fun. Maybe I should do another list. (Yeah, like I don't have enough writing to catch up on.)

*snerk*

I was cleaning files out of my documents and found this file with all these quotes I saved and never got around to putting up on a webpage. ('Cause I know some of you guys have pages like that and I've always wanted to do it, but I keep forgetting.)

So, might as well dump 'em ( here. )
