A few things at random

apocalypsos-- I worked overtime today but bounced early due to having one hell of a headache. I really think it's due to needing to get new glasses, because it feels like I'm getting eyestrain from staring at the computer all day long and it's only better when I take my glasses off.
-- I'm currently practicing with the onscreen keyboard on the netbook. It's hard if only because I type more by feel than by sight. I think I'm getting used to it, though.
-- The Golden Globes are tomorrow! This year's nominations are a bit goofy and questionable, but STILL. Speaking of:
Toy Story 3: Is it blasphemous for me to say it wasn't doing much for me until the last fifteen minutes or so? The scene in the lawn redeemed the rest of the movie for me, which up until that point was merely okay. Granted, okay for Pixar is still fifty times better than the best efforts by most of the rest of Hollywood, but still.
The Fighter: I'm still in the middle of this, but one thing I will say is that I normally don't like Mark Wahlberg but he's incredibly good in this. I don't think he's going to win on Sunday or on Oscar Sunday, because I'm sure he'll get a Best Actor nom for this, but he does a wonderful job. That said, I really think this is Christian Bale's Oscar-winning role. You can say that about the quality of most of his roles, but there's something about Dicky Ecklund that's a level above. Also, Melissa Leo as their mom is hilariously rough and tough.
-- I need to write this weekend. Ugh, I've only got this weekend and then school starts and that's just more of my free time sucked away.
