Today, Reba and I got up late, had brekke with Shelby, and went to the movies. We saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3. What a piece of crap. I can't believe they had all that money, and all that talent, and put together such a shitty movie. The other two were silly action movies, but they had decent enough stories, and were funny enough, at least for what they were. This one was simply way too much reliance on special effects and absolutely zero in terms of engaging plot. I just didn't care what happened to anyone in the movie. AND, it was confusing! The double crossing got so involved that at some point I just gave up following it. I don't think even the writers could tell you exactly what was going on... sort of like the X-files used to be: just pointedly confusing simply so it seem mysterious. Or something. Anyway, it was nice to sit in a theatre and hold hands with Reba and eat popcorn without stressing about some paper that's coming due. Later, we split a pizza at Gino's (an actually good restaurant in Oxford) and came home. I've been downloading reading and course materials from this term... my goal is to get the whole year worth of readings, notes, slides, handouts, etc., all onto one memory stick. That way I have the who thing at my fingertips if I need it. That will be cool. Just getting all the financial history readings took several hours... over 75 articles, some in excess of 70 pages long! I can't believe he expected us to read all of that. Sheesh. So far, I have all the materials from customer insights, entrepreneurial technology ventures, financial history, and media strategies for the networked world. I've got 20 more courses I took, and then about 5 that I didn't, that I need to get. This will take a while! Tomorrow Ethan and Eban get into town, and we're going out for drinks with Sally. That should be interesting.
me, reebs and julia out at the king's arms saturday night
