Sunday was spent in San Francisco with Matt and "the girlfriend." We had a very nice day wondering around in the wake of the big protest. We found ourself in chinatown which was exceptionally exciting for me as I had never ventured there before.

Dinner at the Stinking Rose and drinks at some bar on the top floor of the Bank or America building. The view was pretty friggin cool. Monday we decided that we needed some shlocky cinema and saw Daredevil. It was better than I expected. Cool fights, cool sound design, really bad dialog. But the REALLY exciting thing was getting to see the trailers for X-Men 2 and LXG. X-Men 2 looks really cool. Nightcrawler's "BANF" effect looks killer, and the more Ian MacKellen the better in my book. But LXG was the most interesting. For those not "in the know" LXG is "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" adaptation starting Mr Shawn Connery. But I guess the Hollywood marketing dudes decided that no-one was going to see a Comic-book movie about a Victorian super-group in a year of Hulks, mutants, and blind ninjas. SO they "extreme-ifyed" the Alan More comic and came up with LXG. The trailer is all fast cars (fast cars?! WTF?) and machine-guns. I must say it looked like it will ROCK your SOCKS. But I'm nearly positive it is going to suck. If your interested, you can watch it here.

The other big news item of the weekend is the Google buyout of Blogger. I'd link to some articles about it, but Boing-Boing is down, and that is where the links are. SO just got there and look. I'm not quite sure how this is going to effect the "Blogosphere", but I am still determined to move Octopushat over to another server and start using Movable-Type, Grey-Matter, Blosxom, or some other "respectable" blogging software. I also spent WAY too much money on a new Cellphone. The Sony-Ericsson T68i. A super-phone with bluetooth, and a color screen, and a nifty camera attachment. Cool shit.
