22:06 <@ejp> huh
22:07 <@ejp> that sucked.
22:08 < solios> yes, well.
22:15 <@ejp> I mean, well produced and CGed and such.
22:15 <@ejp> but a) Cruise. b) the humans win. stupid story.
22:15 < solios> mostly the b.
22:16 < solios> though hollywoodwise, the a is a clear loser.

Week in review:

[+] Extended fathers-day phoner with the MPU.
[+] Mom brough Jen back down to civlization on Monday (27.0000) and stuck around for dinner (Fuel & Fuddle) and ice cream (Dave & Andy's*). Good stuff, and made up for the freakout I had around the same time last year.
[-] The power company final noticed me right after said dinner. Annoyance.
[+] The 12" powerbook I bought (am buying, in installments) from rjbs showed up on Wednesday. Beautiful machine.
[+] Watched all of Blakes 7 season 4. The ending is one of the best ever.
[+] Got a space race victory (as the Americans) in Civ3 on the new powerbook. 2011, a few turns before knocking out the Manhattan Project. Great ending cinematic.
[+] Finished Chapter Five of ATC. \o/ Only eighty or so pages left.
[+] The discovery of Powerbook has rendered iBook obsolete. Machine tweaked a bit, updated, and handed over to Jen. She's already getting a ton of mileage out of the thing (lately as a DVD player).
[+] New boots from the MPU. Mail attempt on Thursday, couldn't make the post office on Friday or Saturday, picked 'em up today - dropped them off at home, still need to try them out.

* On rjbs' recommendation. I give it a five out of five.

Jen's first night - post-80's night with season one of Tour Of Duty on my dad's old (newly revitalized) iMac. W00tz0r.

the_argon nails it in this Appletalk Australia post.

And the slot-loading iMacs have this weird little rubber boot/glove on their hard drives. o_o
