Work
I've learned a great many things over the past month... "friends" at work are not neccessarily friends, people you thought were "enemies" are quite often the only ones telling you the truth, and the solid ground beneath your feet is really a tower of sand. If you give up your fate to others, you'll be ruled by them.
No longer.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
Took the boys to go and see SW: The Phantom Menace in 3-d this weekend.
I didn't like the movie much when it first came out, but sure enjoyed watching it with my boys. I discovered something: it was made for an eight year old boy. Once I decided it was more like Shrek than A New Hope, I had a great time.
The 3d transfer wasn't very good, but it was fun to watch on a big screen.

Scar Tissue
Amazing book about Anthony Keidis' life and the starting of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but ultimately weighed down by story after story of drug abuse. The first dozen are shocking, the second dozen are interesting, and after that they become... boring.
Well worth a read though.
