I have just finished eating an entire pizza and I am listening to a jazz rendition of MacArthur Park (BTW, this song was written in the summer of 1967 by songwriter Jimmy Webb as part of a 22-minute cantata. Richard Harris, who "sang" the song was actually an actor, not a singer. I think he just read the lyrics with a great deal of drama). I remember watching a band called "the Family Cruze" at the Manila Holiday Inn performing this song which I thought was neat. They also tried Bohemian Rhapsody - evidently a slow night appropriate for experimentation...

Given the weather, I watched a few movies this weekend:

Red Eye: Glad I didn't pay to see this one (it was on the movie channel). Not a complete waste of time, but almost.

Office Space: I watched this one when it came out in 1999 and I liked it and always thought to watch it again some day. This is a really good, under rated movie. Anyone who has ever worked in cubicle land will instantly get this movie. Some of the best parts are in the background (like the office workers unconsciously nodding at everything the manager is saying) and some great archtypes like the mentally unstable employee, the foreign IT guy, and the "consultants". I am glad I PVR'd this one.

Revenge of the Nerds: Yeah I know, but I have such a soft spot for anything so 1980's. The movie is so bad, so predictable, so stupid! but I totally enjoyed watching it. I don't care what you think.

Kill Bill Vol.1: This is the third time I attempted to watch it and I fell asleep again! Not because the movie sucks, but because I was really tired (I also fell asleep watching the Matrix at the Glorietta 4 and we all know how cool that movie is). This movie is f*&^n amazing. One day I will actually watch it start to finish.

Go forth and prosper.
