Random thoughts

I'm having a quiet day today. Not too much concrete stuff to blog on, so am going to throw out a few random thoughts.

* Notice how there are a load of Big movies these days? Epic tales with heroes and villains, good vs bad. Lord of the Rings, Troy, Alexander, Van Helsing - all of them sword-in-hand save/change-the-world movies. I wonder what that says about our society today. That we're missing the days when we had a cause? That we need to refind a hero? That not enough folk see God as one and are trying to find pride/passion in an earthly one? Still mulling this.

* Just saw the Shrek2 preview. Still laughing! Unfortunately we're well behind the rest of the world for release dates, but when it hits here, I've got to take my son to watch it. I need a good laugh-till-you-cry.

* I've apparently been assimilated into the computer department, thanks to being the local WebWoman. So I get to eat out at a snazzy new restaurant with them in a few minutes. Good thing too - I'm jolly starving!

* More later...they've come for me! :)

::update::
Lunch was GREAT! We ate a lot of really, really good food and had enough left for takeaways for supper. Good company too and a superb waiter (or "waitron" as they're called these days). All their employees are certifiably nutty, madcap blokes. Gave us a good few laughs with our meal. I'll be back there! Especially as they have a reading/coffee area with a wall of books and a big-screen TV for those who just want to hang instead of eat at a table. I think I'll be dropping Dad off there while Mom and I shop later this year - it's part of the local Mall complex! :)
