Yesterday (Friday) I took Carrie to work and then spent the rest of the morning doing trickly programming about discounting bulk prices. It was fun, but my bwain huwt aftewewds.
Carrie didn't get off for lunch until 2:00-ish. After I took her back I went straight to the store and bought those fancy curly lightbulbs and butter and dishwashing soap. Yum-yum, dinner's gonna be good tonight! I changed the lightbulb outside on the front porch. Carrie called me very shortly after I got home saying she was off early. It was only like 3:15-ish! I believe we played some Mario Kart as soon as she got home.
Anyhoo, she had a fun evening planned with Christine & Steph. In fact, she was gone from like 5:30 until 12:30 AM.
I made a steak wrapped around blue cheese for din-dins. I slow-cooked it in the oven so all the fat melted all over it and it was juicy and good and holy-crap I'm gonna have a heart attack.
I did a bunches of dishes while Carrie was gone and watched many "scary" movies on the Sci-Fi channel, including such hits as (the last half of) Day of the Dead and Resident Evil. Oh, my God, the computer effects in that movie are for s--t! They seriously look as good as (not better than) the effects from the first Mortal Kombat movie. Y'know, the one that was made ten years ago. Every time that big mutant thing was on screen in Resident Evil I just kept thinking to myself, "I can't believe this is what actually appeared on screen! Didn't anybody watch this before it was released?" That and the movie isn't really very good. Although I did like that the first third of it was like a "killer AI" movie, and then the second third was a typical "zombie" movie, and the last third was a "killer monster on the loose" movie.
Before Resident Evil they played Route 666, which I had read about at Unknown Movies long ago. It had the problem of using that fake, choppy slo-mo effect that always looks horrible. I really liked the zombie makeup, though. And the performances were actually all really good.
After Resident Evil they played some crappy low-budget recent thing about Day of the Dead. Jeffrey Combs was in the opening, but then it jumped ahead in time fifty years for the rest of the movie, so I quickly lost interest.
I was still awake when Carrie came home. I was looking up stuff about Spring-Heeled Jack on Wikipedia. Funny stuff, that was.
