Sep. 3rd, 2013 10:04 pmThough, first, your BTTF Quote of the Day:
Doc Brown: It'll shoot the fleas off a dog's back at 500 yards, Tannen -- and it's pointed straight at your head!
Bad. Ass. :D I love that part, I really do.
Anyway, today has not been a good day for internet things, or any computer things really. Why? Two main reasons:
A) I spent the morning at the local NeworkRI center setting up a profile, noting my job skills, setting up alerts for possible jobs I could take, and things like that. I've got a list of employment agencies to check out too, and an official Certificate of Proficiency for my typing speed (I type 54 words per minute, by the by.) The lady there was very nice, and hopefully this will help me a lot with my job prospects. I do still have a little buffer cash, but something that pays would be very helpful.
B) I spent the afternoon dusting my shelves, rearranging my toys, and watching ParaNorman on Netflix because IT WOULD NOT STOP THUNDERSTORMING. Seriously -- from about 1 to 6, it was thundering and lightning, with periods of very heavy rain. I believe they even got hail down near Block Island. Crazy stuff! And frustrating too, since I did have other shit I wanted to get done today. >.< Then again, being as I got the red curse last night, it's not like my concentration levels are particularly high. Mrrrgh.
Oh, thoughts on ParaNorman? Rightfully praised for its special-effects prowess (made by the same company responsible for Coraline, and it shows), good story with good morals, amusing-quirky characters -- but I dunno, it just didn't hit the same notes for me as Coraline or Corpse Bride did. I guess I would have appreciated a little more Norman talking to ghosts before everything went pear-shaped -- the very beginning felt slightly rushed. And I honestly didn't find a lot of the characters all that pleasant to look at. It wasn't a bad movie, it's just not likely to become one I'd go back to time and time again. (Though, really, those glowing effects for the witch were pretty damn cool. :D)
Add in watching my chunk of BTTF over lunch and dinner with the family shortly after the thunderstorms finally let, and -- yeah, been kind of an off day for online stuff. Er, pun not intended. :P Still, there's a few things I ought to catch up on, so later!
