Dumb but occasionally amusing

wombat_sochoA couple weeks ago I bought a DVD three-pack containing the wretched Starship Trooper movies, and tonight I watched the first one. This time I knew it had nothing in common with the book except for some characters having the same names and a very vague similarity in plot. Very, very vague. I'd forgotten a lot of the movie, probably because it was mostly cringe (especially the battle scenes, which could have been switched with the ones in 300, allowing for some costume changes) and omitted a lot of the scenes in the book that would have made it flow better and make more sense...to say nothing of the powered armor. Well, other people have trashed the movie at greater length and detail so I don't have to. Tomorrow, Hero of the Federation. Maybe it won't suck as bad, but I have my doubts.
I also downloaded DOOM, which took forever, and I'm wondering if I should reset the graphics because it runs slow as fuck. Felt like I was moving in slow motion.
Aside from that, I dropped two out of three to the Giants this afternoon, and am thinking I'll be lucky to make the playoffs since I'm starting 4-5. The Angels are next up on Tuesday.
Did the usual pizza lunch today, cleaned out the mailbox, which had nothing of great importance, and spent ~$40 on tea, Kleenex, cup ramen, English muffins, and some other stuff (like remaindered almond butter) which should keep me from having to buy any more food (except maybe for tea and bread) before I get called up to Reno.
