Saw "The Matrix Reloaded" yesterday. Very enjoyable flick I think. The first half was a little lame, too many pointless fights, the sex scene was totally contrived and out of context, and not enough mind twisting. The second half, however, totally sucked you in to get you to come back in November. I'm going to have to go back to this one first though so that I can totally understand what the Architect was talking about. The bathroom scene was hillarious (cool urinal), and the possible twist very close to the end was very thought provoking.

How's that for not giving away too much but still covering the whole movie? Make sure that you don't drink too much pop, or you'll have to pee after the first hour and a bit and miss the start of the good stuff.

I wonder what it would be like to live in a society where all the women wore skimpy white shirts and no bras? The guys do too, but for me the effect isn't the same.

Good movie, I highly recommend it, just don't expect it to be the same as the first one.

I turned 35 the other day...yup...35... It's amazing how it doesn't seem all that old anymore.

Oh, well. Decided that I should get back to this again, so here I am. I can hear the cheers around the world.

I was walking back to the office a little while ago, and I saw a guy talking to a girl. Nothing unusual about that, but he was doing the imaginary golf swing thing. You know, where someone holds their hands like they have a golf club and then they take a swing?
I've seen people do that before, but this time it sort of hit me that this is an absolutely rediculous thing to be doing. Usually people do things while they're talking, absentmindedly, without realizing that they're doing it. Like playing with keys, or the change in their pocket etc. Is this what golf-swing guy was doing? Is it that he golfs sooo much, that out of habit he just goes into golf-swing mode when his hands have nothing to do? If that's the case, my hands should just start typing an imaginary keyboard, because that the thing I do most. But they don't.
That leaves me with one conclusion; he was doing it to show off. Did it impress the girl? I hope not.
