New Year, New Blogger

WATCHING:
Da Vinci Code
Ron Howard, Director

Wow, did this suck! I’d heard bad things about the movie, but I thought I’d give it a shot – Howard has done some good movies (Apollo 13), and Hanks is a favorite.

And I had read the book, which – while not well-written – was a good read. Good beach book, let’s say.

But nothing compelling here at all. Even the extra disc of special stuff sucked.

Highly unrecommended.

All movies

Well, the New Year – 2007 – began a few days ago and there is a new Blogger out there – one of those rare Google products that’s out of beta. There is a new version of it that I have yet to switch over to, but I probably will be shortly.

Apologies for the lack of posts; I’ve been sick. Some sort of weird mix of a cold and flu. Lovely. I actually took a sick day (I average about one sick day every two years.) Still, with three days in the office last week, I still managed to clock almost 40 hours this week, most in the three mornings/days/nights of the three days I was at work.

Ah well, I blame this weird weather – we’re in the Chicago area, and we – on the 4th of January – have had one serious snow and no other that I can recall that required shoveling.

But global warming is just a myth…
