Weekend Update

Friday was a nice relaxing day, finished up SG-1 Season 3 and watched a MST3K episode (The Skydivers). emerson85 showed up, he was staying with me for part of the weekend.

Saturday was the Anti-AX BBQ, for those of us who were passively protesting not going to AX, or something like that. I’ll have pictures up later.. probably tomorrow, including some character shots taken by meowa. We watched a few movies, including Charlie’s Angels 2, which was just about the worst movie I’ve seen in a while, I actually found myself comparing it to The Skydivers, the MST3K movie I saw the day before. It was that bad.

Today was the semi-annual Netrunner day. I picked cattekin up and drove up to Moss Beach again. I did better than usual, although the highlight of the day had to be one of Mark’s kids saying to me “you’ve got a big tummy.” Ah, out of the mouths of babes.

In my playing with Friendster, I’ve discovered another phenomenon… I was looking through the Gallery, when I saw someone who looked familiar (and had a familiar name), but was using glamour shots for her photos, so I couldn’t be sure. She was someone who worked in the computer centers at Berkeley at the same time as me. Well, sure enough, one of her friends was someone else who worked with us (whom I couldn’t actually look at his profile because he was too far away in the network.) So now, we have people who I used to know but don’t anymore… but who are only three degrees of separation from me.

There’s also a few people I know are in there, but don’t know enough to call a “friend” and aren’t in my network… if I were to “friend” them, it would open up another huge chunk of the network…

Note on the current music: Time from hearing on radio for the first time to purchase in the iTunes Apple Music Store… ten minutes.
