squamousPresided over another lazy Sunday here. I am so good at whiling away time at the computer. LiveJournal helps.
Once that important work was done, I went to Jim and Jes' house for dinner. I hung out with Jim in his office and he showed me the Age of Mythology computer game. It looked really good, very fine graphics, and I sort of mean that literally - the graphics had this 'delicate' look to them.
After that we watched an episode of Penn & Teller's "Bullshit!" that they had TiVo'd (but hadn't watched yet). This one was on the modern environmentalist movement. I liked the show quite a bit. I need to watch the tape thatpaulcurtis very nicely sent me. I keep meaning to watch it at Mike's, since I know he wants to see it too, but time has flown by and it hasn't happened. I should dig out the VCR here and hook it up. The environmental activists had a predictably rough time at the hands of Penn & Teller. Is Penn a Libertarian...? I did think some very good points were made though. The one that stuck with me was the opinion that a lot of activists are motivated from a deep sense of guilt. That made a lot of sense to me. I actually had my own theory based on some of the activist types that I have known, but I am no good at articulating those suspicions.
Tomorrow, back to the routine. I really need to get some cleaning done around this place, but it looks like that will wait til next weekend now. Yes, don't I live a fine life? The cleaning? It can 'just wait'.
