a history of me

Now that I have so much free time I've decided I should see a lot more matinees. That plan should have started yesterday with I, Robot. I invited Dylan to come along but Dylan, like my dad, is one of those people who thinks it's silly to see movies when the weather is nice. He convinced me we should instead go to Mt. Kisco and hang out. So we did. We (along with his Freundin) ate at a restaurant of unknown Central American origin (signs indicated both Guatemala and El Salvador), had some Ben & Jerry's, and even checked out some furniture. If I weren't moving out, I might have had a use for it.

We agreed to meet later after Dylan spent time with a client. I'd offer a link, but he doesn't have a website. You see, Dylan works (occasionally) as a computer consultant. He comes to your house, hooks you up, orders parts for your machine, etc. Dylan thought a clever name for this business would be "Geeks on Wheels," as he is mobile. But a quick web search shows that a lot of other people thought it was a clever name too. So Dylan has to pick a new name or just think of a different URL.

In the interim there was a shocking surprise: I actually enjoyed Freddy vs. Jason. Seriously though, our old pal Dan appeared. Dan used to hang out with us all the time but ever since he started going to law school in Massachusetts we hardly ever see him. His sudden materialization called for a celebration. We convened at a local bar, Justin Thyme. I hate puns almost as much as I hate bars, but I did my best to blend in and enjoy myself. This blending involved drinking four Buds and an Irish Carbomb. I got pretty drunk as a result, although I've been much drunker. All it took was two Tylenol.

Today it was raining, so Dylan and I finally got to the movies. Of course, we didn't make the matinee show. More importantly, we both enjoyed the film. I have not read the original book by Isaac Asimov, but I have read a story or two featuring his famous Laws of Robotics. I'm told the movie bears little resemblance to anything he actually wrote (the credit reads "Suggested by...", but all the same I am interested in learning more about his work.
