He Bows to the Pressure

from - smijer

I'm giving in today - I'm blogging from a Krystal wireless hotspot. As you may have guessed by my lack of posts this week, I am on vacation. And, one thing led to another and I find myself doing something I never thought I'd do. From a hotel room? Maybe. But I really didn't see myself as the sort of SOB who would pull out a computer in the middle of a fast food restaraunt and start surfing the internet. I'm waiting on a car to be serviced and I don't want to go all the way home, so this is how I'm killing time. If I could log on VPN to work on my side project, I would be doing that instead of this, but the VPN is wisely configured not to work on an unsecured wireless network.

And, I'm going to watch the horrid Da Vinci Code movie today. Yes, I resisted, but I have a friend who liked the book (a), and (b), I like Tom Hanks... and, well, the Google game with its previews promising action and suspense managed to get me hooked. Maybe, if I catch up enough to do it, I'll blog all of the poor reasoning, wrong facts, and sly hoodwinks in it afterward. But probably not - I'll just be another Rube shelling out $7.50 to help Dan Brown and his Hollywood sponsors get lots of $7.50's.

I'll try to check back in later. I'm going to go kill precious time at the Barnes & Nobles now.
