I'm a little behind on movies again, and I blame the USPS.

They’re taking the day off today, the bastards. So it’s going to take longer than usual to get my next movies.

I got Hot Fuzz, which was good. I’m a little worried about those guys, though. I’m afraid they might run out of good and turn into those Scary Teen Date Movie types.

I also got Ghost Rider, but I OnDemanded Farce of the Penguins before watching that. I don’t know why I did that. Maybe because Bob Saget is a sick person. That kinda prepared me for Ghost Rider, I think. And for my current rewatching of Mars Attacks.

I heard a lot of complaints about Ghost Rider — about how Nick Cage ruined it all. I suspected that it wasn’t Cage’s fault, but the fact that it was another comicbook movie.

I think I was right about that.

I’m not from Tech Support.

No, I’m really not. I don’t work for Adobe/Macromedia, BradyGames, Comcast, Cafepress, DirecTV, Dreamhost, EBGamestop, Gamefaqs, Gateway, Google, HP, Microsoft, Myspace, Prima, Qwest, Sony, Toshiba or any other company that makes things that you might be having trouble with.

I am not the HelpDesk. The HelpDesk is not here. The HelpDesk never was here. I don’t even have a fucking desk, okay? See? NO DESK HERE. My monitor is currently sitting on top of my tower, and my keyboard is on the floor. Sorta. It’s more like…on this funny angle at the side of this big comfy chair, but it’s partly on the floor. NO DESK. Ergo, no HELPDESK. The HelpDesk is on the other side of the planet somewhere, where they do not speak American anywhere near as fluently as I do.

I suppose that’s why people keep coming to me. That, and I keep letting people get away with ‘hey, thanks,’ and ‘I owe you.’ The great, worthless and intangible gratitude.

The GoBible

I just went out to get the mail, which happened to include my somewhat-regular bit of junkmail from Tuesday Morning. One of the items going on sale at some point on some Tuesday is the GoBible. An MP3 player preloaded with THE BIBLE!

The website lists it for $100. Ish. Tuesday Morning will have it for 30 or 40. And for those of us who already have mp3 players, or cd players that can read mp3s burned to disc, or WinAmp, librivox probably has it for free.
