Work went well last night, I think, considering that my back was killing me. I worked with Ruki & Bill. Bill & I actually had some fun conversation while working. The Little Caesars crowd offered me drugs I think. lol. Or maybe I was hit on. I'm not sure. lol. But the point is, my back hurt, but I made the most of my night. I went grocery shopping after work, and was exhausted by the time I got home.

Mark worked all weekend to give me my new improved blog! Thank you Mark! I was so tired & cranky after I got home last night that I found it hard to appreciate his efforts as much as I should have. I wanted to delay the exploration of his gift until I was more awake, but he obviously needed some feedback so I tried my best. He knows me pretty well, so I'm sure he understands, and knows how much I appreciate what he's done for me here. He's been talking about doing it for years now...and here it is. People can now leave comments for each entry. And I can post picture links to what I'm reading, watching or listening to. Cool, huh? ;-))

I downloaded the new L Word last night, and then dowloaded the first episode of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" which I'm hoping is good, but I don't have a lot of expectations for. But if it's good that will be a nice surprise. I wathced The L Word, which rocked, but I'm waiting to watch Terminator...not sure why. But I'll probably watch it this week sometime; possibly tonight. After The L Word, I started watching the Family Guy Blue Harvest special, but fell asleep.

I woke up around 10 or 11am. I wasn't really paying attention to the time, so I'm not sure exactly. My back feels a little bit better I think, which is great news for me. I sent some e-mails. Exchanged some myspace messages with Michael. And then I worked on my webpage for at least an hour, before reading the entertainment news, which put me in a good mood. Lots of potentially cool things brewing:

"Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins" is slated to begin production in late April. McG is directing, with Christian Bale starring as John Connor, with a hoped for release date in late Summer 2009. But there's also an animation spin-off project in the works called "Termination" which will utilize anime and animation auteurs to do individual segments inspired by the Terminator franchise, just like the Animatrix did for The Matrix films, which incidentally, I loved. A similar project is underway for Batman, though I don't know that I care.

The new Wolverine movie has new cast members. Hopefully that movie turns out well, as I love the X-Men trilogy.

The new Underworld prequel is sounding more and more interesting. I hope that one does well too, as I really enjoyed the first 2, and if the prequel does well, there is talk of a 4th that will continue where the "Underworld: Evolution" left off.

Also, there's a new rumor that the final Harry Potter book will be split into 2 movies, which would suit me fine, as long as they were released a few months apart like the Matrix sequels, and not a year apart like the Lord of the Rings.

Speaking of which, Elijah Wood has said that if it made sense, he'd be up for a cameo appearance in the 2nd of the 2 hobbit movies that they're making. The first movie will actually adapt The Hobbit to the screen, while the 2nd one (and the more interesting of the two in my opinion) will be set somewhere in the 60 years between Hobbit and Rings. Nice. :-0)

And that's the kind of entertainment news I like to read. ;-0)

Ok. I'm going to finish watching that Family Guy thing now.
