No! Bad geek! Put the blog post draft down. It’s work time.

Good. Now back away.

Nobody needs to get hurt.

Who’s a good boy?

He piddled.

I know some great recruiting type people. Seeing lots of evidence today that they are the minority.

Listening to Sonic Youth, which is keeping me in a sort of loud good mood.

Pondering deletion of my LinkedIn profile. It mostly provides inconvenience for me and disappointment for those who try to contact me.

Listening to “Strange Brew” and now I want to watch “Strange Brew”.

Brains are funny.

A rule: friend tells me they’re going to the food bank. I don’t say “oh I was just about to go see a movie.” I say “Do you want a ride?”

Current status.

Okay now I’ll go see a movie.

And it starts on two hours. Guess I got done time to kill.

There’s a new video arcade and I swear to “Bob” it reeks of Axe spray.

Writing Perl in a coffee shop whose last decorative inspiration was Friends.

It’s a very 90s evening.

No really. I’m gonna see Chappie now.

After the previews.

And the commercials.

And whatever the heck this is. TV previews?

Subtitles for Chappie? Really?

Chappie uses vi.

Old school robot.

A thing, I think, in Chappie:

Executives white, not South African. Factory boss, white SA. Security/police chiefs, black.

Maybe not.

Yeah. I enjoyed Chappie. More than Elysium, not quite as much as District 9. I will own it. I can see why some wouldn’t enjoy it.
