Randomness Redefined

I did not mean for this to happen but somehow I ended up purchasing several things today. First up was the Serinity RPG book. I have not been a Browncoat for very less than a year but none the less I am a pretty dedicated fan. For weeks now I have been listening to my favorite Firefly/Serenity podcast and they have interviewed and discussed the Serenity RPG. As you know I am a bit of a geek so I was interested in the back story and how the inner workings of The Verse were described. I have been trying to get it for a few weeks now from my local gaming store but they have been out. On Tuesday they said that they were expecting a new shipment of the books so I didn’t have time to get there until today. Luckily they had three copies left so I snatched up one.

Later on this evening Erik and I headed out to grab a burger after work and since we were right across the street from Best Buy we thought we would head over and hang out for a bit. I looked for my cohort Zack who worked there but he wasn’t working. So I rang him up to see what was going on (he has a Razr phone so I am jealous:P). We chatted for a bit and then I went browsing the used DVD bin and found one of my favorite slapstick comedy, Clue. It was only 5 bucks so I grabbed it. Mainly, in the bins all that I could find was mainly various chick clicks which have absolutely zero appeal to me so I skipped over that hoping to find a movie that would be as enjoyable as laughing at the gags and intrigue of Clue. As I dug deeper I found another gem of a DVD at pretty much rock bottom prices!

Erik noticed that they also had a few copies of Gattaca. I have love this movie and I have seen this movie numerous times and I consider it to be a cult classic Sci-Fi film. I am probably alone in this but I think this is a pretty kick ass movie and I like it alot so I don’t really care what others may think. After all, its my money. The movie takes place far in the future and your entire life, career, mating partners, etc is determined by the DNA profile that you have on file. People with the bets genes are at the top and can do whatever they want, if you don’t have those genes your life is much different. I will not spoil the movie for you but if you are interested in this movie, head on over to the ever useful IMDB or maybe add it to your Netflix cue. Actually, has anyone used that and if so is it worth it? I cannot decide if I want to get a Netflix account or pick up a TiVO or DVR from my cable company. If you have any thoughts put up a comment.

At any rate I should get back the to 8-10 page research paper for my Writing II class on IT startup feasibility that is due on Tuesday and the 10-12 page final research paper on open source VPNs that is due after my 24th. birthday. I have to give a presentation for that as well, so I hope I don’t have to go that day as most likely I will be hung over. On another note take some time to click on the Frappr link on the right hand side and fill out the form so I can see where my readers are from. Also, I suggest using my RSS feed that has the entries in it as I am including links I find that are interesting, etc so I don’t just repost what others have done. If you have any comments, etc feel free to post a comment or email me. Take care everyone!
