Despite my lingering head cold, it was a fun and active weekend. Saturday evening, I had some friends over to watch Dark Star, John Carpenter's first film (it started out as his film-school project before being remade as a feature film). Dark Star is a wonderfully bleak comedy about four bitter, bored astronauts who've spent far too many years cooped up together in a malfunctioning starship. I'm not going to drop any spoilers, but any amateur (or professional) philosophers among my readers must see this movie.
The on Sunday I headed up to LVX to celebrate Mass with the lovely ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
ardras156 . Attendance was light, but I was in the mood for a cozy little Mass, so that worked out nicely. And the ceremony itself was wonderful -- it was the first time she and I had worked together, after about a year of meaning to do so, and the wait was well worth it. I even forgot I had a cold for that hour.
Now I need to turn my attention to preparing for Kaaba in Ogden this coming weekend. I could use some rest, but that seems not to be in the cards. Ah, well, at least I don't get bored. :)

Echoing the previous comment about the bomb with an attitude: Do we *really* want artificial intelligence? What if when you hit ctrl-alt-del the computer came back and said "dude, this didn't work last time, can you knock it off now?"

A film I only knew via infamous reputation as a kid and Alan Dean Foster's adapation, whic was actually a whole lot better than the flick. And the foto-inset in that adapation was better than the movie!
Rest is for the exhausted
