yendiOver the weekend, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sweinberg did painstaking research examine nearly every "worst movies of 2004" list, and the scientific proof is irrefutable: Van Helsing is the worst movie of the year. I told you that back in May.
(Oh, and Scott wasn't biased in his research -- VH is only #10 on his "worst" list.
sterlingnorth points to this nifty essay that Dwayne McDuffie wrote back in 2000 on finding out that Clarence Thomas was a fan of Icon. Quite amusing, especially if you're familiar with the character (Icon, not Thomas).
One other purchase this weekend: More bulk rabbit-fur mice for the cats. Fuck all the expensive toys. Nothing gets Jack (and even Max, on those occasions when he decides to move his ass) more excited than getting to play with one of these. And watching the cats go insane provides hours of amusement value for us. :-)
Work's getting hella busy again. It's exacerbated by a co-worker who has been Peter Principled at least two levels beyond his level of incompetence.
Finally, a campus dining update: They opened Cox (the main dining area near me), but over half of the individual stations (BK, Sushi, Italian food, fruit bar) were closed, while the remaining ones (salad bar, sandwich and soup, etc) were only about half stocked. Glad to know how much we staff-folk matter around here.
