A Penultimate View of the World

toob and I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest last night, and I really liked it. It was fun and clever and well...exciting. The swordfights were amazing, especially the three-way between Sparrow and Turner and Norrington, and the set-up for the third movie was pretty well-done. Better than the first in almost every way! I shudder to think what daroneasa thought of the Kraken! Also, pirates arguing the etymology of a word is just a shining example of great comedic writing. :)

I had a dream last night that I got my paycheck from Bookbuyers, and it was a lot smaller than I was expecting it to be. Disappointed, I rooted around in the accompanying paperwork for an explanation and found a second check. Combined, the two was a month and a half's work; I was pretty happy. Then I got a third check that was even bigger than the other two combined. I was thinking, This has to be a mistake. I woke up just as I was about to tell my boss about it. The moral of the story? Orange juice and mouthwash don't mix. No they don't.

Oh! sailor_atma is starting up a D+D game! Hooray! I will be playing a gnome cleric, toob will be an elven ranger, and mut will be playing a human fighter full of finesse! This is inherently amusing to me. :) No word yet on possible other players, but I'm excited already.

Now, it is time for breakfast and tea.
