That's why we only work when we need the money.
Y'know, I'm starting to think the whole tag week thing was the worst thing I could have done to this blog. I set everyone's expectations of regular posting too high, and now I'm crushing them by only posting twice a week. That is, if you care all that much. If you do, well, I apologize to you for ruining your workday time waster. If you don't care... Well, you suck. But keep visiting! Please!
It's been a busy weekend. Lots of socialization mixed with heavy amounts of laying around and doing nothing. The plan was to do my taxes, but it appears that plan will have to wait until next weekend since a nap appealed to me more. Among other much more enjoyable social activities. Such is life.
I did see V For Vendetta on Friday night. Still working on the full review, but let's just say I really, really liked it, even if it had all the subtlety of a Jack Bauer interrogation. I'm going to go out on a limb and call it the next Fight Club, since it's a very polarizing film -- people are either going to love it to death or hate it with every fiber of their being. And it's not just their political stance that will determine that, but a lot of the techniques used in the film will rub many the wrong way. I see the same cult fan base developing around it... But that's a much longer post for another time. A time that is not Sunday night before a big work day.
When will that post (that Melissa will never read) arrive? Well, let's look into the Maki Magic 8-Ball to find our answers!
Maki: Magic 8-Ball, will I be working an incredibly long day on Monday?
Magic 8-Ball: It is certain
Maki: Magic 8-Ball, will I make it home in time for 24 tomorrow?
Magic 8-Ball: Don't count on it
Maki: Magic 8-Ball, will I have to work a 15-hour day on Tuesday?
Magic 8-Ball: Signs point to yes
Maki: Magic 8-Ball, will clients give me trouble approving the project on Wednesday?
Magic 8-Ball: It is certain
Maki: Magic 8-Ball, will I make it to our dodgeball playoff game at 7pm on Wednesday?
Magic 8-Ball: Reply hazy, try again
Maki: Are the salespeople, managers, printers and clients conspiring to drive me insane with what they're doing to me this week?
Magic 8-Ball: Better not tell you now
Maki: Magic 8-Ball, will I be posting my V For Vendetta review some time this week?
Magic 8-Ball: Concentrate and ask again
Maki: Magic 8-Ball, is my life pain?
Magic 8-Ball: Yes, definitely
Y'know, I was doing so well without the song references as titles and now the past two have me right back in that old habit. And they're even by the same band. Dammit.

My main motivation for seeing V for Vendetta is John Hurt. After seeing him as the dead perfect embodiment of Winston Smith in 1984, it's great ironic casting for him to be playing a "Big Brother" in this new distopia.
No more threesomes for Maki until the movie review is done... right Katie??
Hopefully you don't end with five 3rd basemen and like seven catchers tonight.
Sucks you gotta be at work.
We should probably have seen like ten movies during our Break since the weather in Rhode Island was enough to drive everyone indoors.
Yeah! What Tracy said!
I'm eagerly anticipating this review so I don't feel obligated to do one of my own.
Yeah! What Melis said!
Actually I though Tag Week proved how inane and stupid your blog becomes when you post every day, but maybe I was the only one, as is often the case.
Alonzo Mosley (FBI): He is quite good in it, though most of his performance is only his face.
Tracy: I'd better get to writing...
Melis: I don't post details about that stuff. My blog isn't anonymous, you know...
Mark: I think I did alright. Still amazed I made it home in time.
Katie: Are you expecting to agree with me on every point? Because that's really wishful thinking, y'know.
Tom: As if my blog isn't inane and stupid when I'm only posting twice a week. I hear it makes for a good diversion at work if you decide to read the entire thing in a day. Though it's really only designed for 5-minute intervals. Unless I write really long about something. Um, yeah.
No, I don't expect to agree, but I think you'll pretty much cover all the bases in a much funnier and articulate way.
Tracy's Review:
I liked it. It was good. It made me think. And it made me cry. Then it was over.
The end.
All that... and I saw it twice.
I won't see anything with a pretty actress who makes herself ugly for a role. It's a sacrifice that just shouldn't be made. I go to movies to see pretty people. Movies on my do-not-ever-see-list: V for Vendetta, Monster, the other one where she works in the mine and is ugly, GI Jane, and the Bridget Jones movies. Sorry, but I am a raging sexist.
Magic 8 Ball is Holly jealous Maki got to see V is for Vendetta?
Magic 8 Ball: It is certain.
:-(
I'm waiting for the review because that's as close as I'll get to the movie anytime soon.
See thats my problem, I don't have internet at work, my boss is eivl like that, so I have to read it on my own time. I must be your most loyal reader if everyone else just reads it to kill time at work
I'm eagerly awaiting your review. :)
Any updates on Snakes on a Plane?;o)
