Seriously, people.

If our IT Communications Department sends out 2 urgent emails saying that we're being phished and not to open any email with any nonstandard variation of Corp!Name or with certain text that they then quote, why in the hell do you forward said phishing email to the admins and ask us if the email is for real? Read the urgent emails, delete the phishing fucker and go on. Jeebus.


It was a good night last night. Z & I made dinner (shrimp & whole-wheat pasta with a soy-miso sauce), and watched Barton Fink, and then took a walk down to the store. I'd not seen the movie before, and it had been ages ago for Zach, so it made a good second choice. It was our second choice because we had originally planned to watch Blade Runner (which I've also not seen), but we discovered that NetFlix had sent us the Director's Cut. However, after talking to a friend that called as we were in the middle of Barton Fink, we've decided to give the Director's Cut a chance, and make sure to watch the theatrical release soon after, so as to compare and contrast. So, we have Blade Runner for next Monday. Hopefully we won't overschedule ourselves again and crowd out our date night - until we hit rehearsals for Fringe, of course.

Barton Fink though - I think I loved it. I'm not sure, since I take some time to process Coen films, but I'm definitely in favor of it right now. So strange. So disturbing. And John Goodman is So. Damn. Good. This makes it 3 for 6 films of the Coens that I've seen and liked: Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, and O Brother, Where Art Thou?. I'm so-so on Fargo, and have never been able to sit all the way through Raising Arizona and The Big Lebowski.

I've been watching the Lord Of The Rings trilogy (theatrical release) as I've been running on the treadmill. Actually, I finished Return Of The King this morning. Now I need to buy the Extended Editions and watch those. Watching while I'm running makes me lose some of the nuance, but it sucks me right in to the grand scope of the thing. Of course, it also poses problems at certain points - I choke up easily during most of The Two Towers and at quite a few points of Return Of The King. I still think "flaaaaaaming DEATH!" at Denethor's passing, however. Personal experience shows that neither girly weeping nor hysterical laughter are conducive to attaining my V02 max, but at least it passes the time.

Tonight, we see She Loves Me at the Guthrie. I'm meh on the show, but the tickets are free, so what the hell. I will get to see friends perform, and that is a good thing.

How can you not love Raising Arizona? Especially with lines like "They were Star Wars jammies! They had Yodas and shit all over 'em!"

I don't know, but I've never quite made it through. I'm a heretic, I know.

at my previous job, IT told me that they spent a day after the snow white letter hit - every time - stripping virii from machines in the account department. But.. this time maybe the word file will have dwarf porn. You never know unless you try...
