Damn. Heal up, Jack.

I don't really understand the Tom Hardy worship out there. He's a decent actor, but that's about it, IMO. He plays an aloof, someone detached tough guy in every role, and two roles now (at least) where his face is covered with a mask. What am I missing?

A friend of mine met him at some Harvard event several years ago and said the guy is a sociopath. It's written all over his face, anyway, not a hard conclusion to come to. And already exposed as a complete amateur in way over his head. **** him, I look forward to things getting even worse for him.

Um...what?

The sound of one negates the element of surprise, and it's also not a very quick piece of equipment to wield.

Looks really good

Saw "Dunkirk" tonight. The trend with war movies/series over the last 20 years or so has been shocking, graphic violence, with heads exploding and close ups of battlefield amputations, etc. Dunkirk is hopefully a start of a new trend away from that level of gore. This is a war movie you can take your 12 year old son to, IMO. It's a great film, and an unlikely aspect of the war for a big budget film to be about, but Nolan pulls it off, and with some finesse. Lush photography, excellent score and great acting. One of the best films I've seen in a while. It isn't trying to be an epic, either, it's almost a small film in a way. It's also under 2 hours .

I shut it off after the first 15 minutes.

What's the deal with the guitar player's pendant?

I can't make out what place this was supposed to denote, do tell!

Another good episode, this is fun!

I've changed my name from Bells to Balls. Sounds more footbally.

I'm good with that date.

Well, I've just started the CS class, so I'm a ways off. I'm going to take a class through Cisco when I'm done and hopefully try for the CCENT and take it from there. Certs through Cisco are not prohibitively expensive, so I'm pleased with that. We'll see how it goes, I should have a better idea in a few months time.

Any tweets from Tone on this?

Treated abysmally by Lambert. But he never publicly complained AFAIR. Obviously not world class, but not as bad as some people seem to think. SWFC is a good landing for him.

Off to Sheffield Wednesday apparently.

So if you're not a ST holder, you can't buy a ticket yet?

Re: the Pennington/Cornell deaths...both a stark reminder that even when you've "got it all" or have attained "success", basic human fragility is still always lurking. Sad and sobering.

A bottle of Bud. It's actually not bad beer. It's the Bud Light that's atrocious.

Ashley Parker, BTW...

I noticed this before the recent upgrade, but wanted to wait a few days to see if anything changed, but it hasn't- I recently donated, but cannot access the donors forum, or w/e it's called..

I see what you've done there..
