So I went to the Tivoli on thursday evening to see Bruce Campbell. He was almost exactly how I expected him to be. An amusing, witty jackass that knows he’s famous, but knows it doesn’t really make him all that. He talked about 15 or 20 minutes before showing his directorial debut, a movie set in bulgaria about gypsies, russian cab drivers with bling-bling, robots, frankenstein, Bruce Campbell doing a strange approximation of John Cleese, and random associated hijinks.

Just in case it isn’t clear, the movie was very low budget, silly and strange.

I don’t think I would necessarily sit through it again. It was pretty amusing to watch though, perhaps mostly since we had been warned by Mr Campbell at the beginning of the show, that we shouldn’t complement him on the movie until we actually saw it, as we might want our money back. He also warned that it had been funded by the Sci-Fi channel.

Most of his time talking before the show was spent answering questions from the audience about the movie, and random other things. I’m not entirely sure why but a number of the people asking questions were total morons. An opinion Mr. Campbell seemed to share, as he informed them as such. A choice example was a question asking if Mr Campbell was aware of an article that the questioner had read somewhere that suggested that due to the number of cameos and evil dead movies, Mr. Campbell’s face was more recognizable then any movie star.

I hadn’t remember to run the validators at the bottom of my page recently. The result was rather amusing:

While walking by a number of people leaving a bar I overheard three people having a discussion about who was sober enough to drive home. The line in particular that caught my attention however was:

No, no, I’m alright to drive. You know why? Because I only drank beer tonight.

<sarcasm>Cause you know that beer, it don’t get you nearly as drunk as that hard alcohol, clearly A-OK to drive.</sarcasm> I’m just hoping I misheard and that what she actually said was “because I only drank a beer tonight”.

Some people do believe some interesting “facts” though…

I had to move this weekend, which was unfortunate since it was around 100 degrees during the time period I had to move. I think however it was the quickest move I have ever made. I was all packed up and ready to go, so it took the six of us 30 minutes to move everything down three flights of stairs, and then about 20 minutes for four of us to move it into my new apartment which is on the first floor.

Our air conditioner appears to work by magic. It’s technically set to off, but it appears to always be running. Nicely enough, unlike most apartments with central air, the actual heater/air conditioner is not in the apartment, but in the basement, so we don’t have to deal with the excessive noise that central air usually provides. Furniture was also purchased, so I actually have a comfortably furnished living room for once. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to reaquire my dining room table, and then I’ll have all of my possessions under one roof again.

It’s a nice big place though, living room, dining room, good sized kitchen, two bedrooms, two sun rooms, and a number of random closets. Also a fireplace although it’s only for decoration. I will need to complain to my landlord about a few things here and there, but mostly it’s pretty nice. It’s also pretty cheap, so that makes it even better. Hopefully I won’t get broken into though, since we are living on the first floor.

Internet service hasn’t been purchased yet, I’m thinking cable internet is probably the way we will go, but in the meantime I will have to do without. I haven’t checked for wireless in the building though, so it’s possible I could steal a signal to get by for the time being.
