Two hours, four minutes of my life I’m never going to get back

No one ever warned me not to watch Lucky You. Maybe, I should have known better. There were plenty of warning signs. But, there was nothing on the DVR and it was a Sunday afternoon.

I almost got away from it. I hated the main character enough to root for Drew Barrymore not to sleep with him. That meant I thought he didn’t deserve to do as well as, say, Tom Green. But, it kept hovering back and forth over the entertaining-annoying ratio line and sucked me in.

Even if this had been a good movie up to that point, the ending would have made it a horribly bad movie. Instead, it went from mediocre to painfully bad. Everyone involved should be embarrassed.

No one ever warned me. Now, you’ve been warned.

Word (Com)Press and Google Chrome

It seems that writing or editing WordPress posts in Google Chrome squeezes out all the whitespace and makes the post unreadable.

I apologize for the mangled posts earlier this month. They have proven non-trivial to restore. I’ll try to fix them later, but would rather not let the difficulty in fixing them keep me from producing new content.
