Because I know you were all wondering what uninteresting things I've been up to. Really.

The weather was lovely yesterday, as expected, which made it an excellent choice for boating: motorboating specifically. Great fun, especially since my friend who was driving likes to go fast, particularly over waves and other boats' wakes. Whee! Saw a cormorant nest and seals sunning on the rocks but beginning to look vaguely uncomfortable and progressively wetter as the tide started to come in. And we went up on Cadillac Mountain, which was very scenic, and went to the tourist trap restaurant in Acadia National Park, which was crowded, exorbitantly expensive, but delicious. Saw Spiderman 2 on Tuesday night in a neat old theater, from balcony seats, which was also very cool. Ate chocolate peanut butter cookie dough ice cream. Went shopping in Bar Harbor, through all the touristy stores, and obtained a sweatshirt and tank top and resisted the temptation to get a t-shirt with a skull and crossbones and the slogan "the beatings will continue until morale improves". Upon learning that I'd never seen a James Bond movie, my friend selected "Tomorrow Never Dies" from her extensive collection and we watched that, which was entertaining with many explosions and almost exactly what I expected, which was okay. I liked it enough that I'm tempted to start making my way through the rest of her Bond movies. :P Though I do seem to be losing all my random unique "I've never seen that" quirks. First Star Wars, now James Bond -- I'll have to come up with new bizarre things, I guess. Hey, I still haven't seen a Superbowl, that counts for something, right?

My brother's friend was in the credits for Spider Man 2. He went to MIT... We haven't figured out exactly what he did for the movie, though... "Night Technician" or something like that. This dude also wrote all the text at http://www.r50rd.co.uk/research/internal/v2i/engin/ (which is a page that requires more explanation than is here...) and will be associated in some way with I, Robot, because of his knowledge of robotics... and was in an episode of Junkyard wars.

Yeah, he's a hoopy frood.

Sounds like you're having fun! And I so would have folded and bought that shirt. Good job resisting!

Also, if you're going to watch a Bond movie, I'd reccommend one of the earlier ones: either Sean Connery or Roger Moore. But, yeah, Bond movies are silly fun.

It was a pretty neat shirt. It's also pretty widely available online, it appears, as well as the ones with place names of which the one I saw was only one of several apparently available. So it's not all that cool and neat and unique, which is kinda why I didn't. I'm still proud of my restraint though. :D

I saw a Sean Connery and the aforementioned Pierce Brosnan one... actually liked the latter better, though perhaps it's because I spent a large portion of the movie going "wait... is that *really* Sean Connery? But he doesn't look like that! He's OLD!" :P

Very cool. Yes, he obviously knows where his towel is.
