Evidently many people can be easily fooled by movies that have similar names. In fact there are studios whose entire business model is based on this fact. (The Asylum, I am looking in your direction for some reason.)

I finally got to see the movie Wanted. Overall I like it even if it was the single least accurate adaptation in the world.

My wife and I communicate differently. As I write that, I realize that it makes it sound like we use smoke signals instead of cell phones, or have created our own language out of high pitched dolphin shrieks. And while those things would be really cool, that is not what I am trying to say.

Although since I am on the subject of communicating differently, everybody knows, thanks to Tomax and Xamot, that twins can telepathically feel pain from their sibling regardless of any distance involved. Which means that I could theoretically rig up a crude Morse code system based off of tormenting one of my twins, and then interpreting the other’s distress. This would definitely be a different way of communicating, and would frankly be of some pretty hefty financial significance to the right intelligence service or large corporation. I’m pretty sure the Scream-a-phone could be a huge success and my wife is reading over my shoulder and has just informed me that I am no longer allowed to explore telecommunications as a career field. It’s like she wants us to be poor.

The other night I had decided to blow off some steam by hoping online and killing zombies in L4D2.

The problem with this plan is that the Left 4 Dead public games are more or less a collection point for emotionally impaired teenagers. And my gaming session proved to be filled with the sort of people that make me want to consider giving up online game entirely.

Me: I’m sorry. What happened.

From my online school:

We are discussing an essay entitled Sex, unhealthy Lies, ambulance and Conversation. It is about how marriages can be strained, or even destroyed by the fact that men and women communicate in a different manner.

So far six students have responded, myself, and five of my female classmates.

You know, it’s not that my son pukes white foam up all over me several times a day that bugs me. It’s the fact that he looks so darned proud after he does it.

Recently I took a typography course from the internet-based institution of higher learning that I attend. As with a previous class I became suspicious that the instructor was not paying attention.

At the present I am taking advantage of the newer and more generous GI Bill to go to online school. This allows me to take care of children, and do some freelance work, while still working on getting a degree.

Since I used to be a graphic designer for the Army (DINFOS trained killer!) and since I seem to be pretty good at it, that’s what I have decided to study.

If you’re ever been to an art school, or been to college with art majors, you may remember that art students can, at times, be a tad flaky. Most people haven’t been to an online school, but those that have can attest, online students, and instructors can be very flaky as well. After a few semesters I have discovered that these are cumulative modifiers.
