I went to see 10000 BC the other night. It wasn't very good. It had its good moments, mostly a few cool special effect scenes, but otherwise it was pretty corny. Any attempts to make the audience care for the main characters failed through horribly contrived dialog. It didn't help that some of the primitive tribal characters looked like they were freshly manicured and were wearing mascara in the same era that the Egyptians were apparently building the Great Pyramid with the help of woolly mammoths. The mammoths sure did look cool though.
I've also been watching a lot of the newer Battlestar Galactica TV series lately. Now that is a quality show. It does a good job of bringing up tough ethical and morale situations that many societies seem to be discussing these days. Things like racial issues (masked as humans and machines in the show), terrorism and wars, suicide bombing, the issues of messing with human DNA, the constant struggle of religions and science, and the whole idea of souls and what qualifies something to be considered alive and deserving of rights in this day and age. Of course, all of this is sewn into a science fiction series that is packed with interesting and flawed characters along with a cool story and good action. So yeah, I like it.
Otherwise, things are moving along as usual. I'm still looking to buy my first property anytime soon (which is whenever I find something I like in my price range), I'm working on that new DJ mix that should be ready any day now, and I've got a few seasons of new TV shows to continue watching. I've also got a slew of new photos that I've been taking thanks to all this great weather. So stay tuned for more blog updates soon.

This is a really nice shot. Where did you take it?
Thanks. I took this on Satuday at the Abkhazi Garden in Oak Bay. Went there for lunch with my mom and Asuka.
