batman 1, tsunami 0

saw Batman Begins last night. it starts slow, but once things pick up it's pretty great.

( no spoilers here, but if you're hypersensitive, skip this part. )

in other news, i had no idea about the earthquake and tsunami warning because i was working and then in the theater. on my way home, i couldn't figure out why so many people were packed into the scenic overlook i pass on the way down the hill.

at least they weren't on the fucking beach like the last time we had a tsunami warning worth mentioning, after the Kobe quake. so one good thing has come of the Indian Ocean tsunami -- people have gotten at least some clue.

things worth reading

i've been enjoying mskala 's recent posts to his Other Blog (lebwog_feed), in which PimpMaster C explains economics to the layman.

also, if you're not already reading hwrnmnbsol, you should be.
