I want to rewatch "Kill Bill" one of these days. It's an appropriate flick for feelings of murderous vengefulness, I think.

Also noting I have several half-finished reviews on a number of books and films, kept as text files all over my desktop or as Gmail drafts. Need to start finishing those up also. Perhaps today I'll post one or two of them.

And I also really *really* need to start searching for a job and sending out CVs. I'm *way* behind on doing that, which alas most likely means there'll be an empty period after I finish with the army early next month. Ugh. I really should have started sending CVs a month ago.

LOL! But I'm so *good* at slacking! :-D

Cool, I share a birthday with Spike Lee.

Also, this isn't on the list, but on my birthday some dude (apologies to history majors) said, "Give me liberty, or give me death." I think it was right after they let him eat cake.
