I have a little more to share about yesterday's entry, where I talked about some training I'm doing for work. I should note that during the training, you're watching these video clips and then choosing an answer based on the characters around you. The story's all about this gold mine in the Old West. Well, I got the chance to go through a few more situations today and in one, where I did something that seemed totally reasonable, I blew up the mine and then got murdered by a lynch mob. I am being serious. Can you say upper-management material?
Well, I finally have the HDTV going on the Big TV. It didn't start working until around 9:45 this morning. As one might predict, it's hard to find scintillating, high definition content at 9:45 on a Wednesday morning. I did happen to find an episode of Quantum Leap on a local channel. Let me tell you something: you haven't seen Scott Bakula until you've seen him in high definition. He is simply magnificent, probably way better than he is in person. In fact, of the three people I've seen up-close in high definition so far (him, Robert Deniro, and Boof Bonzer), Bakula is numero uno. In my house, we will refer to HDTV as Bakula-vision.
I'd also like to recommend a movie, the Science of Sleep. It's excellent, surreal humor, much like this site (the surreal part was calling Goulash excellent, which in turn was excellent). If you enjoyed Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, you would like this. It's even better in some ways, nameless that you don't have to see Elijah Wood sniffing underwear. I am not alone in saying that scene troubled me. However, I don't think the soundtrack is as good. Jon Brion, a criminally underrated musician, scored ESofSM (horrible abbreviation) and I didn't see him in the credits. Maybe he's going under the stage name of the White Stripes. Anyway, it's an enjoyable movie and well worth watching.
