i went to see hedwig

i went to see hedwig and the angry inch yesterday. what a movie. often, when a movie tries to switch between live action and animation, it seems forced, but this one did it very well. maybe it was because the only animation was during the songs, but regardless, it worked very well. simply put, this is a stellar rock musical. i can't wait to get the soundtrack.

an update on the nimda virus. somehow, i got reinfected. i'm still not sure how this happened, since i had installed the required updates, but it did. i suppose that it is possible that installing active perl caused my system to be vulerable again, so this time, i installed the hotfix after i installed active perl. we will see if this helps. it was even more infected this time, with a infected file count of 4898, but mcafee has gotten significantly better at removing it, so i only had to reinstall perl and ie.

i also just finished installing imap and pop3 on my linux box, so i can use eudora at home. i guess i should use pine, but i sometimes forget to check the netwerk-x.com box.

i loaned jenn my sleeping bag and thermarest. i offered to let her use my lantern, and headlamp, but she decided not to. i think she might regret not having the headlamp, although the lantern she could do without.

i have decided to boycott techtv.com since they continue to use layered ads that lay on top of their articles. it's really a tough thing for me since i used to go there all the time, but i guess sacrifices are in order if i'm going to keep my ideals.
