I was watching X-men 1 last night on DVD and I was having trouble getting the slightly lower quality branching scenes to stop playing. The menu was needlessly cryptic – but the worst bit was that it was animated. So, everytime I tried to make a change, I had to sit through some stupid and tedious animation. It’s not too bad once, but even twice is annoying. Never did get it working quite right.<\/p>\n

My internal gastrointestional clock has somehow gotten off-track and I’ve had to avail myself of the restroom faclities at work instead of waiting till I get home where I can read a comic or a magazine in peace. The toilet paper dispensers are now added to my “banes of existance”.<\/p>\n

1. Giant, difficult to turn rolls.
2. 1 ply paper. No, more like 1\/2 ply. Or maybe .4 ply
3. Difficult to tear against the plastic teeth.
4. No shelf for a book, magazine, or newspaper.<\/p>\n

And finally – 2 rolls? Which do we use first? That’s too much pressure when I’ve got other things to focus on.<\/p>\n

In other news, I converted my site to a template format. Should be vastly easier to update from here on out. Still got a few things to fix and I’m not sure I like the “sand”, but I’ll work on it.<\/p>\n

Finally, got some bad news at work – but I can’t really talk about it yet. It’s messed with my mood quite a bit this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Well, back to work…<\/p>\n
