Movie weekend, none of which I'd seen before:

Sky Captain - prolly was good to see on the big screen; story was ok, the direction undoubtedly limited by the format (green screen to the extreme). A decent experment, but I think we are a ways away from seeing more movies made like this one was. The acting was good: all the characters were believable in the context of the 50's serial sci-fi drama.

Se7en - A different presentation on the "killer agent of god" theme. Morgan Freeman was excellent as always. Ending was predictable and totally sucked, IMO.

Equilibrium - The storyline was intriguing and the fight scenes were just as good as anything in the Matrix. The ending one the best; just when you think it couldn't get any more intense it does, and without being 5 minutes too long like most of the fight scenes in the Matrix III were.

Mr. 3000 - I wanted to end the weekend on an up-note, particularly after watching Se7en this afternoon while eating lunch. Big mistake there. It's funny enough to be worth the rental. Still watching it, so no comment on it overall just yet.

Looking at my recent postings, I realized that I've posted more this month than I did all last. Looking back through my calendar, I see I average about 8 posts a month. The most I've done ever is 12 in one month (twice), so I'm going to past that this month no problem. I think I post more in other's journals than mine.

I'm not terribly surprised at this, as I've never really considered myself a writer or diarist or whatever label you'd like to apply to someone who has a natural desire to record their thoughts and feelings. I even said so in my slashdot journal.

So, for those of you reading this and care to comment (friends, strangers, lurkers, aliens from alpha centarui), why do you write in your journals?
