Last night,
bethje and I watched Short Circuit 2. I thought it was better than the first one, since there was a lot more going on in terms of plot and characters. Incidentally, Beth noticed what appears to be a continuity error between the two movies. In the first one, the Indian scientist guy tells Steve Guttenberg that he's from Bakersfield, and his family is from Pittsburgh. In this one, though, he says he's actually from India, and he's studying for his citizenship test. I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder. {g}
Today, I went with Beth to buy her textbooks for the new semester. She also bought Twin Cinema, the new album by the New Pornographers, at the school bookstore. I'm listening to it now, and it's quite good. I think I like it better than The Electric Version, although not as much as Mass Romantic. Electric was a fun album, but I think most of the songs sounded kind of the same. Maybe I'm giving it too little credit, though. I should probably listen to that one again in the near future. Anyway, there's more variety on Cinema. I haven't picked a favorite song yet, but there are quite a few candidates.
By the way, while we at the school bookstore, I noticed that one of the books they were selling was (I kid you not) C. S. Lewis and Narnia for Dummies. I sometimes wonder if the Dummies franchise has gone too far. {g}
After leaving the store, I dropped Beth off at work, and donated a bunch of her old board games that she never played to the thrift store. And now I'm at at the computer, posting this entry.
