WATCHING:
The Hangover
Starring Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms

Finally got around to seeing this 2009 hit.

Pretty damn good.

Good setup: Four guys go to Vegas for a last weekend of fun before one of the four gets married. What could go wrong?

They wake up the next morning, and no one can remember what transpired the night before. And the groom is missing. And there is a live tiger in the bathroom. And a baby in the closet.

Could have been bad, but they pulled it off. Nice, offbeat comedy.

All movies

Had a nightmare this past weekend: I installed a SCSI card in my computer to run an (old) SCSI scanner on my computer about a week ago. Worked fine on my old Win2000 box in the day; seemed to work fine on my WinXP box now. Scanned and all that.

But then – about a week later – I was just noodling around on my computer, and accidentally hit the wrong TWAIN source in PhotoShop.

Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). A first on this box.

Rebooted blah blah, went to the control panel to see if stuff was installed correctly…

BSOD.

Eep!

My computer still worked fine, but it was incredibly flaky. “This” would work, but “that” would BSOD things.

I finally – after many hours – did a full system restore, Windows Updates etc…and I think all is well.

But, hell.

That was a lot of work for nothing.

Damn you Windows!

And damn you SCSI (USB won’t [today] give this kind of trouble).
