Day: April 7, 2005

Mark and I caught Sin City tonight. It was the most violent, gruesome, bloody, and graphic film I’ve ever seen. Wow, what a ride. The style, direction, and characters were all amazingly well done. From start to finish I was completely drawn into the entire comic world Frank Miller created. I’d say more if I could, but my mind is so completely scattered from the intense cinematic experience that I can’t organize my thoughts.

However I do need to make one major statement: DO NOT TAKE KIDS TO SEE THIS MOVIE! Yes, that did need to be in all caps. To the people behind us who brought their 9 year-old girl: YOU ARE HORRIBLE PARENTS. Incredible film, but not for kids.

New coffee machine at work… Seven or eight ways to serve up hot caffeine… Craziness ensues…

I’m so excited about this machine that I’ve tried three of the options today alone: Cappucinno, Café Mocha, and Café Latte. Café Mocha is definitely the best, but they’re all way better than the crap I had been drinking before.

But the real point of this post? To test out the Auto shutoff comments plugin, of course. From now on, comments will be closed after 21 days. That sounds like a good length to me.

UPDATE: Oh yeah, it worked. Great plugin, this should definitely cut down on spam, and all those stupid comments about how much you like cheese (I’m not making that up, 6 from one person on a post about censorship). We’ll see if I have to do it to trackbacks, too. Not that I get a lot of trackbacks…

UPDATE: For starters, after a quick trial I’m seriously debating a third cup of the Hazelnut Cappucinno – which I’m sure you’re all fascinated by. Secondly, I’ve already received 2 trackback spams, so it is quite probable that I will kill trackbacks after 21 days along with comments.
