03/17/2005 Thursday morning, St. Patrick's Day (10:40 AM)

Ah, St. Patrick's... a day for most to feign what I do not have to: Irish heritage. So from the bowls of Lucky Charms placed in an Irish colleague's office this morning, to surprise punches to those not wearing the Green, this morning has been fun. Oh, yeah, my morning meeting with the uber-social wonk of the office was cancelled. Happy happy, joy joy!

I have seen two films in the past two days that will open in April: Sahara and Sin City. The pair represents a sort of Alpha to Omega of film fun. Sahara is fun, fast, and relatively lighthearted and loose. Sin City is dark, gritty, violent and dystrophic, yet so compelling. I wrote a small comment on Sin City for the IMDB. Depending on one's mood, you ought to find time to see both in a theatre soon.

Congrats to Baretta on beating the rap!
