Saw "I am Legend" on Friday night. Not a bad film, kind of like a less depressing version of "28 Days Later" (obviously the horror movie, not the Sandra Bullock vehicle). Will Smith plays the lone survivor of a viral plague in New York City, and everyone else has turned into zombie/vampire-like creatures who only come out at night. Some great scenes of New York City completely empty, with Smith hunting down deer and lions on the streets.
I finally got my broadband up and working at my new place. After hours on the phone with my ISP, turns out what I needed was a new modem. I got one with a built in wireless router on Saturday and had it up and running in minutes. I'm now ready to take on my fellow PS3/NBA 2k8 owners online (ie that means you, Corey and Mike).
I'm trying to cut down on my magazine subscriptions, especially after finding hundreds of old issues in my shed when I moved. I just resubscribed today to Esquire though. Fantastic writers (including a monthly column from Chuck Klosterman), and costs me less than $2 an issue (and I'm pretty sure it costs them at least that to post it to me from the US).
Music I'm enjoying right now - "Stranger's Almanac" by Whiskeytown, "Sunday at Devil Dirt" by Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell, and I'm actually enjoying a few tracks off the new Coldplay CD. Biggest disappointment - the new Aimee Mann album, that's two bad ones in a row for her (and three if you count that terrible Christmas album she did).
Another cool thing about my new house - the service station around the corner sells Farmers Union 600ml Iced Coffees for two for $4.50. I'm sure that's the cheapest I've seen since Corey and I used to carpool to work years ago and ended up buying one each almost every morning.
