whew

Godspell is over. The performances were really good. I admit I was a little worried after the final dress rehearsal, which was a bit on the rough side, but everyone really pulled it together for the show. Having an audience helped, I'm sure. For that matter, having all of the cast and crew there helped, too.

Linda, Meredith's mom, came up Saturday so that she could see the musical. Despite the holiday weekend, Meredith says that SFO wasn't busy at all either Saturday or today. Linda says that LAX, on the other hand, was insanely crowded on Saturday.

A few weeks ago, Meredith's iBook stopped booting. We bought an external Firewire hard drive to back up her disk before reinstalling everything. Thinking that it would be easy to continue using the drive for backups, I showed Meredith how easy it was to drag her hard disk into a folder on the firewire drive. And then watched as it errored out. Maybe it needs to run as root. Oh well — it seemed like it would be easy at the time.

Linda, Meredith and I were talking about favorite movies. Some of my favorites (in no particular order) are:

    The Empire Strikes Back (the best of the SW movies)
    The Matrix
    South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
    American Beauty
    The Blues Brothers
    Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring
    True Lies
    Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan (the best of the ST movies)
    Fight Club
    The Princess Bride

And Last Action Hero ... oh, no, wait, that was my least favorite movie ever. (Really, has there ever been a worse movie?) I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but that seems like a pretty good list.
