"The Rock" holds up. After having the Bacation! in California and really getting to see and wander around San Francisco - including touring Alcatraz, The Rock is still good.
There are obviously some liberties with the Alcatraz geography, but that's okay. It's a movie.
In other news, I'm still powering through Atlas Shrugged, and really enjoying it.

@#$$^%&*&^%^&*()(*&^%!!!!!
Honestly there will never be enough time in a day for me.
I have way too many unfulfilled ideas and activities that I would like to pursue; the limit of 24 hours, the need to sleep, and a full time job are burdens that are just too much to handle.
There are approximately 500 novels (approximated by an estimate that took a very short time to generate) that I would like to read.
I want to learn to the python programming language.
I wish to implement some sensors and an arduino board into a backing up/distance sensor on my car. Preferably attached under the bumper in a pelican case with a simple digital readout inside (no 'beeping' like in the expensive cars, but something that is like x meters)
I wish to fiddle with my pictures in GIMP (because i don't want to pay for photoshop, and i have issues with pirating software)
I want to go back to school and get a Ph.D. in at least one subject (and there are at least 4 that I would like to pursue).
Not something I want to do, but I cannot stand the bureaucracy associated with full time careers. It's not enough that I actually enjoy the work, and would actually look forward to going to it every day, but i seriously feel that it will inevitably lead to me being unable to ever be satisfied with it.
which leads me to - I'd probably be happier with a simpler job working with my hands, or something else. Like renting bicycles. This isn't ment to belittle these jobs/lifestyles/whateveryouwanttocallthemcareers - it's like a post modern (wtf does that even mean - when was modern? the future is now! [but it can't be if there is was will be, wait, don't, read on] where do my parenthesis end? here?) take on kant. The common man has it right (said in a way the common man can't understand - or so goes the joke).
CRÆP§!#
And I want to devote time to working out and relaxing (like in a yoga, meditation, thinking about nothing way).
And the following is slightly disgusting, so WARNING!
But I find lifting weights boring. And my blisters from San Francisco got blisters, so i cut those off, and so now there is like a third set of blisters (and then the one had dirt in it, so i had to clean that beast out) so walking is slightly painful, but still very enjoyable.
Also I want to play video games.
