| On this day in 2002
It's been a pretty uneventful week. Work, sleep, work, sleep - pretty much thats all I did. I was hoping to be able to get out of work a little early, since I got in at 8am. That wasn't the case - ended up staying late with a fellow employee to get some stuff done. Ended up leaving work at around 6:30 or so. Drove down to the city, dropped off the fellow employee, and headed to The Paramount - to see Final Fantasy in Digital.
I ended up watching the movie in IMAX format instead. The movie has an interesting story, but still follows that same formula of myth vs. military vs. enemy. I was impressed with the level of detail the sprites in the animation had. However I still found their movements to be too computer-like. Overall I rate the movie an eight out of ten. I really liked the 'look and feel' of the movie. With the holographic controls, weapons, buildings, and vehicles all having a really nice futuristic look.
A loooooong time ago, back when I was in Australia. I met this really nice person - Jennifer! It was at my last social function in Aussie Land. Anthony's and May's combined b-day party. If you look back to a previous entry (Jan 21st, 2001) I said her name was Sarah. Well, I don't know what I was thinking - but yes, it is the same person, and her name is Jennifer. It would be great to see her. We're keeping in touch via email. She should be in the country in about a month or so. I plan on giving her a nice tour of the city, before she heads off to Queens for school.
Well we lost to Beijing, for the 2008 olympics. Que'll Surprise! It would have been GREAT for Toronto to have won the bid. 56 votes for China, 22 votes for Canada - not even close. Well, I guess there is always 2012.
