Today I'm writing from a computer lab I shouldn't be in, using an account that's not mine! I'd also like to note that I helped break into a house last night. Both of these activities were the result of:
a) necessity
b) seeing "The Italian Job" last night
I'm waaaaay too influenced by movies, especially those featuring illegal activity. After watching "Rounders" I wanted to be a poker player. After watching just about any heist movie, I want to put together elaborate plans to steal cool stuff, where each person on my team would have a cool specialty. And after seeing "Hackers" I really wanted to camouflage my laptop and say things like "It's got a killer refresh rate" and "Yeah, RISC is good."
But tragically, I'm not that cool. I'm updating my blog from a CSU lab in some business school. "Sneaking in" involved letting myself in through their unlocked doors and I'm using a friend's account. And we broke into said friend's house last night to get collect some of my stuff. But Danny did have to climb through an (open) window and I had to use my height to boost him up - with in injured hand, no less! You can't stop us, we're outta control.
By the way, "The Italian Job" was fun, but not great. I enjoyed the computer nerd character, as was to be expected. And his computer wasn't a Mac, like it almost always is in movies. And although his screen had all kinds of weird graphical stuff, I did notice he used some real commands in a shell off to the side. Speaking of which, did anyone else notice that Trinity used ssh in Reloaded? I'm such a nerdy nerd McNerds-a-lot.
I saw "The Italian Job" tonight and I am similarly hyped. If you ever form the team I got dibs on the safe opener to your techie. Glad to see you're having a good time. Talk to you later.

I was very impressed to see that they got the tech right for once in a movie. How ever I liked trinity more from the last movie. I just can't get a hard on from a girl that uses bash. I need to find me some good tcsh girls. Rawrrrr.
