This is funny in a shame-on-you-webmaster-for-not-thinking-of-this way.

Visit http://www.spellchecker.net and click on [Virtually Any Text Box] on the right hand side. Now click [View the To Do List Demo].

(Or just click here)

See the box that looks like this?

Description:

I clicked on [Spell Check] on their site and when it offered replacements to the misspelled words, I clicked [Add]. Now when I click on [Spell Check], it thinks everything is fine.

That is funny.

Okay, it's not as bad as I thought, but it's certainly not optimal:

It found the misspellings when I ran it the first time.  It must be
storing them in cookies.  In fact, it is.  What's more interesting is
that the same series of four cookies got set *three* times before it
started to spell check the text.  Also, when there were no errors, it
didn't load the ad banners.  So this webmister (not "master") not
only doesn't think of everything, he writes lame code, too.

I'm at the theater with Madison, watching the ads before we watch Hannibal. I've heard the movie is just gratiuitous guesome chop chop chop, and nothing like the psychological thriller Silence of The Lambs, which I really liked.

- - - - - -

The movie has just started and I'm already grossed out and intrigued.

- - - - - -

wow I amm lliteralllly about to pass out.

(outside theater)

Holy fuckin' shit. I only got to the first scene that was filmed as a memory of Hannibal.

The weirdest thing happened - I was averting my eyes, as I often do in particularly gory movie scenes, but the audio alone was too much. I tried to be a brave movie watcher, but I just felt this pass out feeling. It's the same feeling I had when I saw my friend Nancy have laser surgery done on her eyes.

Afterward, a nurse had said that when the heart gets going too fast, the brain will close off the valve that sends blood to the brain so that the vessels won't aneurism in the head.

That's what happened to me. valve closed off, no blood in brain, Rob almost passes out.

I'm outside now as I type this; I'm going to go back in.

I think this movie counts as pretty psychologically thrilling.

- - - - - -

wow this is a messed up movie

- - - - - -

that was a fucked up movie. wow.

I'm at work listening to NIN, transferring my entry to my website when Jen said HI on Yahoo! Messenger. Here's a sampling:

Rob: I just saw Hannibal
Rob: so so so so scary
Rob: don't go see it
Jen: I haven't seen it yet...I've heard that most people didn't like it
Rob: It was an excellent film,
Jen: Well, if it was excellent, why shouldn't I see it?
Rob: just *really* gross and *really* gross and *really* gross
Jen: Hmmm...ya don't think I could stomach it?
Rob: ...
Rob: I will preface this by saying "I know I got sick at that 3D movie, but"
Rob: I had to leave the theater for a bit
Rob: My experience was not "motion sickness"
Rob: but I began to pass out
Rob: I began to pass out because my heart was all THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP and the arteries that go to my brain got shut off so I wouldn't have an aneurism
Jen: Whoah
Rob: That's how it was explained to me why people pass out
Rob: yes
Jen: I remember hearing that somewhere
Rob: So yeah, I say it was excellent, but just too much on the psychological gore department
Rob: It was not as gory as Nightmare on Elm Street, but..
Jen: I hear that
Rob: with the combination of the psychological genius of Hannibal, it was too messed up for me.
Rob: (It was close to that gory though)
Jen: Gotcha
Rob: And maybe it was just as gory; I saw NM a long time ago
Rob: There! My official review of Hannibal! Thanks for helping me with it!
Jen: Yay!
