Am at work in San Diego.
Nov. 3rd, 2003 09:38 amYeah, they transferred me to San Diego. Currently working w/same demon software program I have been using for last 5 yrs; my chapter only converted away from it in September. Is good to be using program that actually WORKS as our new fundraising software = MAJOR PAIN IN BUM... anyway. At work @ chapter. Will use cybercafe or library or something for most personal foo but thought I'd just pop in briefly here.
Saw Brother Bear last night. Went berserk trying to figure out where the frell in Alaska this was supposed to be taking place. Denali-style glacial melt rivers looked just like I remember them, but the trees were so Pacific Northwest in size & trunk growths that it hurt, plus bears too big not to be coastal grizzlies, and SE Alaska =! compatible w/auroral activity EVERY FRELLING NIGHT. Also had enormous difficulty swallowing the idea of 30+ bears happily gathered together being sociable & friendly towards one another. Bears = solitary. Grizzly boars tend to, yanno, squeesh leetle cubs like grapes if cubs not their own... anyway. Decent movie and I was v. glad that the Ice Age Inuit were not depicted as Pocahontas-class Total Brotherhood With Nature types, but the bear stuff & the geography bugged me. (Let's not start on the Mackenzie Moose Brothers.)
That having been said, must dash. Will talk later.
