his specific Cuban superstition (or whatever you'd like to call it) actually exists, though I truly don't know what it means to put pennies in the corner of your home.

As I mentioned in the previous news update, a link to LIPP's Forums now adorns the navigation menu. If you haven't already, go check it out, sign up, and start pissing off others with your unwavering opinion. Good times for all!

I've got quite a few topics up. As with anything on the internet, I'm competing for another social paradigm. Folks already involved in some message board somewhere else will probably see little need to post anything in the topics I've created.

So, for now, the only forums I'm really expecting to get some interesting stuff out of are those specific to the comic themselves.

Anyway, It feels like we're finally settling down in the new place. After some training at the new job, I took it upon myself to watch Band Of Brothers one particularly lazy weekend. It was a fantastic series -- Ron Livingston is one of my favorite actors. I'm not quite sure why (but it probably has something to do with the "give a shit" attitude from Office Space).

Concurrently, as looking for the links above in IMDb.com led me to remember, Wikipedia led me on a three-hour clicking frenzy while reading up about World War II  factoids. Have you ever seen the floorplan for Hitler's protective bunker, where he eventually shot himself in the head?

There's a few small, "neighborhoodly" movie theaters around these parts, too. A while ago, someone asked me, "What's one thing you'd love to do just for the hell of it?"

My answer was pretty simple: "I want to own a theater, arcade, or a combination of both." It would be a great time. A good friend of mine from the northwest Chicagoland area is a big fan of the movies. Not "theater" or "film" or some other pretentious representation. Movies.

He got me interested in the idea when a bunch of us started going on a weekly basis. We saw most stuff on opening night. If two things were going head-to-head, we'd make a weekend of it.

(Plug here: that's why I'm a fan of Multiplex. I think it would be fun having a handful of folks that opinionated about movies working for me. I could probably learn a few things.)
