August 5, 2008 | Ready for Vancouver

Monday was basically finalizing everything I needed for my trip, and getting some last minute things out of the way. It was also an excuse to go out and get some new clothes and finishing things that I had been procrastinating on for a few days now. Otherwise, I’m packed and ready to get the hell out of Florida.

I leave 8:30 A.M. ET on Wednesday, and will land at 5:30 P.M. PT in Vancouver.

I also went to see Hellboy 2. It was an OK flick, and I almost fell asleep at the end of it (although I was running on three hours of sleep, so that likely had something to do with it). Otherwise, it was a well-executed time waster. Fun, predictable, and nice to look at. Plot is very linear and the bad guys looked like the freaking Wraith from Stargate Atlantis… I kid you not. I was expecting John Sheppard to come out and start mowing the war-mongering prince down with a FN P-90.

Not something I’d add to my DVD collection, but good enough to put on in the background when it hits HBO, Skinamax, or Showtime.
