the wonders of the modern age

i must say that at this point, if i had one thing to chose to help keep my sanity for the rest of my life, i would chose the hot tub - god bless those greeks and romans for making it so popular to soak back in the good ole' days. i've been housesitting for the parents while they island hop in hawaii, and my nightly ritual has begun to include a 40 mnute soak in the hot tub - it helps that this one has a panoramic view of the city - and it has been the best part of my day. i keep telling people to come up and soak in the tub - i've had a few takers, and a few who have scoffed at the idea, but they don't know what they are missing. so for all you who live in the bay area and have my number, and want to come for a soak, you be invited.

on another note, i happened to catch last summers mega hit, 'XXX,' with the ever popular vin diesel, and i must say it was crap - loads ans loads of crap. usually i can go into these types of movie knowing they are crap and just zone out and enjoy the action and campiness of it all, but this movie really was awful - maybe i'm getting to enjoy stupid movies - i hope that's not true, and this movie was really just incredibly bad.
