That Sure Is A Big Pile O' Persians!

Not a whole lot went on Friday. UTSI had its annual kick-off picnic that was wisely held indoors this year. Other than having way too many people speaking before the serving lines were allowed to form, it went well. The barbecue was NOT from Piggy's Place; a smart move. It was from the other place in town, whose name escapes me. Its not Central BBQ, so its pretty irrelevant anyway.

A lightning storm parked above Tullahoma last night. It was both neat and scary. But more scary than neat.

Frank Miller's 300 is just as awesome as I'd hoped. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, however. It's got the Frank Miller feel, which not everyone is going to like. As Jeff points out, if you didn't like Sin City, you won't like 300. I will also go out on a limb and agree with Jeff that 300 is the better of the two movies. It was also refreshing to see ancient Greeks portrayed as having accents other than British. This time around, they were Scottish. Not very different, but different nonetheless.

That's pretty much the day, except for some eating here and there, going to the store, and doing a little bit of work. I better do the dishes soon, before they attack.
