My long running mistake is confusing this title with Pushing Tin (1999).

After my son and I saw it, he gave one of the most direct movie reviews I had heard. "There was a lot of action and it was thrilling, but it seemed more like a whole bunch of things that happened in order than an actual story."

I went to a BioWare reunion of sorts last night. It was great to see Ray and Greg again, and see so many old friends. What I didn't expect was both Commander Shepards to be there as well. Great to see Jennifer Hale and Mark Meet in person again.

We used to be able to rent CDs in Canada. My friend and I discovered so much new music when we tried before we bought. We purchased so many albums. When CD rentals went out with NAFTA, my purchasing dropped off.

I was out driving last night. Spotted a couple of motorcycles that looked more like off-road bikes. Me: Why would you choose to drive a dirt bike in the city? Me, hammering 3 downtown Edmonton road construction potholes in a row: Oh.

Viggo Coyote: It's not what you did, son, that angers me so. It's who you did it to. Iosef Coyote: Who? That fucking nobody? Viggo: That "fuckin' nobody"... is Casper Wick. He once was an associate of ours. They call him "Barker Yaga."
Picture of a dog with some subtle injuries. Text says:

Farm herd Casper, a 21 month old, faced off 11 coyotes and killed 8 of them. He was missing for 2 days right after because he was tracking the remaining coyotes and finishing the job. His vet said he was lucky to be alive.

Ah man. I am back in Edmonton, helping out my mom, and my son just called a little while ago and there is water in the basement of the house we rent back in Ottawa. My adult son is alone there having to deal with it all. Apparently there is all kinds of flooding happening all over the city.

68 million is a failure? What an insane state of movie valuations we are going through. I won't be able to see it for another week or so. I don't care how much it has made or will make. What about the movie itself?

What a fascinating number. I have done 27 complete playthroughs of Deus Ex, and I only stopped after 27 because on the 27th I hadn't found a new path, a new outcome, or a new choice. What an amazing game. I had always wanted to do a remaster of that game.
