One additional bit of fun from Saturday…

I knew I forgot something when talking about last night.

Among the festivities for our easily-amused selves was a bit of science-type fun involving, well… mixing Mentos and Diet Coke. :-) Sean and Jinny brought the Mentos and two two-liter bottles of Diet Coke, and before the first movie started we decided to mix it up in one of the bottles. After the second movie was over, we did it with the second bottle too.

I went ahead and took video of the first bottle going up; it’s from my camera’s phone, and keep in mind that lighting was horrible and that my phone’s camera isn’t too stellar to begin with. Those of you having difficulty even opening it might have luck using Quicktime. And, for your amusement… Diet Coke and Mentos exploding…

Ah, well… like I said, we were easily amused. :-)

Another lazy Sunday…

Well, here I am on another lazy Sunday. It’s been more or less uneventful for the most part; I’m sitting down in the kitchen having a soda, working on my laptop, and listening to music on my headphones. I should say it was uneventful except for one thing, which I’ll get to in a bit. Right now, though, I’m taking a break from doing some MK Online-related work. There’s an upcoming project I’m getting materials and proposals ready for, and it’s not exactly the most fun thing I’ve ever done. Ah, well…

The most eventful thing that happened this weekend was that I went over to a moviefest being held over at Becky’s and Brian’s (dude, if I got your name wrong, punch me out later; I’m HORRIBLE with names :-/) house; apparently they have them every so often, and the theme of last night’s moviefest was Austin Powers movies. Sean and Jinny were there, as well as Merrie and Jonathan (her new husband), not to mention a whole score of people I hadn’t met yet. The evening was quite fun, and I rather enjoyed myself. :-) The only regret was that we couldn’t see Goldmember, but that was perfectly understandable as Becky wasn’t feeling well and it was getting late as it was. Apparently the next moviefest will be a Monty Python marathon; I’ll be all over that one. :-)

Speaking of good movies, I saw a really good one Thursday evening: Good Night, and Good Luck. I’ll probably end up putting that one in my permanent collection. For those not aware, it’s about Edward R. Murrow and his confrontations with Sen. Joseph McCarthy in the early 50’s. It’s a powerful film, and I highly recommend it. The next film in my Netflix queue is V for Vendetta; that’s another one I’m really looking forward to. I’ll likely get it on Tuesday.

And now, I suppose I should get back to work on this MK Online stuff… fun fun…
