With this one my main thought the whole times were along the lines “Why? Why did they make this?” and “Is it over yet?” interspersed with, “Oh my god, Hillary Duff looks awful, what is wrong with her?”. Sure, it had a couple cute moments. But they were not all that often and there were more parts that were just stupid. It did have a nice sentimental “Awww…” ending, but everybody knew that going in, right? And OK, this movie is clearly NOT aimed at me. But still… Cronus has been a little slow lately, and it hasn’t been a memory or CPU issue. But low and behold, I look and my 500GB hard drive (really 465GB, but that’s the whole thing about how hard drives are labeled and the difference between 1000 and 1024, but whatever…) Where was I? Oh yeah, the drive was 97.8% full. I just deleted some stuff I’d downloaded that I could get back any time I wanted if I wanted but at the moment I don’t want, and got it down to 88.6% full. That is a lot better, but still pretty full. I have some more stuff that I’d feel comfortable burning to DVD or such and then removing from my primary drive, but that I don’t feel comfortable completely deleting. So I think maybe tomorrow I’ll go get a blank DVD or two and see what I can do with that. I’d like to get under 80%. Even lower if possible. I suspect the fullness of my drive may have something to do with some of the slowdowns I’ve had lately. Maybe not, but it certainly seems like 97.8% was pushing it a little bit. Anyway, time to go watch a DVD with the family. Tonight is an Amy pick. Oh my. Results were just announced a few minutes ago. I pulled them from here. The top five:
Of course this bears no resemblance at all to the top five nationally. But that’s Iowa for you. And of course the straw poll is not the caucus either. |
