Book Review – Brad Thor – Takedown

I just finished Takedown by Brad Thor. I give it a solid ‘don’t bother’. It was your standard U.S. elite commando guy kills the bad guys. Honestly the sequence at the end where said good guy kills the top bad guy (boss level?) was particularly evil. Maybe I don’t have as much a taste for these types of things anymore but I thought it was too over the top – too black and white. It wasn’t enough for the bad guy to just be a terrorist, he had to be of middle eastern descent, had to be homosexual and the icing on the cake – a pedophile. How many ways can we hate him? Let us count! I recall liking most Vince Flynn books I’ve read so maybe just not a big Brad Thor fan.

My rating – 3/10.

Whassup with this game?

I thought this was a strange game to have at the mini-golf place. The idea was to hit the button when the lights came around – pretty stupid (as most of the new ‘arcade games’ go). I just didn’t see the appeal or tie-in to the Titanic.

Lovely Day

For some reason I have this song going through my head today:

Lovely Day

Which of course was famously featured in The State episode Bimini Underpants (apologies for the poor quality):

Jerry @ WWDC

Always a good chance to see old friends at WWDC. I told him to pose as this would be the picture I would see on my iPhone when he calls me.

Out in SF

Went out Monday night after dinner with my customers to a WWDC party. This was some bar near where we had dinner. Lots of geeks drinking it up.

Dahlia and booties

The other day Dahlia was getting ready for bed. Monti comes in after taking a bath, naked.

D:”DON’T CHANGE IN HERE!!!!!”
M: (ignores her)
D:”DON’T CHANGE IN HERE!!!! I DON’T WANT TO SEE YOUR NAKED BOOTY. WHEN I SEE NAKED BOOTIES IT MAKES ME LAUGH AND I GET SAD WHEN I LAUGH!!!!!!”

She was dead serious.

In other news, Lumpy is doing very poorly. I don’t think he’s going to be with us much longer. So sad.
