3 Things
First, Borne Ultimatum was a great movie. I still don’t particularly like the fighting scenes, though I think they were a bit better than in previous attempts. Instead of speeding up the action, they just used close shots and lots of cuts. I also think this series had a large effect on the direction the new Bond films are going - less cheese, which is great.
Second, I picked up some poison ivy over the weekend. It sucks.
Third, I just wanted to make a list of linux apps I use the most. I’m going to try installing Kubuntu, and I need to install these first:
