"People should not be afraid of their governments...

...governments should be afraid of their people."
-V, V for Vendetta

We saw V for Vendetta this weekend, which was really good, though it did make me want to punch a Republican in the face. It's by the same people who did the Matrix, but without any of the pseudo-religious philosophy. Instead, it just has political philosophy, which is fine by me. Plus, it's based on a comic by Alan Moore. What's not to like?

Other than that, the weekend was rather pedestrian. I'm not playing LARP anymore--at least not for a bit--and that's that.

My annual performance review is coming up soon at work. We'll see how that goes. It's hard to imagine that I've already been there a year. I guess it's true what people say about time passing more quickly the older you get.

I love how they had to explain Guy Fawkes in the beginning, because they just COULDN'T leave the bit explaining his mask out for American audiences. I mean, I understand why they had to, but I still thought it was a bit out of place. I still loved the movie, though.
