Just sucked! Horrible. Too much crap about stem cells and god and some stupid sick kid and forgiveness and such, and not enough about investigations of wackiness! The movie sucked! Just sucked!

My PI says frequently that more papers will, in turn, result in more employment options. The new X-Files was pretty interesting. I liked the stand alone story/MotW format (when we left the movie the other day, my wife asked me, "Wasn't it supposed to be about aliens"). Didn't Scully look odd with really long hair?

And yes, I am looking very much forward to the X-Files movie! Unless you are publishing in Nature or Science, your skill is judged by the number of papers.

It's hard to be a good chemist when you're forced to quantify work for the sake of publishing. The End Begins is pretty good, but Tantric's first album was much better. After We Go was a steaming pile. My boss only cares about the # of papers because his boss only cares about the # of papers, and so on.

I had a similar experience the other day when I saw some of Larry Miller's stand up for the first time. According to him, his father had three jobs and went to school at night. I realized then that my work ethic could clearly be a little better. Looking at my desk, it's littered with papers and assorted odds and ends. I find myself getting work done in the library or at coffee shops just to get away from the distraction of my desk! We all have bad habits but we have to do more than just admit to them.
