14 hours down, 14 hours back.
actual time spent awake in Myrtle Beach : 10 hours
The concert was really good. A band called Drums and Tuba ( http://www.drumsandtuba.com/ ) openend the show and worked some kinda weird magic. If you ever get a chance to see them, I highly recommend it. Then it was time for Les Claypool to play, but some guy in a mask came out...we didn't know if it was Les or not, but then he made the bass guitar he had make some really strange noises, so I yelled out 'Hey! That's Les Claypool'. He musta heard me, so he took off his mask and played for 2 1/2 hours. They ended the show with a cover of an old Pete Gabriel song called Intruder, that was awesome. I wished I coulda stayed another night because Ministry was playing tonight, but we hadda leave so that stunk.

I was walking home from the bus stop and was approached by two young guys in suits with name tags reading "elder lastname" so when the guy reached out to shake my hand and introduced himself I knew right away who they were and that they weren't going to try and mug me. The first thing he asked me was if I believed in god and then we stood there on the sidewalk for the next twenty minutes having a great theological discussion about our respective religious and spiritual beliefs.
I was honestly expecting them to prosyletize (sp) and preach at me but the guy was extremely friendly and seemed to respect my beliefs. When he realized I wasn't going to acknowledge Jesus Christ as the one son of God we went our separate ways and that was that but it was really fun to have that discussion, and I'd like to think we gave each other something to think about.

The only problem I had was the COMPLETE AND UTTER SPOILER ENDUCED MATRIX RELOADED PREVIEW. Usually I love the previews, sometimes more than the movie itself. But I don't want to see 99% of the cool stuff from the Matrix. Fockers.

Why did Stryker build Cerebro2? Once they did the assault on the mansion, and had access to the original Cerebro, couldn't he have used it instead of building the second one?
A few people have commented that Nightcrawler could have saved everyone at the end by teleporting them to a nearby hilltop (which i didn't see, even on a second viewing, but it's entirely possible that i missed it). I seem to remember the comics saying that it was painful for Nightcrawler to teleport others, which would be a good explanation for why he didn't do that, except for the fact that he teleported other people all of the time in the movie. :|

There was some weird stalker person going around injecting people with some kind of lethal toxin. I was at work, and we were all talking about it. Then one of the guys says, "Yeah, you should see what he did to Wolfanoz." And we look out the 2nd story window and Wolfanoz is suspended in mid-air outside the building. Then I saw this one guy walking away, trying not to be suspicious looking. And I was like, "Holy fuck, that's alcueso -- its HIM! He's the one!" He sees me look at him, and starts to run for the door. I charged him, knocked him over, grabbed his arms and sat on him and yelled for the others to call security. (Heh, I must think I'm really strong in my dreams or something.)
Anyway, I sat there for what seemed to be forever, but it was probably 5 or 10 minutes and FINALLY the security guards & some police officers showed up. They searched alcueso and his belongings and found 60 syringes filled with this poison stuff -- apparently I figured it out just in time, as he was about to go on a massive attack... and then I woke up...
Weird stuff, eh?

Also, there's a cool little preview (albiet with lots of speculation) on diabloii.net here: http://diabloii.net/items/v110/index.shtml#info
There's actually an "unnamed set" in the game. Where you don't see that it's a set. And you don't get the bonuses as though it's a Set until you complete the entire thing. Flip through some of the new items that leaked and looking for what would go together. Completing the set is damn near impossible. No one has ever legitly done it, even in the test realm. It's coming in v1.10.
Pretty amazing stuff if you ask me.
