Many random things

[norwich36]

I don't usually go to (non-work-related) social events during the week, but an old colleague was in town last night and talked me into going to see "Tropic Thunder," and I have to say I laughed my ass off. Really my favorite part of the whole thing was the fake trailers, especially the medieval gay monks with Toby McGuire and RDJ. I just about sprained something laughing at that. And they did such an excellent job of skewering every single Vietnam movie cliche. I went to the film for RDJ, who was completely excellent, but I have to agree with the people who said Tom Cruise was the best performance of the entire film. He could possibly even make me like him again if he continued to take roles that are so against type.




Now I have two completely unrelated requests for my all-knowing flist:

1. Anyone out there who is widely read in CW RPS, can you point me to some good stories with Jensen/Christian Kane or Jared/Jensen/Christian Kane? I have a friend looking for recs, and I don't usually read stories with Chris as a central character, so I'm at a loss.

2. Should I update to the latest version of Firefox, now that it keeps prompting me to every 12 hours or so? I know it doesn't work with LJ Hook, but that's not a big concern for me, but I've heard there's something wonky about the new address bar, or something? What are the pros and cons of switching?

Okay, I thought some more on it, and I know what you're talking about now. But it is different and better with then new Firefox. Maybe it's just shinier? I don't know, but I do love the new version a lot, all the way around. :)

Hmm. I just updated and so far I'm kind of hating it. It ate my delicious bookmarklets, and I can't figure out how to get them back, because the things delicious is telling me to do don't seem to correspond to the new toolbar. I don't suppose you've figured this out?

Never mind--I figured it out. It just took me a while because I couldn't quite figure out where things were on the new Firefox.
