Just Watched: “World’s Greatest Dad”

Feb 10th

I just finished watching “ World’s Greatest Dad,” written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait and starring Robin Williams.

I was surprised to see some Seattle landmarks (most notably the Guild Theater), and it turned out to be a pretty good film.

True, the son is a total douchebag (as quoted from Robin Williams who plays the father), but that’s on purpose to the level of ridiculousness.

From time to time I get to watch movies at work while I’m coding away, and I’ve found that my productivity doesn’t get interrupted with a movie on my second screen – if anything, it helps me keep “in the moment” of my programming.

I’ve got to say, Bobcat did a dynamite job directing (great soundtrack, too), even getting a cameo in, but the “ghost” scene wasn’t my favorite. Can’t win ‘em all, right?

Wanted: Personal Puppetmaster

I need assistance with my life. Obviously the choices I’ve made over the years have not had positive results.

Yes, I’m married, but things could be better. Yes I have a fantastic job, but my work/life balance is non-existent.

Are you in your mid-thirties? Have you had success with you romance, employment, finances – enough so that you feel comfortable guiding me through my headaches?

Come join me as a personal puppetmaster; make my decisions for me, in love, finances, employment, time, hobbies.

Coordinate with my darling wife as to what’s best for me, using your experience as a base.

Salary to be discussed based on my ability to put my life in your hands, and how responsible you perform.

This is an ongoing project, hopefully self-terminating (meaning: I’d love to get to a point where I can manage my life on my own, without your help).
