I don't go Ka-Frickin'-Boom!

Get Smart
One word... Hilarious,  I don't care who you are this movie is great.  A pleasant departure from the usual seriousness of spy movies.  I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.  It's a great movie and you won't be disappointed.  I really don't feel like giving a detailed plot synopsis, so just watch this trailer and trust me when I say you will love Get Smart... a fantastic revival.



Total Recall
Ah-nuld plays an average man in the future who turns out to be a spy, who turns out to not be... Look, it's confusing and I'm sure I missed at least 15 minutes due to sleep... that's what I get for starting a 2 hour movie at 11:30.  plus, I can't take Ah-nuld seriously,  I just can't, which made it funny, but go see Get Smart instead.




So that's the past two days of movies... PLEASE DON'T see Love Guru, just don't...   I'm on my mac, and in my room right now... it's wild!  So yeah, I saw Get Smart today with Travis Brad and Tori, and we had a swell time, during that time Mom was kind enough to pick up "We Were Here" by Joshua Radin at Best buy today and it's really good.  My breakfasts have gotten depressing, as I've run out of quick breakfasts that don't require a lot of work, so I've been snacking on Smoked Bacon Pringles until lunch time...

Now I picked up a book called "A Thousand Paths to Tranquillity" at mom's store the other day, it's really a small coffee table book, but it's got a lot of good stuff in it, they're just like short quotes, but it always seems to help me calm down when I'm feeling stressed, or freaking out for one reason or another, so I think I'm going to start closing my posts with such quotes, because who knows, maybe they'll help some one out some time.  This one I find to be particularly true...
A quiet mind is the best cure for a low mood.- 1000 paths to Tranquility

I've found that lately when I'm stress, or feeling down for one reason or another, it really helps that I take a walk, clear my head, and maybe come to a revelation or two, and in the process end up making things seem much better than they did before.

Until tomorrow, good night and good luck!

Woo!

I have internet running on my Mac now!

I'll have a review of TOTAL RECALL up later today, but now, I need to head out to the movies to see GET SMART with some pals.

What the hell did I watch last night!?!

Okay, so yeaterday I pick up 3 movies from the Thrift Store on Main Street... They included, Total Recall, Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, and an odd David Cronenburg film called Naked Lunch...

Okay, so I watched Naked Lunch last night, expecting one of those really bizzare sci-fi movies I tend to get pulled into. Unfortunatly I got an extremely bizzare sci-fi movie that just didn't pull me in, I think it was because the main character just seemed to accept everything that happened, there wasn't much suspense, and I tend to get more pulled in when the person fights back against the bizzare reality, but that never really happened. To give you an idea of what I got into, here's the IMDB plot summary...

Exterminator Bill Lee finds himself following his wife into an addiction to the
bug powder he uses. After accidentally killing her, he descends into a
hallucinatory existence in which he imagines himself a secret agent answering to
a series of bizarre creatures. He channels his energies into writing "reports"
on his delusional mission, while trying to break his addiction. The story
loosely reflects events in the life of author Burroughs as he wrote the novel.

So yeah, I don't really think I can recomend this one, it's just far to out there. I'm going to put this on a re-visit later list, maybe I'll like it more if I watch it in a few months but for now, it's just to out there. Here's the trailer...






On another note, today's yet another free summer day, and I don't know what to do with it... I ordered a 50 ft. Ethernet cable yesterday so I can finally get internet on my iMac without bringing it downstairs, but that won't come in the mail today (I'm hoping friday maybe). But if anyone has an idea for what to do today let me post a Beatles song below that may give you instructions on what to do...

Yeah... so if anyone wants to hang out or something give me a call. (oh and this doesn't apply for just today, you can allow it to work for the majority of the summer).

Apple, you never cease to impress me...

Look at how small this notebook is

I am impressed, had I had a giant need for a laptop, I'd probably pick this up, however I have an iMac so I'm doing fine right now. But needless to say, awsome.

Also the ATP show today went great, maybe I'll have videos later... hmm.

Mac OS X Leopard, and stuffs.

So Apples coming out with Mac OS X Leopard. And I'm thinking come on Apple, I haven't even been able to set up the internet on my Mac. So while I'm deffinatly considering buying my family a new router, you decide to put out some whole new update to the Mac software, that costs $129!?! While a router would cost around $90. Not to mention there are some pretty sweet games comming out this fall. ARGG!!! Although Smash Bros did get puched back so that's one less thing to worry about.

Speaking of things costing money, I am working extra this week so that should help some. I work 4-9 on Tuesday, I work 4-9 tonight, I'm covering for Danniel tomorow so she can go to Homecomming (because I'm such a gentleman), and I work from 8-4 Saturday Morning because I'm going to See Colin Mocherie and Brad Sherwood that night. What a crazy week.

To add onto the crazyness, I have Lines to memorize, The entire novel "Frankenstien" to read and write an essay about before Halloween, and well I have no idea what else, but it's deffinatly there.

NEW OFFICE, EARL AND, 30 ROCK TONIGHT!!! NEW SCRUBS NEXT WEEK!!! But the next 2 SNLs are reruns from this season, BooHoo.:(

Oh Stephen Colbert's running for president, and you all better vote for him, or America may very well be screwed come 09, he's pretty much the ONLY man for the job. And when I say that don't point to Hillary Clinton, because don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a woman president, just please, a woman who isn't her.

Well I think that's a sufficiant blog for today.
