"Crank" is by far the most disappointing movie I've seen in a long time. I haven't wanted to walk out of the movie theater so badly since I saw "It's Pat!" However, since movies cost a lot of money, I decided to stay for closure. They destroyed a potentially good story with rough editing, edgy cuts and poor dialogue. I just can't appreciate that ( Read more... )

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;       

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there

I've been going to the movies a lot more lately.

Last night, I saw "A Scanner Darkly." There were moments where I really didn't want the movie to end, not because I wasn't getting answers but rather because it was amazing to watch.

It's tough since I don't intend to move down here for a few more months, but this gives me a better understanding of the geography. I have a job opportunity in Santa Monica, however, housing in this area is mind-numbing. No amount of ( Read more... )

"Oh Whacking Day! Oh Whacking Day!
Our hallowed snake skull-cracking day!
We’ll break their backs, gouge out their eyes.
Their evil hearts, we’ll pulverize!"

Yesterday, I conquered one of my social phobias: going to the movie theater alone ( Read more... )

The fixed gear is finally done. There were a few moments where I thought it wasn't going to work, but here it is. It all started with an old frame, and everything was built up by me. I did most of the dirty work on the paint job, and my boss painted the lugs and dusted them with metal flake before spraying the clear coat. The whole bike shimmers in ( Read more... )

My washing machine is broken. For the first time in my life, I am dependent on a laundromat. That shit can get expensive, yet I learned just how large of a load one machine can really take.

There's something awe-inspiring about listening to Simon and Garfunkel while watching your laundry tumble about.

I often wish I were homeward bound.
