I figure I should get to writing some blogs. I've kinda NOT been doin that.
I haven't been to the movies much, or renting DVDs (I get lots of DVDs from the library, so for the hell of it let's just call that "renting" a movie), but I've read a couple books and gone to some shows.
When I talk to folks about shows I go to locally, it becomes quite ( Read more... )

"Our experience is composed rather of illusions lost than wisdom acquired."

Read that lil bit from Joseph Roux earlier, and it helped me get to a point, which is- I hope to blog more this year. I hadn't done much lately. Most of the time, I feel stagnant... or dumb. I didn't feel like I had much to add to the conversation. Some of the time, I ( Read more... )

Just like last year, I got out to Pioneer Square for Tuba Christmas. Each year, around 200 players of tubas, souzaphones, and other large brass blowing type things come out and do Christmas music. I stayed for around 30 minutes last year, and this year lasted a bit longer. It is 1) ridiculously overcrowded, 2) way undermiked/ not loud enough, ( Read more... )

I saw I'm Not There. I liked quite a bit of it, but there's a couple things here n there that bugged me. I was maybe expecting more of a biography, or maybe just something a bit easier to get ahold of. I think this film is far from a "biopic"; I'm guessing it's as much a biopic as Across The Universe was, although I've only read about that one. It' ( Read more... )

...so I finally got my stuff sent to everybody. Sorry for the week-or-so delay to most of all of you (Ben, ya lucked out), but I was sending stuff to a couple other folks not involved in the LJ thing too-- had to look out for Chaz; he's the only person who comments on all my MySpace crap. Anyway, it's all sent. Also, check out my streamlined NEW LJ ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I had a lot of free time, and it being near winter time, I felt like walking a lot since it was a nice day, and there aren't gonna be too damned many more. I decided to walk to Vege Thai for lunch, and the library to pick up my Lou Reed CD holds.
Between Vege Thai and the library, I saw several signs for a lost cat. Mortimer. There was a ( Read more... )

For the first five people that reply to me and re-post this challenge, I will send you something. It might be something I've made, or something cool from my hidden stash, it might be a mix CD, a nice card or postcard from the library store I think you will enjoy, or something else that is awesome. Whatever it is, I promise that I will get it to you ( Read more... )

I just saw this movie- great movie. It's about a nice, humble family guy who's always finished runner-up at things in life trying to take the world record for Donkey Kong away from The Most Awful Arrogant Prick In The Entire World... whoa, let me amend that-- The Most Awful Arrogant Prick In The Entire World With The Most Obnoxious Hair Ever. And ( Read more... )

SAD SECTION:

01. Have you ever really cried your heart out?
No. I remember crying pretty hard a couple times, 12 years ago. I have cried since, but not much. It might be better for release of things if I had.

02. Have you ever cried yourself to sleep?
No. But as with #1, it might be better as catharsis than just feeling a pain of depression and not ( Read more... )
