So, Daybreakers? Pretty good. The performances are good, the cinematography is pretty excellent, and since I don't get to say this much, the titles were pretty great too. The story itself is kind of a heavy-handed euphemism for the energy crisis, but the action is good, the dialogue is not terrible and the cinematography is nice. I have my ( Read more... )

So, I've figured that since I am back in Buffalo, I am going to start using this thing again ( Read more... )

So I didn't go to work today, because there is too much to deal with, and I could just make it all up on Monday. And instead, I just drove. I think I drove to Grand Island, but I'm not sure, because I was more interested in the journey than the destination. By the by, that destination -- or rather eventual stop -- was some strip mall or outlet ( Read more... )

So, I have a job interview on friday. This is the closest I have come to something real to take me out of Schindler since I got the flu in November. Sorry, bad joke.

But I am hopeful, partially because apparently this job would come with the A+ certification, not require it forthright. Here's hoping.

So, I went to see Orphan last night, and I have to say that despite a third act collapse and a really silly plot twist that was about as useful and necessary to the story as a Mozart Sonata is to the youngest child in the movie, I really liked it. It boasted the best cinematography I have seen in a mainstream American release in years, favored ( Read more... )

Neil Gaiman is a fucking genius. All you need to do is read one book and one short story by him and see that they are totally fucking unrelated and brilliant on so many levels that the level of his intellect and creativity is staggering. For example, compare Anansi Boys to Babycakes. One is a wonderfully accessible story about two brothers who ( Read more... )

So, I've decided that I am going back to school to get my master's degree. I need out of Schindler like a man with diabetes and lactose intolerance needs out of a cheese and sugar packaging plant. Although I have not yet decided what I am going to take, it will either be english (some variation, possibly education, possibly creative writing), ( Read more... )

So, my lease ends on September 13th. If I am still at Schindler when that day rolls around, my options are as follows: return to Buffalo with no car and no job, stay at schindler, or stay in Albany with no job and no car. Translation: not a good option in the bunch ( Read more... )

So, I saw Night at the Museum 2 last night. It felt like I was going to meet and old friend, and was really excited, until I got to his house, and it was clear that someone had killed him, skinned him, was wearing his body as a suit and still wanted to entertain me. Except I wasn't sure if he really wanted that or was just biding his time until ( Read more... )

I would be Ben Folds.

The guy looks like an average bloke, is talented as all fuck, can play any instrument under the sun, is one of the best songwriters on the planet, is a top selling artist with little to no airplay and despite all of his fame and musical ability, can still go anywhere without being recognized.

That is all.
