I have impulse control issues when it comes to shopping. The fact that the Rennaisance Festival is just a big shopping mall leads to... questionable choices. But my new toy is shiny.

I can't remember the last time I did a double feature that wasn't at Oak Street. Rachel and I had plans to hit an early showing of Inception but by the time we got there the show was sold out. So we instead went to Predators. It was an entertaining action flick and has left me sort of wanting to rewatch the first two. Adrian Brody did a better ( Read more... )

I decided to track the movies I watch this year, and was sort of shocked back in May when I realized the only movie I'd seen in the theater in 2010 was Big Fan. Since then I've seen more, but the only things that have been worth the money were not Hollywood productions (The Good, The Bad, The Weird, Micmacs, OSS 117: Lost in Rio, and WarlordsI've ( Read more... )

I answered my phone today even though I didn't recognize the number. I'm working from home and wasn't sure if it might have been work related. I found the conversation sort of funny ( Read more... )

Is this really necessary?

It's the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back today. I think I need to watch the trilogy on my new big tv to celebrate. I'll have to figure out where I put the dvd copies I picked up that have the original version (or the least-fucked-with versions). In trying to make space for the tv alot of my dvds were pulled from shelves and are now ( Read more... )

T-Mobile has messed up my account somehow. The phone says I have no service, but all my web stuff works. What's really frustrating is their only options for support are calling or chatting on the web. Why can't I send an email? I have plans for the evening and don't want to have to chat to get a solution ( Read more... )

I wanted to watch a bluray movie last night to try out the new tv and settled on Sukiyaki Western Django, which is Takashi Miike's take on the spaghetti western genre. It seemed strange that all the actors are Japanese (except Quentin Tarantino) but were speaking English, until I remembered why they're called spaghetti westerns. Now I want to ( Read more... )

I picked up Blooddrunk at Best Buy last night. I like Children of Bodom, but they have ALOT of cover songs on their albums. It's pretty good, but hasn't managed to dislodge Seediq Bale by ChthoniC from my car's cd player. I feel less bad not being able to understand lyrics knowing that they're in Mandarin. Plus, it's hard to not like a band ( Read more... )

So I thought I might have gone a bit overboard when my last trip to Best Buy to pick up one cd resulted in me leaving with a memory card for my phone, a video game, and five cds. Best Buy sent me a thank you email with an explanation of why it might take a couple days before all my new reward zone points become available in my account ( Read more... )
