If I’m vague I leave a little bit of mystery

This weekend was pretty uneventful though it might not seem that way after the next sentence. It involved the following: working, eating with friends, seeing an old friend, buying the new Thrice album, hanging out at Wal-Mart, eating cookie dough and Stove Top, flesh spoon, listening to the new Thrice album, working some more, hanging at the mall, watching Lara Croft, sweet revenge, a couple of monsters, a psycho seamstress, Um Jammer Lammy, church, The Talented Mr. Ripley 2: Electric Boogaloo, and more Um Jammer Lammy. It was not necessarily in that order but probably was. There was some stuff left out but they were left out to protect the living and the dead.

The Reviews

The new Thrice album is good. It’s not as good as the two that came before, but still very enjoyable. The box design and liner notes make me glad I bought it and didn’t download it. It’s such a simple way of adding value to the cd but it seems way better than some of the enhanced cds I have bought.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life can be summed up by the following quote from my eloquent brother: “She wins. There, I just saved you two boobless hours.” Though I have to disagree in that Angelina Jolie has boobs and I think I might have seen a peek at an areola.

What can I say about Monsters Inc. that hasn’t been said about all Pixar movies? I had already seen it before and I thought that it was extremely funny. Now that I am seeing again I can’t help but compare it to Finding Nemo (which to my amazement and delight was referenced in this movie) and must say that Finding Nemo is much funnier. That is a testament to how funny Finding Nemo is, though, so if you have yet to see either of those movies then you should really rush to your local video store and/or movie theatre.

May is a weird movie. It is not scary. It is not really thrilling. It’s just weird and sort of funny but not haha funny if you know what I mean. I still enjoyed it. I guess I like weird too.

Um Jammer Lammy is an incredibly addictive Playstation game that I had not played before for some reason that I fail to remember now. If you are into videogames and music or just really like pressing buttons then you need to check this game out. It makes me want to play more rhythm games, which is saying something since I have no rhythm.

Ripley’s Game is a good movie because of John Malkovich. It is impossible to not like John Malkovich. He is just so fucking cool. Malkovich makes me want to be Tom Ripley or maybe just be Malkovich. Now if only someone would make a movie about being John Malkovich. Did you see what I did there?

The moral of the story

This goes out to you-don’t-know-who. HE WOULD RATHER DO NOTHING THAN HANG OUT WITH YOU.

Welcome to the relaunch just another blog. There are an endless stream of these. Most are by people much smarter and with more interesting things to talk about than I do. Mine is also going to be very simple for though I consider myself computer literate I have never been able to master the art of html.

Why am I doing this?
That's a good question. The short answer is a low short moan and a shrug, which roughly translates to "I don't know." I don't have any particular views that I feel are important enough to you or anybody HAS to read them. I might be doing this to be trendy seeing as this ground is well-trodden. I had a couple of inspirations. You should check them out. Both of them more interesting and funnier than I could ever be.

Why should you read this?
See: short answer above. If you are someone I know you might be interested in reading how I feel about certain things that rarely get discussed by me in public mostly because they never come up. In this page I could talk about topics ranging from what I think about the president to what I think about Joey from Friends being the one to receive his own sitcom. I don't think of myself as Demosthenes or Locke so I don't hold any illusions that my writings will help me take over the world. I just need somewhere to vent. This might be a place you might want to visit if you are bored. I will sometimes provide links that I find amusing. So for now, COURAGE!
