15 days and no posts?!?! WTF

'Allo!

I'm still around, too damn busy to even think... sux0r!

But here I am, typing away, trying to think of something worth while to post and its not working very well. I'm at a loss.

We just had a speaker battle here at work... my boss walked in, started playing some metal type stuff, like Dragon Force or something, really loud so I obliged and played Six by All That Remains, super extra loud... luckily no one else is in the office yet, since he is across the hallway from me, but it was awesome none the less.

I haven't been watching too many movies lately, just finding the time and the ability to stay up past 9pm is tough these days. I did watch Becoming Jane with the wife last night. I think she just got the movie because Mr. Tumnus was in it...



But over all, I actually enjoyed the movie... probably because all the kids were asleep and I was sitting next to my wife.

I think ill end it here because, this whole post doesn't flow at all, it just sounds like some crazy ramblings about crap with no point at all. I'll try to be better at posting more with some quality content, please bear with me as I start to regain my ability to process information and think once again.


Good day to you.

Cold white crap that makes me angry.

I hate snow.

I'm done with it, I'm done trying to commute an hour in the fluffy white shiz.

I have not seen this much snow for a very long time. I do recall back in '83 snow fall like this (yea I know, I'm getting my old person stories started early). My parents have pictures of my brothers and I standing in our front yard with piles of snow taller than us AND the mail box. WTF? I also remember my dad having to shovel snow off the roof of the house so that it didn't cave in and kill us all.

Back in the day....

Well, I'm older now and realize how much it really sucks.

I'm tired of shoveling the drive way every other day and my wife probably is tired of it too. Ok, so you are probably thinking what kind of asshole makes his wife shovel the drive way?!? Not me. She goes out and does it of her own free will. I guess its a chance to get out of the house and let the kids play.


Time to switch out of rant mode and get on with something else...


So, I watched Superbad last night, not sure how I feel about it...

There was some funny parts, but overall, it wasn't as funny as people made it out to be. Sure, if you like hearing the word vagina, vag, vagi, penis, dick, wang (and whatever other variations there are) said a billion times along with the F word... good for you. Maybe back in my teen/early twenties years I would have thought this was funny. Not anymore.

I guess I have become more of a movie snob than I used to be. I just don't enjoy raunchy mindless joyride type movies anymore. I guess ill just stick with movies I might actually enjoy and get some kind of satisfaction out of watching... like an old school Kurosawa samurai flick.



I don't think this post has enough pictures... so here is one with a cat in makeup.

Its been awhile!

Hi.

I'm back.

I've been sick off my ass and working a ton... not a great combo espeically when its some weird upper repository thing thats borderline pneumonia... yay!

Anyways, I am here to share some comments on another flick I watched while on my deathbed.



Sunshine

It's a good time, you should watch it.

I wouldn't categorize this as a horror movie, more like suspense. For some strange reason I really enjoy movies that put the characters in isolated, desolate situations. Situations like being contained to a small area and cant do anything, or a big wide open space that no one is there except a select few people and some crazy situation that put them there in which caused everyone to disappear or leave (28 Days Later-ish).

What also helped was that I was in for some good Sci-Fi action, I have been lacking in this area for quite a while and this movie really did the trick.

Now I'm going to get too much into this movie because I would like you the reader experience it on your own. But I do have to say that the story does not lack, it kept me into it the whole time. Yes, at times it is predictable, but for me, I'm in it for the adventure and to see how the story unfolds, because there is a possibility that I will be surprised by some story twist or whatever.

One thing though, there is one part in the movie that kinda freaked me out, it was when they first arrive on Icarus 1, the flashlight part... you watch and you will know what im talking about.... its freaking awesome.



I'm open for some good movie suggestions, please let me know if you have any!

Thank you.
