cheap tricks
There are those Fridays that happen every now and then that bring about some intensely exciting. When you can’t stand being at work and await solely the pleasures of the night. That’s not exactly how I would describe my Friday, yesterday, but it was something like it.
I went to Jeremiah’s flat to hang out for the night. I tested out my WiFi and was very pleased; one less thing to worry about on move-in. J and I video chatted with Bryan for a while (I would link Bryan’s site, but apparently it’s super secret and only the elite have access to it). But yeah, video chatting is supreme.
Then Rianna dropped by and with the help of Subway cookies and Sony stereo, we started the movie for the night. I selected E. T. - The Extra Terrestrial, one of my all-time favorites and also one J had not seen. The movie goes so deep if you look, but so many people pass it off as a cheap children’s film that divulges their little imaginations. How foolish and shallow! E. T., as in the film, shows the superficiality of American living and how our individualistic mindsets have skewed the concept, structure, and reality of life. So yeah, I love this film. And the soundtrack is to-die-for. Yeah.
Adam stopped by near half-way through the film. Once that was over and the tissues were passed around, at least for one-fourth of our viewing audience, we got back to computer-geeking. Adam brought over his ultimate Powerbook and new iSight. So again we video chatted with Bryan (who’s link still remains anonymous) and it was a fun time. I was sure to bring my new Canon over for plenty of stills and video clips as mementos for my away-college living. Ahhh, life is grand.
So I left there with a great appreciation for togetherness and a delightful attachment to Mozilla Firebird.
Then this morning I did some shopping and found no success on my searching for My Girl on DVD. Apparently, I’ll be Amazon.com-ing in the near future.
After some minor whining from others, I have decided to soon refurbish my website and offer more color contrasts. Perhaps, I’ll go easy on the blue for a while.
Ok, let’s see. Then I saw 2 Fast 2 Furious this afternoon. Let me set the record straight, the only reason I went to see this movie is because #1 I had the time, and #2 I love watching non-Nascar-affiliated vehicles move fast. I admit that’s more than one reason, but they work collectively. The movie isn’t good at all, and much of the racing is computer generated, so it was very much a dissappointment. I was hoping for some better video panning of the cars, but apparently due to the complex computer implementations already, they could only zoom out so far until they had to then build computer-generated backgrounds as well. ::sigh:: I suppose it was worth just a dollar. 2.3 out of 10.
I’m working on getting plenty of pics added to the photograph section of this site, thanks to my handy-dandy camera. By the end of the next week, the amount should nearly double.
