Updating my life

Got the new phone set up, all i need is to plug in the numbers. Some point I'll go and get a wall charger too. I got a new version of firefox, and now i have this sexy new theme thats all black and red. The movie is coming along, we're talking about funding and stuff--no new real news on it since the last. We're meeting on saturday.

in the beginning of the year we had time warner cable which was crap but they had a student price of $93 for cable and interent. Then we switched to comcast they said, "More channels, price'll come down." Instead they decided to boost the shit out of our price without really telling us beforehand. It's real fucking lame.I don't have the time to deal witht his bullshit either.

Other than that, there's really nothing going on. We made abunch of retarded videos of us being retarded--it amuses many. I'll see if i can get brosef to send me a copy so I can put it up here.

Update

So Bwana's blog got "lost" by the blogger people and when I was asked to do a lot of moving I thought that mine was going to go that way too. However I have successful made the move tot he new version of blogger (and remembered my password) and see almost zero change. Other than niftier (though less functional) buttons and front page and this new lables thing below--there's no real change.
Got back into the DVD collecting mindset and picked up The Departed, The Science of Sleep, and The Abyss Special Edition. My collection grows and now I merely await the release of the rest of the best films of 2006 so that I may purchase them.
I watched The Science of Sleep a few nights ago and was mesmorized by the production design and effects and loved the story--till the end. Where I leap up and screamed at my computer screen, "You Fucking Frog! Only a Frenchman would end a movie like that!" However for those who haven't viewed it get on it and check this thing out.
We finally had our meeting on the movie. Chris had to leave and after his departure Faulkner and I crafted a premis and the beginnings of a plot for the project. This could be big or it could be too big for us to actually make. The idea is phenominal and I'm extremely excited for what happens next.
The Roommate issue is finally abated and our good friend Nick Marchione will be living with us next term, howeevr his father understand our plight and will be giving us March Rent! Everyone has been elated and it seems like although this felt like the shortest weekend ever, a lot of great feats were accomplished.
However there's some shitty news, my phone basically stopped working and I paid a $50 fee for them to ship me a new one, my real mission is to somehow get some power into the old so that I can transfer all my numbers and maybe if I can get powered all the way I can get them to try and transfer all the pictures and shit I have on there.

The Superbowl

Well the superbowlw as real interesting the first half. You had Devin Hester running back a TD in the opening kick off and an absurd amount of turnovers. Then Prince hit and the game was over.

I was in a house filled with guys, from the North and the South--Left and Right Wingers. Filmmakers, Graphic designers, Sports Management Majors, Bio Majors, Engineering Majors and a dude who works for Lockheed Martin; and everyone agreed: This was the best halftime show any of us have ever seen.

I sat and watched as Prince created Performance art onthe single largest American Stage. He did a medley of covers he had a day-glo marching band, he played a solo in silhouette it was as if he was greating a big epic movie for you while he eprformed. he turned that stage into Purple Raain two, editing scenes together for the best emotional reation. Then Payton Manning won the superbowl MVP and we randomly have a cat in my house. It's name is "Coldplay," but you have to pronounce it as if you are the South Philly Italian Plumber "Eddie de Kook."

SOME KID: Hey, what's the Cat's name?
ME: Caowld Plahae, Caowld Plahae. Uh Luv um, luv um.

Jeez

It's rain out; I locked my keys in my car; I have a million things to do and we're all so busy that no one notices that the world is coming to an end.

Listening to NPR whilst doing all the errands I needed to do today I heard about how:

1. Global Warming is so bad that It will continue for centuries regardless of what we do to change it.

This means that all those eco-concervatives will probably through their hands up in the air and say, "Well if there's nothing we can do then fuck it."

2. An intelligence committee has released a report saying that Iraq isn't in Civil War, in fact a Civil War would be an upgrade.The nation is actually fighting about 4 or so wars in various parts of the country, 2 of which are Civil wars the other two involve insurgents and Al-Quaeda.

Various states are trying to lease their lotteries to the private sector, hoping to complete the total switch to Corpratocracy by the year 2025. I guess I'll be living in the Corporate Republic of Viacom in my later years.

And no one cares it seems.

But I wish that I could actually talk to President Bush face-to-face, man-to-man, and I would say this:

Fuck you. You're acting like an asshole. Just fucking do it. I don't give a fuck about your agenda or if an angel came down from heaven and said unto you "Thou must increase Tax Refunds for Wheat Farmers by .004% in the next Fiscal Quarter."

Just shut the fuck up and fucking fix this. Stop all the emissions causing global warning. Figure out a way to fix Iraq, let there be Stem Cell research and GIVE ME MY MOTHERFUCKING CIVIL LIBERTIES BACK.

And while he stutters like porky pig, dumbfounded that someone actually talk to him like a real fucking kid, I'm gonna give Carl Rove a stone cold stunner--because he should be in jail right now and he's not which is just the Administration not even trying to hide the fact that they don't comply with the laws of this nation anymore.

Bush is going to be like my former roommate Skip, he's like Herpes, every time you think you have it beat another outbreak comes and give you an oozing cold sore.

On another note, the Marvel Civil War event that has been going since last summer is basically commenting on our world metaphorically with the Super Hero Registration Act.

essentially what happens is a group of Superheroes called the New Avengers get a reality show and to get ratings they go after a group of Super villains the fight ends up with a villain called Nitro destroying most of Stamford, Connecticut (good.) killing 600--even worse is that the blast was next to an elementary school. This leads to a big broo-ha-ha where the people ask for a law that requires hooded vigilantes (non-powered Batman types), Super human heroes (Hulk, Spider-Man Etc.) and Mutants (X-Men, who already have to register under the Mutant Registration act) must register with the U.S. Government and give their real names, family, Social Security, Address etc. and they will be regulated by the government--those who register join S.H.I.E.L.D. and hunt those who don't. This comic brilliantly shows the struggle between those who want more security (pro-registration) and those who want more civil liberties (anti-registration). In a brilliant twist Captain America rejects registration and along with Nick Fury (a secret agent with S.H.I.E.L.D.), Dare-Devil and others creates a resistance movement. Whilst Iron Man, Spider Man and Mr. Fantastic are par of the early pro-registration Heroes.

On last nights Scrubs they tried to show the hot button issues of Iraq, etc. tearing the hospital apart--however it seemed out-of-character and poorly done. I think that this Comic Event is actually one of the best political satires on the issues of today I've seen. All from cartoons about guys in spandex.
