Wooh. Sunday, aka: Homework Day.

Wooh. Sunday, aka: Homework Day. I got my sequential work done today. It was a water-color assignment believe it or not. It actually turned out well. Lauren stayed over for a good portion of the day and got her work done as well. It was a nifty little “homework party.” That is, if homework can be called a party.

We also watched Ali at some point in there. It was good, very good infact. Very well made, great acting… long as shit. It was like watching a copy of Tale of Two Cities. It was so long winded I fast forwarded a few parts and didn’t miss a thing. As much as I appreciate the wonderful cinamatography, and don’t get me wrong, it was fantastic, I just can’t see any reason for a ten minute jogging scene set to music. Let alone 4 or 5 of them.

On the exact opposite end of the “long winded” scale was SpiderMan, which we saw yesterday. It was also quite good. Not spectacular, but good. I’ve never been a fan of “blockbusters” but this was entertaining at least. It was well made and in my opinion one of the truest to the comic movies to date. That doesn’t excuse the bad acting of Kirstin Dunst, whos only apparent acting attribute is looking mildly attractive in a wet t-shirt. It also didn’t make me feel any emotion whatsoever. Even when Uncle Ben is killed. Nothing. There was no dramatic music, no emotional response from characters. And don’t feed me some line about McGuires “crying” because I’ve cried more after putting Visine in my eyes. But, it was still entertaining, and not half bad.

7.5/10 for SpiderMan, 8.5 for Ali.

Welp, another day gone. Today

Welp, another day gone. Today Lauren and I will catch the 1pm SpiderMan in hope of not drawing a large growd. We heard that all the later showing last night were sold out, so we decided to shoot for a matinee in hope there would be that many people. I already grabbed the tickets from Fandango.com, so we’re good to go. Now all I can hope for is that there’s not a lot of children at the showing. Not that they’re any more or any less annoying than their redneck parents. It’s just something to hope for. That’s about it for interesting stuff. The computer is on its way, work is piling up. Same old, same old. Later.

Wow. My order was placed, verified and shipped all within 8 hours. NewEgg.com rawks! New ‘puter here I come. Anyone have any suggestions on how to test out this baby once it gets here? Games that have awesome effects/graphics? Cool programs? Anything?

You know… after years and years, Penny Arcade still make me laugh… especially Gabe’s “Big List of Idiotz!” Hehehe.

Song stuck in Matt’s head. Arg. At least it’s a good tune.

hey
don’t write yourself off yet
it’s only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
just try your best
try everything you can
and don’t you worry what they tell themselves when you’re away

do your best
do everything you can
don’t you worry what their bitter hearts are going to say
