catching up with rexbasior

We now officially have like five shirts left. Yeah, if you still want one, I can get it for you. I'll say this one more time - These things are cool. You would want this shirt anyway even if I wasn't just giving it to you. The girls' one looks like this. The guys' one looks like this. Post a message somewhere on the board if you want one.

clint happens

Clint is the latest addition to my apartment. Rhett and I were thinking about getting some bar stools, but we decided on Clint instead. We're hoping that his tallness will somehow bring more girls into our apartment. Clint's a pretty sensitive guy who enjoys Rage Against the Machine and the original Tom Green Show. His eyes are two different colors, but it doesn't make him more evil.

eye see

It's been a couple of months since I've had my eye surgery and I still see better than you do. I won't rub it in again.

the 411 on 311

My buddy Rhett was fortunate enough to win 311 tickets. I was fortunate enough that Rhett had already bought tickets for the show, so Clint and I freeloaded. We actually ran into Melissa, the chick who cut my hair last December at Bikini Cuts at the show with her husband. Just as an update, she doesn't work at Bikini Cuts anymore and now cuts hair in her home (fully clothed). She said she just got sick of wearing a bikini. I suppose everyone gets sick of their job after a while. I think I'm a much bigger fan of 311 now. Rhett and I were talking and we decided that 311 is so good because no other mainstream band sounds very much like them. When they came, they came original. Nirvana was great for the same reason. They started a huge trend, but they were never well emulated.

stiller crazy after all these years

Since being unemployed, I've been living in the theater near my apartment.

Spider-Man 2: Okay. I'm not really going to comment on it since that's all anyone is talking about and nobody needs my opinion about it.

Dodgeball: Wickedly inspirational. Don't stay to see what's at the end of the credits.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The best Harry so far. The most original and the best reason in the series to actually make movies out of the books. I've had disagreements with several of my friends about how faithful books should be to movies. I believe that movie adaptations should diverge from the books the come from in order to justify being made. If a movie is exactly like a book, its existence apart from the book is completely meaningless. I'm a huge fan of film, and I believe that a film should be an outgrowth, not a cut and paste.

King Arthur: Dull as dirt. I guess they tried to put on film some kind of historical legend about King Arthur rather than the mythical legend. Quite a tease. Quite a boring tease. What's the point of having a Merlin that doesn't do anything? Okay, remember what I said about source material? Well, we could do with a little of the cool stuff from the King Arthur legends we learned about in high school.

Napoleon Dynamite: You know those people who like to say "RANDOM!" whenever something funny happens? Well, all those people should see Napoleon Dynamite because they'll probably like it. Fortunately, I think all the randomness SORT OF pays off in the end.

Van Helsing: Kind of like King Arthur only funner! I liked Frankenstein's monster's lite-brite brain.

I got sick of seeing new movies, since most of them are so disappointing. So I rece ntly re-saw Mean Girls, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Starsky and Hutch. Seeing great movies a second time is a lot more fun than seeing movies a first time.

franz and fish and the end of the world

Also I finally turned in my Virgin card. By that I mean I got my free cd from the Virgin Megastore for buying ten other cds over the past few months. I think it was Franz Ferdinand that I bought. Groovy. I also nabbed an old Fishbone cd. Wicked killer. Also, speaking of audio, The Cure began their newest invasion of Earth at the end of last month. I'll talk about it next time.
