A random update of sorts

Friday, June 6, 2008 · 2 Comments

So all this week I have been home all alone because my car was getting fixed.  My mom and sister were in Syracuse, and I had no way of getting to work, so I had nothing but World of Warcraft, Kamen Rider, and my cigarettes to keep me sane.  Finally got my car back today and it’s still acting up.  Also, in the course of “fixing” it, my radio reset itself and now I can’t find the security code.  Great.

I geeked out for a bit yesterday, and installed ubuntu on the broken PC.  I love how linux handles the NIC flawlessly, while windows continues to not acknowledge it, even after running the driver install.  Thanks Microsoft!  Even got it to share the printer with my Macbook Pro, which is great!

Tonight was really the first social interaction I’ve had all week, which was interesting.  Photo editing the yearbook will be kind of cool.

Tomorrow I am off to Atlanta for my cousin’s wedding.  So follow me on twitter if you care about those kinds of things.  By the way, if you don’t have a twitter account at this point (which means everyone but Elyse), then you are officially behind the times.  Facebook and blogs are like so 2 years ago.  Get with the times already!

I got the new Weezer CD today, along with the bonus tracks (not all of them, only the 4 US tracks and one of the UK tracks).  I love how every time they make a new album, I am reminded of how hard they rock!  I plan on listening to this while I wait for my plane tomorrow.  Apparently they play around with roles in this, with Rivers playing drums on at least one of the songs.  Should be interesting.

Other things?  Kamen Rider Hibiki has changed my life.  No really, it has struck me.  I love how a dumb kids show from japan that revolves around transforming super heroes and fighting demons can have such a powerful message in between all that.  I think it really has helped me with what I have been feeling lately.  If you watch only one imported japanese tokusatsu series, make it hibiki.

What else?  Call me sometime?  I’m free most weekends, and usually bored.  Need to see some old faces this summer

Girl, where’s your head full of lead?
Can’t you see what you’re doing to me?
Wipe that disgrace off your face
Look and see what you’ve done to me

Girl, you look bored
I wish everything about the danger wouldn’t make you such a stranger
So what’s the deal?
Don’t you feel what i’m dealing with?
But it’s alright
Girl, come on, I’ll show you how to deal with this.
But not tonight cause…

Girl, you look bored
I wish everything about the danger wouldn’t make you such a stranger
Hold me so close
I can tell you have the best intentions, one of those simple inventions
Never a dull situation, we could just stay on vacation

Never start an argument with you
Something I won’t do

Girl, you look bored
I wish everything about the danger wouldn’t make you such a stranger
Hold me so close
I can tell you have the best intentions, one of those simple inventions
Now that I have your attention

Intersellaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. I’ve recently discovered this movie, and I think its awesome for so many reasons.

Firstly, It tells a story with no dialog at all. The entire movie is set to the Daft Punk album “discovery”, so it’s all synced up to the music. If you’ve ever watched a Daft Punk music video and wondered “who are these smufry people and what is going on?”, it’s because all the videos from that album were taken straight from the movie.  And on top of that, the CD by itself is awesome. I can’t stop listening to it after watching this movie. And the whole thing looks great.

As far as the story goes, it is utterly ridiculous when you think about it, but I don’t think it was ever supposed to be realistic.

Check this movie out!
