Shindig

Last night, I called my dad at a little past ten to come pick me up. Russell offered to wait with me until my dad got there. It seemed like he was taking a long time. Because our cell phones are out of service, I wondered if maybe something happened. Around 11:30, I called home again with Russ’s phone. The car wouldn’t start. Good times. Russell gave me a ride home. Thanks man.
And Joseph reminded me today that I missed something important in my latest bowling entry. While we were driving to Gable House, Joseph noticed something strange about a crossing guard. He was Snoop Dogg. At least, it seemed like he was. I think it was Russell who wondered if it’s a new show where celebrities are placed in crappy crossing guard jobs. But that might have been Joseph who thought of that too. I don’t know, I’m getting tired now.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

This “stupid comedy,” similar to Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story and Napoleon Dynamite, was very funny. I laughed very hard throughout the film. I usually don’t like Will Ferrell very much, but he played Ron Burgundy, an arrogant, man’s man, anchorman, very well. Veronica Corningstone, played by Christina Applegate, takes his job and becomes the first female news anchor in the United States. Jack Black, Ben Stiller, and Vince Vaughn all make uncredited appearances in the movie. I enjoy all of them, and the movie’s really great. There’s superhero spoofs, a great fantasy world interpretation of the emotions during sex, and the news team even breaks into song. And who doesn’t want to see five different news team battle it out in the streets of San Diego?

Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

Wow, this was really great. I’m glad to finally see it. I a short scene from Little Shop of Horrors done by CAMS Drama a couple years back, downloaded the album, and have loved it ever since. I assumed that I’d love the movie if I loved all the songs. Knowing that no one was within hearing distance of me, I sung (badly) along with the movie for all the songs. The scenes between songs were a great length. Before seeing it, I was worried that there’d be too much time between songs, but that wasn’t so. Rick Moranis played Seymour very well, and I enjoyed Steve Martin as the sadistic dentist, Orin. And Bill Murray played Arthur Denton. Interesting.
Jasmine IMed me while I was watching it and was planning on seeing it at the Ahmanson Theatre in L.A. Coincidences. I’d enjoy going to see it.

Hellboy

This movie was really lame. Now, it started off alright. I like storylines build upon the Nazis doing something stupid. In this movie, Nazis are trying to bring forth demons. I think the reason why I like when they’re used is because they’re just… really, really bad. I mean, we’ve had other enemies, but none like them. So when you mix something fictional in (summoning demons, fiddling with time travel, what have you), it makes for a great fictional enemy. Anyways, the movie goes downhill from there. There’s this secret government agency that uses ‘mosters’ like Hellboy to fight bad monsters. And of course, the guy who doesn’t like Hellboy gets saved by him and changes his opinion. And there’s a love story that isn’t very touching. It was all pretty predictable. Yeah, you really shouldn’t see this.

Napoleon Dynamite

This movie looked like complete crap to me, but because a large group of my friends thought it was good, I trusted them and watched it. I wasn’t dissapointed. Mind you, it’s now some mind-blowing, incredible, really-makes-you-think movie. It’s a really funny movie in the stupid movie sort of way. It’s about a teen named Napoleon Dynamite whose whole family are trashy rednecks, basically. Napoleon’s a complete loser. His friend Pedro is less of a loser (but still a loser) and wants to become school president. There’s also a loser chick in there, too, lol. Napoleon’s brother Kip is an Internet loser. “Napoleon, don’t be jealous that I’ve been chatting online with babes all day.” Later, Kip basically becomes black. The funny thing is while Napoleon is being a complete loser, some of his actions/comments are right on. He really reminded me of Carberry throughout the movie. Gonzales said that he thought Napoleon wasn’t just the stereotypical nerd, he was a realistic one. And we all know Gonzales sees a lot of nerds going through CAMS.

Meteor Shower

I had a dream last night that I was staying at some house on the top of a large hill / small mountain. Many of my family and friends were there too. I went to an industrial place, some sort of old, run-down factory or warehouse or something, with Hanah and Herbert, I think. We went to an area that used to be enclosed but had fallen apart and was now exposed to the outside. There were pipes and gears lying around. I notice a red hot rock skipped across the ground and skid to a stop. I couldn’t figure out what it was at first but after looking up, saw many more falling. It was a meteorite shower. I think my brother was with me at this point, but I also think there was some girl that I cared about there. I rushed to her to pull her back under shelter, because she wasn’t moving. I don’t remember what happened after that.

Entertainment To-Do List

I cleaned up and updated my To-Do List and renamed it to “Entertainment To-Do List.” It only had to do with entertainment anyways. I don’t know if I’ll keep it updated, but I removed the crap I don’t want to do. There’s a link to it on the left.

Outlook

Water is very tasty. Feeling a bit better.
All of my e-mail is sorted now. I have a huge, complex web of rules now to help sort incoming email. Mail being sent to my UCI account goes in the ‘UCI’ folder. Mail from certain UCI addresses (official stuff from them) goes in the ‘UCI’ folder. Mail with ‘[Titans04]’ in the subject go to the ‘Titans 04 Group’ folder. Mail from certain addresses goes in the ‘Personal’ folder. Mail being sent to specific addresses (because I receive anything sent to my domain / sub-domain) goes to ‘Junk E-mail’. Mail being sent from certain addresses goes to ‘Junk E-mail’. It’s working a lot better than before, but the default stuff wasn’t working well enough. Hopefully this’ll all work.
Wow, this was a lot easier to write than that last entry an hour ago.
