Saturday/Ukelele Melancholia

The work week is over! I am watching The Street Fighter with Sonny Chiba, while I prepare for my day.

Here are a few things I need to do today:

1. Drop of bedding at St Vinny's
2. Find more books to sell at Powell's online
3. Enjoy shopping around for more books/DVDS, etc (Axis and Allies pleeeeease?) at St Vinny's
4. Try and sell or trade clothing to Buffalo Exchange (I absolutely need a pair of shorts)
5. Groceries

Day off/Laundry/Cleaning/Priceless with Audrey Tatou

That up there pretty much sums it up. Can't wait to make this place sparkle and shine :))

God I love half-days

Worked 5-9 tonight. Watching Sion Sono's Noriko's Dinner Table and oddly compelled so far.

Tata for now.

Migraine 2.0

I still get it, every day. It starts slow, and it builds. Some days I can't believe how bad it gets. It is truly hard to deal with. I have started to build some legacy though. Integrity is what it is all about.

My good friend Michelle and her husband/fiance are in town. I can't wait to see them. I am blessed to have her as my friend.

A quick side not on the NBA. Jordan saying that he wouldn't have reached out to Magic or Bird makes him a pretty big douchebag, in my eyes. Haha. I just can't believe him acting like he was trying to beat the best to be the best. Yeah, I can understand that, but seriously saying that could affect his legacy is so silly. Sacrificing money and this bullshit notion of being the best is part of what makes Lebron, Wade, and Bosh more special.

Kings' moves

Lebron in Miami, along with Wade, Bosh, Ilgauskas, Miller, Haslem, Chalmers, and their rookies from the draft. The Blazers lost Martell Webster, which is kinda sad, but what really concerns me is their (Paul Allen's) dismissal of Kevin Pritchard? I just can't figure it, and it seems such a raw deal. A little explanation would be nice.

The King and I was not very good, and I'm moving on to Winterbottom's The Claim. I have sooo much to do today, and so I'm going to get the whip crackin'.

The films and I

Watching Rodgers & Hammerstein's The King and I. Pretty lame. The king of Siam is the stereotype you'd expect, and he is slowly learning from this English teacher. Getting to know you is a cool song. :)

Off to play some basketball :)

Weekend, day 1

I was up at 7am, finished watching Scent of a Woman, and went back to sleep. SoaW was decent, quite good at times, and then terribly banal and corny at other times. It wasn't good corny either, as the movie attempted to have a very serious undertone, leaning towards a realism of sorts, and then counterpunched with cliche-ridden pabulum. No thanks to the latter. Pacino was brilliant most of the time, but Chris O'Donnell seems a little too suited for passive obeisance, which created a sort of vacuum. It wasn't believable the way that he found a way to stave off Pacino's bender and the speech given at the gathering at the end was greatly written but seem out of place with the rest of the movie, and further made it unbelievable. Overall score: 6/10.

On to the next film. :)
