I have seen the glory and it is called AVATAR (in Imax 3D). I am man enough to admit that it was so pretty I cried. Story was pretty standard and you could see every development coming after about 10 min into the movie, but it seriously did not matter; I would happily have paid the $36 bucks to walk right back into the theater with my girlfriend and watch it again. o_O |

You've earned your rest; your struggle is done. In eternity's embrace your memory lives on. So sleep and dream of sweet reward. So take your bow and close your door. Goodbye Grandpa. :(
** please pray for my family and especially for my Grandma. |

Just read the His Dark Materials trilogy this weekend and liked it quite a bit. I actually agree with many of the theological/philosophical ideas expressed and have for some time now (starting back in high school I started to come around to many of them). I do feel he is a little hard on the church at times, but overall I kinda agree with Pullman. Very interesting world(s) he created for it, although the eventual outcome of everything could be seen from pretty early on in the second book and there were a number of plot holes. Still, a very pleasant read. I'm sure that movies of the 2nd and 3rd books would never be released in America even if the DO get made. As open minded of a country as we like to think we are we are pretty fucking closed minded, self righteous, and not much slower to damn "heresies" and "sinners" as our forefathers, which is just plain sad. It really IS a whole anti-Narnia. ^_^
Now to get back to the Litany of The Long Sun which I did not get nearly as much read from as I had intended this weekend, only about a hundred pages or so. Ah well, that is what this week will be for. |

| | stuff I wrote bounding in my head | ] |
I am so FREAKING awake right now it isn't funny. Awake like I want to go do a few laps around the block kinda awake. Actually what I really really really want to be doing is recording the vocals for any of the number of songs I've written recently. Well, I suppose I've recorded them either on my computer (with my webcam) or on my little handhold tape player, but that doesn't count. Burning creative desires boiling in my veins. DON'T DENY MY VEINS!!!!
**twitch**
Recorded spoken word vocals today for an industrial track that Rudge wrote a little while ago. I like how it turned out. But I want to siiiiing, belt it out, not piss of neighbors, etc... Don't want to watch a movie. Don't want to draw. Don't want to play vidja games (despite the fact that Final Fantasy: Dissidia is bloody fun). Want...to...SING. Alas it is almost 2 am which means any and all singing at any volume is nixed. Maybe I should go run around the block. Maybe I'm just so twitchy bcs I didn't leave my apt at all today except to take out the trash. Maybe I am just insane. Only the Shadow knows.
Song I wrote abt a half hour ago is called "Schrodinger's Cat." I like it. It is a different style than I normally write/sing in. Much more Brandon Boyd than my normal stuff I'd say. I need to take a shower bcs it is warm and I am sweaty.
GOBBLEDY GOOK!

| Random backstage passes... |

Soooo today was totally going to be sitting around the apt helping my girlfriend make the shadowboxes for her sculptures...and then I received a text at 7:30am from her asking if I could do her a favor. Turns out the lady that owns the gallery in Berlin that Ver is having a show at in October was in town today and wanted to meet up with Ver to chat abt stuff for an hour or so and Ver was wondering if I could drive her there since there was a music festival going on today and she didn't want to have to find parking. I said yes. A short bit later she got more info saying that she needed to get there before 4:45 because the lady was going to be backstage by then and wouldn't be able to necessarily come down to give her the backstage passes after that; this got me wondering because Korn was going on at 5:45. Ver then stated that Yasha, the lady from the gallery, was friends with Korn so that would make sense; I was instantly jealous of her awesome connections (joke) and the fact that she was probably going to be hanging out backstage with Korn. Soooo we headed over there at abt 3pm to get there by 4, and then recieved a frantic call asking us to pick up some sunscreen aaaaand somehow I ended up getting invited along. We procured sunscreen, got there by 4:40 (it literally took us an hour to get that damn sunscreen) and then we met up and got the backstage passes. Then we went inside and Ver and Yasha talked some uber exciting and promising (for Ver's art career...seriously awesome stuff...like being in a museum and whatnot) stuff while the guys from Korn were just wandering around getting ready for their show. Then we moved out to the hallway when another artist showed up and a short bit later Ozzy and Sharon walked by and both said hello. THEN we got to watch their sets from backstage and I got a signed drumhead from Korn's drummer. Holy hells that was an unexpected evening. I would talk more abt it (sadly I didn't get to do more than just nod and say hello to the guys in Korn bcs they were all in pre-show zone) but I'm bloody tired. Damn cool day though. Damn cool. Night! |

Q: Total distance walked this evening to see a fireworks show?
A: 10 miles.
Jesus fucking christ-o-matic. It literally was quicker to walk home from Marina Del Rey than to take a bus thanks to traffic jams. o_O
My dogs are barkin' cause I did it all in sandals. Owz. |

Went to Disneyland on Friday with mah Ver for her B-day. It was awesome. Terrible much fun. The little mickey head doughnuts in New Orlean's-town are derishious. The Indiana Jones ride is quite possibly spectacular. I totally bought a bunch of stuff for my nieces and nephews (oh god...$100 worth of tings to send to them). For her present I recorded myself reading Good Omens for her (because no audio recording exists of it) and drew her a birthday card (here is the front http://cannibalgnome.deviantart.com/art/Birthday-Card-4-Ver-124850766). I also did my best to pay for as much as possible at Disneyland, but she wouldn't let me pay for everything. I bought her a freakin-sweet EVE toy at one of the little shops also for her desk at work, and bought be a Mr. Potato Head dressed as Boba-Fett. We played with them the next morning before cooking breakfast.
Spent the rest of the weekend chillaxing with Ver at my apt. She did some work on her current sculpture, but other than that we chilled, watched movies or tv shows, and cuddled. It was awesome.
I also just bought a new phone. I am giving mine to my little brother (so he can be on the plan with my mom). This means I no longer have any financial reliance on my parents. o_O But at least I have a pretty sweet phone out of it. http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=4786 Should arrive on Tuesday at work. I'll have to give everyone my new number soon. :)
Night all! |
