Sometimes, it's the things you aren't asked to do that lets you know who your friends really are.

cheech:
I tend to agree there... thing is, I can usually watch the first movie of a blockbuster string. For instance, I had considered myself a Star Wars hater, but if you watch the first one (which, uh, I guess is now called Episode 4?) it holds up as (as Ebert said) a throwback to the early adventure serials. Also, I saw/ relatively enjoyed The Fellowship of the Ring and the first Xmen movie... but I didn't go to any of those sequels (and hadn't to any of the new Star Wars ones). And not always for the exact same reason. In the case of the Tolkien, I imagine they'd be of about the same quality. With the Xmen one, I heard frequently it was actually better. With the Star Wars ones, well... I can't imagine they don't guzzle choad... but in all three cases, I'm reminded of the quote (I've written before) by John Carpenter, when asked why he didn't do Halloween 2: "Because it's the same movie... people go to a sequel to see the same movie twice." Ironic that he did Escape from LA (egad; didn't see it).
I think it's tough for directors to make a completely unique cinematic experience. It would be unfair to expect that every time... I try to pick the movies I see with something of a new, unique experience, but it sure is difficult.
I shoulda asked you to hang out last night. I staved off boredom yesterday by biking and watching Sealab 2021 almost all day... but the weather's shitty again, I'm TV'ed out, and am becoming hellabored today.
Hmm. Maybe I should move to Richmond... at least 'til you all (the usual crew) move out.

I couldn't even try to post top 5 if I wanted to. I'm so fickle that it seriously changes by the second. I've made CD's, walked immediately to my car, put the CD in, and skipped most of the songs because I changed my mind. 
I feel like a slug.
My head still hurts. And now it itches, too. Fun!
I haven't been sleeping well for about 2 weeks now.
My car needs an oil change.
I need a new sofa.
Internet dating is just bizarre. I could tell you some stories.
I'm so tired all the time.
This year I'm hoping to take a vacation to Thailand. Or maybe...

I love Maine in the Spring and Fall all of it is beautiful no matter what season.
I go to Bristol where I grew up in the summers with my dad and stepmother.
I go to a lighthouse about a mile away from the house called Pemaquid Point.
It is a very magical place I have shared many secrets with.
I have laid on the rocks for days and smoked a lot of joints on her slates.
I always liked Maine better and the strange mix of people that lived there.
My father was friends with a couple of gay priests that believed god was a black woman.
They were nice guys.
I am glad your head is better
Stay well.

Injury update: NoControl is listed as DOUBTFUL for this week's game.
Resident cranky old bastard NoControl suffered a mild concussion last night when, while dreaming that the telephone was ringing, he vaulted himself up out of bed to answer it, smashing with full force into one of the low ceiling beams just above his bed. While sitting upon the bedroom floor, dazed and confused, blood...

That hurt just to read it! 
To my usual favorites, you know I love you. I need a change of pace, though, so I'm going to start mixing it up a bit. Hope ya don't mind 
I'm in an uncharacteristically good mood tonight.
So what's up? Not much. I'm home tonight...bored silly...watching the Washington Wizards and Cleveland Cavaliers play a damn fine basketball game.
Later, I'll probably watch Friday Night Lights...

The love shits are not only painful but long-lasting. It's like the complete opposite of happiness! Or, lollipops! Only lollipops CAN be long-lasting. I guess it's something like lollipops.

I haven't seen Un Chein Andalou for years, and haven't listened to the Pixies for years, so I don't know where that came from. I guess my bored subconscious mind.

Lemon curry?

Who knew Descartes could be forced to rhyme?

Maybe it's simply this: we've lost our sense of awe, our willful suspension of disbelief. There is the feeling of a cloying world, where Suicide Girls can't pull it off for their self-consciousness.
Maybe I'm too old for this site anymore. I really don't know.
I often feel its true. I love hanging out with my SG friends, but more often than not I wind up feeling like some pathetic old fuck who doesn't know when to let go of his youth and grow up.

Ahhh, the cheese stands alone, I seem to be the only one with a lasting impression of SAW. Ahhh well, guess there's something unique about a B movie changing my perceptions, huh?

Man.. Just reading that might kill me.
Is there going to be hazing and stuff as well?
You do not want to remove all the dangerous fun.

Rainer Maria Rilke...what a fantastic poet:
His vision, from the constantly passing bars,
has grown so weary that it cannot hold
anything else. It seems to him there are
a thousand bars, and behind the bars, no world.
As he paces in cramped circles, over and over,
the movement of his powerful soft strides
is like a ritual dance around a center

It's okay, I know I'm terrifying. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
I played golf today.
That's right...I played golf.
Anyway, I had no idea you could get so worn out by golfing, but apparently you can.
Damn, my ass is kicked!
Off to watch the College Hockey championship game and then check out Saw. I hope it doesn't suck.

But still, I wasn't drunk at the show, and I don't remember the dude coming out. I think I went to the bathroom during their set, but I still think I would have seen the guy coming on or leaving. Man, this is so weird.
