My HD DVD!

Ok so I apologize that I haven't updated this week. As per usual I've been really busy. Monday, was class and the show. WSVA radio station is my favorite radio station because they gave me free tickets to go see Morissey in concert on Tuesday, and all I had to do was write really bad poetry. I mean this shit is really bad. I mean it is worst than Vogon poetry. (Its a hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy reference, look it up).

Our bath tub drain was clogged and the water had been sitting in there all night. So I decided not to take a shower. I can't remember the last time where I didn't take a shower in the morning.

Tuesday was the one day that I was going to sleep in really late, because I haven't been able to sleep alot the last few days. But I was awoken at 10:30 (early i know right!?) so I could let in the maintenance guys to unclog our bath tub. Anyways I showered, and fiddled about and began to make my way to my class. I stopped at Bust Buy to pick up the new Stanley Kubrick Collection. It has new editions of 2001, Eyes Wide Shut, Clockwork Orange, The Shining, & Full Metal Jacket.Unfortunately it was sold out. Not only there but every Best Buy in New York. Lame. Anyways so I had my comic class where we talked about American Splendor and Harvey Peakar for about an hour. We also talked about The Fountain a good while.

After I got out of class I had shit to do. I not only had the Morissey concert but I also got envited to a screening of American Gangster through RSA. So I went to the Hammerstien and got my tickets. I had an extra one so i gave it to this girl who was about to get ripped off by a scalper. I gave it to her for free. It seemed to make her day.

I traveled uptown to the screening and watch the first hour of American Gangster. It was pretty good. After that I went to the Hammerstien and Morissey kicked some major ass. His fans worship him.

Wednesday was a pretty decent day. Didn't get much sleep (seems like a reoccurring thing) and went to work. I spent way too much time organizing the supply room. After I got off work I had to do some running around before I began to edit my assignment. Which came out alot better than I thought it was. And here is the finished product here. I apologize for the sub par quality. I'm going to try and do another dubbing when I get the tape back from my teacher.



I went home and worked on my script for a while. It keeps getting longer. Most kids in my class only write about 10 pages or so. This one is almost 20 and not done yet. I really like it. I might post it when I'm done.

I woke up at 430 in the morning and couldn't fall asleep. I wanted to be asleep but I physically couldn't. It was one of the most frustrating things ever.

Anyways. I eventually got to sleep around 5 and got up around 11ish. I went to my classes and my video went over better than I expected. My apprehension comes from the fact that I had never done anything on film before then. I think I might shoot with it again some time.

After class I went to Best Buy to buy some camera equipment and I bit the bullet and bought and HD DVD PLAYER! It was a deal I simply couldn't pass up. You buy the XBox 360 attachment it comes with King Kong. And since I purchased it at Best Buy they give Heroes Season 1 on HD. Annnndd Toshiba is having a deal where you mail them a proof of purchase and they give you 5 FREE HD DVDs! I picked The Italian Job , Hulk, Full Metal Jacket, The Frighteners, & Black Rain. So seven HD DVDs for buying one player. You really can't pass that up. I'll probably trade some of those in for HD DVD'S that I actually want like Children of Men or The Fountain.

Anyways so I'm off to Richmond tomorrow to visit my friends who I miss very much. But we are going to have an awesome time. I also get to see my family which is pretty nice as well. Expect a big update when I get back with lots of pictures.
