Ok I'll admit it. My posts as of late have been quite lame. So this one will hopefully make up for it. There will great music to download and hilarious videos to watch. Which is what I'm all about!
This week has been a good week. Not that my other weeks have been bad persay. I usually just feel really drained from errands, class, etc. I guess just lately it has more to do with the fact that I had alot of impending projects and tests that I was more or less dreading. And now that they are done and I feel that I did a good job on them. Thats what I'm mainly concerned with. Grades matter, but for the most part, if I'm creating something I'd rather enjoy doing it and be content to put my name on something than to have it liked by someone. That was a main problem I had with 90% of my projects that I did for my art classes last year, for the most I hated them. They weren't the medium that I wanted to be working in but there are a few pieces that I kept.
Anyways I have posted all of my projects down below in case you haven't seen them yet. The other videos from my class were good. I didn't even think to shoot in widescreen. {Slaps forehead!}. You can see them here! The choices were to make one about sex, death, or food. There was another option but I cant remember it, cause no one did it. Beware, some of them are pretty much softcore porn. Just a heads up.
I turned in my script yesterday, and as usual with everything else I've turned in it divided people. Half liked it, half thought it was horrible. My dialogue was called trite and cheesy. Which I don't really agree with it. I mean its not the BEST dialogue in the entire world but I feel that it was pretty antiquate. I guess that was the thing that I took most offense to. Because I really am not one of those people who can't take constructive criticism, but it kinda ticked me off when they said that people don't talk how I write. And the thing is whether it is a script, an essay, or a term paper, I ALWAYS write how I talk. I guess that maybe the fact that mine was about 20 pages didn't help, when the average script length is around 3 pages. I don't know. We are going to discuss it more next week.
I bought the Stanley Kubrick collection the other week and man is it awesome! Elias and I watched The Shining the other night, and I forgot how creepy that movie is. I think before that I had only seen it once when I was really young.
At work on Wednesday we were trying to figure out what to get from the grocery store. And someone mentioned pudding. We then had a whole conversation about the different types of pudding. It all culminated in the finding of this video which is just soooooo funny. Its from the sketch comedy show from the 90's and it almost made me pee my pants.
Anyways the movies are finally starting to pick up after about two months of blahness. This weekend I have No Country for Old Men. Then next Wednesday there is my most anticipated film Southland Tales! I seriously have waited over two years for that movie! Then there is Beowulf! And then it just keeps going after that.
Next week is going to be a crazy. Not so much school work but more in the sense of travel. I'm going to California next Friday. My flight is at 645 in the morning! Then my returning flight is on Sunday night at 12 or so and i will get in 8ish east coast time on Monday morning. Insane! Then I have to go to class just to drop something off. Then I'm traveling to Virginia Beach in the afternoon for Thanksgiving break. But it will be nice because I get something like a 9 day vacation. My plan is to do nothing and have a good time doing it.
I went to see one of my favorite bands in concert last night. They're called Athlete and they are really really good. Kinda like Snow Patrol but not really. They are just amazing. I was really worried when I first got there because there was no one waiting in line. But as it got closer to show time more and more people started to show up. I've noticed that about seeing shows in New York, everyone shows up late. I guess I just take concert going really seriously and like to show up early. And if you aren't up front its almost not worth going to the show.
I take alot of trivial things very seriously. Movies especially. Music, concerts, comic books, and TV shows are up there too. I don't really know anyone else who is as into those things as I am. We were talking about Japanese culture in my comic criticism class and there apparently is a term that more or less encapsulates all of my quirks. The term is called otaku. Its basically an elevated term for comic book nerd in Japan. But the term isn't limited to comics it also extends to such things as sushi. Which made me laugh. I just wish people would get more excited about things coming out. So I'm not left feeling like a dork so often :-)
So the new Angels and Airwaves CD is amazing! I really like their first one. Whenever I listen to it I am immediately transported back to a very specific time period in my life. This new one is truly a great CD. Download it NOW! I'm leaving the link here for you to do what you will.
Angels and Airwaves- I-Empire
Anyways not much planned for the weekend except watching some movies. Tonight I'm seeing Before the Devil Knows Your Dead, and tomorrow I'm probably going to see Control and No Country For Old Men. So I shall keep you updated on my boring weekend.
