Just got out

Just got out of Point Break Live! Holy shit. If you live in LA and
read this, do yourself a favor and go see this show. It is amazing.

AGH

God I fucking hate PETA. Ingrid Newkirk is on The Colbert Report and I just want to kill someone.

That's all I've got.

Random thoughts

So Shelby has been here since Saturday, and we've been having a good time. I've been to the fucking movies like 5 times though, and going again tonight. My poor wallet. =(

We saw The Orphanage with Shawn and his girlfriend a few days ago, and it made me think of a few things.

I am never, ever, ever going to see a horror movie in a theater ever again. I liked this movie. Thought it was well made. The people though. Holy shit. People talking "Oh nooooo", girls screaming, boyfriends laughing at those screams and jumps. Never again.

The other thing that got me thinking. If we didn't know it was a horror movie, how would our reactions be different? As the music started building up, and you wait for the inevitable jump out and blast of music, you start to tense. But you tense up because you know it's a horror movie. Because you know that these things are supposed to happen. Shawn's girlfriend would put her hands over her ears to muffle the loud noise that we all knew was coming when something would jump out. Without a predefined notion of this being a horror movie, would she still have done that? Would our reactions be vastly different?

I bet somewhere out there someone has done a study on this, or on the psychological and physiological effects of horror movies. Well I hope someone out there has done one because I don't have the money to fund one myself. Maybe I'll test it out by finding another horror movie that is named so inconspicuously, and show the trailer to one person, and not the other. And see how the reactions go. It's so hard to keep someone on blackout about a movie though.


Oh, and I also haven't posted pictures because I've been pretty busy, but rest assured I will as soon as I get time. I have been taking them.

Contacts suck

I finally went to Lenscrafters about a week ago. And the optemtrist decided that since I normally sleep in my contacts, she would give me healthier ones to do so in. Well when I tried them on, I couldn't see shit out of my left eye, and my right eye was perfect. A day later, and the exact opposite. Now I cna't see shit out of my right eye past like 3 feet. If even that far.

Last night this culminated in a terrible headache. I really hope my prescription isn't fucked because those glasses that are coming are expensive.

Anyway I just felt like bitching I suppose.

Really liked this one

So I'm posting it. Took it yesterday, but I was so tired last night I didn't post it to the blog. I really like the colors and the contrast between the super bright sign and the dark buildings.

So here it goes. This is the 1st picture I'm posting for the new year, and I think a good one to kick off this project. I took another one today with my SD1000, but I of course can't upload it until I get home.

I wanted to go to the beach but I actually have work to do, so I didn't get to go. It's a beautiful day outside too. Oh well. I really like the one I took today, and I'll probably post it here too. And maybe even use it as a background on my desktop. Hmmm.
