Burton

It has occurred to me recently that in a few Tim Burton films there is the option a guy has between a lighthearted happy woman and a dark creepy woman... and he always chooses or ends up with the lighthearted woman.

This makes me sad because I usually like the dark and creepy girl. And if you ask me, Helena Bonham Carter can be pretty darn dark and creepy... so why is Timmy all about the opposite woman in his films?

What's up with that? Let the weird girl get the guy for once!

What dreams may come

So I'm seriously beginning to wonder what sleep was like. I'm forgetting. I remember it used to feel nice and would give me energy. It was lovely times.

For the past 2 weeks I have not known that feeling much... except for short uncomfortable naps here and there.

I've always had a sleep disorder of some kind, a bit of an insomniac. But it's never been this bad. At night I feel so incredibly exhausted but I just can't get my mind to shut down. It keeps thinking about stupid random things... paintings, episodes of Friends, vaccuum cleaners, food, animals... just entirely random things... and I cannot for the life of me get it to stop.

This cannot be healthy. And will definitely NOT be good if I get a new job any time soon.

Blehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

9-11

On every Sept. 11th since 2001 I have played this song in memory of what happened on that aweful day. I ask whoever reads my blog to do the same, to close your eyes, to listen, and to remember the tragedy that struck our country and took thousands of lives seven years ago.

Kirk Fox

This dude officially beats Dimitri Martin as my second favorite comedian.

Commercial of the week

Cuz it makes me want to dance. And Chris Brown is cool even though he's so young. But mostly it makes me want to dance. Also Doublemint gum is nifty.

Switchfoot (click on images to make them bigger)

Before you look at all of these, you should know that the quality of the images is actually much crisper and better than they appear on Blogger, for some reason the quality lessened upon upload. :/

Pow! Bang! Boom! Batman

So Shane and I saw the Dark Knight on Thursday.

First of all, how is at all possible that no one is freakin talking about the fact that Two Face is in it? You would think that would be huge.

Second of all, yea it's quickly becoming one of, if not thee top money makin movie of all time but HELLO ticket prices are almost twice as much as they used to be. Take the ticket sales from the original Star Wars and add about a gazillion dollars to it and it would be the top grossing movie of all time too.

Bunch of media idiots.

Ok... so on to some good stuff. Heath Ledger... definitely an insanely awesome Joker. Though that whole tongue lick thing he did in the entire movie, was totally taken from the character of Barty Crouch Jr. in the Harry Potter movies. But other than that, very good and very scary.

The bat mobile... SUPER AWESOMERIFIC. I looooove the fact that the Lamborghini Bruce drives after the bat mobile gets destroyed is a DOWNGRADE from his car. Fantastic.

Not as many Chicago shots as I hoped for but the ones we saw were cool. Loved the Randolph train station stuff and the slow motion semi-truck flip was shown right in front of the building my mom works in ... the Chicago Board of Trade.

Still don't see what's so great about Christian Bale. He has awesome hair but that's about it. His mouth is shaped funny and the dude is just mean and lifeless. He's the same guy in everything I see him in.

Also would have seriously loved this movie if it was at least 45 minutes shorter. I will not be watching it again for a very long time, don't have the patience to sit through all the non-action dragging moments again.

But all in all, it was good. Which is big coming from me cuz I am not a Batman fan. Batman Begins bored me out of my mind and the other ones were all just too weird. (though I did love Batman Forever)

Soooo yea, that's my opinion on that for those who were wondering.
