...And Death Shall Have No Dominion

Chris Kelvin: Earth. Even the word sounded strange to me now... unfamiliar. How long had I been gone? How long had I been back? Did it matter? I tried to find the rhythm of the world where I used to live. I followed the current. I was silent, attentive, I made a conscious effort to smile, nod, stand, and perform the millions of gestures that constitute life on earth. I studied these gestures until they became reflexes again. But I was haunted by the idea that I remembered her wrong, and somehow I was wrong about everything.

-Solaris

We recently got cable and a DVR installed in the house, and let me just say it is quite a captivating little addition to my dwindling attention span. Fuck drugs, I'm going to be a television addict (if I'm not one already). I know I know, judge me if you'd like and call me lazy but like I've said before, I bet all this consumption of the media will pay off somehow in my future.....I hope.

I saw Amityville Horror on opening night this weekend. It was an okay movie, but I left dissapointed. It seemed that they tried a little too hard to make you jump by the typical Hollywood maneuver...a loud noise. There were about three good scares, but the movie as a whole seemed to rip off Thirteen Ghosts and The Shining. I haven't walked out of a theater thouroughly pleased with a film in a long time. Damn.

Thanks to our new cable, I was able to watch the completely underrated Solaris. I remember when it came out there were so many reviews talking about how boring it was, so I never bothered. I personally thought it was great. The music was probably the best part. It's comparible to Donnie Darko and Contact, and it puts me in a trance everytime I listen...check it out.

Why do my blogs always end up advertising music and movies?

Drew Barrymore was on Conan the other night and she talked about how she loves to play the board game Cranium. How cool? I've been playing that a lot recently w/ Mary and the roomies. I just thought I'd mention that so.....the end.

Birth comes out of DVD tomorrow...oh yes.

With that in mind enjoy the photos, bitches.

I cooked dinner for Mary, Becca, and Brittany. Why? Because I can...kind of.

Yes readers, it is actual size. LOOOL We are just playing.. kinda... lol again, and just kidding again.

I need to see Solaris-- and I agree about Amityville for the most part.. but it did scare the shiza out of me. Especially the after movie H&S. The end. Poser.

-Love ya and your damn great cooking, Roomies
