I am now a movie buff... Not.

I have seen 3 movies in the last month or so. And a lot more previews. I like the previews a lot. They give you just enough information to make you want to go and get your hopes dashed.

I watched Spiderman 3. That was terrible. There was singing and dancing. If I had wanted that, I would have watched a musical or an Indian film... I saw the latest pirates of the caribbean without watching the prior ones. I got to say, I liked the way that Depp fellow acted. He was refreshingly funny.

I watched Knocked Up on Saturday. By far, the funniest one I have watched in a while. It didn't have too much drama, it was funny along the way and there was something refreshing about the cast. And all that Canadiana. I miss home. But then again, what is home?

There was a fellow at the theatre (some places in the US spell it theatre... I find that strange because they forgot to mis-spell it or perhaps they are reforming their ways and spelling correctly) who kept farting and burping throughout the movie. Keep your farts home dude!

I can't wait to go watch Rush Hour 3, I am a huge fan of Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker together. I love funny movies. They make you laugh. And that's about it. The plot isn't genius, there isn't spectacular computer graphics, hot women dressed or rather undressed scantily... none of them are going to win an Oscar for anything I would recognise as a category... but, they entertain. They make me happy. And for that, I am thankful.

I can't wait to see all the funny movies coming out this year. There's the one about the american rat chef in Paris, some wedding related ones, the simpsons movie... and so on. I am no movie critic, nor am I an expert on anything from the silver screen, but if I can recommend something, that would be to make good, light hearted, bring-a-smile-to-your-face-every-time-you-think-of-it type comedies. Thank you Hollywood.

Strange is one way to put it

Life has been a bit strange of late. I've gone from being incredibly happy to depressingly sad. I don't quite have the answers to why that is and I am not really sure I care to find out. I almost feel like its easier to give up than try and work towards some worthwhile conclusion to the problem. I love going on vacation. I hate coming back from there. Generally, when I get back from vacation, I go through a period of adjustment that starts with the lack of sleep (because I am usually not in the same time zone as my vacation destination was), self-pity and loathing at the state I left my place in, in my hurry to get out of here. It progresses to outright hatred of having to go back to work and dealing with the routine in general. I resolve to find better things to do in life, learn more, improve myself, lose weight etc etc. And eventually, I end up no further than where I was, where I've been for over 2 years. I can find any number of reasons and excuses to make this someone...

New computer

I am getting a new computer after 5 years. Oddly, I seem to be reversing trends in terms of pricing. My new computer will actually cost me more than my previous one. What am I going to do with the new one? Same sort as stuff as with the current one. I am going to install Linux on it and use it as my desktop. I will likely convert my current machine to a server to host files and who knows what else. So, what does it have? It has an Intel Dual Core processors clocked at 2.8Ghz, a really cool ASUS motherboard, an NCQ enabled Seagate hard drive, 2GB of DDR2 RAM running at 533Mhz, an LG 16x DVD burner, a 6600 LE MSI Video card (with DVI and TVO), one of those fancy floppy disks with multiple memory card readers and the kicker, a funky kick-ass case that looks like a critter from some game. It is called the NZXT Nemesis Elite and I have stolen a pic from a site and put it here: The eye of this case can be modified to change colours (wow!). I should get it next Saturday. My biggest surprise s...

The good, bad and where-the-heck-have-you-been fall edition

I've neglected my blog this summer. I'm sorry to whoever still reads it. Now that fall is here, I'll have more time to devote to it, I think. So, what the heck did I do this summer? In a word, lots! I did a fair bit of running, hiking, biking, swimming this year. I turned vegetarian. Well, a relapsing vegetarian. I attended a wedding, a lamb roast, bought furniture, went back to school, learned to cook new things. I watched a royal wedding, a state funeral and a royal tour of our fine land. I also watched as our hockey team went all the way to the Stanley Cup finals and watched in horror as some of our citizenry decided to set fire to parts of our city. School's back and I'm excited by it. I've also got back to reading. I missed my books. I have no idea why I stopped... but somewhere along the way, I forgot how peaceful it is to sit in a quiet corner somewhere and lose touch with the outside world and step into an imaginary (sometimes brutal) world whe...
