To my girlfriend who has a phobia of porn groove...

I was burning a cd of pictures for my cousin when I looked up and the movie Ice Princess was playing. The young, wholesome... girl, Michelle Trachtenevergonnagetgonnorhea was leaving a meeting with her physics teacher. She is, in the movie, a smart, nerd-ish type (referred to in the movie as "a science geek") and she and her friend both stop cold in the busy high school hallway as a popular girl looks at them. Said popular girl-the little girl in Remember the Titans, I think... yeah! Hayden Panettiere!-she walks over toward them, IN SLOW MOTION, smiling like a prom queen. CUE THE PORN GROOVE!

Isn't that crazy?!

They put in porn groove there! It's a Disney movie! ...oh yeah ...it's a Disney movie.

"You're not like the other girls, Gen. Winners make sacrifices."

Faaantastic. AND these girls are total bitches.

...but the porn groove! Bum chicka chicka wah-waaaah... It was hilarious!

A quick bite and the purpose of film

Northrop Auditorium

Forgive me, I'm thinking about the money.

Damien Rice performing in Minneapolis was amazing. There was, note, no void due to Lisa Hanigan's absence, but we were hoping for her siren voice. Fantastic show--one of the best.

More coming.

Stats (Stats mean nows!)

I know it's the end of the year and all that...

And this isn't a whole, "Sorry I don't have the same exact tastes as you, Alvin!"
Instead of bitching about me pointing out how much you suck, why do you read shitty literature? This... will be an ongoing post. The funny thing is that "music" came in 2nd place on the Top Interests (right below "shopping") and reading came in 4th.

Softer than the rain

I'm going to pursue this photography thing.
In addition to writing. I like challenges.

Illicit, and esoterically so.
But EVERYTHING IS FINE, as I've said before.
It's well past two A.M.
I've slowed, from sprint, to run and am jogging now.
I still can.
Cults off of the orthodox church,
compositions composed of tone and shadow
or
an invigorating head start on all of it, in who cares what order?
Tomorrow holds more challenges.
Tomorrow it is.
Fine. Try it.

Tobey Maguire

I hate him.

And, generally, everyone else in/involved with the Spiderman movies.
Except for Willem Dafoe. But I really hate Tobey Maguire.
