| Let me just say that Spiderman 2 is a good movie (I think the first was a little better, except this time...the ending is more "complete" in a way). From a visual standpoint, it looks like someone else directed it because there are a lot of freezeframes and other technical effects. The Day After Tomorrow was also a good movie...but not original. It followed the basic plot/concept of every other disaster movie from Titantic to Deep Impact. I guess the thought behind it was pretty cool: that all our air pollution will cause the ice caps to melt, eventually reversing the climate patterns and creating a sort of second ice age. I had a fun time at the drive in with katie and katie, even though I told my parents I was going to the cinema (it's just easier to tell a white lie than to fight about it). One thing worth fighting, though, is how stupid the government can be! I got a letter from Selective Services today telling me that I still haven't registered and that this will destroy me (ie no job opportunities, no financial aid). Okay, so I should register, right? Well guess what? I've already registered...TWICE! That's fucking bueracracy for you. The second time I got a letter back with the wrong birthdate. No, I was not born October 8th..try September 30th. And I highly doubt there is any other kid out there named Justin Garr Burt who was born on 10/08/85. So the second time registering I went online and got my selective services verification number. Just my luck, I couldn't find it today when I wanted to call and serve it to them. I tried calling their number, right? 100% automated. Yes, you can reach a human being, but only during business hours. Understandable. At least I found out there may be a chance that I have registered and they just messed up. But still, I don't want my life to be "ruined" (which they basically threaten) because the government can't do things smoothly. Oh well. The prices we pay for living in a superpower democracy. | |
