Kelly!

Au Revoir Les Enfants is on DVD now.

Excitement!

P.S. The Lovely Bones is being made into a movie a la Peter Jackson. No, I'm not looking forward to it. I don't feel like crying and I don't think he can do sentimental/story about a girl who gets raped and stabbed to death then tells the whole story from heaven. Plus he's doing Halo that same year. Eh, not sure on how that'll turn out.

Why did you turn down FIVE MILLION DOLLARS, Morrissey?

Why?

I would pay that much to see The Smiths in concert.

I don't know if any of you have heard about these people from Kansas protesting at the funerals of soldiers who died in Iraq.

Usually, I'm all for protests. My first reaction was "yeah, war protest."

The dumbest thing is that they aren't even protesting the war in Iraq. They claim that the death of the soldiers is a direct result of God's anger at a country that supports homosexuality.

Okay. First of all, since when has the United States of America supported homosexuality? Second, isn't there a more appropriate place to state your opinion than at a funeral? Third, none of the soldiers whose funerals they protest are gay.

Sorry, Kansas kids. You might want to rethink how you're getting your message out there.

So Cloud Cult is coming to Ypsilanti. Sadly, it's to some place that's 21+.

Sigh.

I guess that makes sense since it's a bar.

I wonder if they know what they're getting into.

I am a (correct me if I'm wrong) third generation American and one quarter Lebanese. Arab American.

But you would never know it.

To those of you in the Grand Rapids area, anti-war march/rally tomorrow at 11 (in the morning) in Veteran's Park.

I know this is a little late but I just found out a while ago myself and I'm lazy.

I've kissed...
01. [x] someone in a shower while doing a handstand and simultaneously jerking off a pale midget.
02. [x] Andy's mom.

Dear Hollywood, (I revert to my former geekiness for a second here)
I'm sorry, Stay Alive. I know you're a new movie and this stage of your life must be a very awkward one for you. However, I cannot help the fact that your premise, your sole purpose in life, has already been done by at least two anime series: .//hack and Serial Experiments Lain. There is a slight possibility that the concept was in existence before and after these series, but these were the only things that came to mind upon seeing your trailer.

Also, if you count all the incarnations of the .//hack series, you're copying a story four times over. Oh wait, there were four video games, an anime series, another anime/OVA, a manga coupled with a series, a novel, a collection of short stories, two novel series, one episode OVA, an MMORPG and two manga series. That would mean you copied the .//hack series about fifteen times, give or take two. And you copied Serial Experiments Lain about two times, counting the "video game".

I'm sorry. Someone had to tell you. It was best if you heard it from someone who cared.

P.S. .//hack and Lain sources.

P.P.S. What the hell does Elizabeth Bathory have to do with a video game? You probably just read the vampire parts and skipped over the facts. I hate when you slaughter history. I'll never forgive you for what you did to Pocahontas.

Katie! The game has been found! It is called No Brainer.

And it is fun.

One of the many reasons why I love the Silent Hill franchise: I consider watching a prolonged execution, electric-chair style, of my neighbor with the numbers '19121' carved in his forehead while the killer, a 6-year-old boy, looks on while pointing out the window towards my apartment a good time.

I am home. I came home yesterday and worked with my mom until 1:30 or 2 in the morning.

Tomorrow, I think Nick and I will go to Muskegon and Grand Haven. Hopefully, the friends we are going to be calling will want to hang out.

I love you all.

So I'm in Kalamazoo. I decided to visit Katie for a few days. I'll be back on Wednesday when I have to help my mom with work. Hopefully, later this week I'll go see Jessa. If it's okay with her. I still have to call and stuff.

Right now, Katie's running or jogging or doing some sort of physical activity. I'm sitting in this really ugly lobby place of the rec center enjoying wireless interweb.

Western is too big. I'm perfectly happy with my small campus.

I love you all.

P.S. If you want to hang out later this week, call me. I hate sitting around.

Last Night
Let's get this first point out of the way first and then move on to more important matters. Crash is not the best picture of last year. I'd be happy to debate this statement with you, but I won't listen to a word until you have seen Munich, Good Night, Capote, and Brokeback Mtn.

Went to a (free) play yesterday with Christine at the Black Spectrum Theater in Jamiaca based upon the old 1950's sitcom Amos & Andy. Nothing spectacular, but it held my interest for the most part and I got to go to a new place and try something new, two things I live for in this city.

Afterwards, headed to the East Village to my friend Deb's place to watch the Oscars w/ some people from the Learning Processes program. Very entertaining evening; it was too bad that some people had to leave early for morning reponsibilities. Ten arbitrary points to our host for a kick-ass spread.

Left immediately after the conclusion of the awards show to walk (and talk) off the Crash-related letdown. This is where the story takes a turn for the worse. Cut contains copy-and-pasted conversation w/ Ryan regarding my trip home. Not for the faint of heart. :-)

Read more..

So, to end this back on a happy note, here's a pic from last night. Motley crew from the LP program, clockwise from left: Deb, me, Roxana, and Alison.



(edit 2:00pm) Thanks to Leeder for this article, couldn't have summed up my feelings about it any better if I had wrote it myself...
Breaking no ground: Why 'Crash' won...

(edit 3:32pm) Just for the record, the Best Pic nominees, in order of personal preference:
1) Munich
2) Good Night, and Good Luck
3) Brokeback Mtn.
4) Capote
5) Crash
