the end is near

I feel a little sad because my quest is nearly at its end. I only have 5 or 6 movies left before I've finished and I will have completed every Kiefer movie... EVER and it makes me a little sad... oh well onto today’s...

Haiku Review

made to say goodbye
A crucial need for closure
Love is found and lost


Behind the Red Door starring Kiefer Sutherland and Kyra Sedgwick is a story about a woman photographer who desperately avoids her past. One day her friend/manager tricks her into a job where she ends up working for her brother. At first she wants to leave but he ends up guilting/bullying her to stay longer one day at a time after he tells her that he's dying from aids. He finally tells her that he wants her to stay until he dies but she is reluctant. She ends up staying and she is forced to deal with personal demons that she has been running from for quite some time. I was really excited to see this movie because it was the character driven work that Kiefer loves to do and I thought he did an excellent job. I really liked the movie and it really effected me. But I HATED Kyra Sedwick in this movie. It felt like nothing she did was natural.


Smart Laughs





I renamed this segment Smart Laughs because this is one of the more intelligent comics I've come across. This is from a comic called XKCD , one of the best comics on the web in my opinion. The range of humor is incredible and the art while appearing to be simple can be quite complex. Sometimes the humor is a little smart for me but for the most part it's easy to get. I especially love that there is almost a bonus punch line with each comic because he adds a subtext to each comic. If you just roll your mouse over you get that extra coment or joke that is associated with the comic rather than just the name of the picture.



Where never is heard a discouraging word...


Or encouraging for that matter. I've been trying to spread the word of my blog but no one seems to be biting. I'm not asking people to love my blog... just read it and tell me how much you love or hate it. Just let me know you're reading it and if it does suck I can try to make changes and improve it rather than being left in the dark and just not knowing what is going on. I think I have a pretty decent layout though and I feel that this can be something that people can enjoy. I’m getting better at HTML so if you haven’t noticed my blogs are a lot cleaner and that makes me happy.


An update to yesterdays debacle, I am still swollen, turns out I am allergic to aspirin. I’ve never been allergic to aspirin in my life and now all of a sudden I am? I have heard that some people can develop allergies much later in life but something is fishy.
