one of these things doesn't look like the other...

I had been waiting for a friend of mine to send me some much needed photos but he never came through so I had to go a-hunting on facebook.

Haiku Reviews

Come by Wednesday

A place where your friends will be

Come and join the fun

I have been going to a bar called O'Rileys since I was 18 and it has always been a great place to be. I always say that this bar is my cheers. I know most of the pople that go there and the musicians are great. It is hosted my my good friend Allan Von who is a great musician and one of the kindest people I've ever met. I highly recommend that you go there if you like good booze, good friends and good music.

Dumb Laughs

I tried to post an example of the comic but it turned out to be a pain in the ass because most of the comics were way to long. At least the ones I loved were,so I'll just talk about it today. It's a great comic called the doghouse diaries and I am in love with it. You can thank digg for this discovery. I don't go to that website often but when I do I like to look at offbeat images. It's a great way to pass the time if you have an extremely short attention span... which I do. Also you can come across some really neat stuff that way. One of the things that I love about this comic is the truth in it. It reminds me of xkcd in that way. Another thing that is cool is they have a pretty long archive which can equal many days of childish giggles :)

Self Esteem Nose Dive

I am really depressed lately because I gained 10lbs since I quit smoking. I am really happy that I have been able to go so long without a cigarette but I hate that I've gained weight. I already have a bit of a weight problem and i don't need this added to it. I honestly don't have low self esteem, I've always had an unrealistic idea of what I look like and it was flattering. Ever since I stopped smoking however I have been made much more aware of myself image and it doesn’t look good. Don’t worry I’m not going to go all emo on you, but I will say that I am inspired to better myself. We’ll see how this goes.

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.

Anything worth doing, is worth doing to death

Haiku Review

Today’s Haiku Review is brought to you by Dead Heat

Pleasantly surprised
I think I'll buy this one
Pretty funny too

I really enjoyed watching this movie. It surpassed all of my expectations mostly because they were all low. Every review I would come across would say how bad this movie was. I thought it was really cute and funny. I would recommend it to anyone.

Dumb Laughs

*gigglesnort* I got a really good laugh out of this thanks to failbook a great site dedicated to idiots on the interwebs. As we all know I am obsessive so I spent 3 days just reading these posts. Time well spend I say ;).

Heartburn, Bloating, Jedi Needs Not These Things.

I found out today that I am allergic to Alka-Seltzer After 3 days of heartburn and having a lump in my chest I finally caved and bought alka-seltzer this morning. I had high hopes that it would cure what ailed me because I have never heard anything bad about it and was positive it would work. it ended up tasting awful but I had expected that. What I didn't expect was that my lips would start swelling to a very large size.

I didn't know what to do! I ended up calling my sister who told me to just take a Benadryl and see what happens. I figured that was the best way to go because I don't have very much sick time left and I need what I have for a surgery I intend to have. That is the only thing that kept me from freaking out because I am a very high anxiety person. I didn't realize it before but I've noticed that EVERYTHING makes me nervous! Well the good news is that the crisis has passed (obviously) I did not asphyxiate on my own tongue and I am still at work and didn't have to use any of my sick time. But I still have F**KING HEART BURN!!!!!

I am self centered, I used the word "I" 13 times!!!!

Epiphany

Fun stuff out of the way first, we begin as usual with the Haiku Review.

To End All Wars is a film staring Kiefer Sutherland and Robert Carlyle. We all probably know Mr. Carlyle from the very excellent film, Trainspotting where he plays Begby the dangerous lush.

What is Just?
Can we ever know?
This Film Tries

It is a very enjoyable movie that makes you think. It almost forces you to consider all sides of the situation. You begin feeling for the prisoners but then you can't help but develop a certain empathy with the Japanese soldiers. I encourage anyone to watch this movie because even if you don't like war movies, this is a film that can inspire.

Dumb Laughs

Todays dumb laugh is non-existent, so I'll begin with a website that I just love. It's called desktop tower defense. You can access it by going here. They have a few different levels of play that basically shows the evolution of style and gameplay.

I have found this game to be so addictive that I would spend entire afternoons trying to kill all of the little bastards. It is a wonderful way to waste a few hours. You will also have fun figuring out different strategies and arrangements for the turrets.

This is not a Kefer fansite I PROMISE

I have been eating way to much lately. I have done nothing but eat and watch 24 this weekend. Finally finished the 7th season. Which I was able to do thanks to Netflix. They had all seasons accept for the most recent available on instant watch. A great way to watch movies or tv shows. If you have a wii you can link that with your netflix account so you can watch everything on your TV. Now I just need to find a way to catch up with 8. I am really excited about this coming season and can't wait to see how it ends. But I am also really sad to know that it's so close to being over. I almost feel cheated that I didn't start watching it whenever everyone else did. Sitting at the edge of my seat each sunday. But then another part of me is so happy it ended up like this because now I don't have to sit through commercials and wait for the next episode. I don't want it to be over, but I can't wait to see what happens. If anyone is curious for an update on my quitting status, I am proud to announce that I remain cigarette free and I am finally starting to get over some of the physical addiction symptoms.

Thank you for the good wishes and thanks you to those who actually read my blog. See you tomorrow.
