I like to imagine a world where there is only me and my wife sitting on a sunny porch high on a cliff watching time pass slowly by. a world where neither of us works we just lie in bed all day and watch bad tv and laugh at dumb stuff we’ve done. i dont care about money and those that know me know how i feel about possesions. i just want a peaceful existence with the person i feel like i fit perfectly. unfortunately the world is a shithole and we are all forced to work for a living but it is nice to dream from time to time. since growing up i never had a dream and couldnt imagine a marriage that wasnt based on alcohol fueled arguments over bills it’s a bit new to me. i’m so happy i almost feel guilty.

Firefox rulez j00!!!1! Not only is it nice to browse without frequent n00bish prompts and “information bars” but it has all sorts of neato extentions. Like this 1337 adblocking extention. It even puts a neato linky in the status bar that will let you view anything on the page that might be an ad and block it accordingly. It sits right down next to the extention that automatically checks my gmail.
Does browsing get better? I submit that it does not.
We saw “Be Cool” yesterday, it was very entertaining. I really miss going to the theater to watch movies. Downloading stuff for free is cool but you miss out on the experience of seeing John Travolta’s head 2 stories tall and all the other stuff like wicked awesome sound and $3 Cokes.
While we were over there we went to a comic book store (comic’s are huge in france which has me wondering where all the french comic book movies are) and I decided to thumb thru a copy of an Elekta comic that was on the rack. Flipping thru about 10 pages I saw her stab, slice and maim about 10 dudes across 2 different “scenes”. Which has me wondering why the fuck the movies have to suck so much ass. My hatred for comic book movies has me lying awake at night perplexed. I guess their popularity has been their largest problem because people in large groups in need of something to do will go see a movie even if theyre 90% certain it will suck hairy manbag. Now hollywood refuses to change the comic book movie formula. Why spend more money on stunts, choreography, SFX, etc. when people will pay to sit thru Spiderman’s umemployment woes and Elektra’s brief but bitter love affair with her next door neighbor. I guess the reason I fucking hate them so much is because I want to like them so much.
The power guy came by today to switch the power on and off about 15 times in 45 minutes. It was at once both entertaining and puzzling. Not sure why in the hell you might need to cycle the power to someone’s apartment on and off a dozen times in a half hour but to each his own. Maybe he was just on his lunch break and decided to fuck with someone. He did attempt to explain what he was going to do before the whole thing began but since I don’t parle the francais I didn’t understand. All I understood was “lumiere” meaning “light” and after explaining that I don’t speak french “tant pis” meaning “tough shit”. Rude bastard. Truly this was the highlight of my day.
Well, that and when the cat got a big ass dust ball stuck in her mouth that she couldn’t get rid of cuz cat’s dont have thumbs. For all their snootie behavior cats sure are dumb motherfuckers.
I need to get out more…
I saw Constantine today and it was pretty good. Maybe the “comic book movies must suck” rule doesnt apply to graphic novels. Or maybe I was just in a good mindset cuz its all springtimey outside and I got to spend it with my beautiful wife walking around Paris with birds chirping and cars honking and shit. Who knows.
I suppose the biggest question of the day is how does Keanu Reaves keep getting high profile acting jobs while the dude that played Bill drowns in relative obscurity? I didnt think keanu’s “whoa” was any better than the blond dude’s. I did see him a few years later in a softcore porn flick on Cinemax playing a gay dude in the victorian period. I guess maybe it wasnt well recieved.
But yeah.. good times.
Completed the much anticipated PC version of Brothers in Arms. It was a fairly entertaining time albeit a short one. I doubt it’s worth 50 bucks (or 60 for your poor europeans) but its definitely worth playing for fans of both WWII shooters or wacky RTS-FPS hybrid sorta things. It’s sort of a thinking man’s Call of Duty (which I actually liked more)
