Back 2 Good
Monday, November 29, 2004
Thanksgiving is done and we're back in the office again. Funny cos this past weekend felt more of a vacation than my one week vacation.
To recap: My computer at home took a dump on me. We had really good food for Thanksgiving with the whole family minus two cousins. I went to Comp USA the next day, not knowing that everyone in a mother load would be there. Spent 30 minutes in line (only two people in front of me) to buy a power supply for my burnt computer. Installed the power supply and it still didn't work. My mother board is probably fried. Spent time with my lady friend... had some nasty Risotto at Il Firnaio... had lots of sushi. Clean sweeped my little brother's comptuer so I can use it. Lots of sleep.
Now I'm sitting here ripping some CDs, as is the daily routine since I got my iPod. With all the CDs I have, it'll take me a year to rip them all. It was nice to not have as much church this past week. It really gave me a lot of rest. Also, Pastor's starting to get to singing again... but at least he's singing in time now.
A couple movies I watched this break:
The Chronicles of Riddick:
A good movie. Contrary to what many said, I think the CG was artistic. It wasn't meant to look as real as earth. I believe it was meant to take upon the retro stylings of "Sky Captain" and such. However, the prison dogs were lame looking... of course it's difficult to make CG animals look convincing. Even Peter Jackson had a hard time convincing people with his jaw-dropping LOTRs series. I believe this movie goes deeper than what people first took of it. You have the Necromongers "converting" people to their religion. Their policy: convert and take the "mark of the necromongers" or die. Funny how they called their cause "The Crusades".
The Spitfire Grill:
This movie was so good. It's kinda slow and takes place in Maine, which this movie assures, is the most boring place in the USA. But the story is so deep in it's simplicity and tragedy. It's something that we can all learn in our lack of grace and abundance of judgement. Scott brought up an interesting comparison between the town and the church of old... the church still.
I just noticed that this movie has a 15+ warning on it for adult themes... Although it does involve an "adult theme"... kids now a days watch the most horrible of things... this shouldn't carry that warning. At least I don't think it should. There was hardly any foul language, no nudity, no violence.
