Happy Birthday...I'm 43.
Sometimes, Cannibalism Makes Sense To Me
zombiesOh what a weekend? Was it good? No. Great? No. Superb? No. Awful? You're getting warm.
I had somewhat high hopes but they were dashed quickly due to a combination of factors. First things first: I hate school. I need to finish fast. I am absolutely running on fumes and it is affecting my work. I find myself caring less and less about quality and more and more about just being done. I don't care. I know I won't get anything close to my "dream job" (killing people with a flamethrower?) and will instead end up working for Motorola creating lame web content for cell phones or something stupid. Who knows? Maybe I can be the next great .gif animator like What's His Name and Whozit. Yeah......I want my friggin' life back.
So, I did get out a little bit. Friday night found me trekking to the saddest place on Earth for dinner. Yep....Culver's. The worst yet, the food is seriously tantilizing to me. It's beyond depressing to eat there but I can't help myself. Saturday, after a rough go of it with my homework, I watched Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Ummm.......d'oh. They should just stop making movies based on video games. The first movie was OK for a modern zombie movie but none of these new movies, sans Planet Terror (which rules with an iron fist of justice), cut it when compared to the best of the zombie genre. Well, Apocalypse is more of a sci-fi/action romp with zombies as sort of an afterthought. It's fairly light on gore and violence and no scarier than any episode of Ugly Betty you probably have never seen. I did manage to see the episodes of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia at Nicole's when I dropped off her Halloween props Saturday night. The band episode was AAAAMMMMAAZZZING!!!!! I need a copy of "Nightman"......so friggin' hilarious.
I dragged myself to the Buy for a few new musical entanglements. Actually, one was the Demetri Martin CD/DVD entitled These Are Jokes. Pretty funny in the Flight Of The Conchords way, similar to the hilarious Eugene Mirman. I also got The Sleeping Questions And Answers thanks to the bonus track on GH3. So far, I enjoy their rockin'silliness.
Sunday was brutal. Homework nearly ended my life but I managed to scrape enough of it together but I need to pick up the pace in the next 6 weeks to come out on top. I also viewed another Netflix entry - George A. Romero's Monkey Shines. Actually, it wasn't bad at all. I would lose about 15-20 minutes only because some scenes dragged a bit longer than necessary. I see that it's not one of his more popular films and it's not on par with his zombie gems but it was decent enough. Nothing I'd buy though. At least the eve ended well enough with another top notch episode of the almighty Dexter followed by the 5 remaining episodes of Californication. Yep, Showtime hath supplanted HBO as the go-to pay cable network of choice at the moment.
Did I mention that Dexter is probably the best thing on TV right now? Start watching because it's the truth.
