It's [Just About] Official.......

422 N. Newberger St., Bruce, MS

Telling the boss 'yes' Tuesday.

I'll welcome housewarming presents and shit. Well, I feel bad for receiving charity...but hey, you know.

You are all not welcome to stay, but we can talk on the front step for about 5 minutes. Tops.

Anyway...it should be ready to be inhabited by Friday. It'll take me a few days to even get ready to get settled, but I'm going to start packing and taking things over and hopefully my dad can help move my bed and stuff ASAP. It sucks though b/c I'll be out of town this Friday/Saturday, so that makes it really awkward.

More as it develops.......

Here I sit broken hearted; came to post but only........went blank.
-------
The Wachowski Brothers (The Matrix Trilogy) made the movie "V For Vendetta." They have got serious balls.

It's so weird how the movie is so well timed with things that have been happening....especially in the past few days locally. Big Brother is upon us, so to speak (or newspeak, I should say). Actually, funny note: The guy who plays the president/Hitler type guy in the movie actually played Winston in the 1984 film "Nineteen Eighty-Four", based on the book.....about, well you should know what 1984 is about.

In local news Starkville just passed a smoking ban on all places of business. They actually did this the very night I was in the theater watching "V For Vendetta." The next day when I heard about it on the radio, I wanted re-enact scenes from the movie. I was getting upset about the (JT & Dave's favorite term) 'Shadow Government.'

Still, a great movie and I would recommend everyone go see it, whatever your view of politics and government is. Even though....30 years in the future they still have DELL 15" Flat-screen LCD monitors. You would think computer monitors would be like plates of glass with just the image. But no......they just ordered a few monitors from DELL rather than make a new set prop. But that's just me.

Also.....freaking Antony And The Johnsons and Cat Power were heard in the movie. It was awesome!

Wikipedia is freaking amazing. I may one day become culturally educated. Anytime I have a question about who/what someone/something is....I'll just look it up, read and learn.
----------

Big news coming soon.....I HOPE! Sorry to tease, but I fear that by telling too many people and bragging too much, it won't happen.

But it does concern me 'making it on my own' a la Mary Tyler Moore. I'm gonna throw my hat in the air, too.
-----------

Well, it's been twenty minutes since I started the post (got to reading Wikipedia), and have forgotten the other topics for tonight. But I will return soon, hopefully with something entertaining.

Hooray

M. Ward just wished me a happy birthday on Myspace. Makes me happy.

Not sad like last night when my head smashed a low-hanging light whilst jumping up to hug Gunshy Matt goodbye. Guess I shouldn't be so anxious to see someone leave.

Coo Coo Kachoo

I'm finally getting back on a roll with my Netflix account, trying to return stuff as fast as I can again. I've gotten through 3 discs of the HBO show "Carnivale", and I must say it's pretty good/interesting. I've seen it for the longest time in stores and thought its packaging looked kinda cool, and after watching I have to say there's certainly not much on TV like it right now.

But, beyond that what gets me is that the box set costs upwards of 60 to 70 bucks.....and there's only 12 episodes of the show. I kinda felt ripped off when I had to change discs after the 2nd episode. Glad it wasn't an impulse buy.

-------

Meanwhile, an incredibly exhausting weekend. I won't go into it, b/c just thinking of typing it makes me yawn.

You dodged a bullet there......no boring ass story from me.

Besides, so much shit went down......I think I have a brain tumor b/c of it.

--------

I'm really sorry you guys.....I'm totally out of shit to say, I think I'm getting in one of those seasonal moods again.

Not really depressed, just sad.

Hopefully I can kick in with this movie thing and I'll be able to post some pics and stuff, or try out some kind of update diary of it. We'll see.

Quick one, this is:

So I just put on "Little Britain" for a bit and noticed a quick shot that I had to pause to read. On a hand-written note in the pub's bathroom it said:

"1. If you vomit, please tell the staff.

2. Please don't put toilet rolls down the toilet.

Thank you

--The Cleaner"

Just FYI I guess.

Drawing A Blank For A Post Title

Today was great. We were so happy. We found out our Emergency Weather Alert System worked! Man, that thing was busy all day!

It made us giddy.

In other news, I finally got my W-2 form today.....and all I could say was "Holy Crap...I made THAT much?! Where the heck did all of my money go!? I mean, I know I blew alot of money, but .........well yeah, ok, I blew alot of money. I hate answering my own questions.

But, I had fun. This next year might not be so great....as I may be living at my own place, and then I really WILL blow my money. Oh well.

Check back in a year.

And In A Surprising Upset, The Winner Is:

From the SP (Steven Press):

Sunday, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Brokeback Mountain" director Ang Lee publicly apologized for his film "HULK" whilst accepting the Academy Award for Dirctor for his latest epic "Brokeback Mountain":

"Yeah, my bad. At least I won for a good movie. And yo, Eric Bana, you weren't even nominated for starring in "Munich".......I see the Academy hasn't forgotten about it, even though you just played David Banner. It's my fault all around for making it so bad. But, you do have to admit it was a pretty good story. Well, except for the bit where the Hulk fights giant mutant dogs. Once again, my bad. Chee Chong Ching."
----------------------

Well, anyway, sorry I've had about 19 hours to develop that bit of humor, but once again failed. At least "Brokeback" got the ones it really deserved like director and best score. Man, everytime they won an award they played the music, and I was so moved. Especially when Izthak Perlman performed the movie score themes, I was blown away. Gosh, I really loved the music in that movie!

The best thing about the Oscars was that Jon Stewart brought along Stephen Colbert to do some nominee political-type ads. You know, like slamming Dame Judy Dench, which was paid for by the committee to elect Charlize Theron for best actress and such. I can't describe it, but just picture mud-slinging campaign ads and you got it. It's just a shame that I was at Sonic and missed his opening monologue.....if he had one. Oh well, I'm just going to assume it was stellar.

Oh yeah....and when Tom Hanks demonstrated the new way to cut acceptance speeches short: The orchestra actually came on stage, bopped him on the head with a tympanny, and then the flutist shot a tranquilizer dart from his flute and Tom Hanks passed out. That was pretty funny.

I also gots to give a shout-out to "Wallace And Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit" for winning best animated!

But enough about the Oscars b/c I know it just makes me sound even gayer.
