All Movies Suck

Except for Conan the Barbarian.
That's why Arnie is Governor. None of this Terminator crap.
Anyway, to complete my thesis and prove my hypothesis (disproving is for lame ass researchers with no REAL academic ability. They just don't know how RIGHT I can be) I need to finish the multimedia equivalent of a literature search.
I need to watch every movie ever made. Including home movies. Okay, some are banned, private, secret or whatever, but this is Science. If you've got a problem with my methodology you can take it up with me. And just in case you're stupid enough to even think about considering that, here's a picture of me jumping through a window.

I intend on saving the mind numbing experience of watching celebrity sex tapes, dancing with the stars and reality tv until my late 120s and anything with Ray Martin can wait until after I'm dead.(He keeps calling!) So I will watch these movies in order of quality, calculated by a function of awesomeness combined with the awesomeness of the person giving the advice. So the movies suggested by Felicity get top billing (Except the Saint with Val Kilmer. I have no idea why she liked that) then Steve, Hugh, Dominik, Andrew, etc.
So here is where I'm up to. These movies I have yet to see. Post some suggestions or cookies or something.

• Donnie Darko
• Brazil
• The City of Lost Children
• The Mummy
• The Grudge
• The Nightmare before Christmas
• XMen 2
• Spiderman 2 (I have this on UMD, I just need to watch it)
• El Cid (Alex lent me this weeks ago, I just remembered it)
• The West Wing (all of it)
• Dogma
• King Kong
• Final Fantasy 7 (the cutscenes)

There is a heap more. Get over it.

Why Not?

It's all quiet on the Western Front. Like, for years. It's currently 2240 (that's 10:40pm in 24 hour time, not the amazing year the Beatles became the Presidents of the United States of Angioplasty. You get used to it after working with Army guys for a while) And I've just sat down to procrastinate before paying bills and surfing the net for porn*. I've decided to sit down now, at this late hour because 10minutes ago I finished washing the dishes which I started washing directly after eating my dinner. We eat too late. Whenever we put down our forks at the end of a meal there's a 'bin bown!' sound effect and we get disqualified.
Just for an experiment, why don't you try and understand what it feels like to start your evening relax'o'thon at 2240, the time you fool. When you get home from work, (probably around the same time Felicity picks me up from the front of mine - 1800) just sit in your car until 1900, then go to the gym for an hour, then sit in you car for another 20 minutes and rush a meal in, followed immediately with a cup of tea. Then digest while beginning to unwind in front of the tv, think about cleaning up the place, (Gods damned! What a mess!) then berate yourself for not getting to sleep before 2230 and shuffle to bed just before midnight. Set alarm clock for 0605, get up at 0630 get ready. Sit in car for an hour and be all bright and happy, the new day is here!

* Really I just play UrbanDead, read ZGeek, Sinfest and play with Blender.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend" Does that mean that the friend of my friend is my enemy? What if I don't even know the guy? Does this mean I need to spend the next BBQ trying to figure out the order of precedence and punch the bad guys in the face? The enemy of my enemy is me, and I'm my own worst enemy so the whole concept is naf.

Non Sequitur today.

I've been thinking about zombies. I've been thinking about them a lot. And zombie dogs. And tv ads about the dangers of smoking. And NO evil spell checker, tv is not capitalised.

PS if you use outlook, type PS surprise! That's useful!

Small Projects

Okay, I've been slack again. I don't have a picture, I haven't had any progress towards my 'big project', and nothing has happened on the house. So I'd better fess up.
My big project was to take the hundred-ish photos of the internals of the walls of the house and stitch them together and map them onto a full 3D model of the house. So, on the weekend, I did the budget. Well, I made a really complicated and detailed spreadsheet that can tell me how much we've spent on all the stuff I've remembered to put in there but can't tell me even simple things like; Can I go to Falls Creek this year? or If I were to give up coffee for the rest of the year, would I be able to afford a PSP development kit?
The Winter Olympics + Thud = late nights this week. So far I've watched some skating, read some Thud, watched some Luge(sp?), read some Thud, and watched Snowboard Halfpipe(men's and women's) and read some Thud. Busy week.

I just wish I had time to work on my personal project too.

Long Winded

deep breath.

i have an immense personal project that i intent to give my all towards it is going to be tough but i just need to stay focussed and not lose my way i will try not to give away too much but it does have to do with the house and will be refered to in the future and i may be able to put some elements of it on this site or parts of elements from time to time to give you all an idea of what i am working on no steve it is not the zombie story although i have a couple of simple ideas for a setting that i need to take and put an actual story into i believe that not having a good story is a problem for lots of authors although not the good ones like terry pratchett and michael marshall smith i am thinking more of the type of author that sets up the story from the end then feeds it to the reader in a way to keep them guess okay so i am talking about dan brown and the da vinci code i finished metal gear solid sons of liberty bomb them all now.

and we bought a fridge.
