I thought it was good, but definitely not great. I want to see "Alice in Wonderland", but reviews from friends and online have been poor. Tim Burton should stick to stop animation. If he made AiW in stop animation, I'm sure it would have been amazing. It could have been "The Nightmare Before Christmas" but in Technicolor. Yes, I know about SXSW. unfortunately, with that many bands, I think its time consuming to differentiate all the 'sucky' bands from the 'not sucky' bands. I watched “The Hurt Locker” last night.

I think they have something like 1,000 bands. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but NPR listed their own Top 100 of SXSW last week. Doug just recently got into QOTSA. We played one of their songs a week or so ago on Lego Rock Band and Doug has been listening to them ever since. :) Have you ever heard of the South by Southwest Music/Film Festival in Austin?

I wasn't sure what to take away from it. After if finished, I was like "...and...?" I watched "The Secret of Kells". It would be a good St Patrick's flick. The animation is memorizing and fun.

It's from March 27 last year. The first segment is about a guy in Chicago who bought a condo and finds out some pretty crazy stuff...after he buys it. Not that Chicago + recession=entertainment but I'm only 7 minutes in and I have to tell someone about it! I’m listening to This American Life 377: Scenes from a Recession.

I already heard a little about "There will be blood." I heard (a couple years ago?? hasn't it been out a while?) about Daniel Day Lewis' performance and how DDL spends a *long* time completely immersing himself in a roll before filming even starts. It's impossible not to hear about good things when you're connected to NPR, Mers! Haven't seen it yet though and can't completely remember the plot. And I might be confusing it with No Country for Old Men. Haven't seen that yet either. We usually rent movies from the redbox now though. D & I watched "The Informant" last Friday. Not a bad movie, but I'm reeeeaalllly glad I didn't see it at a movier theater (and I almost did!). I like adding good movies to the list.

WOW. Halfway through, I was going to give up on it, but then I was glued to my seat. After I finished it, I went back and watched the beginning moments again. Dont read about it; just watch it. It appears that the high school updated their website blocklist. And for some reason, the gaming site 1up.com has been blocked. WTF?!?!? Were the students watching too many game trailers? I've given up American Idol. It's snowing....*sigh*...I'm gonna have to drop kick Winter in the face. GET OUTTA HERE!!!! I watched “There will be Blood” last night. WOW.

I will say though that I feel the effects after a mugful of PBR (and that's what 50 cents of beer??). And, I could probably get drunk from a placebo (as in friends could probably pretend spike my drink and it would effect me). @Ceej: you're not sure if you're gonna hit up a Paddy's celebration? What?! :) Who would have thunk this would turn into a discussion about coffee? Me and coffee sometimes get together on Saturday mornings. I mix less than half a mug of hot coffee with milk and cocoa and sugar (if I feel extra special I'll go one teaspoon of sugar more than I think is enough). And sometimes a splash of vanilla. Or if we have ice cream I mix in that with milk instead of cocoa and sugar. Saturday treat!

No, they weren't on the same day. I'm back at school for the year. New students. New desk. New books. etc. More Later. In other knee-jerk news, I tried to download Windows 7 again. It wouldn't download, so I installed Ubuntu on the laptop. I'm back, baby. I'M BACK! I also restarted an old project of ripping some Korean DVDs to computer files for easier access.

Did you go to the tea place on the same day that you tried to purchase Windows 7?? :) On a slightly same note, I made a bunch of flashcards at the height of my yoga study (I'm currently in a slump but anyhoo). Not just for what the poses were (ie what is camel pose anyway?), but for the sanskrit names and a semi-translation. But, I never thought to make more flashcards of the ones I couldn't remember! Is that what you mean? Good luck! About the tea, funny how one thing can totally strike you the wrong way and affect the rest of your day; at least that’s what happens to me!

I usually get on a coffee kick around the holiday season. Congrats on your first grad classes. I hope your enjoying them and getting what you want out of them. Paddy's day is coming up..... not sure if i'm gonna hit up a celebration, but I may go to Kilkenny's and get in some food. We've found our Amazing Race back again and Office is back on.... Classic. Have you seen Tosh.0? I've seen a few episodes. It's alright. I've thought about sending in the video of when Say was on the sit/spin thing on the playground and she falls off.
