Huhhhhh

Emotions orrrr thoughts or I dunno. Something goin on chemically.

Something like this always seems to happen.

After the friends go home after a nice long day with them.

I guess if I think about it, it probably has to do with the conversion of the extreme high I get when friends who I love are around me to the calm, tranquil low of being alone once they leave.

I think if I were to make a statement about myself I would say that I don’t enjoy being alone in a quiet room or being in a chaotic mess of people but most enjoy the controlled chaos of a couple of friends being rowdy and hanging out in a single room together. So in a sense I do like the chaos part but in a controlled manner. We can be sitting in a room and be as crazy and obnoxious as we want as long as it’s within that room and it doesn’t get way way out of hand.

That is what I love. 

And every time I’m with this certain group of people I seem to get just that. 

What else is on the mind?

I have to job hunt tomorrow. As well as all weekend in the Toronto (Etobicoke) area.

Going to the apartment to stay the weekend. Mainly to job hunt but also to go to a Serenity screening at the Bloor Cinema with Melissa and Margo. So that should be wicked. I actually haven’t watched that in a while so it should actually be a pretty exciting watch.

I drink massive amounts of water. I really love water and when there isn’t a clean source of mass amounts of it, it really brings me down. It’s so little to ask for. It’s only like the 2nd most important thing we need to live. Guess I shouldn’t be complaining though. Things could be a lot worse.

I only mentioned it because I currently am thirsty AND have to pee.

Today I:

  • fixed up my Resume for jobs (not Steve)
  • enjoyed a good power outage
  • went to Aric’s and met up with Matt
  • enjoyed the vast landscapes of Red Dead Redemption
  • walked downtown to the Brown Dog Cafe
  • welcomed Nolan to the mix
  • drove to Alex’s apartment
  • played a single 3 hour game of Munchkin (amazingly won by the host himself)
  • drove to Sobeys for snacks
  • drove to my house to hang out
  • watched a Kurt Russell airplane disaster flick called “An Executive Decision” (terrible)
  • had a fun time hanging out in the basement and watching The Simpsons
  • seen them off on their journeys home
  • blogged about it (whined) 

*Note: This is not one of the blog topics I had in mind for the past week which is kinda obvious because this is spontaneous stupit, but it will do for now.

Movies to see in 2010.
Today I upload this for the first time and I also cross one of these off the list.

Adrift. My final project of second semester of Film and Media Production at Humber Lakeshore.

Edgar Wright’s latest film, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World’s teaser trailer came out today and and and JUST LOOK! It looks so freakin amazing! The action words within the movie look so much like a comic book and the visual style is just amazing. I’m so happy to see a movie that doesn’t have to based so much in reality and a guy can get whipped a mile away and bust through a stone wall and get back up. I think this movie will be great and that August 13th weekend will be one to look forward to all summer.  A late summer release reminds me of only one thing. Could this be the District 9 of 2010? I say yes sir!

The more beautiful everything is, the more it will hurt without you.

My Oscar picks for tonight. Now many of the films I have not seen and based most on word of mouth of what I’ve heard the many people who review and talk about film have said on various podcasts and in real life.  I am happy to see District 9 get nominated and think this is a fantastic step in the right direction for Hollywood.  Up I loved and think it will win at least one of the many categories it has been nominated in although it has a lot of good competition from what I hear this year. Christoph Waltz is a shoe-in my and most people’s opinions. The categories of Best Director and Best Picture were tough, personally I’d love to see District 9 or Inglorious Basterds win of course, but in reality I believe that it will either be The Hurt Locker or the juggernaut Avatar, the only question is which film will win which award? It ultimately came down to which film has more re-watchability for me and I would have to say Avatar. The spectacle that that film was is amazing and I could pop that in every 6 months and be fascinated by it’s shimmer and finish and crazy action battles and not be the least bit bored with it.  The Hurt Locker on the other hand, I thought, while well directed, was still just all about the tension in those bomb defusing scenes and that after you’ve seen them once or twice, they may not hold the tension like the first time when you had no idea what might happen. So there you have it, my Oscar picks. Here’s the link to print out and fill in your own picks to challenge yourself or your friends:Oscar Picks Sheet. Have fun tonight.
Cheers.
