no Sun day

Rainy rainy stormy stormy day.

So i watched 4 movies.

1. Julien Donkey-Boy: A film by Harmony Korine shot under the rules of Dogma 95. Filmmaker Werner Herzog played the role of the father in the dysfunctional family the film depicted. He was awesome in every scene he was in. It was also one of the most beautiful films shot on video I've seen. Def check it out.

2. G.I.Joe: You know what. I enjoyed this. The 12 year old inside me enjoyed it, and so did the 22 year old. It is what it is, a big dumb effects action movie. The action scenes were pretty cool and well staged, and the whole underwater battle was something i was pleasantly surprised with. It was cool to see Joseph Gordon Levitt play the role of Cobra Commander. But by far the best part of the film was Sienna Miller. Seriously, Damn. Check it out if you were ever a 12 year old boy at one time in your life, if you weren't, then don't.

3. A Perfect Getaway: I figured out the big twist 5 min into the movie. But it was still alright, and the structure and character development of how they dealt with this twist was interesting. The cinematography was nice, but it never hurts when you're shooting in remote beaches of Hawaii. Rent it.

4. Ken Park: Written by Harmony Korine and the perfect movie to watch with your grandparents.



Also performed stand-up tonight at Boulder Coffee. Wasn't originally scheduled to do it but when i walked in to watch the person who runs it said some people didn't show up and asked if i wanted to go up, so i was like sure why not. The crowd was pretty good tonight, and i felt really good the whole time up there. During the beginning of my set this girl started talking on her cell phone, in the front row no less, so i tried my shot out at heckling her for being Jar Jar Binks style rude.

Went for a sweet 5 mile run today. Went through a bunch of places I've never ventured through in Mt. Hope Cemetery. Drank from this leaking old water pump. The water looked clean, i just hope it wasn't run off from the dead. So who knows, maybe I'll be possessed tomorrow or something.

Got a free vacuum cleaner and some pots from the neighbors yard sale.

Went to the Rochester 175th Anniversary commemorative Laser Light show at High Falls. It was pretty funky weird. They had all these weird children's songs to creepy looking laser people, then these little vignettes of famous rochesterarians like George Eastman then this dude called Rattlesnake Pete. It was all very odd.

Played a bunch of pool while listening to sick music.

FRI=DAY

Slept in. Late.

Ate some pretty dang good sushi.

Went to this sweet Museum called The Powerhouse where it was all installation art. Some really groovy stuff in there.

Went to a dog and cat museum.

Drove back to America.

Stopped by Mighty Taco, not as good as i remembered when i was a kid.

Still tired from dancing last night.

ThurzDay

Went to Toronto in America Part II with a couple friends.

Ate an amazing Prime Rib pizza.

Saw Crookers, this DJ duo from Italy at this dance club. To put it frankly, it was sick as fuck. Danced my ass off. Had an awesome time. Met some really cool local girls and dudes. Didn't go to bed until 7am. Toronto is awesome.

Wed Nes Day

Watched the French action/parkour film District B13 Ultimatum, the sequel to District B13 which was in turn direced by the Frenchman who directed Taken, which were both bad ass. There weren't any subtitles or dubbing, but I could still follow the story pretty much. But the story and the dialog were not this films strong points to begin with. Here its all about the fights and the parkour chases, and it definitely delivered. My only complaint is that it needed a stronger climax, it built up to one, but it just didn't culminate. Nevertheless, it was still pretty sweet. And I strongly recommend checking it out once they get subtitles on it, and most definitely check out the original.

Went for a 6 mile run, down to the river and back. Am really enjoying the pull up bars down near the walk bridge on the UofR campus. I checked out some of that campus today, and it has quite a lot of places to do some sick shit. RIT is pretty dry on that department.

Ate an awesome slice of pizza from Marks.

Went to my first day of stand up class up in Webster at The Comedy Club. So far so good.

Came back and watched Cannibal: The Musical with a bunch of peoples.


Shpadoinkle.

Tues Day

Road a bunch of trails on Pinnacle Hill then up to these woods north east of the city. Got shown up by a bunch of 12 year olds doing gnarly jumps. Got eaten up by insects in the woods. Climbed this cable across this forest canyon thing. Didn't do the whole span, but am going to next time when we have a camera.

Went and saw the fantastic documentary film Food Inc. I felt very uneasy the whole movie as more and more information spilled off the screen. If you are living person, and you eat food, you should watch this movie. CHECK OUT THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE. Seriously, check it out. Most recommended film of the year... so far. GI Joe has yet to come out.....

Climbing in the woods

taken on camera phone, better ones to come.

Mon Day

Today today today was a beeootiful day outside.

Took Geno for a walk to go meet Reggie.

Went for an awesome 7 mile run, to Park Ave, up to Highland Park, through the cemetery, climbed over a fence into UofR, and back home.

Went and saw Year One at the dollar theatre with all the dudes. It was actually quite funny, and i enjoyed it thoroughly. This was the kind of movie that did not take itself seriously and just had Jack Black playing Jack Black and Michael Cera playing Michael Cera which worked out well. I have always liked having modern dialogue in ancient and historical times for comedy. Whenever i think of the past i imagine all the cool people like Marco Polo and Leonardo Da Vinci talking all sarcastically and witty instead of the stiffs like most movies portray them.

Everything was going fine until i stopped by a friends place and on the TV was the most disgusting commercial i have ever seen. Not just the most disgusting commercial, but the most disgusting thing i have seen this year. It was an add for Miracle Whip, where they put at least six spoon fulls of this stuff on a burger, and the lady squeezed it, and it came gushing out the side. Seriously i barfed in my mouth. Fuck that shit.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

Jesus balls, orange creamsicle pop tarts are a travesty to mankind and everything that is beautiful and good in this world.

It is the culinary equivalent to a toxic waste dumb.


I just needed to vent this, and to warn others.
