Teknolust
Yes, it is true... I finally got Facebook. Kind of useless because the Facebook trend is probably on its way out in a year or so.
I don't think of it as me giving up. It's more like the world has given up. Because I keep meeting people and they ask me if I have Facebook and I kept saying no and then they give me a blank look like, "Shit. Is this dude Amish or something?? Without Facebook there's like, totally no way to ever get in contact with him!" And they breathe a small disappointed and confused sigh and resign themselves to not include me in their social life, which is apparently modeled after Facebook, ever.
With that melodramatic paragraph over I would go on record saying that Facebook will probably be like iPods were too me. Seemingly WAY over-rated until I got one myself and realized how convenient and useful it actually was. So far I have gotten nothing out of it but I'm sure it'll end up being cool.
Yesterday I hung out with my friend Yuka. We talked about jobs and stuff a little bit because she finished SFU's Criminology program and we're both looking for similar jobs right now. I mentioned that I was looking into emergency dispatch for the VPD. After a drink with her I went to go get my bike and head home when I random saw Desire Olexy walking down the street. So we ended up hanging out for a little bit and she asked if I lived here and if I was working or going to school or what. I told her my deal and she was like, "Oh dude, I'm a co-manager at a coffee shop and we're hiring right now! Come in tomorrow with a resume." So that was pretty cool how that potential job just fell in my lap.
After we were done hanging out I got home and Yuka had sent me an email with a link to Burnaby city's website and there was a job posting for emergency dispatch! So I applied for that too.
This week I watched the movie Mysterious Skin. It's about gay people and aliens and I highly recommend that you don't see it. There is no plot and no twist and they give away the end of the movie in the first five minutes. The acting is pretty good though.
I also watched the movie Teknolust. Don't see this either. The only redeemable part about this movie is Jeremy Davies. It's about androids who are a crossover between computer virus and human virus. They make tea out of semen and drink it to survive and they infect people by having sex with them. It's retardedly retarded. Somehow this movie avoids being in any genre. It's not action. It's not comedy. It's not drama. It's just boring.
Earlier this month I saw Inglorious Basterds. I won't say much about it because it's a movie people are actually likely to see. I'll say that I like most Tarantino movies but I didn't like this one. Not my favourite.
I also watched Thumbsucker. It's one of those movies like Bottle Rocket or The Squid and The Whale where the plot is pretty vague and the ending is really obscure but you take something from the movie anyways. It was pretty good.
Lobsters mate for life but it's not because they're dedicated or faithful. It's because they know how ugly they are and how unlikely it is that they'll find someone else.
