Tid Bits
Ok so yah guys i'm having a animation movie night at my house on friday (tomorrow or today depending on when you read this). Friday is also buy nothing day so you can only participate in animation movie night if you can buy nothing for the whole day. That's a lie. I will let you come if you buy something but it would be way cooler if you didn't.
Ok so the movies we will be watching are as follows
Monster House
Over The Hedge
And possibly another one (i'll have to check out what movie are in)
Now for a few fun thing or sad things i have recently read:
"The Effects may be subtle - a slight anxiety, a cynical attitude, a wave of fear - but this makes them all the more insidious. You see a can of Coke in a movie, and you stop following the plot to deconstruct Coke's marketing strategy and determine that you've just been subjected to a paid product placement. You see a kid in a bandana loitering in a convenience store parking lot, and a flood of mental images and messages warns you that he may be a gang member. Instead of working, you check your email every 10 minutes in need of new information, fresh stimulus. You notice that you can't speak or listen for more than a minute anymore. Your mental environment is wearing thin." -Adbusters Kevin Arnold

There's a hole in my head.
Participate in buy nothing day tomorrow. Don't be a consumer for one day.
PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND MY MOVIE NIGHT
