Dark Knight
Ok, so Dark Knight kicked ass. I will see it again. I had intended to go see Iron Man twice(me even talking about going to see a movie twice is a rarity, so this means it was really damn good) but I never got around to it. The Dark Knight requires that I go see it twice at minimum(especially since I had to pee while they were looking at the bullet). I had been drinking a lot of venti caramel macchiatos all day at one of the 600 starbucks stores that is closing at the end of July(the one at Collington Plaza in Bowie). This starbucks has a great interior design, it's probably the biggest one in all of Bowie. However, it's all about location, location, location. And they couldn't have picked a worse location. It's in a strip mall, not visible from the major road, overshadowed by a 7eleven(which has a prime location on the strip and is visible from the road). We have a market saturation of starfuckers in Bowie. Collington Plaza, 3 different ones at Bowie Town Center(stand-alone, safeway, and Barnes&Noble), 1 on 450, and 1 on 197, oh and 1 in Target. There's more if you count the parts of Bowie that are intermeshed with Glen Dale. So yeah. Collington Plaza, by far had the shittiest location though. Low traffic of customers=great study location, and as of late, I've been studying like a mad-man on weekends on my new laptop with my CPA Exam study software. It will be missed.
So back to Batman, the movie makes you question your own sanity. Like what a person is capable of, what boundaries are we willing to cross. The great thing about director Christopher Nolan's interpretations of Batman is that it isn't that far-fetched. Chaos is a powerful force. Take hurricane Dolly, or Katrina. There's no reasoning with the weather, no bargaining. Imagine dealing with people that are like that.
I'm planning on seeing it in IMAX at the Udvar-Hazy. I shouldn't have to explain what that is. This is the internet that we're sitting on. And I might see it another time at a normal theatre, like Bowie Regal(which is funky with rampant mildew). I saw it first at Hyattsville Regal and that is a badass theatre that you better not fuck up or I will kill you at your work. And if you are unemployed, I will hook you up with a job(like I did with Pascha) and I will kill you there(hypothetically speaking, of course).
WHo the fudgescicle is Pascha? Pavel. 1 of 2 Ruskies that were staying at my house cuz my parents offered up the house to them. The other guy is Dmitriy or "Dma". They're foreign exchangers here for the summer, promised jobs that didn't pan out, so they needed housing and jobs and me & my famile hooked them up with both(with help from J-Dogg for Pascha's job).
They are back just this week cuz the old bag they are renting from now is having fam for funeral over and needed to put them up, but they'll be gone Friday night. At first I was very against the whole thing when I heard it was happening, and then it was kinda cool, but it got old fast as I feel like I have to be their friend and escort them all over. This is not my job and I have studying to worry about. BTW, if anyone knows of any parties happening, they would love to be in attendance. And who doesn't love the novelty of foreigners getting drunk as Russians at a house party? Of course, they are Russians.
I'm getting sick of the whole election cycle, which never ever seems to end, but it seems much worse this year than any before. And I talk about it, way too much and stay on top of all the gaffes by McCain and the media. So far, I've noticed two of my friends from High School are supporting McCain on their Facebook and it makes me question their intelligence in the same way that I question the intelligence of anybody that believes in God, as I am an atheist and I know that I am right on this one. I also question the intelligence of people that still own large SUVs. Don't they know that they can trade those in for Corollas that get 26/35MPG? I would complain more about gas except I only fill my tank once a week, whereas with my 1991 Buick Regal, I was filling up 3 times a week.
My bees are still alive and we got mentioned in an official EPA blog, or so I've heard from very reliable sources. I mailed in my Demolition Derby entry form this morning. The mechanic is slacking though and needs to finish my car. My tags got stolen too, supposedly. But I'm getting a refund on them, so I don't care.
Is Adam Duritz mixed or just likes dreads?
I saw Snoop Dogg and 311 this past Sunday. I found a tick on my leg and I could see it had crab-like claws. Icky, those things gives me tha heeby-jeebys. I so do not want lyme disease after hearing about all the crap my cousin went through.
I've now joined the rest of the world that has an iPod thanks to Leila. Those gadgets are seriously addictive. I found myself floating around the office the other day wearing it on my belt last week, when I was goin back & forth to the print room. They're going to let us start doing flex schedules next month where we work four 10hour days a week, instead of five 8hour days. I don't know if I'll like it since 8 hours already seems like a stretch most days with my workload. Like today, I had such a productive day that I finished everything I needed to get done before lunchtime and I came back from lunch and spent the rest of the day on digg.
Persepolis is really awesome. Americans really need to watch it to get a better understanding of Iran, before we decide to go and make war with them too. Up until about two weeks ago, I didn't give a shit about Israel. I figured it'd be a good thing for Palestinians and everyone else in the middle east to have their way and get Iran to blow them off the face of the map. But I researched this thing and Leila enlightened me some too and it turns out that Israel is kinda like what happens when the United States invests A LOT of money in one country. They have the highest rate of college grads in the middle east, they develop tons of software for America, you've got Warren Buffett buyin financial institutions there because they're so solid. Palestine is wanting Israel for the wrong reasons. Or at least to me, it seems they just want the land back. To me this is wrong and they should be hating on Israel out of jealousy. Nobody likes a spoiled brat and that is what Israel is. They have everything way better. We could probably save a whole lot more money and make the middle east a lot more stable if we would just invest in education in other countries instead of war. I'm sure it's not as simple as that of course. And why do it there, when we have domestic problems? And it all ultimately seems to go back to America wanting the oil out of every country in the middle east and nothing else matters and war would seem to be the fastest way to acquire it. It's not the cheapest way, but it's not like the people making profit off of the oil are the ones that are having to pay for the war, that's what the U.S. government is for. The government is being used as a financier to corporations just so they can make profits and funnel some of that back to the elected officials through networks as complex as Al Qaeda's money laundering.
Which brings me back to Batman. I would not at all be surprised that the U.S. is funding Al Qaeda is some way. In comics, Batman can't kill the Joker and the Joker doesn't want to kill the Batman because he needs him. They need eachother. It is hot, trust me. This is inter-racial dating at its finest. The U.S. government needs an enemy, even though it seems like they have no trouble making them these days. Scott, funny you said making enemies. That was half-intentional. The U.S. has either indirectly or directly or both had a hand in creating Al Qaeda and the resistance in Iraq. What happens when there is no more oil? It's not just a car thing, lost of industries need by-products for various reasons and transportation includes transportation of goods like food. Will the world and U.S. be shocked into a dark ages? Will the world become more isolated on both macro and micro levels? Will that be a huge monkey wrench in the whole global community thing? I could pose questions all day, but I have to go take a dump.
