Spy Vs. Spy
so upon threat of death im updating. Ive been meaning to anyway ive just been getting distracted by comics. Im started scratching the surface of this spider man one more day thing thats been happening. I heard awful things about it but it doesnt seem like such a horrible thing to be honest. they got rid of mary jane (who i hate)..sorta shes some super hero now but whatever gwen stacy is still dead harry is alive civil war is still happening and aunt may is still around and its back to the basics so right now im all for it. ive got like 20 more issues to read so we'll see where it goes.
anyway i made it up to brattfest and it was interesting the odd thing about this year was the fuckin DRAMA. it seem to stem a lot from the CT girls that people brought up (not all of them mind you) and every day someone was talking shit about someone, though not without good reason ususally. i for one stayed out of it all and got free beer and watched some music and had fun. it wasnt as fun as last year but i met a bunch of new people and heard some new bands so i was happy. nothing really worth commenting about sara freaked out carly was...well carly, mutiny played the parking lot, me and some of the kids at the fest talked about nerdy things like star wars for hours and me and justin debated how bad the star wars prequels really were. capture the flag didnt get interupted by the cops and my team unfortunatley lost. also nudity is now illegal in vermont (fascists) so i didnt now see any boobs this time around.
i left early to see american steel and alkaline trio in concert with teh laurz. american steel was good though the crowd was an alkaline trio crowd so they weren't into them as much as necessary and that made me sad but i bought a sweet shirt regardless. alkaline trios performance was pretty good and i got to hear them play radio which they did not play the last time i saw them. they played a bunch of their new songs too which sounded way better live then they did on cd. the cd is only worth a download at best and their shoe deal with nike is very dissapointing.
oh and why is it a rule that the headlining band always gets the best sound volumes? american steels mics were way too low WTF. and the band before them with the horrible singer well his mic was just fuckin fine that band "the fashion" they were called sucked major dick.
everythings been pretty sweet on my end of things just hang around kingston with teh laurz ive got her into heroes now cuz its awesome and we've been seeing all the summer blockbusters. Hellboy 2 was freaking awesome certainly on par with the first one (maybe even a little better) and feels like an authentic capturing of the hellboy feel adapted for a new medium. its a different direction than the comic books took but thats not a bad thing it makes watching the movies a whole new experience and doesnt make the comic books not worth haveing unlike the directors cut of sin city did.
hancock and wanted were ok the latter being a bit more superior. hanock was funny but the last act really started to get kinda lame and ive never seen a movie end on a gayer note but we saw hancock at the matinee showing and snuck into hancock so essentially we payed 3 bucks to see hancock which i deem a fair price. i saw the dark knight in the providence theatres on the big big screen and for those of you who havent seen it its the masterpiece everyone says it is. its my new favorite movie its elevated the super hero movie to such heights that i dont know where they could possibly go from there. i mean how could they make another batman movie every again or fuck ever show the joker again? unless maybe jeph loeb himself wrote the scipt which would be sweet cuz the dark knight definatley had a jeph loeb feel it at least for most of its characters the joker though....he was like something out of a garth ennis comic.
oh i also learned a funny bit of information about last years hobotrip. i had lost my pail releaver pills (advil i think) along the way so i started drinking king cobra and this vodka with mint mixer that kyle had put in it. we all ended up getting horribly drunk ( to varying states i being the worst) and me and caleb didnt quite know why. as it turns out the mixer that kyle put in it....HAD ALCOHOL IT IT. and he didnt fuckin tell us i thought he put mixer int he vodka not a fucking mixed drink...asshole. its a pretty funny story though.
another funny story is that tyler (or tylers friend) never turned in my old license plates for the civic that he said he did. so i had to report it stolen and have to go through this whole bullshit process of proving i didnt own the car all that time...fuckin tyler. he's playing for my plane ticket to washington though so i cant be too mad at him.
