I'm not a liar

I've just been busy lately. Really busy. Finals are upon me, 5 down, 1 to go. So after tomorrow night I'll be done with this quarter and get a break for a couple of weeks. From school at least. Still got work, but thats not really much. I've been tryin to get set up to do some video blogs, cause since i've been working with video so much these last 6 months i've gotten really interested in it. i saw some fathers day special at best buy that comes with a miniDV camcorder, a bad ass laptop and some editing software for $900. Even though I already have a laptop, the one in the package is better plus i get a camcorder and some editing software so i can actually do some video stuff. If only I had $900. Donations anyone? I may just sell this one, I can probably get $500 for it or so, which will cut down the cost of the new stuff.

I was trying to save this for a video post, but my USB port is messed up so i can't transfer any video files onto my computer. Yet another reason for a new laptop. But anyway, I got a haircut a couple of weeks ago. Now when I get my haircut, I don't like to chat. I just want to sit there, and you cut my hair. Thats the system I'm comfortable with. I usually go to the Cost Cutters by my house, and when I went on this particular day there was a new employee working. It was an abnormally large gay man. I have nothing against the gay man, in fact they usually do a fabulous job cutting my hair. This time was no different, the hair cut itself was fine. It was the overall experience that left me nervous. Usually when I get my haircut, the barber will ask me a question, I'll give a short, abrubt response letting them know that I don't like to talk, and the barber is fine with that. Not this guy. He just continues to babble, and the more he talks to me the more uncomfortable I get. The antisocial person that I am was writhing in my seat, hoping for this cursed haircut to come to an end. It was the most uncomfortable haircut ever.

On a more positive note, last night I movie hopped for the first time in a long time. I saw Mr. Brooks and Knocked Up. Both of these movies were fantastic. I guess the law of averages had Kevin Costner eventually making a good movie again, and coupled with William Hurt as his evil alter ego and Dane Cook, who gave a surprisingly real performance totally unlike anything I would expect to see him do, this film was outstanding. It was awesome to see the storyline develop and try to piece together the mysteries that encompassed the film. I don't want to give to much away, but since I heard that this actually got a lot of bad reviews, I'm campaigning for it now, so go see it. You won't be disappointed in the least. It's also got Demi Moore and Danielle Panabaker (Sky High!), who both did excellent jobs. Knocked Up was hilarious. It was not only incredibly funny, but it also had a good amount of heart to it, which is something I like to see in a movie. It's done by the same guys at 40 Year Old Virgin. Apparently Judd Apatow can write a great film. Also, if you want to see Ryan Seacrest go on a profanity filled tirade, then this is the film for you. On a side note, I really think thats how Seacrest is in real life, see the film. I know it's true. Its one of those films you'll go around quoting for the next 6 months, then another 6 months when it comes out on DVD. So yeah, good movies. I also saw Pirates the other day, another fantastic film. I heard mixed reviews from friends, anywhere from it was to long with drawn out action scenes to it was a really good movie. I went with the latter. It checked in at just under 3 hours, but with the exception of one scene in the final battle I liked it. Getting married in the middle of a battle was just to cheesy for me.

Ok, well thats it for now I guess. I gotta go get ready for a surprise party, so hope you kids enjoy the rest of the weekend and the start of your summers. Really, I'll write more now.
