So the new Anberlin cd is sounding really good.  2 tracks from the new cd are now up at http://www.purevolume.com/anberlin. 
Both are good.  Unfortunately they are kinda low sound quality,
and you can only stream them, not download them.  I will be happy
when that cd comes out.

So I just finished watching THX 1138 for the first time.  For
those who don’t know, it is George Lucas’ first feature film.  If
you watch A New Hope, you can hear it mentioned… one of the storm
troopers says something about 1138… like a model number of a droid or
something.

Anyway, from a technical perspective it’s really pretty good.  It
is visually interesting, the shots are well composed (except for a few
things which I think he inserted later, because of him being George
Lucas and feeling compelled to mess things up by adding worthless
things to them later, as is evident in Star Wars.)   
However, from a story standpoint it could have been better.  It is
hard to care about any of the characters because you feel very distant
from everyone.  You don’t really even have a clear idea of what
THX wants until the the middle of the movie… and until the very end
it doesn’t seem like there is a means by which that could possibly be
achieved.  But, I think it was beneficial for me to watch it.

I got a new cell phone.  It is pretty good.  It is much
better then my old one.  It has a camera on it.  It was
free.  Ummm… yeah.   Good ‘ol Motorola.  I wanted
the Motorola w/ bluetooth, but uhhh.. that would have cost me $150
instead of the whole free thing.  So if you want, you could give
me a call.  If you don’t have my number it’s301 followed by the
remaining 7 digits in my number that I don’t put online.  Just
guess at random, you’re bound to get it right sooner or later.

Ok bye.

Getting ready to go to the Christmas Eve service… so….

Merry Christmas to everybody.

Watched Shaun of the Dead last night.  Loved it 😉  Anyone
with an appreciation for zombie movies should like it, I would think.

So today is Christmas Eve.  That came fast.  That means a
really good dinner tonight followed by church followed by the opening
of presents.  Yeah, we do it on Christmas eve.  And if you’re
wondering, it’s way better.  Not that I am getting very much, due
to having recieved the thing I am presently typing on (my powerbook)
over the summer.

I am going to go back to playing Final Fantasy XI now though.

ahhh.. just watched The Punisher…  liked it as much this time
around as I did the first time.  The first time I saw it I was
just in the mood for something really dark and violent though, so I
thought that was maybe the only reason I liked it so much 😉

So I went to sleep at like 5 last night (or this morning, depending on
how you look at it), and woke up at about 2 today… I would have slept
later probably except it was way dark out cuz it was raining and I
thought it was way later, and got up.

It’s nice when time is meaningless.  Nice and sad.

So apparentyly this guy
thinks it would be a good idea if the calendar was identical every
year.  This means, for example, March 7th would always be on 
a wednesday.  Christmas and New Years would always fall on
sunday.  That’s weird

What’s weirder is that to keep it in line with the seasons, every 5 or
6 years (similar to leap years in the Gregorian calendar) there would
be an additional week-long mini-month, which he has dubbed “Newton
Week.”

He also proposes everyone switching over to GMT, rather then having seperate time zones, etc.

This is all interesting and I would think maybe it could happen
eventually, but I think it’s really funny that his target date for
achieving this is January 1, 2006.

So the other day Suprnova.org was shut down.  This is sad. 
They provided me with torrents to download all kinds of things. 
But no more.

However, I didn’t find out about them being shut down until last night,
because the past several days I have been using www.torrentspy.com.

Anyway, the point of this is that I have nothing else to post about, so
I thought I would direct anyone looking for a new torrent site to
replace Suprnova to this page: http://www.beatking.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9657

It contains a list of torrent sites, with a description of each. 
Although I must say, TorrentSpy is quite convenient, with the firefox
search plugin.. and all that.

I think I might be getting sick or something.  Like my throat is
all sore and stuff.  I mean…. For example, my throat is all sore
and… things.  I think that’s how it goes now, anyway.  😉

In other news, Adelphia has the slowest broadband internet service in
existance.  I can’t even play Halo 2 on X-Box Live.  I am
highly upset at them for this.  Plus it would help if it was
faster so I could download things more quickly.

ummm… that’s all i have to say.  I never really had anything to say to begin with.

I don’t know what else to say.
