Anyone know any good Lorem Ipsum jokes?

So I'm 2175 words into a 2500 word paper and I'm seriously considering just putting in 325 words worth of Lorem Ipsum in there and hoping to god my doc film teacher doesn't notice...

Last paper of the semester, I JUST WANT TO BE DONE!

Documentary's You Should See

So I've just finished my semester, having taken this wonderful documnetary film class and I thought I'm share the high lights.

Gimme Shelter (1970): This film by the Maysles brothers, is about the Rolling Stones, and the time leading up to the contropversial concert they played at Atltamont stadium which resulted in the death of one of the concert goers at the hands of the Hells Angels, who the band had hired as security. Now alot is missing from this film, for example you never see any of them do drugs, drink or have sex, which lets be honest, is most of what they were doing at the time, but the heart of the films lies In the scenes where Zwerin (the films editor) is showing the band the footage of the concert. Also Tina Turner makes the sexiest cameo EVER!

Following Sean (2005): A follow up to a student film he made entitled Sean, director Ralph Arlyck uses following Sean as a way to catch up with the young boy he knew so long ago, as well as a way to talk about his own life and the experiences they share. More autobiographical then you would expect, but you can't help but be pulled in by the simple lives of these two men and the film that they first made. Try to watch Sean as well as Folowing Sean.

Wrestling With Shadows (1998): Directed by Paul Jay Wrestling with Shadows chronicles the last year of Brett "The Hitman" Hearts last year in the WWF (later the WWE) especially the months leading up to the infamous "Montreal Screwjob". Arguably not the most well made documentary, but extermly entertaining, considering the built in story line and the complexity of Hearts character.

Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003): Life and Death of a Seiral Killer is the second film Nick Broomfield did about famed female serial killer Aileen Wournos, the first being about her trial, and this the second on, about her execution. It is completly impossible to watch this film and not feel a huge amount of sympathy for Wournos. Broomfield, who clearly has a complexe relationship with Wournos (he is one of the only people that she will to see her, and the only one allowed to interview her) plays a large part in the development of the film, and becomes integral to the attempts to stay her execution. A much different portrait of Wournos then Hollywoods Monster.

Touching the Void (2003): Kevin Macdonalds film about one of the most extraordinary climbing experiences of all time, does what no film I've ever seen has ever done: managed to make dramatic recreations completly engaging and compelling. This is one of those movies where you know the ending, yet the you are on the edge of your seat the entire time. The film is the retelling of two mens attempt to climb Siula Grande when one of the men gets injured. The sound for this film is amazing, and I defy anyone not to feel every excuritating second of this film.

So those were some of my favorites! Enjoy!

Sometimes I think in song

Lighthouse By The Hush Sound

Take what you need while there's time
The city will be earth in a short while
If I'm not mistaken it's been in flames
You and I will escape to the seaside

There is a storm in the distance
The wind breathing warning of its imminence
There is a lighthouse five hundred yards down
You and I will be safe there

There is a girl who haunts that lighthouse
She saved me, I was swimming
So young I almost drowned
Under the water she sang a story
Of losing her lover
She calls a warning

Love, you are foolish, you're tired
Your sleeplessness makes you a liar
The city is burning
The ocean is turning
Our only chance is the lighthouse

Her lover was a sailor
She went and she waited there
The door locked from the outside
Lover never arrived so she sings there
Soft as a siren luring the ships off their course, how alarming

We went in, we climbed up and looked out
The door locked from the outside
Three ghosts in a lighthouse

We've got 400 hundred years of knowledge on these guys!

So since my computers been busted I've actually read a book. Now don't get me wrong I love reading and I used to do it all of the time, but when your reading 50 pages a week per class at school, leisure reading really get pushed to the back burner! So I found Timeline in a box of books at home (my parents don't actually own books, they buy them at church sales and then hand them off to other people who in turn give them a box full of other books, it's a very complex system but it seems to work for them) and I'd seen the movie back in the days when I used to work at the vid store in O-town, and I though I'd give it a try. Now I don't love Crichton, but the man did ER and Jurassic Park so I though to my self "it can't be that bad!" (cause lets be honest Congo wasn't great) but honestly I really enjoyed it. I can see why they made it into a movie, It's practically already written as a script! I'll hand it to Crichton though, home boy did his research! Or at least he makes a good job at pretending like he did!

Postcards from Rehab!

So it's day six of not having a computer, I've moved from vomiting ever hour to just having the worst case of the shakes and an intense craving for chocolate. I wonder if they have rehab for techno addicts? Speaking of techno addicts I was fortunate enough this week to be able to attend the Concordia Presidents Day Conference . I was invited to participate in the afternoon conference on "The Addictive Network" featuring talks by Drs. Bart Simon and Bill Bukowski. Dr Bukowski mostly ended up talking about friendship ad the web while Dr. Simon focused largely on online gaming. It was a super interesting day and I was extremely happy to be a part of it. The part on addiction was weird, cause as much as I love technology I've realized I can survive better then I thought without it.

I haven't tried to turn on my computer in 6 days just because I want to make absolutely sure that it is dry before I do in hopes that it will turn back on. I honestly don't think it will but hey, it doesn't hurt to try!

Bahaha! and I just realized if you scroll to like 4/5's of the way through that video you can actually see/hear me making a comment!

Hot Choclate is the Death Star and my computer is Alderaan

So I'm retarded!

As I blog from a foreign computer I can only look back and this that I am indeed a complete idiot!

Yesterday,in an unprecedentedly retarded move I managed to practically throw an entire cup of hot chocolate ALL over my key board. Naturally the whole thing shut down and has been unresponsive since. I'm now blogging from my sisters virus infested PC and I've never felt dirtier in my entire life. Hopefully like the guy at the genius bar suggested, it will dry out in the next 3 to 5 days and will power up then. That or I've blow my logic board as well as my RAM and I'll basically have to get a whole new computer...which i will have to pay for cause my 300$ warranty doesn't cover human stupidity (Translation: Liquid Damage. Not really looking forward to that one seeing as I have NO MONEY!
So as brown junk continues to pour out of the inputs of my computer at least... I actually have no way to end that sentence... Fuck my life...

So lesson learned, Drinking hot choloate while shopping at Ikea online don't mix!
