Enemy of the State
Enemy of the State, which I just got done watching again, is still one of the best movies of all time in terms of 'spy v. spy' type stuff.
Food for thought?
I've never understood that...
Food for thought? It's just never made sense to me. I mean, I get the basic concept, but where does it come from. Who actually thought to say, "food for thought" thinking that it was a logical statement.
There's a lot to be said of things that I've been doing of late. I haven't had a lot of time for the web. But, there's a few things I've done that I feel I should mention, which is why I'm blogging.
Wow. I started writing this post a couple weeks ago, and I've just found a few minutes to try and type.
I'm in some dire straights at the moment, in terms of money anyway. I'm in the process of trying to find a second job, which is something I've not wanted to do. However, I don't have a lot of choice at the moment. It's not that big of a deal, because I've worked 60 to 80 hrs a week in the past, so it isn't that I can't do it. It's more the principle, at this point in my life, I'd like to be past needing to work two jobs to make ends meet.
Of course, I will do what I need to do. And it's not that I've never known people in even better positions than myself who've done it as well. It's just frustrating. Hopefully, though, it will only be a year or so, and I'll finally be where I want to be. Out of debt.
The way that I figure it, there's 168 hours in the week. If I'm working 80 and sleeping for 40, that leaves me 38 hours a week for everything else. It's not as nice as having nearly 80 hours a week of free time. Of course, no matter what you do, it never feels like you have as much free time as you do time at work.

My God! I can't even remember the last time that I updated you on the movies I'd seen. I think I might have mentioned how bad the Transformers was, but I don't think I've talked about The Simpsons, or Harry Potter.
I've actually been watching a lot of movies, mostly due to the fact that I haven't had the money to do much of anything else lately. I watched the first two Bourne movies yesterday, and realized, again, how great they are. I absolutely love them, even if I generally hate Matt Damon. I'm hoping to get out and see the new one very soon.
The new Harry Potter is pretty good, but I was pretty upset at the sheer volume of cop-out montages. Considering the fact that The Order of the Phoenix is longest of all the books, it's ridiculous that they would make the movie the shortest of the series to date. Apart from that, however, it was a pretty great movie. I was really hoping that they would done more with the Weasly Twin's spectacular departure from Hogwarts, but I could even over look that and accept the movie.
The Simpsons, however, just pissed me off. It wasn't near what I was hoping for. Considering how long the damn thing had been in productions, it's ridiculous to me that they could have done such a pathetic job with it. It was basically just a really long episode that had nearly nothing they couldn't and hadn't done on the network, save Homer flicking off the entire town and Bart's exposed penis. And, I can say that neither of those were really so risque that I was wowed. I was very disappointed.
I've also gotten to see a few more of the After Dark Horrorfest series films. Specifically Wicked Little Things, Reincarnation (RINNE) (From the director of The Grudge and the Grudge 2), and The Gravedancers. That means that I have seen all of them except The Abandoned, and Dark Ride.
As to what the quality, I really enjoyed Reincarnation, however, The Gravedancers was terrible and Wicked Little Things was only mediocre. But, overall, I enjoyed them, as a whole, I still stand by my thought that I would have loved to go to the actual Festivle, maybe I'll make it out this year, the new Horrorfest is supposed to be November 9-18 with 8 More Films to Die For.
That's it... for now.
There's a lot more for me to talk about but I haven't got the time right now, but I'm sure that you could have guessed that I don't have a lot of time these days.... what time I do have I don't want to spend typing here.
Later.
