Stupid Harry Pooper

I went and saw the new Harry Pooper movie for a second time a couple days ago, with the hopes that it would be better the second time around. Nope. This movie lacks some serious features that movies should have like character development, character arc, substance... I don't mind so much that features from the book are missing, that's to be expected at this point. But at least let the poor people who haven't read the book get to know the characters. This movie is nothing but a brief commercial for the book, a fukn teaser. I'm happy that I got to see the dragons and characters and efx and stuff. However, this movie is not a good movie. For all of those who say it is, please stop. This movie is about as entertaining as a two hour sitcom, which can be very entertaining. But it is not a good movie. Wait until they are all out and watch them in a row, maybe then you will get a feeling of knowing who the characters are and feel some form of development in them, which is after all what a good movie does.
Now I will go and see thumbsucker, which has the potential of being a good movie. I'm sure it's because the folks who worked on it didn't expect a majority of the country to pay good money to see it based on the fact that it has a cult following. I'm a little bitter about the Harry Pooper thing.

I can't shake this feeling

It's been about a week since ringo left. Our living room smells like oil paint, cause of the new creepy painting I did. I can't seem to lose this odd depressed feeling I seem to have aquired recently. I don't know where it came from. It's creeping up to my mom's birthday, and I miss her. That could do it. The sun has been going down around 4:30. That could do it. I miss my friends. That could do it.
The microwave dinged to me that my food stuff is heated.
I'ma go eat on it and contemplate how I'm still and the 4th demension is going past me.
Don't worry yall about my emotional funk...I'll be okay. Funk not only moves funk can remove...dig,

Ode To Ringo Bird

Today Ringo leaves us for a new flock. It is a sad but good change. We will miss him...


Oh yea B-day

I had a great B-day party!
We ate chili and everyone laughed and had fun!
I got two great books, a Charlie Craft head, a Piece of Aimee art, a knife sharpener, an eye mask thingy and a beautiful friggin microphone with a new stand!!!! It's an AKG mic and Ilona is the greatest girl ever!

Now I'm gonna do myself a favor and go to sleeps.

Oh yea, I started using AIM again so if any of you have it let me know and we can get on each others buddy lists and keep in better touch.

goodnight.

Scene

Little girl 1 : I got shot in the head once.

Little girl 2 : My mom got shot in the boob, but luckily she had breast implants so it was ok.

Creepy Italian thug looking guy : I've been shot so many times.

Funny looking black player looking guy : Oh man the times I've been shot...

Mike and I just exchanged funny looks and kept walking.

Scene from Downtown Portland today. True story.

Life moves...

So on a happy note, I cut back my hours at TIS in order to do more freelance type work, I won a power conditioner on ebay for my recording studio, we have a string quartet lined up to record for a song, and I still have the use of my limbs. However, life moves. The world is a slightly mornful place for me today. Ringo is leaving our family. Ilona has decided that it is time for it to happen, and I am supporting her in whatever she decides to do when it comes to Ringo. We are going to be putting him up for adoption in mid november. He will be going to a loving home that will have more time for him. This is a good change but it still makes me sad. I will miss the little screamer...not the screaming though...only the cute parts. He is a member of our family and it will be strange without him but this is the right thing to do.
Oh yeah, and the wedding is on july 15th! I still have to call some of you to talk about it. Sheila, Otha, my dad....half of frikn Minneapolis. But if you see this before we call you please call us! It will be in Tacoma, Washington. We have lots of room to store people (more without ringo here), and hopefully we can work out some transportation issues.

Now in order to fulfill another of my many tasks I have to "fuk the google system" or something like that. (see one of the comments on some post somewhere)

Today I saw and almost got an old underwood typewriter...it was awesome. Pink diamond rings would most likey cramp my sophistication... but an Underwood would do me right. Or maybe just some platinum from some precious metal market... I can't eat platinum, at least not yet. Wait until I get my robot head and body though... then it's on.
Some of you should call Ilona (Sarah, Ashely!!!) I think she could use a hug, even if it's just a phone call hug.
I miss you all.
