I watched Return of the King last night, and I have to say, this is the way to make movies.

I was filing away my web invoices, when I stopped to look at them. I purchased three things in the last week:
I tried to rationalize any one of these purchases.
“Well, it’s imported from Japan, so it’s never going to come out here. Music games are genre of video gaming that American culture isn’t ever going to understand. I’m soooo indie.”
“Well, lots of people like the Lord of the Rings movies. Decent people with families and everything.”
“Well, I need 1000 feet of networking cable because. . .”
Needless to say, I failed miserably.
These are the receipts of a nerd.
Going through iPhoto, I started to put together a “best of” collection of all of the snapshots that I’ve taken this year. I noticed a lot of things.
I take a lot of pictures. There’s at least one image each month.
I see the things that I’ve done, and the people that I’ve spent time with. There are people I don’t see anymore, and people that I don’t see as often. I find that certain people are missing from the album, people that I feel that I should have pictures of.
There are things I need to do again. There are also things that I should never, ever do again–well, maybe on my next birthday.
I see, for the first time, a tangible, personal progression of one year’s time.
It is what a year means to me.
Somewhere in the United States, on a campus quad, there is a guy, sitting at a folding table, with a sign that says, “Stressed about finals? Take a hit!”
The poster has a large cannabis leaf on it, and hypothetically, the pipe that he’s lighting probably doesn’t have cherry almond in it.
All hypothetically, of course.
Also hypothetical were the three or so people that took a hit from the pipe.
Why a man would shoot an Xbox is beyond me. I could understand putting one out of its misery that isn’t working anymore, but a fully functioning Xbox?
Come on.
