Sick from the Bowels of Hell or NHL Playoffs Going Strong

I was given the opportunity to go into work yesterday to do some cleaning of the file room in the basement. Needing the money, I acquiesced. Man oh man, I should've said no to that crap. First of all, the place hasn't been touched in probably 10 years. There were boxes of paperwork from 1975! There was also a 10 year layer of dust built up on EVERYTHING. I have a dust allergy, so this was not a good thing. I had to dig through boxes to find ones that contained old waybills for shredding. I began the day healthy as a buck and ended it with laboured breathing, watering eyes, runny nose, congested sinus, etc. Pills and medication did little to alleviate the suffering. A good night's sleep was interrupted by fits of sneezing and runny nose. I might need to go find some other medicine to make me better. On the plus side, it was supposed to be a 2 day job, but I finished it in one. On the negative side, I lose out on 8 hours and am sick. Did I mention the mouse poo?
I've been watching the NHL playoffs with some regularity. It's the time of year I always check out... well at least the last 2 and every one until the Jets left. Go Sens!

Should I go to a Different Blog Site? or A Week of Full-Time Done!

I've been thinking lately about changing to a different format/site for this here blog that's getting a little long in the tooth. This is the THIRD year that I've been writing random nothingness to the amusement of none. Blogger is too limited with regards to posting pictures, so I would like to use something better. I hear that myspace is alright, but would really prefer some testimonials from some of y'all as to the best site to use. Post those comments people!
I managed to back door my way into a weeks worth of full time shifts over the past 7 days. 40 hours sure makes up for the previous weeks total of ZERO. I like my job for the most part, but the sheer randomness of the schedule is really frustrating. Especially for someone who wants to move out before the age his brother did (27). Hurry up Stobes! I've told you that I'd do the cooking and cleaning!!!! You just need to pay the bills. :) Oh yeah, I'd like to move downtown, actually the Osbourne village area. That way we'd be hip or something.
I baked some chocolate wheat puff treat thingy today. The recipe was on the back of my puffs of wheat cereal bag. It was way easy. Let's hope it turns out tasty.
South Park Season 7 is hella funny. And by hella funny I mean awesome.
My back is no longer sore! I have begun to actually stretch a little before work, so I hope that does the trick. I'll also remember to stretch before working out, even if it takes more time.
The new Prince album is pretty rockin'. It's too bad he can't bust out all the raunchy lyrics he used to. I guess Jehova's witnesses aren't allowed to sing about poon. (That word is funny).
I'm looking to shoot our feature film debut this July, so I will need people to help and do jobs that I don't want to. Does anyone want to build a website for us? I'm looking at you Stobes.
I have decided to post short bullet point sentences in order to keep my attention right now, which is waning fast.
TNA Lockdown is this Sunday night. Looks like a good show. I will be checking it out with Dan, Lee and some other assorted miscreants live on PPV. Maybe I'll bake a cake! That would be fun.
There are some people who I haven't seen in a while but miss the company of. Perhaps I will call them... or maybe just an email will do.
Do you realize that with the current rules enforced by the RIAA on such things as sampling and whatnot, that rap music would never have been able to exist? Is that a good thing, or a bad thing??
I need more money.
I hate whiny blogs filled with annoying emo people. Thankfully I am neither.
I need a better job.
Uh oh... veering dangerously close to the emo here...
I have a great girlfriend.
Whew, crisis averted!
Why do the birds have to die? All they want to do is fly FREE!
AAAAAARRRRFGGH. EMO BLOG ALERT!!!!! SAVE ME!!!!! My parents won't buy me a BMW. I'm the king of sorrow. (Makes the bird shadow puppet motions)

Match Point or Sore Back

I checked out "Match Point" at the cheap theatre with Erin the other night and we were both mightily impressed. It's a great dark comedy/thriller/social satire piece that was well worth the $1.75 admission. You'd never know that is was a Woody Allen movie! I'm a little unclear as to why they constantly were showing the boom mic in shots... I have theories, but nothing confirmed. Strangely enough, none of the writing on the net seems to mention this fact. Any ideas out there?
The past little while my lower back has been sore. I assume this is from a job that requires a great deal of lifting and my general lack of stretching and preparing before workouts. I guess the days where I could just bust in and bust out are over. Stupid age!
I had to pick up a tripod for my camera the other day. I wasn't really looking to get a cheapo crappy model, but I also did not want to spend $500! I settled on a mid-level unit for $260, which was high enough. It's a solid piece of equipment and should do the job nicely. Best of all is the fact that it comes with a carrying case! Woot!
The feature film that we hope to shoot this summer is coming along nicely. The script is done and I've been mentioning the project to various people who are more than willing to chip in. It should be a whole hell of a lot of fun! Now all I need is more money.

Deals, Deals, Deals or What to do?

While looking for double CD jewel cases last night at Wal-Mart, I stumbled across a deal so good I had to bite. It was a double pack of the first and second seasons of the Original Outer Limits show from the 60's. This 2 pack was $32, whereas I had just recently seen them retail SEPERATELY for $45 each. Despite never having seen this show, I bit. Having heard good things I hope that it was a wise purchase. I also managed to add to my blacksploitation collection with "Shaft's Big Score" and "Cleopatra Jones, " both of which were $4.87. Check out my massive DVD Collection at this LINK.
Now that my class is done, I can focus on the feature film we hope to shoot this summer. The first draft of the script is finished, so now it revision time! I plan on calling in as many helpers as I can on this, so if you are interested drop me a line. It's going to take real teamwork to get an entire feature finished with virtually no money. With that said, it'll be super fun and well worth the headaches to see the finished product. At least I hope!!!!
I've been going to movies for a while without any updates of what I have seen on here, which was a staple in the old days. Here is a list dating back to around xmas time (as best as I can remember):
Underworld: Evolution, Munich, Crash, King Kong, Aeon Flux, Metal: A Headbanger's Journey, Slither, The Ringer, V for Vendetta, Beowulf and Grendel, Capote, Memoirs of a Geisha, Chronicles of Narnia, Neil Young: Heart of Gold, Syriana, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, A Sound of Thunder, ... now I'm drawing a blank here. I'm sure I've seen more than this. Oh well, the shittier movies on the list were all seen at the cheap theatres, so I did not pay full price for the torment inflicted on my eyes. Then again, most of these were seen at the cheap theatre... 75 cent movies!!!
Metric concert tonight!
