Nonsense For Christmas

I almost always seem to watch Super Hero movies when they open in theatres, like SpiderMan, The Hulk, and even Iron Man. Yet somehow The Dark Knight seemed to slip past me. It just didn’t seem enticing enough considering the first one was all right. Apparently  everyone who isn’t me went to go see the damn thing and couldn’t stop saying “Why so serious?” Thats one of the other things that stoped me from seeing that movie. I had to see what the damn fuss was about.

I got the Dark Knight and popped it in last night to watch it.  First off the Cinematography is superb. Im one of the only people that can udermine a stupid plot if the cinematography wows me enough. Another thing i noticed, the joker is a crazt motherfucker. Seeing as i’m not an avid comic book reader, I had never really known about the Jokers backround untill now. He lived a torn life. The joker character crazy enough to make you surprised. Then there is the severe plot holes. The joker is a clown not a magician, but that doesn’t stop him from popping up everywhere at any point dressed up in any manner anticipating Batmans next move. The Jokers teleaportation might only really get past 6year olds but no me, if the joker winds up in a hospital in a split second im going to ask “How did he get ther, how?”

The movie is also very long. The back of the box says its 153min. long. However i liked how its not predictable. Countless number of times commercials have ruined plots or endings for me, but this movie gives aways enough to get you excited and reel you back in to make you say , wait i thought it would surely end there. Maybe its not right to judge the movie even though i only watched about half of it. But the part i watch was enough to give up on it. And another thing the whole Heath Ledger thing just won’t end. During the movie his death and the joker enduced circumstances sorrounding it came up at leats twice.  Im not saying its a horrible movie, Im just sayiong some parts are really awesomely done, and others beg you to say COME THE FUCK ON!

Im going to give it another shot tonight.

Not Really

While the online Apple boasts that you can say “anything” by engraving it on the back of your ipod, its a lie. Even though the engraving is free,and you are paying to purchase the ipod, naturally you shoul be able to write what ever comes to mind. Not the case. Things that are deemed ris-kay by apple standards aren’t allowed to be engraved. Apparently Apple doesn’t like potty mouths and won’t allow swear words to be engraved. Its not that the machine jams up and locks when it is in the proccess of engraving the letters “F-U-C-K”, its just that apple won’t allow paying customers to enjoy their freedom of speech/engravement.

On a side not, engravements aren’t really neccessary.

itunes 8.0.1 is Razor Blade Sharp

After researching what the hell the itunes installer meant by “error code 2738″ and fixing it i was finally able to upgrade to the newest version of itunes. I was surprised to find out Its not just a regular security update, its filled with a lot of meaningfull stuff that is quite handy.

One of the biggest things in 8.0.1 is the Genius Playlist. I can’t quite put my finger on how it works but i creates playlists based upon a song your are currently listening to, and it works better that you’d expect.  I was listening to some “rap” and the genius playlist managed to call up some pretty great tunes that did have revelance to the original song.  However it doesn’t work for all of you songs in your collection.  I have some unrealeased songs from an Indy band, which made the Genius function seemed to spazz out, I guess it only works on purchased songs or songs found exclusively in the itunes store.  The genius playlist also calls up alot of songs that you might have neglected due to the large size of your library – awesome. I only found I had to make some corrections to the playlist it created because one-I hate Kanye, and two- some songs didn’t belong. Over all the Genius feature seems too elaborate to work, but it surprises you when you see that it works just as it should.

Another great feature that isn’t elaborate but more eclectic is the new way your music library is displayed. Its a mix of coverflow and song lists, it looks awesome. Overall this new itunes version is great and gives your music collection, that once seemed to be growing stale, some replay value!

Fox 11 Projects Obama!

It was such an immense win. I was expecting to have a result untill late at night. Maybe even midnight. However Obama won by such a large margin the decision was obvious. I watched for close to 4 hours of coverage. Continualy fliping channels looking for the right newscast to watch. I kept going back to FOX11 because they seemed to do it best. Many news stations say they called first, but Fox was on the ball all night. They projected every state correct. They were also the first to project Obama causing an avalanche of news stations to follow. The list is long, and change is here. Most importantly Obama is here. Amercia has a lot of work to do, but with Obama and Biden at its side America will come out swinging.

Election 08!

Its on. Its been on for quite a few hours as people have been voting since early this morning. It feels like a whole lot more people are actually voting this year. Thats great. I guess MTV finally got through to the youth, thanks P. Diddiy :] Im wanting to wait till as late at night as i can to see who really wins, cus apparently elections are a way for the news to have a field day. The news is nonstop, and will probably continue that way bringing meaningless updates untill it gets down to the wire.  This late in the game you can’t count on the early polls, this is the real deal, due or die, now or never, ITS ON! Im really excited to see who wins.

Super Tuesday!

I awoke this morning to the news that featured Barrack Obama yelling at a campaign rally:

 

“One more week!”

 Maybe its because they only happen every 4 years but elections never seem very memorable to me.  I for one have decided to closely watch my television set the minute I get home tuesday after noon. If the early polls are correct, this one should be a memorable one.

How America is held up: with Tape

Premium Product

Another reason to love apple: 

 

                                

At first i was indifferent about the two tone colors but i grew to love them. The glass screen looks super clean! All in all Its pretty sleek, but then again thats probably not the first time you hear that from an Apple product. Needless to say… i want one!

Hardware Update

Meet the Nintendo DSi. It now has 2 cameras and an SD card slot. The picture Nintendo released looks weird. It looks like a mock-up or some kind of fan made rendering. But why would Nintedno release new hardware (for the third time) yet again. My guess is it was time Nintendo added memory to their handhelds, and they feared falling behind to Sony since the PSP had memory since its release. A lot of talk of Sony’s new handheld which would likely launch by 2010, points to hardrive ready hardware. Messin’ with memory cards is so 5-years ago. Partly thanks to ipods,  its all about on hard drives, and GIG’s  now. For whatever reason, Nintendo thought it was neccessary to infom their US fans about new hardware, thats now out in Japan, only to find out it will ship months from now. On the other hand, how long could they have kept the secret that there is a new DS and It had already been released on the other side of the world. Its a big world but its not that big.

Burnin’

This years summer wasn’t as brutal as past years. Sure it was hot, but not as uncomfortable as it has gotten these couple days. California weather is relentless. Just when you think you have it figured out, it turns the table on you. These last 2 days it has been, hot, incredibly dry and stale. The kind of heat that radiates all around no matter where you go (shade-no exception). The worst part of all of this is the calendar is saying its already fall, but the Summer still has to give it all its got the last couple days before it peters out. To top it all off Yahoo weather keeps pulling fast ones on my ass! Since Yahoo is the only source i get my weather from (lazzzy) i base my wardrobe on their forecast, only it changes on a dime. For everyones sake, Fall better arrive soon, plus  Fall means Winter is just around the corner!

Math is DUMB!

I never thought the class that would make me hate math would be math analysis , but it did. In fact me and math have never been real tight, our relationship has always been considered frosty at best. Math analysis kicks it up a knotch and also manages to kick you in the face in the proccess. So…yeah thats it for now, have to go back to doing my math hw. And remebmber always keep on hating math, cus it hates you!
