Screw McDonald's

I rented 7 movies for this weekend and here they are...

1. Reign Over Me

tt

Alan Johnson has everything he needs to get through life: a good job, a beautiful and loving wife, and their wonderful children. Yet he feels isolated because he finds having a hard-working job and managing a family too much to handle and has no one to talk to about it. Charlie Fineman, on the other hand, doesn't have a job or a family. He used to have both until a terrible loss, and the grief caused him to quit his job and isolate himself from everyone around him. As it turns out, Alan and Charlie were roommates in college, and a chance encounter one night rekindles the friendship they shared. But when Charlie's problems become too much to deal with, Alan is determined to help Charlie come out of his emotional abyss.

2. Memento

tiny

Memento chronicles two separate stories of Leonard (Guy Pearce), a ex-insurance investigator who can no longer build new memories, as he attempts to find the murderer of his wife, which is the last thing he remembers. One story line movies forward in time while the other tells the story backwards revealing more each time.

3. Trainspotting

ts

A wild, freeform, Rabelaisian trip through the darkest recesses of Edinburgh low-life, focusing on Mark Renton and his attempt to give up his heroin habit, and how the latter affects his relationship with family and friends: Sean Connery wannabe Sick Boy, dimbulb Spud, psycho Begbie, 14-year-old girlfriend Diane, and clean-cut athlete Tommy, who's never touched drugs but can't help being curious about them...

4. High Fidelity

ss

Based on the cult novel of the same name by Nick Hornby, High Fidelity follows the 'mid-life' crisis of Rob (Cusack), a thirty-something record-store owner who must face the undeniable facts - he's growing up. In a hilarious homage to the music scene, Rob and the wacky, offbeat clerks that inhabit his store expound on the intricacies of life and song all the while trying to succeed in their adult relationships. Are they listening to pop music because they are miserable? Or are they miserable because they listen to pop music? This romantic comedy provides a touching and whimsical glimpse into the male view of the affairs of the heart.

5. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

sz

Steve Zissou, sea-film auteur a la Jacques Cousteau, has reason to be melancholy: his partner has been eaten, perhaps by a mythic jaguar shark, his wife may be taking up with her ex-husband, a young man appears claiming Steve is his father (Steve hates fathers), his most recent films have tanked, he's having trouble raising money for his venture to revenge his partner, and he's attracted to a pregnant reporter who prefers the pretender. At sea, in pursuit of the shark, will he escape pirates and mutiny, forge the bonds of fatherhood, place his arm around his wife, find the monster of the deep, re-establish box office hegemony, and discover a reason to smile?

6. The Royal Tenenbaums

tb

Three grown prodigies, all with a unique genius of some kind, and their mother are staying at the family household. Their father, Royal had left them long ago, and comes back to make things right with his family.

7. The Invisible

sa

Two young teens' real selves are invisible to others, one due to his untimely death and the other due to the neglect she's endured since the death of her mother.

All of these should keep me busy for a while.

Dead Pony

Dead Pony was named Dead Pony because he was a Dead Pony named Dead Pony who was a Dead Pony. Dead Pony walked down to the river to pr- get a drink of water, but he couldn't because he was a dead pony. When Dead Pony realized this, he became deeply depressed, and killing himself, but he couldn't because he was a dead pony, but he did become Undead Pony, who preferred to be called the Steve, hahaha the.... but he couldn't because he was a undead pony.

14 Hymns for The Heathen

Night has draped its cape of stars
Over our small town
From the campus and the tavern
To the chapel and infirmary
We've seen their dreams
We've found the goods
The fables and folly
Of the residents residing in...

14 hymns for the heathen
First hymn, the son of God complex
Second hymn, the prodigal damsel
Third hymn, the tree stump of knowledge
Choking on Adam's apple

This odd lot under the cross
This broken promised land
Of dreamers and schemers
And preachers and predators.
They shall not want
What they've got coming to them
Whether innocent or insolent

14 hymns for the heathen
Fourth hymn, the passion of the chaplain
Fifth hymn, the brute kiss of Judas
Sixth hymn, Sodom falls to ashes
Seventh hymn, the church of doubting Thomas
Eighth hymn, a horse of the apocalypse
Ninth hymn, an immaculate exception
Tenth hymn, the demons of Mary Magdalene

I am a chapel, this is prayer book, these are the parables
God, forgive us, this is our business:
absolving sins of all of these heathens

Eleventh hymn, the Bible Belt tightens
Twelfth hymn, a leacherous Shepard
Thirteenth hymn, hiding in confession
Fourteenth hymn, an afterword

Rocking chairs of disenchantment
Green grass of envy and malice
Our salad days, living in Happy Hollow

It's official

My next computer will be a Mac. So many cool things to download on the Apple Website, that I can't use, it makes me hurt on the inside. I'll probably start to save for one when I get a job next summer. It will be a great day when I get a mac.

Now, talking of today's matters, I didn't go to school, and I have to go to the doctor in an hour. My mom said the doc might give me a penicillin shot.. I haven't had a shot in 11 years. I will throw a fit like I did whenever I had to get one when I was a kid... or not. Ugh... I just don't want to get a shot, just give me the meds, and I'll suffer through it.

Ok u gauyz.

I was thinking about this, I have the flu, I believe I do. My body is warm, extremely warm. Thinking of it now, I'm a self-loathing, stuck up, son of a **** and I'm damn proud of it.

In other news...

Smoking 1500 dollars worth of heroin and crack isn't worth it, look up, RISE UP! Live life, because when it's done, it's done.
