Heard some girl at the music hall playing the 2nd part of Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suite No.1 on the Marimba. It sounded really interesting. I think I'll buy one. They're only 7000$... |

I am now aware that I have the ability to take off my pants while I am sleeping. Unless someone has been doing it for me. Highly unlikely. must be the gnomes |

| Horowitz played it too fast, Here's Horszowski |
[Dec. 3rd, 2009|03:30 pm] |
This piece is so damn good. I've been practicing it for a really long time and I honestly think very few classical pieces can be played so slowly yet have such a strong hold over the listeners. The end of it gets nuts.
I think this cute old man does a very, very good interpretation of it. not too fast, not too slow. He plays two songs in this clip so just watch the first 5 minutes of it.
Take that, electronic music movement |

There is only one thing I really want right now, and it's a poster of Penelope Cruz's character from Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
I WANT THIS. She is wayyyy hot. If i get it, she will the first "pinup girl" poster i've ever owned.
I can't find it anywhere online. The only one i found was a 8 x 10" on eBay. It sucks.

Also in toastmasters today (public speaking class), some girl was talking about the Kerr Hall protests and instead of saying "Protest" it came out "Protoss" and then INSTANTLY this other guy and I looked at each other and our eyes lit up and I KNOW in both of our heads we said "MY LIFE FOR AIUR" and mentally jabbed with psi blades. God that ruled
This piano piece is so damn good. |

I want either a bicycle thieves or 400 blows stills poster. Both were excellent movies worthy of buying a poster to remember an important scene. I can only pick one though, i can't have too many late 40s-early 50s elementary school boys papering my wall |

I hella called out this girl last night at a party for being a redditor. She got so mad at me and wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the night ahahaha
she also said, "the people who say they like 'everything but country' have the worst taste in music"
agree or disagree? if it helps i reluctantly agreed because I could definitely see her point (it is a pretty broad statement, after all), but i still argued with her for a good 5 minutes.
It's not cool to like anything. Lost Generation, bitch |

| More bus adventures |
[Nov. 20th, 2009|06:17 pm] |
Taking the bus home, i'm hungry and also wet cuz it rained all day - so a little cranky. There are some stupid girls dressed in VS Pink and listening to their iPods and probably on their way to see Twilight 2 sitting a few seats behind me.
Girl 1: HEY let's sing JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
Girl 2: FUTURE.SEX. LOVESONGS.
they also sang "Hollaback Girl" and "The Middle" in the kind of voices that girls sing in when they try to imitate pop singers. yea, that really bad voice. times four
girl 1: "This coffee doesn't work."
girl 2: "YOUR MOM doesn't work!!!"
Also, they were fat |

I love it when actors take parts in films that most people won't see. For instance, I just saw Copenhagen today.
Who's going to watch a television movie about Heisenberg and Bohr? Not many people.
So when A-list actors do stuff to just do stuff (I'm not really sure of their motives, but box office gross can't be one of them), it's pretty cool. It could be commercials, public service announcements, experimental films, broadway shows ( i.e. Sienna Miller), or minimalist plays ( Ian Mckellen in Macbeth comes to mind), regardless of which, they're all quite pleasing to see.
I also watched Zombieland yesterday. Woody Harrelson plays a great character, and the movie is pretty tongue-in-cheek about their little typography stints. I didn't think Emma Stone was that cutein Superbad but in this movie, she is amazingly, amazingly hot. After thinking about it for the past two days, I'd date her character over anyone. I can't think of a more attractive girl. GOODNESS |

I just finished watching Castle in the Sky. the whole entire time besides when the cool robots were onscreen i was thinking...WHY ISN'T PAZU MAKING OUT WITH SHEETA? holy crap he had like 10 chances to sweep her off her feet. I had to remind myself that theyre only, 12 or some shit like that. It ain't no Blue Lagoon, that's for sure.
Cool movie. hard to believe it was made in 1986 |

So I was on the bus and there were a lot of really annoying people on it - they kept singing stupid songs loudly in what they thought were really good voices, and they were making those lame jokes that stupid insecure people like.
Anyway, they bothered me so much i turned to the girl next to me on the bus and I said, "I'm going to kill everyone on this bus."
and she was like, "W...What?" stammering nervously.
then i realized my comment could be misconstrued as a sociopathic kind of thing, so i said, "good thing i get off at the next stop!" and I grinned. she laughed and smiled nervously
I take great pleasure knowing that i scared the hell out of someone |

"The opening image of 'Stray Dog' is an extradiegetic image of reflexivity, which marks a moment of the film's self-reference, thus foregrounding its discursiveness. Profoundly concerned with the terms of its own constitution as a discourse, 'Stray Dog' is full of rhetorical complexity and undecidability and therefore demands us to examine it closely as a text, that is, 'as a generative, open-ended, non-referential grammatical system and as a figural system closed off by a transcendental signification that subverts the grammatical code to which the text owes its existence.'" -Mitsuhiro Yoshimoto, in Film Studies and Japanese Cinema |

| Punch Drunk Love |
[Oct. 26th, 2009|11:22 pm] |
If anyone has NOT seen the movie Punch Drunk Love, I highly recommend it. Adam Sandler actually ACTS (although I thought he was channeling a little too much Waterboy), the sound, shadows, and colors are amazing, and Luis Guzman and PHILIP SEYMORE FUCKING HOFFMAN are in it.
A lot of people don't like it, but they're wrong.
Watch this clip. It won't ruin the movie.

I just watched a documentary about Pixar. Now I want to work there really, really, badly. I could work there and tie Brad Bird's shoes together and watch him fall over.
edit: Ed Catmull came and spoke at music hall today. Now I want to work at Pixar even more badly. |
