Because I'm boring...
9/09/2006
Justin and I went to see Little Miss Sunshine today. You've probably never heard of it, but it's really good. It's a Fox Searchlight film, so it's kind of on a limited release. It was actually released like a month ago but for some reason Rochester just got it now. The movie starts a little slow but pretty much as soon as they start their road trip to California it is absolutely hilarious. There are so many things I'd like to bring up and say how great that part was in the movie, but I won't spoil it for you. It's one of the better movies I have seen lately.
It's been getting pretty cool out here lately. Today was the first day I didn't even change into shorts after work, which is surprising because when we come back from work our apartment is almost always really hot. It's almost cold out right now (midnight-ish) but it will be really nice to have the cool air around when I'm trying to sleep. Much better than getting hot and having to take the covers off.
A while ago I ordered Star Wars Episodes IV-VI on DVD from Amazon. This may seem uneventful to you, but these are newly released DVDs. See, the ORIGINAL versions of these films, without the added CGI crap they added, cannot be purchased anymore. These new versions of the DVDs are really the versions with the CGI stuff but you have the option to watch the movie in its original form. Unfortunately, they are laser disc rips because somehow LucasArts "lost" the original film so they won't be super high quality. Even if the orignal versions suck really bad, at least I'll have copies of the good Star Wars movies, since I don't have any of them. Now they just need to remake Episode I completely and I'd be satisfied. Although to get back to the point of this paragraph... these DVDs have now shipped and will be here when the postal service feels like delivering it. Apparently it takes 2 weeks to get packages but only several days to get letters. I should have requested better shipping.
I was going to post something about Facebook's new mini-feed thing earlier this week but I think I had Internet problems when I tried to do it. They fixed the problem, as far as I'm concerned. You can now select what you want people to see in your feed. I kind of thought showing who you've added as friends and who's wall you wrote on was a little overboard, and I can now fix that myself. It really isn't as bad as people say it is anymore.
Go Packers!
