great day... even if i had to get up early to take a test

what i'm listening to ~ MmHmm by Relient K
what i'm reading ~ The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein

Work is going well and i am almost finished with my training. As soon as they're confident that i know what i'm doing and get the two more new PAs trained then S. will be moving to graphics and C. will be moving to sound an i will be senior PA! Daunting, and it was intimidating, but i think that i'm definitely starting to get the hang of this job.

It's been a really good week, but i'm tired from working every night. i have to go to Bowling now, so i don't have time to write what i wanted to. ): But a little update is better than nothing, right?

Why I recommend "Lost - The Complete Second Season"


The deal with this show, what makes it so great, is the character development. If you fall in love with the characters or a character then you’re going to love this show, otherwise there is no point. The mystery of what’s going on certainly plays a part, but it better to focus on everyone’s background and figure out how everyone is interconnected (even before they were on the Island). Easter eggs abound, like Hurley on the TV when Jin is beating someone up, Sawyer running into a car door when Christian Shephard (talking to Ana Lucia) are parked outside a bar, a Dharma logo on a shark’s tail… examples abound. i know i’m not as addicted to this show as some, but man i love these characters. i can’t help but love Lost.

new pics of Alice!

she's gotten so big that i can hardly believe it. and i get to visit her in a couple of weeks! check out the pics

keep it coming

While i would say that season two was not nearly as good as season one this show still shows a lot of promise and has great twist & turn shock factor. i now can’t wait to see season three. But certain things annoy me like Tom’s new love interest and how Isabelle just suddenly grew up (it would have been more believable if she had been growing up at a sped up rate than just suddenly maturing instantly). Worth viewing but i hope that season three is even better.

redundant

by Richard Loncraine

i have probably watched about ten movies in which Harrison Ford plays a husband/father in which his beautiful wife and kids are kidnapped/threatened/etc. and in which he alone can save the day. i’m not saying that it’s a bad storyline (because there are films out there that portray this type of story in multiple genres) but it’s just getting a bit old (as is Ford as well for this type of role). This film just didn’t bring enough to the table for me to say that it’s anything more than “okay.”

Why I recommend "Flightplan (Widescreen Edition)"

by Robert Schwentke

The way my aunt talked about this movie i expected it to be awful, but it was actually rather decent. It’s not the best film out there, but it was more good than bad. Interesting diversion with several twists that doesn’t ignore the world we live in post-9/11.
