bareback mountain
2006-01-29 00:32:59
So our friend returns from a trip to Japan. She's been working really hard lately, and we invite her to a movie. Anything at all that she wants to see. She's been talking about Narnia, and that Geisha movie. We've already seen Narnia, but I can live with seeing it again I guess.
She doesn't want to see Narnia,
she doesn't want to see the Geisha,
Not even King Kong, or Munich.
She wants to see Brokeback Mountain.
----------------
I could have gone my whole entire life without seeing that, and been ok with it.
----------------
But... since I've felt the pain, I'm going to share it.
The good:
The sheep. Seriously, there was an amazing amount of sheep in the movie. They must have been herding a thousand sheep easily.
The mountains. Can't really go wrong with Wyoming mountains, or rivers, or horses in the moutains walking along the river, can you?
The aging. If you've seen the movie (my sympathies) then you know what I mean. They characters in the movie aged more naturally than in any other movie that I've ever seen, period.
The end. The movie was actually 'slightly' sad at the end, but it was also kind of good, since you know, the movie was ending.
The bad:
This movie is long as hell. It's hellishly long in some places, notably in the scene were we see 'the beast with two backs mountain'.
Dude kissing.
The mumbling. I guess cowboys (sheep men?) all mumble all the time.
The inbetween:
The story was ok, I mean lets face it; it's not all that frightening. We've all seen shows where guys kiss, or girls kiss (although thats hot). We move on and focus on the story. Well, here the story WAS about the guys kissing.
Basically, after the movie was aound half way the story switched from the guys lip wrestling to being about their lives, and how they wasted them.
They wasted them because they could never just face that they were gay and go live together, so instead they married and cheated on their wives (for years) and never managed to be successful.
The ending, was honestly a little sad in that unrequited love sort of way. Kind of like when Hitomi left Van hangin' at the end of escaflowne after all he'd done for her and they never saw each other again. Except, in this they saw each other plenty, and presumably got hot and nasty while doing it, but never admitted that they loved each other.
Ok, so maybe that wasn't the best example.
So... it might be a good movie, in a lot of ways, but I didn't really like it since they had all that gay sex in it. The thing was, that the movie could have just as easily implied MOST of that stuff (and it did at the end of the movie) and been better.
The end of the movie where the feelings of the characters were the central point was the best stuff. All the nuance and innuendo really worked well, like the scene with the parents.
If you're thinking of seeing the movie... take heart; the movie theater was full of date couples. This is obviously the "I'm secure in my NOT GAY-ness, so I can see a gay movie, movie."

last night: PeePeeEl lord of confusion. Today... death by insanity.

PeePeeEl... funny how simple things can make you laugh.

My day:
other people run their subjects in my class, since it's the best place in the school, quiet and I don't take crap. So I have to listen to teachers go on about their various subjects for about three hours of the day. It's not all that bad really, since I'm free to go around and do the schools computer maintainence during this time.
Teach my own students some more bryce. Todays lesson: create an animation using bryce that contains at least 5 camera movements and three atmosphere changes.
(ie: create a sunset, or sunrise and make it interesting by flying down a stream or something. )
reformat two messed up computers - instal the OS and relevant software.
install spyware programs on at least five comps, and reallocate the internet proxy for them.
transportation logistiics for the school need to be updated. I have to reassign everybodys van route. Means I also need to decide what track they are on on, and switch them, maybe.
Video club today... I should get the recent eps of naruto, bleach and Yakitate.
Todays weightlifting: Shoulders and neck. Goals - 185lb military press for 8 reps, shoulder shrugs with 350lbs. Dumbell kelso shrugs for the mid traps, and maybe a few hang cleans for the heck of it.
Mow the lawn, fix the greenhouse, and get that damm garden cart out of the middle ofthe garage so I can park in it again. feed the lizards and stuff today. mmm... baby mice.
Try to get through three ops tonight, find some humping footage for Ileia, maybe a few animated .gifs for the heck of it.
die. ... er... sleep. -

The video that made me strong
2006-01-19 01:36:41
Today I'm supposed to work my legs. I hate working my legs. If you lift weights, then you know that working your legs is the most gruesome day of your work out. If you do it correctly that is.
So anyway all day long I'm putting it off. At work I have a full weight set up behind my desk, squat rack, bench press and about 300 ish pounds of weights. (the school put it in my room because they figured that I wouldn't take anybodys crap, or let the students do stupid things with it. Right on both counts, plus I have a mini-gym right at my desk. If you dont' believe me, or are just curious PM me and I'll send you a picture of my work area.) At work, I can barely even get up the motivation for some stiff leg lifts (imagine doing a toe touch, now imagine doing the same thing with a weight in your hand. Or just try it.). I get home and turn into a total slob... turn on the computer grab a soda and some string cheese. Then since I'm bored I turn on the IRC channel.
Someone (I think it was niotex) posts a little game music video, and I'm getting motivated by the music. So I go out and do my squats.
360 lbs. for reps.
my legs are fried chicken right now.
Not bad for a random amv heh?
--------------------------------
In an unrelated thought.
Don't you hate when you look up the weather online. and then when you go to do something it's totally different? This morning I'm looking up the weather, and it's LA typical. Just under 70 degrees, with no chance of rain and partial clouds sometime during the week. Later I go outside, and there is this freezing wind and the clouds are so thick overhead that it looks like a tornado forming. Oh well, at least I have a better chance of convincing the school to buy some snowboards for the next field trip.

Disney princess
2006-01-09 00:26:03
We went to Disneyland on friday.
Lots of fun. I'll skip the usual details, and get to the end. After we left we are standing at the tram drop off area, eating corndogs and trying to figure out just how much money disney makes every day (each tram has seven cars, each car has six rows, and each row holds five people That's 12,600 for every tram, and they are running constantly. The answer: A lot). Anyway, as we are standing there I feel someone grab my butt.
Not earthshaking I know. As I turn my head to see who it is, I don't see anybody, but my butt gets grabbed again, so I look down. It's a little girl in a princess outfit. I guess my butt looks like her dads butt from that angle. They came and got her a couple moments later.
I guess my ass is royal grade. Gaze upon it with awe and respect peasant!

A couple of observations about amusement parks:
1) What the hell is with the hormone laden smooching that teenagers do in line? Seriously, I thought a couple of times this one chick in front of us was gonna go down on her knees and service the guy she was with right there.
2) Why do people bring kids that are in strollers to a roller coaster? It's not like they can take it on anything.
3) Coach Wendy is a bitch because a: she let her friend cut in line in front of us with six ugly kids, and b) her kids are all hairy. Seriously, like little fucking sasquatch beasts.
4) The new light parade sucks. It's like a big marketing campaign where they have floats that are straight out of movies like the Mermaid, and Alladin. I was expecting to see mickey pulling a card of DVDs for sale behind it.
5) The Skellington haunted house bites (mostly). I don't remember the narration going on so long. If you've ever been on it, do you remember it going all the way past that talking head chick in the crystal ball? It totally drowns out everything else.
6) Disney is definately more family oriented than magic mountain. At no time did I see a bunch of gang bangers staring at me (presumably for being white). Neither did I see a crapload of dumbass tagging all over the place. Plus, we spent the entire day with pretty much no cigarette smoke at all.
7) Everything, and I mean everything is expensive. Cordog? 3.50, water, 2.50. Cookies, some fudge and a stitch souvenier cup? 43.00. You'd think that they could lower the admission a bit from 60.00 each. But nooooooo. Guess you take the good with the bad. Disney has a certain polish to it, but it's not cheap.
8) Best I idea that I saw: a little kid with his parents cellphone number written in sharpie on the back of his shirt. He gets lost... disney calls the cell number. So simple it's awesome. It ranks right up there with the child leash.
9) what's with the fat fucks that have little motorized carts? Hey, I understand if you have a condition, or something. I got no problem with that, I'll help out, and give them whatever help I can. It's the people that are just overweight. What the hell? I mean, maybe spending a day walking instead of motoring around might do some good. Hell, get a damm season pass and do one ride a day if that's what you need, but get up off your fat hamhock ass.
** note ** I'm a big guy. I have a slightly round gut, but I lift weights regularly. I can deadlift 350+, bench 250-ish, and I do power cleans with about 150 relatively easily ( I haven't maxed in years).
