Low End Mac does a run down on how Apple created notebook fever. People wanted one of these from the get go. In fact, my first Apple was a PowerBook 140. I currently own a TiBook and have been trying to resurrect my PowerBook 190. For as much as I have loved Apple, I have only owned their laptops. No desktops. Yet.
I saw that Pixar just released Knick Knack on the Apple Music Store. I bought it for $1.99. I don’t know why.
I had orignally seen it at one of those animation festival films back in college. I still remember how sweet it was to see.
Computer animation has come along way.
I don’t think I’ll be planning on buying anymore videos for a while.
The house in Spain owned by my parents and their friends. This is where we plan to have a vacation next summer. Planning. The question is will that come to fruition?
If you need a place to stay or plan a vacation contact the owners about this place. They’ll give you a good deal.
| The Movie Of Your Life Is A Black Comedy |
 In your life, things are so twisted that you just have to laugh. You may end up insane, but you’ll have fun on the way to the asylum. Your best movie matches: Being John Malkovich, The Royal Tenenbaums, American Psycho |
If my life were this type of movie it would suck. And it’s not that great right now. I could not stand Being John Malkovich. Never could sit through The Royal Tenenbaums. American Psycho scared me. If it’s supposed to be funny, I am not laughing.
I wish I turned out to be some kind of romantic comedy.
Looks as if its boffo boxoffice numbers for a certain four eyed wizard with scar on his forhead. Yes, it’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire making bank this weekend. And of course I had watched it. And it was disappointing. The reviews lead us to believe that it was dark and a good rendition. I didn’t think it was. A death doesn’t make it dark. And it is not as good as the previous Potter movie.
I was somewhat bored. At least, I knew the story and where it’s going which kept me up.

And seeing the movie, I had to read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. And it was good. Very good. I am waiting for the last one. And I can’t wait. Rowling has basically abandonned the school story line. Harry going to Hogwart’s only as a prop to do his stuff. It has become more interesting and a little bit more mature. No longer concerned with daily school chores, Rowling has focused on telling the story. And what a story! The plotting in the last 3 books (from goblet of fire, order of the phoenix and half-blood prince) is very tight. She has weaved a very interesting story and the twists and turns are very hard to see. Yes, you all know that AD bites it, but that Horcrux twist was amazing. The only thing is that she kind of gets you confused when she has to describe a battle.
A+
I just added Capitol Swell to my blogroll of friends on the right. Check it out if you want to get some insight into the daily grind of politics.
Zarutha was just like Jumanji except not as good. I believe it lacked the David Allen Grier laugh machine, the hot Bebe Neuwirth, and the eccentricities of Robin Williams. (I don’t believe I just said I miss Robin Williams in a movie!) What we end up with is Dax Shepard.
I always thought that Zach Braff was Dax Shepard. Or is it the other way around? Throughout the movie I thought it was Braff. I even waited until the credits to see if it was. It was not. Yet, I thought he went by a pseudonym to avoid being stuck in a stiff holiday film. Just look, Zach or Dax. They roll off the tongue the same way. Either way with that dude in it, Zathura was a snore.
It would’ve been better as a 4 player game same as Jumanji.

Prime. I thought the movie was written and directed by Ben Younger. who also did Boiler Room. I thought that he had starred in it also, because that would have gotten him close to fool around with Uma Thurman. It would have been his best chance.
Anyway, it was a nice movie. Not a full blown funny movie, but a charming film. It lost its way in the last third. In fact when a movie skips ahead a year, you know that the writer couldn’t figure out how to finish it off relying instead on a cliched plot device. The bittersweet ending was predictable, but still touching. I like it when the guy doesn’t get the girl. Put this in your NetFlix queue if you have the chance.
