Diggin' the Waffles
I really love this site called DIGG you ought to check it out it has great news stories everyday, when you join you can Digg stories that you like the most dugg stories move to the top so you can see the most popular stories of the day. It's really neat. There is also a podcast called Diggnation with hosts Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht where each week they talk about the most popular dugg stories of the week. Check both out. You can also easily stream their show by just hitting play on ODEO.
I'm not gonna mention the podcast again till we actually have one in the can for you to hear. I'm sick of talking about it until we do something. I watched the FX tv show by Stephen Bochco called OVER THERE and I thought it was ok but I hope it getsbetter, you can't judge a show by it's pilot and I will give it a chance. Obviously they can't have Private Ryan style but it can still be effective with great characterization which the pilot did not have. Like I said I'll give it a chance.
Today i'm gonna wait for Stephen to text me and see how we're gonna go about doing the show. Grandma is going to pick up the girl so we will have hopefully at least 3 to 4 hours to record the show then edit it down to 30 to 45 minutes unless it's pure gold and save the whole thing. Hehe not likely. Crap I just realized I wasn't going to talk about the show anymore till it was done. Oops.
Another BSG tonight and so far after two episodes it has rocked the house down! I can't wait for more. I saw the trailer to the new Disney flick called SKY HIGH at Batman Begins and I thought it looked like a cool concept but too bad it was for kids. BUT I have read many great reviews for it on AICN and Metacritic and Rotten tomatoes so I figure I will check it out being that I love the concept and the actors involved. C'mon It's got Bruce Campbell in it.
Time for waffles.

Welcome to Mulberry
Holy crap it's one of those days where it's hard to find inspiration, where it's hard to make the effort to read or to stay interested enough in something to keep ones eyes open. It's one of those days that I would like to sleep till noon only it's past noon now. My lunch tasted crappy and I find no solace in chocolate cupcakes all I want to do is sleep zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Awake it's time to concentrate on doing something. I want to do something creative, I consider going to my sisters and scanning a bunch of my old drawings into the computer, But I'm lazy.
I could take notes on the podcast show only I am confused on how to do it in the first place, Hehe. I want to do it before I lose interest and end up doing nothing to find the creative sparks.
I could watch some TV but nothing's on. I'll go back to looking around online for something fun to read. Maybe I'll take a nap. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Do you ever think back to those days when you were miserable with affection for the time that it was in your life because you could take the time to be miserable on your own accord without guilt and without the selflessness that adulthood hopefully brings for most of us? Sometimes I reflect back to drinking a 12 pack on friday night while playing video games till dawn, then getting ready for work hung-over. I was miserable at the time but you feel a fondness over the cluelessness of it all.
Holy crap that was a run-on paragraph. Hehe. Music is good to blare when there's nothing else to do. Two times they said when you skip you gotta be high on the life that was the one you left behind. Wow I think I just made that up.
Ok here's what I want with the show 'Nowhere in Mulberry' well I did want to call it 'Surreality Sideshow' but since it really has nothing to do with surreality and since there is already a podcast called 'sideshow' I decided something else would be better. Mulberry, even though it's a fictional town I think we'd all like to live there. Small town atmosphere but with a great Main street filled with great down home cooking along with a local Cinema. Many Mom and Pop businesses, the College Burnout that came home to open up a ComicBook shop next door to his Professional wife who own the local Coffee Shoppe. Ah sounds great doesn't it? Nothing but tolerance in this town we got em all shapes and sizes and colors and creeds and cultures. The Baptist minister high fives the Rabi as they cross paths on their way to their prospective places of worship while doling out a hardy 'hello' to the muslim guy who runs the local eatery "Bangles, Baubles and Chow".
In fact every year there is a Theological Olympic games in nearby Bubenstein Park, where all denominations compete for the 'Faith Cup' that comes filled with the towns greatest riches, SNOW CONES! There's plenty of fun for us Agnostics too! We have the annual Agnostic Arcade Battle of the network evangelists and Scientists! We got it all. And right there off of Main St. just east of the Courthouse is a small brick one story building with an antenna poking out the top. Inside the big glass window you see a couple of people with headphones on broacasting their weekly show. They have a perfect view of town square and many denizens tip their hats and wave as they stroll by. Man it's heaven here. We are Nowhere in Mulberry.

In-depth hard hitting fact finding mission
And litlme wants answers!
1. What one thing would you do over in your life?
I would never ever have started smoking at the age of 20. I've been a non-smoker for awhile now but it wasn't easy and to think of the amount of money that I spent on it for over 10 years makes me want to scream. The effects on my health too. Don't smoke seriously it's a waste of time. Pluse it makes you stink I didn't realize how bad till I quit and smelled other smokers come in from outside.
2. If you could be a woman for one day, what would you do?
Go see the Sisterhood of the traveling pants with all my girlfriends then go get drunk on appletini's and get hit on by loser guys shooting pool.
3. What is one major dream that you have for yourself that no one knows about?
Geez that no one knows about? Hmmn I blab about everything I want to do so this is a toughy. Sometimes I fantasize about knowing alot about politics and religion and putting people in their place. I am not interested enough in those subjects hehe.
4. What makes you cry?
In movies when the dying character flashes back over the course of their entire life. The song 'Cheer up Charlie' in Willy Wonka. In this movie with Ellen Burstyn called Resurrection she wakes from a coma with the power to heal and at the very end of the movie after all sorts of problems she lives in seclusion in the desert when an rv with a family taking their Terminally ill son stop by her shop and she give him a hug goodbye at the end and you know she's healing him. Wow that movie messes me up. It still does. I balled when I saw my daughter's birth I couldn't contain myself I was a blathering idiot.
5. What are your views on the economic situation in Haiti....just kidding...If you could change one thing in this country what would it be and why?
A coconut sized meteorite would fall from the heavens landing right square on Karlk Rove's cranium and he would be no more. I believe it would have very positive results on our country OR the christian right could find a hobby like feeding the homeless or something useful.
Well I did my best. I think...
THE RULZ:Please post your answers on your blog.
If other bloggers want to be interviewed, you must interview them if they ask you by:
1. Leaving you a comment saying 'interview me please'
2. You will respond by asking you five questions here on their blog (not the same questions you see here)
3. They will update their blog/site with the answers to the questions
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions
Back to the drawing board
Well the first podcast was a disaster seeing how I couldn't figure how to record anyone else's voice but mine. See the thing is that we are each in our own homes using Skype to communicate and Skype is great I just can't figure out how to record each of us off of skype and into the mixer. Anyone have any ideas?
Also I think that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was ok. There's my review.
It'll be better to work out the kinks of the podcast during the week. Another great episode of Battlestar Galactica. Seriously are you not watching this show? Watch it! It's not simply just Sci-fi it's Drama! Hehe I got nuthin'.
Ok here I go plunging back into Podcasting research. I mean seriously the fact that I don't understand what I'm reading is the most annoying thing. KeeeRist! I'll figure it out, and I'll let you know as soon as I do. I have had a ball listening to all sorts of different podcasts there are waaay too many but there are some good ones in there. Be back later.

OCD TGIF
Well I got all of that out of my system. I was still upset over it and I have to say that writing it out really helped me vent.
Well it's friday and that means BSG tonight! I really like this show and it's nice that this time I have my wife watching it with me. She admitted to me last night that she thinks that Apollo (Jamie Bamber) is hot. Hehe hey whatever it takes for me to watch the show with someone else. I'll tell you right now how much I love watching films or tv shows with my wife. She gets into it, she really does, she hides her eyes, she looks away, she gasps she smiles, she says 'Oh No!' she says 'you can't be serious?' she gets mad sometimes and proclaims she'll never watch something again. Most of all she pays attention and she's passionate about what she's viewing. This is a woman that threw M&M's in a movie theater in the general direction of a heckler during the trailer for 'The Insider' starring Russell Crowe cause she was really digging it. I couldn't think of anyone better to view our favorite movies and shows with. I love you wife!
Today is the day we're gonna try to podcast our first show with the show title of 'Nowhere in Mulberry' why that title? Well I think this explanation might be like Mitichlorians whereas it's not that interesting. I'll just tell you this. Everything that I write be it Scripts or short stories every single one of them take place in a fictional town called, Mulberry. It's my dream town. It's all copywrited by me The Jastrom. (c) hehe. It's all MINE! MINE I TELL YOU! Bwahahahaha!
Lately well not quite lately I've been pretty sure that I am obsessive compulsive so please send me some pills cause I need help. DUST I HATE DUST!

Seething
The other day I waited at my inlaws for my wife to come home with her mom, they'd been visiting her cousin who had just recently had a brand new baby girl. Congrats Jennifer! She brought baby Madeline into the world. Emma and I played and ran around the house waiting for her to show up. Usually Emma squeals with excitement as her Mommy walks in the door.
The night before I'd joked with My wife to not return with the 'Baby Fever' as I am not ready for another child hehe. The doorbell rang and I opened it ready to greet my honey.
But, it was her brother and his wife instead. I tried to hide my sheer disappointment but don't think I did. They had their 6 month old baby in tow. Their daughter is a little cutey with her tennis ball fuzz of a head of hair.
Moments later my wife walked in excited to tell us how cute the new baby is. She exclaimed to her father that "...The first red headed baby in the family." across the room the brother's wife said in a smart ass baby talk voice to her own child. "well I guess you don't count do you." Right away I'll tell you this much, that kid is practically bald and I would say it's more of a very light blonde hair and not in any way shape or form RED HAIR. My wife didn't mean anything as a slight to her or her child by telling her father about a red-headed baby, she certainly loves the 'Brothers wife's child' very much. The 'Brother's Wife' also has another child from before she met 'the brother'. That child has very red hair. She also added, "Well they may have written off your big sister but we haven't have we?" she said to her baby again in a rakish baby talk.
Again, I believe my wife meant a grandchild that has been born of the 3 woman who are the grandchildren of the family. IN HER FAMILY. She has two female cousins and we have a daughter and her cousin jennifer has a daughter. She was not talking about this person's child at all.
Do you like the passive way of not actually talking to anyone but her child? The manner in which she takes something my wife said about someone elses baby and made it seem like an insult when my wife wasn't even fucking talking to her. Her baby hardly has any hair I sure as hell can't tell it's got any red in it for fucks sake.
I metioned that "She has red hair?" referring to their baby. The Brother says quietly 'We're just kidding', apologizing maybe for his wife's behaviour? Who the fuck knows. All I know is that I didn't say something like. "Do you have some kind of problem?" "Are you hinting at something?" "Gimme a fucking break, she didn't mean anything towards your child nor was she even talking to you! you self absorbed child who feels that she's always being wronged! ooooh your such a victim!" But I didn't say any of those things. I merely kept my mouth shut and am still seething at the pettiness even now.
Perhaps my blog will help me vent some of this frustration. There have been many incidents where I feel like I am going to explode. I can't take much more of this pettiness, it doesn't stop with just the wife but with the brother too. Fucking Pettiness and neediness not to mention a total abundance of self absorbtion runs like a freight train through that fucking house when they are there and I'd rather be somewhere else!
I just keep my mouth shut. What would become of me speaking up and possibly starting an argument? I will tell you this much, It is tearing me apart having to deal with these unpleasant people and if it were not for it being family I would most certainly never speak to them again.

Get Ready!
I'm getting ready to try something new. Something feasible. Something freeing maybe that's creative and most of all EASY. hehe well It seems easy but maybe it isn't all that easy. I my friends and going to try my hand at podcasting. You can read about what podcasting is here. I don't wanna try to explain it and get it wrong. Basically an online radio show. It may be horrible or it may be entertaining, We'll see. I'm recruiting several of my closest friends to help out and maybe we can make something that's not just fun for us but for listeners. Gulp, someone will listen? Who knows but it's a creative outlet to entertain ourselves so it's WIN-WIN baby!
I fill you in when we get it up and running and I will get a link to a separate Blog page for it.
Well Battlestar Galactica's premiere rocked my world and it can only get better. Man I love that show. Ronald D. Moore is my hero! You rock!
I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and will get a review up just as soon as I feel like writing one.
I'm hoping I can get this podcast thing up fairly quickly as I was very inspired recently by the plethora of them you can find on Odeo and Podcast alley. Some are good some are bad some are just boring. I hope that we can at least be entertaining. I want a good entertaining 30-45 minutes of laughs. So we'll see.
Time to get the girls breakfast going check back later.

Lazy Lazy Lazy
I've been playing this Paper Wad throwing Game most of the day. It's pretty damn addictive. The most i've hit is 12 in a row. Hehe Time to get off my ass.
Be sure to watch the season premiere of Battlestar Galactica tomorrow night on sci-fi! It's the best show you aren't watching.
Wednesday, July 13, 2005
Congrats!
Wow my Wife tells me she was named Employee of the month for the entire company. Wow Congratulations you deserve it! She's gotten employee of the month of her department before but this time the whole company. Wow you rock! I love you!
I've been watching the first two episodes of the reality show Big Brother 6. Hehe I don't like reality shows but thought i'd give this a chance. So far it's a bunch of pretty people living in a house together talking shit about each other. Sometimes they all wear bathing suits and whisper. I'm trying to stick it out but I'm just not a reality show kinda guy.
The Inside on FOX is being cancelled after tonights episode. Too Bad it was just getting good. Damn you Fox! Sorry Tim next time you might wanna pitch a show to a different network. You know maybe one that hasn't cancelled the last 3 shows you've helped create.
At first when I saw the trailer to Charlie and the Chocalate Factory I was annoyed I used to really dig Tim Burton but lately his films have done nothing for me. I dug Big Fish but I didn't love it. I hated Planet of the Apes and I could care less about Mars Attacks but now that i've seen the longer trailer of Charlie I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. I mean Burton hasn't made a bad film with Johnny as the star so I will be ready to give this a chance. It's just I loved Willy Wonka as a kid and as an adult watching it many times with nostalgic reverance and wishing I was Charlie. I hear this is a lot closer to the book which I have never read so I guess can't complain about that. And hey Danny Elfman is doing the music so it's gotta be great.
My two favorite Tim Burton movies are PeeWee's Big Adventure and ED Wood. I love those movies with great affection to the Nth degree! this guy doesn't know when to end a sentence does he?
Psst, don't tell anyone but I haven't been working on my script. Shhh don't tell anyone. I know I said I'd start a new draft but I've been busy keeping up with the blog. Hehe, Excuses...
I need some new inspiration, I need to see something to inspire me I need to hear something I need a recharge.

Taken...
I love Adam Phillip's Animation and I really adore his Bitey of Brackenwood stuff. I just linked his website in my links and I must say his newest scary Flash made me jump. Lol it's really good, check it out. Taken.
For awhile I wanted to try Flash myself but I'm just not very Computer savvy. I could probably get it down in time with stuff like 'Flash for dummies' and stuff like that but I just can't concentrate on that stuff right now. Excuses excuses. Hehe. This guy's work is inspiring. I love it.

JC Water walkers
It was one of those weekends that just blows by you wonder where the hell all the time went. You wish you spent more time laying on the couch just chilling out watching reruns. Instead you cranked a CD up loud and cleaned the house and kept looking online in the intervals you overheated yourself. Before you knew it, It was 7:00pm and time for dinner. Where'd did the day go?
Back in school, like highschool hell even middle school I would have to say that sunday was my most hated day of the week. Why? Cause it meant school was the next day. Facing school the next day was worse than just being there. It preyed on me like a dripping faucet that won't stop, I let the ominous silouhette of school creep up behind me every sunday and it ruined the day for me.
To this day being 33 years old I still wake up every sunday in a grumpy mood. I feel like I have to jump up and instantly shower and get the day going, I need to eat breakfast, I need to have my shoes on with nowhere to go. I think sunday is saturday's bastard cousin. The sabbath sucketh.
The years now I have been married my wife often wonders who this ogre is that shows up every sunday morning. I tell her that he's merely a result of pre-trauma anxiety from another life. I don't think she cares for that answer, Hehe.
Having a daughter helps me be less grumpy as I watch sesame and Maisy with her and we eat breakfast together, But I still feel this need for everyone to get dressed and get the day going as soon as possible cause Monday looms in the background and it's coming up fast.
It's monday now and there's no school for me anymore except for the school of parenting. Ugh that sentence was groan inducing.
Hey at least I never had to go to sunday school on sundays or hell even go to church except for the times that friends invited me wanting to save my soul or wanting me to be born again. Sorry folks I was already born once never again! It sucked i was slapped on the ass and hung upside down and it was cold and my food tube was cut. I did get to breast feed but I think to do that again would be just a big tease anyway.
I once liked this girl at work when I was about 17 who's father was a 'non demominational pastor' and she invited me to church with her family. I was very smitten with her and so I went. I was pretty sure I exemplified the term fish out of water in her 'youth group' as she urged me to stand up and introduce myself. WTF? I did so knowing full well I was blushing a bright red color that would give my head the new name of Tomatoe. Her best friend later told me that she would best describe me that day as 'Fish out of water' See?
I later came to understand that the most important person in her life would never be me, that position was already taken by her lord and savior JC. She invited me to church cause she saw me as this guy who needed some God and she loved the shit out of the lord. What was I thinking? It was probably a year later in college when she started drinking and screwing around. I guess I showed up too early. Hehe just kidding I was so clueless about girls at that point I couldn't even figure out she had no interest in me in a romantic way. Just the fact that she invited me somewhere was a thrill for me. Even if it was to see her dad talk about God. Good grief. Poor me, hehe.
Looking back on it now I should have made a move on her friend that always filled me in on news of her best friend that I was in lust with. She took the time to talk to me. Stupid.

SPACED
I'd like to introduce to you something that is and always will be near and dear to my heart. That thing is SPACED. Now what is spaced? It's a british tv show that was created by the people who brought you Shaun of the Dead.
Spaced is about friends but not like that damn sitcom 'friends' but about people in everyday life scraping by on their paycheck to paycheck jobs co-existing in a house in separate apartments. Tim a wannabe comic book artist meets Daisy a wannabe writer in a coffeeshop and soon become friends. They realize that they both have something in common, they need a place to live. Searching through the papers they find the perfect place BUT they will only rent to 'Professional couples only'. These almost strangers decide to pretend to be a couple to rent out the house. After a hilarious interview with Marsha they find themselves moving in.
What's genius about this is that we get to know Tim and Daisy as they are getting to know each other and then we get to meet the other characters as they do. For instance we soon meet the downstairs tenant Brian who would most easily be described as the bohemian artist. Once Mark meets Tim and Daisy we realize there's more going on with Mark and Marsha then we'd want to know.
There's not just Mark we soon meet the rest of the cast by the 2nd episode, there's Mike, who is Tim's best friend since they were kids which you'll see throught many funny flashbacks. Mike is what you would call a survivalist. And then there's Daisy's best friend Twist a snobby wannabe fashion designer.
Once all the characters come together we get 2 seasons and 14 episodes of one of the funniest and endearing shows ever.
They loved movies and videogames and reference it all, they love food and hanging out and chatting just like we all do. Most of all they have bad luck in the romance department that makes you repeatedly ask the question, "Why can't Tim and Daisy see they are perfect for each other?" I would go into more about certain episodes but i'd rather you get to take a look yourself cause I think you'll love it.
The director of spaced Edgar Wright brings it all together with his kinetic and inventive camerawork that will bring back memories of Sam Raimi ala his Evil Dead days but Edgar's got a style all his own. I love this show and hope you will too.
The DVD set of series 1 & 2 are for the UK region and won't work in a regular NTSC dvd player. But it will play in your computer or you could purchase a region free dvd player which are very cheap.
One of those days...
...Where it's thundering and Lightning and the power flickers and goes off here and there. I have a flashlight for Emma and one for me. She likes waving it around shining it on walls. Everytime the power comes back on I have to reset the clocks and wait for the Directv and for the DSL to boot back up. At least we are getting some water for the grass outside that's been suffering during this hot summer. I'm glad I have good quality Surge Protectors too.
I've written this much without a power failure so, so far so good. I'm debating going to see Fantastic Four because i've heard it's pretty bad, I'd much rather see War of the Worlds or hell even Cinderella Man, I've read that's a keeper.
I will probably not go to the movies this weekend and opt instead to visit some family.
Man, I cannot wait for the premeire of the new season of BSG. It's coming on july 15th people be sure to check it out. There's this new reality show on Bravo that i'm gonna check out called Situation: Comedy or something like that. It sounds like Project Greenlight but on this show people have submitted their own scripts of ideas for new sitcoms. Shit the power just fluxed again. I'm pushing my luck. Don't go out, don't go out. If it does for any major length of time we're gonna go to Grandma's where hopefully power is intact. But no online, lame.

Happy Accidents
A happy accident is something you did not want to happen or even foresaw that it would happen but when it did happen you were happy. An example? Well I think Happy Accidents happen alot in artwork such as photography sometimes they can happen in affairs of the heart as well. Has anyone who met their beloved intended to when they did? I did not plan on meeting my wife the evening that I met her and I doubt she was expecting to hook up with yours truly. Hehe when I say hook up I mean meet and talk etc.
The more I think about it My whole life has been nothing but a happy accident. Ever think about things you would change in the past but it would irrevocably mess up a chance meeting with someone you know that is near and dear to your heart? I could never go back and time and change things because I would miss out on everone and everything that I love in the now.
I can't wait for more happy accidents to happen in art in life in love and in my daughters life too. Just to clairy when I stub my toe on the metal wheel under my bed, that's just an accident and not happy. The night I met my wife and commented on how does she keep her pants so white and she responded, 'I work in a dry cleaners' now that's a happy accident. The ice was broken and we talked till dawn.

Bat in my belfry
Just munchin' down on some breakfast and getting grease on all the keys of the keyboard. Eh' I'll clean that up later. The other night which was friday I went to see Batman Begins with my wife and Stephen who tagged along 3rd wheel style. Just kiddin' Stephen, We invited him folks.
We saw the movie in a brand new Cinemark theater that opened up roughly 4 miles from my home. It was great to go and see a movie somewhere brand new. Most theaters now suffer from a lack of quality control, bad sound, bad picture, out of focus, too many loud ass teenagers trying to impress their friends, TOO MANY CELLPHONES! I see at least 5 people at every movie I attend looking at their cellphone to what I assume is look at the time. A glow appears in the darkness totally pulling my attention away from the screen and towards that person. This only happend once the evening of Batman Begins. So that's good.
Batman was released about two weeks ago and I wanted to see it right when It came out but because of family stuff I had to refuse the caped crusade my patronage until now. It was better waiting and the wife and I both agreed that the next film that comes out that we want to see (Serenity) will wait a week. Now this won't work for films that don't do well at the box office which will immediatley be sent to the hell that is the dollar cinema.
Ok on to the movie. Batman Begins is not just about Batman but about how Bruce Wayne the little lost boy who's parents were gunned down before him turning him into a guilt ridden angry man looking for the answers of injustice to The Batman that we know and love. Christian Bale is great in the role. Bale is not just inhabiting a suit or 'workin' it' as Jack would say but he's a person first and the film leads us through his attempts to defend Gotham to save Gotham from itself. The Gotham city is not like the Burton film it's doesn't look like a giant model 'an essay in ugliness' as it was described at the time. This Gotham is a real city with real people, good people. And bad too of course...
One thing that hasnt been done right in comic book adaptations is the ability to make the origins of the heroes interesting from the Hulk to Spiderman to the Punisher they all bore the hell out of me till the guy starts to work the suit. Not in this film the journey of Bruce Wayne is what the movie is all about and it works it's very effective. All of the supporting roles work well to from Liam Neeson to Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman as Gordon and especially Michael Caine as Alfred. Movies are as good as their supporting cast and this one rocks the house down. Michael Caine was my favorite he wasn't just some butler but Bruce's guardian to which Bruce knows without a doubt loved his parents just as much as him. Katie Holmes was ok, she didn't wear a bra under alot of her business woman DA attire. And I'm sorry but everytime I saw her all i could think was her laying on a clay table.
I won't go into major plot points here cause most people have probably already seen it and most of all I hate when I read major plot points in reviews. When Bats shows up we get to see his trials and tribulations, we get to see him figure out what gadgets he needs each time he goes out, which I thought was really cool. Thankfully he never needed Bat Ice Skates like in Batman and Robin. Christ, Fuckin' Schumacher.
The Tumbler AKA the Batmoblie was a disappointment when I first got a glimpse of it in the trailer for the film BUT in the context of the film it's really cool! It makes sense in this modern day metropolis of crime that Batman would need an Urban Assault Vehicle. And that's basically what I love about this movie, Batman is in this real world and it works much to my delight.
I think Chris Nolan and Goyer (David s.) did a great job and they better be at the helm of the next one. The bad guys in this are great and we don't have any manic laughing or neon or nipples well scratch that Katie's not wearing any bras, but those nipples are in the right place, they are not on Batman. Fucking Shumacher! After those craptacular flicks we can thank our stars we ever got a Batman again. Thank the maker cause I can't wait to enjoy this film again on DVD. Man I am all over the place with this review so forgive me. Let me just finish off by saying this and this is all that matters, Bale is Batman!

state of Renovation
Well I found the best motivation to work on the blog, yep that's right it's my alternative to writing my project script hehe. From listening to my Audio recordings I've noticed a few things that are really annoying that I will work on, the first one is 'Well anyway...' ugh how repetitive.
Hey it's a new thing and I was excited to see how it works it will be neat the next time I am out of town or am stuck in traffic but hopefully without my daughter coughing in her sleep. Man that just makes me feel horrible listening to that. It makes me tense.
The second annoying thing is not getting to the point at least when I have one and will be sure to get to that without distraction hehe. Well Can't wait to post some more but I have some free time now and that means Script writing. Later...
