so bored...

you can only stare at a computer screen so much. you can only hit refresh so many times. the shitty part about freelance is that i don't leave the house to work. i can't fuck around with co-workers and take coffee breaks and go out for big group lunches.

sometimes you just have to unwind and take a break and leave the damn house. and so, since david asked me to a while back, i went to see rush hour 3.

rush hour 3
i like to joke that this is the most widely accepted series of films, blatantly portraying negative asian stereotypes. really i don't give a shit, but just once... can the asian guy get some ass? wtf? at least bruce lee got some ass. i digress...

so what do you want me to say about this movie? it's a laughable plot, with a million holes... but that's to be expected. it had decent action and fight scenes, but with jackie chan, that's expected as well. what was unexpected was the humor. instead of using the old formulas from the first two films, there were some original and genuinely funny moments, that actually made me laugh out loud. granted, chris tucker had some textbook loudmouth delivery moments that made him famous, but it wasn't as obnoxious as in the previous installments.

overall, i got what i wanted... some action, some laughs, and some entertainment. do you need to go out and see it right now? nope. but if you've been sitting in front of a computer and you just want some mindless movie to make you smile... this will do.

rush hour 3 : C
c'mon... what do you want? it's fucking rush hour 3.

giving thanks

last year, erin and i spent thanksgiving at cammie's place in the city. it was an intimate gathering of cam's close friends. i made some baked mac and cheese that i was very proud of... it was delicious. but betsy broke my casserole dish on purpose, because she had her own mac and cheese she wanted everyone to eat. just kidding, but i dish really did break, and it really was betsy's doing... accidentally, on purpose. heh. anyways, this is the first thanksgiving in 5 years, that i haven't spent with erin. very strange, and sad too. i've found myself reflecting on the friendships that i've made over the past couple of years... thinking about the people who come into and out of our lives so quickly. as you may be able to tell, i'm a nostalgic little fuck. i live every day like it's a big event. i try to treat those i've just met, like they're my best friend (unless they're a complete douche bag). i get sad at the end of the night when i have...

who sings that?

so i saw this jcpenny commercial today and i noticed two things... number one, jcpenny's marketing department or the ad agency that's helping them, has been doing a great job trying to improve their image. kudos to them. number two, they've been using some great background music in their commercials. i know that regina spektor sang one of the older ones, but in the one i saw, they used the song " all that i want ", by the weepies . and by the way, i don't know if you pronounce it weep-ies, like freebies or wee-pies, like levi's . anyways, i think that if you don't watch tv a lot, you pay more attention to the commercials, and in this particular case, the soundtrack was delicious.
