fiinally copped a dvd burner for my home PC and it took me a few days, lots of frustration, rage, taking the cover of the computer on and off 10 times, plugging and unplugging everything 20 times, etc, but i finally got it working! movies dlizzoaded and burned so far: rocky balboa, blood diamond, borat, hannibal, music and lyrics, pursuit of happiness and the holiday...

watching rocky as we speak...dope scenes of philly...

things

saw two flicks recently: departed and stranger than fiction. both super banging.

departed won the coveted best flick of the year and many other awards. incredible cast, very tragic/shakespearan flick. definitely an awesome movie, highly recommended.

stranger than fiction, starring will farrel: to me, was equally dope, but in a totally different category. will farrel still cracks me up when trying to be serious. dustin hoffman plays another psychologist, very similar to his role in i heart huckabees, which i absolutely fucking love. jake gyllenhals sister is in stranger than fiction too, and is pretty cute in it...this flick is highly recommended as well.

finished another coupland book, my third in like 2 mos - jpod. jpod is based in vancouver, about a group of cubiclemates that work at a videogame company. they discuss pop culture, traffic illegal immigrants from hong kong, the mom grows high grade weed, they take a short trip to china, and discuss everyday mundane life. its a funny, fresh read.

im growing a beard until tim's wedding. i might roll to the old south philly italian barber for a fresh shave w/ a true blade again like i did before my wedding.

i made some matzah ball soup the other day. the secret is most definitely a TON of fresh dill.

statistics blows. i've been helping melenie a little bit with this class and i absolutely hate it. i somehow got out of it, i think by taking the harder route for computer science, which involved calc 1,2, & 3, but for some reason, stats seems harder right now...ughhh

i want a nintendo wii. REALLY BAD. check out this cooking game they have:
