new hobby

Ever since I first visited gutenberg.net, way back in 1997, I knew it was something good. Free literature online! Why go check out a book at the library when you can download it to your desktop and read it when you're procrastinating?

Well, since I've been reading a lot of Bradbury lately (I'm on The Martian Chronicles right now), it’s been making me think a lot about literature in general. I’ve thought a lot about how I have a B.A. in English, yet am not pursuing anything career-wise or hobby-wise with my interests. I don’t want to be a teacher or a writer, so that limits the career possibilities. I do read books as a hobby, but I don’t feel like I’m contributing much of anything, or just doing much of anything.

In the back of my mind, I’ve always thought about getting involved with this Gutenberg project. I remember when I once searched the site for Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther in hopes of remembering a quote, and when it wasn’t on the site, I thought, “Why don’t I volunteer!?� But I was in college, and there wasn’t much likelihood that I’d have the time to devote to it, even though it was only about 100 pages.

But now I’m free. I’ve not got much to do at lunch, so I’m starting out as a volunteer. They say you should start out as a proofreader at distributed proofreaders and get used to the style of the project, and then become a producer if still interested. Well, I’ve started out with the history of English royalty and the Prince of Whales yesterday at lunch and a short story involving a young lady sneaking out and stealing a horse to go rescue someone. If I like this, perhaps I could look into proofreading as a career. I don’t know. Eventually, though, I do hope to actually type up at least one book on my own to contribute to the project.

I know the idea of this doesn’t excite many other people, but I’m hoping this won’t be a fad and that I’ll actually get into it.

Napoleon Dynamite

We finally went to see Napoleon Dynamite after several weeks from stalling on my part. When I first saw the commercials, I thought, "Wow. A male version of Welcome to the Dollhouse. MEH." But the husband wanted to see it and I acquiesced. That's love.

The difference between this movie and Welcome to the Dollhouse was that WTTD had a main character you could actually identify with on a certain level and also feel sorry for. Napoleon, on the other hand, is just a jerk. I pretty much enjoyed the parts where bad things happened to him or his brother, and the dance scene. Otherwise, his character held no laughs for me.

Also, the shift between the 80s and present day frustrated me. It's a small thing, but half the people were dressed in present day clothing and half were in the 80s. His brother was online and buying things from the internet, but the prom was all 80s music. It just bugged me.

Another thing that irritated me was that none of the guys in this movie were worthy or likely to get the girls they ended up with. All of the girls are too pretty, too nice, and too intelligent for them.

On a side note, all through the movie I was trying to figure out who that girl was - Napoleon's girl. Finally, at the end, she gave this full-dimpled smile, and I remembmered: she's the little girl from Corrina Corrina, whose smile drove me nuts because she always smiled with her tongue showing (my mom was a huge fan of that movie).

Overall, it was mildly entertaining, but I just felt unattached, unbelieving, and unamused.

quick hi

Sorry I haven't posted this week. It's been busy at work and then I got sick from Ric. Sore throat/headache, really tired. Plus the back is bothering me again. I stayed home sick yesterday and slept almost the whole day. I'm going to leave work early today too. Hopefully I will be rested enough for the Curiosa festival tonight. :)

I did hear a little story about Kerry trying to quote scripture by reading John 3:16. He said the right text, but quoted it as John 16:3. The funny thing is that John 16:3 says, "These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me." The story came from Rush Limbaugh if anyone's wondering. I just thought it was amusing.

WOHOO!

We have a renter!

God is really blessing us. The housing value in the area has been going up steadily since we bought the house, and with the appreciation rate, our investment has pretty much paid itself back already. All we have to do is buy them a fridge and then sit and wait for the house value to go up even more.

Now that we have a renter, we can start saving up money again for a car and for (perhaps) another future investment. The plan is to save for some months more, and then I can buy my Mini (unless I chicken out and go for the stability of a Honda.. but I don't think I will).

Hurray for an answer to prayer!

So tired...

I am soooo tired. Worked an hour over yesterday, did Bible study, did grocery shopping. Work was insane. It was the first day of Registration at the university, and it was a day filled with brand new students who all needed a lot of coddling.

My supervisor was on vacation, which is usually a happy thing for me, but in this case, any kind of backup would have been nice. Not that I think she would have been much help anyway had she been here. The way our new office is set up reduces the number of staff in the main office from four to two. That’s me, and my supervisor. I think she has decided that her job is simply dealing with stuff on paper – not customer service. It’s always been my understanding that she’s my backup. But slowly, over the past two years, she has distanced herself more and more from having to help students. She transfers phone messages to me if she doesn’t feel like answering them. She puts people on hold for me when I’m really busy instead of trying to find the answer out herself and helping them. She has actually gotten me up from somewhere else to come help her assist students, and then once I come to help her, she leaves and says she’ll let me handle it all. Half the time she doesn’t hear when someone comes in, and doesn’t notice them standing there, waiting for help when I’m busy. She also doesn’t pay attention to the times I can’t get to my phone. She even configured her desk in the new location to face the wall instead of out towards the students because she wanted privacy. Privacy?? What the hell is that? I haven’t had an ounce of it since I started working here, and it’s starting to drive me mad.

Anyhoo. Sorry, I needed to rant about that. A couple of people tried to help me out here and there yesterday, but overall, I felt like one person did all the advising of new students and I did … everything else. Phone calls, signatures, visitors, people turning in applications for our student worker job, appointments, random people who wanted on-the-spot advising help, and more.

And even though I stayed late yesterday, I think they want me to stay late again today. Newsflash: I’m not SALARY, I’m HOURLY. Yesterday I didn’t have so much of a problem with it because the students who were registering were either new or readmits. But today, all the people who are going to come in needing help are continuing students. They all had a chance to pre-register in the Spring, and they can all add and drop classes online. So why would I need to stay here late, on the off chance that a slacker who didn’t bother to pre-register needs some advice so that they can register, and couldn’t make it in to the office before five? Everyone in the office has an excuse: workout class, school, etc. Well, I have workout too, but I’m not paying for it, so I guess I should be the one to stay late since I’m not losing any money by staying. Not to mention that our department usually does “comp time� methods of overtime rather than actual overtime, so I’m not really getting any extra compensation for staying late.

BOOOOOOOOOO.

IN OTHER NEWS, I THINK WE HAVE A RENTER!!!!!

King Arthur

We took a chance and dollared King Arthur on a Saturday night, after several months of avoiding the dollar theatre on weekend nights. It took the audience the first 10-15 minutes to get seated, but after that it was okay, with an occasional lack of whispering by some girl whose parents never taught her how to use a quiet voice.

The movie itself was better than I had expected without being a masterpiece in movie history. I enjoyed the personalities of the various knights, some of the battle scenes (the final face-off was disappointing), and, with a few exceptions, the dialogue.

I thought it was pretty funny that for the trailer in the theatres, they showed Kiera Knightley responding to a comment about there being a lot of lonely men out there, "Don't worry, I won't let them touch you," when in the actual movie, she says, "Don't worry, I won't let them rape you." That's an example of the not-so-hot dialogue.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie for what it was.

Stalag 17

I finally saw this movie! I don't know what I was expecting. I suppose that because this movie takes place in a WWII prison camp, I was expecting it to be sad. Actually, it's a drama with plenty of laughs as well as seriousness. The story is featuring one barracks of prisoners of war who keep trying to get a couple of people to escape to get help. All of their efforts are thwarted by the Germans, who seem to be getting their information from one of the prisoners.

This movie has a lot of heart, good acting, and features an aspect of prison camps I never really thought about: community among prisoners. The way they find ways to entertain themselves, ways to decorate for Christmas, and even ways to see the female Russian prisoners all add a lot of charm to the film.

Very pleasant movie experience. An Oscar went to William Holden for Best Actor in this one.

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

This movie was about what I expected. It's funny, sometimes makes you wince, has Ben Stiller being about the same person he always is in movies these days, and a little bit of heart.

Plenty of laughs and good brainless fun.

These days..

I noticed I've mostly been posting book and movie reviews, so I just thought I'd mention what's been going on lately.

We've been visiting with our new nephew, Harrison. He is at the stage of sleeping and passing gas, pretty mcuh. The Grandparents Lee (Ric's mom's parents) drove all the way down from Castro Valley on their own (they're in their 80s) to see their new great-grandchild. We all hung out together. I think I've discovered that I don't really like Mimi's food. Anyway, Ric's brother's family will be moving to AZ in a couple of months. I'm upset about it. I like hanging out with them. They're planning to be in town once a month but I don't know if it will actually happen once they're out there.

Also, our next door neighbors just had their first kid last week. His name is Jaden. He came home yesterday, I think, although I haven't heard any crying yet.

David was in town and we went to the LACMA together, as well as to see AVP.

My office moved rather smoothly, although I'm dead tired. We just had the MA orientation and I had a 12.5 hour day doing both my job and my supervisor's (who's on vacation) on Monday that I'm still recovering from. I'm dreading work every day, which seems to be a sign that I really need to get out. Patience. The right position at the university will show up.

We just celebrated Grace's birthday last night, with all the friends, and celebrated my sister's birthday on Friday at this nice little restaurant called My Thai, at which I didn't see any Mai Thais (sp?) on the menu.

Got a lot of concerts coming up. The Curiosa Festival next week, the Femmes the week after, Echo and the Bunnymen (still deciding on going), possibly the Inland Invasion if I go insane and decide that Morrissey and Siouxsie are worth a KROQ concert event, Siouxsie in September, Air at the end of September, and Supergrass in October. Whew!

It's been busy. We're still advertising our house in AZ. It's average for it to be up for rent a couple of months, and it's not affecting us financially, so we're cool. But we'll be even better when we're raking in the dough!

The Amazing Race

Wendy and I have been watching The Amazing Race together every Tuesday. We watched American Idol in the Spring and now this one in the summer. It's a good excuse to get together, although I've missed out the past two weeks with her.

Watching this race makes me want to travel.

Along with that, it makes me want to be in control of the show so I can elminate people like the above pictured girls, Mirna and Charla. I would have eliminated them about 3 episodes ago. Charla is a little person, who surprisingly was forced by her cousin to do almost ALL of the work on the show. For instance, hauling a 50 pound piece of meat: Mirna gets tired and there's little Charla hauling ass with a piece of meat that ways almost as much as she does. Mirna gets tired while pushing a little wagon and Charla tells her to let go and she'll push. Mirna has Charla climb down a giant pyramid to get a wet knapsack and carry it up a really long ladder. What a wuss. And she was nuts. She always had these crazy theories about how everyone else in the competition was jealous of her. She had a lot of off the wall comments, and if someone looked at her the wrong way, they were a bitch. So, although Charla was an impressive contestant, I'm incredibly glad to see these two go.

Overall, I think I'm rooting for Chip and Kim or the Bowling Moms. They're a lot less catty than the other contestants.

Olympic Fever

So I'm a little bit crazy about the Olympics. I TiVo about 8 hours of footage a day and then speed watch most of it. I can't say enough how TiVo has made my life better.

Anyway, I think I could probably watch any sport and enjoy myself. I was surprised by how intense badminton can get at the Olympic level. I like how Google is changing their logo every day for the Olympics.

The only thing I'm pissed about right now is that I just used Yahoo! to search for something, and right smack in the middle of the page they announced the winner of the girl's team gymnastics competition. Bastards. Some of us like to find out by actually WATCHING the competition.

Garden State

The Garden State is about a guy (Zach Braff) who returns home for the first time in nine years. His mother, who was a paraplegic due to a freak accident that happened when he pushed her at age 9, drowned in the bath and he returns for her funeral. His father blamed him for his mother's paralysis and, as a psychologyist, prescribed a lot of medicine for him and then sent him away to boarding school. When the son returns home, he leaves his drugs behind for the first time in years and comes out of his numbness when he befriends a girl named Sam, played by Natalie Portman.

I think someone out there in the media made a comparison that got the world expecting this to be the Graduate of our times, which is a shame. Now there's a backlash from critics who think Braff's work doesn't deserve to exist because it isn't the Graduate. The heroes of each story are both young and "finding themselves," but that's where the similarity ends for me, so I see no reason to give the movie such a hard time for not being the Graduate.

For a first effort, directing, writing, and starring, I think Zach Braff did a decent job. He and Natalie Portman did well, the story was pretty good, and there were a lot of great supporting characters. The ending felt a little bit contrived, but oh well. The rest made up for it in my opinion.

I liked it.

Alien Vs. Predator

Fun. There was more story than I expected. Amusing while I was in the theatre. Surprisingly better than I anticipated.



HIGHLIGHT THE FOLLOWING FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW THE ENDING.....

So basically, the predators kill off all the aliens in an underground pyramid. One particular predator, in the process, got jumped on by an alien. He's killed later by the mother alien. Then the predator's "kin" pick him up on their spaceship, and we assume that all the aliens have been killed. But wait, the final shot on the predator spaceship is an alien breaking out of the dead predator's body. So there's a ship somewhere out there in space with one scrawny little alien vs. a ship of predators. Oh and the other catch is that some viewers think it looks like an alien-predator hybrid. The end. That ending seems a little bit lame to me, because there's a freaking ship of alien hunters vs. a tiny little baby.

The Illustrated Man

I wrote a great review for this yesterday, and in the middle of it, tech support came over to fix the printer hookup, got nosey, decided to install adaware and re-started my computer without asking me if I needed to save anything. Grrrrrr.

Back when I was young, I remember reading a cool Bradbury story my sister lent me, about a “smart� playroom that could conjure up any atmosphere the children in the playroom desired. If they wanted a forest, it would smell like a forest, and the walls would change to look like one. But the children in this story are mad at their parents, and they create an African veldt, complete with bloodthirsty lions. The room tortures their parents, who realize a bit too late that they have let themselves rely on technology a bit too much in their own home. I always wanted to read that story again, and was pleasantly surprised to find it right at the beginning of The Illustrated Man.

This book, by Ray Bradbury, revolves around the premise of a man meeting another man who is covered in tattoos from neck to feet. The tattoos are “bewitched� and the images actually move and tell stories, often the future. Each section of the man’s body tells a different story, thus the book is a collection of short stories. Most of the stories revolve around the relationships between Earth, space, Mars, God, man, and technology. Bradbury offers an interesting balance of seeming to embrace future technology while still being wary of how it could change mankind for the worse if taken too far.
Stories I enjoyed:
- priests arrive on Mars with plans of evangelizing the men up there, discover strange beings and decide to evangelize them, and then end up being evangelized – in a sense – by the beings.
- Martians invade Earth via children, the least suspicious approach
- Men drudge through the rainy lands of Venus in search of a sun dome for shelter. Several of the men are going mad.
- All black people have moved to Mars and the rest of Earth destroys itself in an atomic war. The few people left on Earth send help to Mars, and as the rocket ship approaches, the black people start to plan “back of the bus� signs for all the white people. Of course, when they meet the old Earth man in the rocket, their perspectives change.

Actually, I enjoyed pretty much all of the stories. I’m really starting to like Bradbury’s style.

Around the World in 80 Days

We decided to dollar this one when Ric’s parents said it was amusing, and really, it was. Around the World in 80 Days certainly doesn’t take itself seriously, and I don’t think I’ll ever be certain of what the target audience is, but it’s fun, and it’s got Jackie Chan. The rest of the cast was surprisingly better than expected, and there are plenty of fun cameos, our favorite being our governor. There are some creative historical jokes, such as a fighting scene in an art gallery, where a paint-covered Chan is slammed up against a painting in progress, Van Gogh’s “Starry Night,� and adds a tree to the painting. Stuff like that make it fun, plus Chan’s sense of humor, and an overall very quick pace. Fun for the kiddies and worth a buck to me.

Well done! This is one of the best, if you don't know it GET IT NOW!!!

The Philadelphia Story

I avoided this movie for a long time because it stars Katherine Hepburn. But lately, my opinion of her has been changing, so once I saw that Cary Grant was a co-star, I was convinced that it was worth a try. There were several other great actors in it, including Jimmy Stewart. The story revolves around a socialite divorcee who is planning to get married the next day when her ex-husband arrives in town and blackmails her into having reporters from Spy magazine be able to do a story on her wedding. One of the reporters becomes a bit of a problem when she finds herself attracted to him. And it all goes crazy from there.

Great performances from everyone involved. It was a lot of fun, and more biting than most old movies in terms of its unflinching talk of divorce and suggestive situations.

Liked it!

The Limey

Tivoed The Limey and finally watched it. This stars Terrence Stamp as an ex-con who comes to America to investigate his daughter's supposed accidental death. He gets help from a couple of her friends and hunts down a man she had been having an affair with, played by Peter Fonda.

The style of the movie is cool. Great music, although it pops up out of nowhere sometimes. Stamp is perfect and quite suave, especially as he at first seems quite calm and then ends up shooting all sorts of people just to get a phone number and screams bloody murder afterwards.

The ending doesn't live up to the expectations the beginning of the movie set up. Fairly anticlimactic. While there is an attempt to create a soft side to the movie, talking about the father-daughter relationship, it never quite works in that aspect. Overall, I thought the style was great, Stamp was great, and the rest was okay.

The Village

How do I review this without talking about the plot?

Oh well.

My overall view of this movie is skewed, because I'm the movies moderator and had read the posts about the latter half of the movie before seeing it... In the future, I plan to see Shyamalan movies on opening night to avoid this situation. At any rate, I knew how it was going to end, and I'm not sure if my opinion of the movie would be different had I gone into it unawares.

I enjoyed the actors in The Village. Howard, obviously, is the talk of the town for a reason.

The style of Shya (that's what I'll call him for short) isn't always my favorite. It's very deliberate, which sometimes drives me crazy. His movies don't make me nervous so much as they awaken impatience in me.

The movie kept my interest, kept me involved, and Howard's and Hurt's acting made me care. I also liked the atmosphere of the village itself. However, the plot sort of bothered me and Adrien Brody definitely annoyed me.

I guess that means I liked it overall, but definitely don't think it's a masterpiece.

just a thought

so does anyone else think that tom cruise playing a bad guy is his move to be thought of more seriously, like denzel washington when he did training day? knowing hollywood, they'll probably give him an oscar. i have no interest in this movie whatsoever.

Moving, Just Keep Moving...

Our office is moving next week to the old psychology building, otherwise known as the shack. Shockingly, I'm not as upset as I originally was about the move. They painted the whole interior, and we got to choose our colors, and they put in new carpet. SO, instead of brown with brown and the dusty feeling the building had, it's now bright and full of light colors, and actually liveable. I won't have all of the windows like the house we're moving out of, but I will be centrally located on campus, so that's good.

Anyway, we're packing everything up right now. One lady is already packed and on vacation. Of course, everyone who has been calling wants to talk to her specifically. We can't help a lot of people because they all have odd cases that she has been working on for a while. They all call and get pissed off that she's gone. She's been warning everyone she's talked to for the last four months that she's going on vacation, but they just didn't pay attention until it was too late.

OH, and this one lady that called yesterday needs to have a good smack in the mouth. She got mad that her credential was mailed to Argentina. But she didn't inform us to update her address, so what were we supposed to do? Her credential was sent out to a good few addresses and kept getting returned, and her telephone number was outdated so we couldn't contact her. So she calls and finds out that her credential got sent to her old foreign country address and nearly bites my head off. And when I tell her the lady she needs to talk to about getting a replacement is gone, she freaks even more. I tell her to leave a voicemail and she gets all pissy about not having a phone call returned the week before the lady left on vacation, which was an incredibly busy week. "Isn't there ANYONE else?" I say, "NO. I'm sorry, but she's the only one you should talk to. Would you like to leave another voicmail? I'm sure she'll return your call when she gets back." She says, "Well, I guess I don't have a choice!" I just say, "Okay..." And she says, "OKAY!" bitchily. So I give her one more competitively somewhat catty, "Okay!" and transfer her.

Anyhoo. If I don't post, it's because I've got crap to do around here and most of everything I can do will be packed up.

Troy

Troy was better than I expected, although there were plenty of little things to complain about.

1) My biggest complaint would be about Hector, played by Bana. Who in the world ever decided that Bana has enough charisma to be a big-name actor? Whenever he was on the screen with Pitt, it was obvious that Pitt is 10 times the actor he is. Thank God the rumors about him being cast as James Bond are false.

2) The most obvious complaint: the neverending muscial score that couldn't make up its mind. First, a Ben Hur-like orchestral theme, then a Passion-like eastern vocal theme, then several types of drumming. Just SHUT UP!

3) Achille's little girlfriend and everything involving her.. i.e., the writing. And I'm not talking about the original story. I'm talking throwing a wet rag back and forth at each other and later threatening to kill each other as foreplay.

Basically, the movie is filled with cool battle scenes, and only a few actors hold it together by not being laughable. Wow. And yet another movie for Brian Cox. Orlando Bloom was perfectly cast as Paris. Pitt was great as Achilles.

It was a lot of fun, although a bit long. Although I did have complaints, I really did enjoy myself.

Not Another Teen Movie

Yet another movie from tohe category of "I can't belive I watched this!" Obviously I was goaded into it by others, which is funny considering that I'm probably more likely to have seen all of the teen movies being mocked in this movie than any of my friends. I tend to watch them while doing laundry at my parents' house because nothing good is ever on in the afternoon on the weekends.

This was surprisingly funnier than I thought it would be, but mostly because it would parody other teen movies verbatim. Some references were made to movies that weren't really teen movies, but we got the references anyway. From Bring it On to 10 Things I Hate About You to Pretty in Pink to Cruel Intentions to Never Been Kissed to She's All That, I laughed at the things I recognized. I thought it was a shame that Weird Science wasn't somehow incorporated.

Overall, I give it a "Meh" with a slight smile.

Before Sunset

I really enjoyed Before Sunset.

For those who never saw Before Sunrise, the premise of that movie is that an American guy meets a French girl on a train to Vienna and they have an instant connection. The spend the whole night with each other, talking about interesting ideas (think Waking Life, since Before Sunrise and Sunset both came from the same guy who made it - Linklater). At the end [spoiler] they promise to meet up in 6 months without exchanging any contact info (which made it more adventurous).

Before Sunset takes place 9 years later. The guy, Jesse, is in Paris on a book tour with his book that is based on his experience with meeting the girl in Vienna, Celine. Celine shows up at the book signing and they decide to catch up before Jesse has to leave for the airport that same evening.

Both Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy worked on writing the script for this movie. The dialogue flows so naturally! Delpy also composed a lot of the music, and I loved her songs. The natural flow not only shows up in the dialogue, but also the interaction of the two characters, and especially the long continuous shots of them walking through the streets of Paris.

I like the way their conversation slowly but surely progresses to an intensity as their time together draws short. There's a scene in a car that was played out perfectly.

Loved it.

And of course, seeing Paris like that made me want to go again. I kept thinking to myself, "I bought a book in that bookstore! I have pictures of it! I walked down that street! I took a boat down the Seine too! I walked across that bridge!" It's pure torture.
