Back In Cleveland

Hello, long time no see.
This summer will have a lack of updates since it takes me about 45 minutes to do anything with the ol' dial up connection.
So far this summer has been relaxing; besides my unsuccessful job hunt (which is scaring me more and more everyday especially since I have been using my credit card like crazy with the expectation that I would have a job by the time the bill arrived)
I have spent the last two weeks hanging out with friends and reading.
Goodbye Erich Remarque. This summer I plan on reading nothing but science-fiction and chick lit. I know it's not the most important stuff in the world but who cares? I have 2 years to read important books.
It's like the difference between watching a re-run of Buffy and The News Hour. Is it more important to know about the state of the world than to know how to close a hell-mouth over a small California town? Maybe. But is it more fun? No.

I saw spiderman 3 and loved that Spiderman turned emo that there was a dance montage.
I think it was the best in the series no matter what anyone says.
Things are much slower here and while it is sometimes nice I am about to go insane with cabin fever, ick.
I think I want to take a trip this summer.
Saturday Beth is coming up and we are going to Flower Child to look for overpriced vintage furniture and records. I'm excited. I think that store is one of my favorite things about Cleveland/Lakewood.

Another good thing I found out today Prairie Margins awards apparently pay money, so in 2-3 weeks I will be 250 dollars richer for submitting a shitty poem :)

I have been typing this whole thing in Word while my Internet loaded. Hopefully by now the page will be up and I can be on my way.
Peace.

Last Day with a DSL connection!

Soon I'll be back in Cleveland, working off of a dial-up connection that's been connected to our computer since 1998.
This means my one passion in life, youtube, is being torn away from me today.
So in honor of the Summer Blockbuster Season (which starts tomorrow with spiderman) and my favorite obsession I went a little ape shit.

The most exciting movies of the summer:

I don't think there has ever been a super-hero movie that I haven't enjoyed.
I even like Batman and Robin.
I'm pretty sure Spiderman will be awesome.

Zombies? British People? Creepy Hospital Beds? I'm in.

I've kind of always wanted to be some sort of carrier criminal. I'm pretty sure I have this movie franchise to blame.

If you have ever been to my house you know I have a thing for Stephen King books. Since I read Carrie in 7th grade I have loved them. Unfortunately his movies suck unless they do a major change to the plot and Stephen King is not involved in the writing (a-la The Shining) . When I read this story I slept with my bed lamp on for 2 nights. I'm crossing my fingers.

I'm not super-pumped but I'll probably end up seeing it.

I hope the musical movie fad never ends! I can't wait for Sweeney Todd.

If I am excited about one movie this summer it's this one. I can't wait. Watch this clip.

Also there's Live free or Die Hard, Knocked Up and The Simpson's Movie but I'm pretty sure you've seen them all before.

Now In Other Clips:


I want to find the person who made this and keep them in my basement.
Oh Christ. I love that.
