Oh. My Lord. The Royal Tenenbaums, Directed by Wes Anderson (Bottle Rocket! Rushmore!), Starring Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller. Geez, talk about the greatest movie season of all time. Click here to check out the official site and watch the trailer!. I'm also a Cameron Crowe fan (Almost Famous was ok) but Vanilla Sky is his new film. I enjoyed Jerry MafuckingGuire so I guess I'll have to go check that out. List of movies i'm hyped to go see:
1.) Fellowship of the Rings. Last Peter Jackson flick I saw was the Frighteners, which I enjoyed. But man..the trailer!
2.) Ali. Michael Mann's film looks so far so good, except that Will Smith doesn't SOUND like Ali..
3.) Star Wars Episode II. Ok, I saw the trailer and George Lucas couldn't direct traffic (not the movie Traffic), but it's Star Wars.
4.) The Royal Tenenbaums. Wes Anderson rocks. Loved Rushmore and Bottle Rocket.
5.) Oceans 11. Steven Soderberg is badass. So is George Clooney...too bad Marky Mark Walburg isn't here to complete their 'thrillogy'.

Hehehhehehe...The Dialector! Dames had a link to a page that translates webpages into a certain dialect, from Jive to Cockney. I decided to translate Emily Dickinson's love poem: I Taste Some Liquor, come and see!
I Taste some Liquo'
by Emily Dickinson
I taste some liquo' neva' brewed
From Tankards scooped in Pearl.
Not all de vats downon de Rhine
Yield such an alcohol! Right on!
Inebriate uh air - am I
And Debauchee uh Dew, so cut me some slack, Jack.
Reelin' - dro endless summa' days
From inns uh molten blue.
When "Landlo'ds" turn de drunken bee
Out uh de foxglove's doo' -
When butterflies - renounce deir "drams"
I shall but drink de mo'e! Right on!
Till seraphs swin' deir snowy hats
And saints - t'windows run
To see da damn little Tippler
Leanin' against da damn - sun

I have nothing to 'blog' about. I read some of The Fellowship last night, so far so good. I've been listening to KGSR all day and they've been reminding us ever five minutes that George Harrison died early this morning. Well that sucks. Now there's only Ringo and Paul left. Seeing how Ringo has been moneyless for a majority of his post-Beatles career, any George Harrison tributes will not benefit him. Anyways, gonna go back to reading my book.
Song of the Day:

Rerun city. Tonights ER was a rerun from a time before I started watching ER. Anyways, gonna hit the sack and start reading about Eliajah Wood--err I mean The Fellowship of the Rings. I watched some of that special they had on FOX tonight...man it looks too good to be true. POTG has pointed out some early reviews from Ain't It Cool News. They previewed a scene where this Underground Troll is busting through the door onto the Fellowship. Lemme tell you, I think i'm more excited to see this than Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Bad Title. Well actually, that looks cool too. So many movies coming out.

Chilled out! So I stumble out of my bed and see MethodJoe watching Good Morning America or something and I ask him: "Is it iced over out there?" he replies "Yeah man, there's ice all over the sidewalk, all over my car.." So i say cool, I'll go back to sleep, there's no way in hell they're gonna be able to open up work today. I wake back up an hour later to call them, and unfortunately everybody showed up to work on time. Damn.

Classes cancelled tonight due to: Cold Winds? I head up to the campus tonight to attend my weekly Mathmaticon Training when I notice there's no cars there. Not like there's bad weather right now, just really chilly wind and sub 30's temperatures. Hey, it's Texas.

Part time job..?! With the semester ending soon, i'm thinking about getting a part time job to eat up my time through the holidays. I've narrowed it down to Barnes and Nobles or Borders. I haven't decided which one i'm gonna try to apply to. Interesting side note, I told the Gimp about my plan, and in between Godfather like puffs of his cigarette he goes: "Ya know H, a part time job will EAT YOU ALIVE. (puff) Think about it." What the hell?? Aw come on...

Tonights Smallville = Supermantastic! Talk about a suspensefull Smallville! Once again, Superman get's shafted on another psuedo-date with the lovely Lana Lang. While he's helping his buddy Pete from the arms of the voracious diet monster, Lana is stuck at her Birthday party without a Super-Date (ha!). I tell you what, all you true homies out there know how Thug the H-Dog is, but when they busted out that Enrique Iglesias song at the end, I almost shedded a couple tears...for my dead homies. Not that I even LIKE that Enrique Iglesias song (looks around). Anyways, a very cool episode of Smallville!

C++ and Smallville. The last time in the C++ class, we waited almost 20 minutes for the instructor to show up, but to no avail. Sweet for me, considering I had to prep myself up to go watch some Smallville last Tuesday (which sucked by the way). I guess we'll see if he shows up tonight or not. I've been meaning to take my digital camera in there and snap a few photos of the Kumpatinator (the instructor) but have yet to do it. I gotta remind myself today.

So i'm strolling into class tonight. As I head towards the classroom, I hear the typical coughing and wheezing coming down the hallway. Who could it be? None other than the General and his TB. Then I noticed the fool is still wearing his dog piss/febreeze pants from the other day! And I know that you know The General does his laundry about twice a month....gross.

Forgot to tell you guys about the other day. When the General and I were watching Tomb Raider, his dog started to unleash the beast on the floor, pissing and staining over everything. General got up and got all pissed off, then the puppy sported a boner and ran off somewhere. We were gonna meet up with The Gimp later that night at the Pub, so General decides to bust out his Sunday best, all Night at the Roxbury-ish and all. When he puts his pants on, he starts to smell dog piss on it and says "Damnit!", then grabs a bottle of Febreeze and continues to spray the living sin out of his pants. The truely disgusting part? He leaves the pants on, to the detriment of all the lovely ladies out there. Hahahaha...

Soda Pop! I finally did it. Some time back in..July, I spilt a Coke near the back of my desk, where it puddled under the desk hutch and stayed there until today. I tried to totally avoid that area of the desk, but as it became more and more cluttered, there was nothing more I could do. Formula 409 wouldn't make "The Thing" budge, so I had to bust open the IPA Alchohol. Not only did it eat up the syrupy mess, it's left my office smelling like an amphetamine factory. WOOOO....!

Back into the swing of things.. I get to work and there's all these little things to do, talk about annoying. I was expecting to come back and chill out with all my homies and homegirls, swapping Thanksgiving tales, but instead....MAN.

 Did anybody notice NBC broadcasting The Professional Bull Riding game today? I know some kickers down here get fanatical about this kinda stuff, but seriously, up there with watching Golf, how interesting can this be? Sure, seeing some dumbass be pummeled by a 1 ton Brahma would be amusing if you lived in, let's say, Goldthwaite, Texas, but it doesn't get my sports blood pumping. Also, does anybody actually know any Sports Trivia entailing Bull Riding? There's that one guy Luke Perry played in "8 Seconds" but I can't even remember his name off the top of my head. Is there a Michael Jordan, Gordie Howe or Joe Nameth of Professional Bull Riding? Do they have farm teams? Is getting a powdered funnel cake or a sausage on a stick have the same nostalgia as getting a hotdog with everything at a Major League Ballpark? So Many questions...
