I am a cold weather pussy. As far as the computer goes, my newest hobbies include looking at gossip blogs, [gawker, wonkette, adrants] news sites, [tmn, guardian, nytimes] and craigslist.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Movie Reviews<br \/>\nnetflix is awesome. I get movies in my mailbox! Matt Blume says that if you threaten to cancel they drop the cost by $5.<\/p>\n<p>I gave you a glimpse of this feature last week with my David Cross, &#8216;Let America Laugh&#8217; Review [not very good]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manhattan,<\/strong> Woody Allen. Pretty good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Devil&#8217;s Playground.<\/strong> This is a documentary about Rumspringa, the period when Amish teenagers get to go nuts and decide if they want to join the church or be like normal people. I have always wondered why people don&#8217;t make fun of the Amish more, they would never find out about it. I heard the CBS is pitching a Rumspringa reality series. This movie lacked the Amish teen sex I was anticipating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Harder They Come.<\/strong> A supposed classic starring reggae great Jimmy Cliff. This movie should be subtitled, because I couldn&#8217;t understand what the hell the were saying, talking all Jamican and what not. Plus it wasn&#8217;t a good movie. Basically a Jamican spin on the American western genre. The soundtrack is good, but they cycle the same 5 songs over through the whole movie&#8230;low budget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gimme Shelter.<\/strong> Documentary following the Rolling Stones in 1968 that leads up to this free concert they put on in San Fransisco. It was promoted as a woodstock type deal. Well, they had the Hell&#8217;s Angels help out with security and they beat up some hippies. Pretty ok. Made me see that Mick Jagger was a sexy bitch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stevie.<\/strong> A documentary about Southern Illinois white trash. Do you like long, depressing stories? This is for you. I enjoyed it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Love Liza.<\/strong> I was stoked for this move starting P.S. Hoffman. He sniffs gas because he is sad. It wasn&#8217;t great.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nico Icon.<\/strong> She is pretty, german, and sang for the Velvet Underground for a little while. She is also boring.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current Interests:<\/strong> Cereal, push-ups (the exercise), gossip, teaching Taffy the dog to fetch her hamburger. recieving mail, thinking about reading.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Cities I have been to (outside of Kansas and airports): Kansas City, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Seattle, New York, Orlando, Raleigh, Washington D.C., St. Louis, Vancouver, Des Moines, Sante Fe, London, Copenhagen.<br \/>\nI was hoping that list would be longer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sleep Log<\/strong><br \/>\nMonday 6:00am\u20131:00pm, 8:00pm\u20131:30am<br \/>\nTuesday 6:00am\u20139:30am, 1:00pm\u20134:00pm<br \/>\nWednesday 12:00am\u20138:30am (normal!), 2:00pm\u20135:00pm<br \/>\nThursday 1:00am\u20135:00am, 5:00pm\u20137:00pm<br \/>\nFriday 1:30am\u20139:00am, 7:00pm\u20138:00pm<br \/>\nSaturday 1:00am\u20134:00am 7:00am\u20131:00pm<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nE-mail Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You should see this highly-lucrative freelance job I am involved in&#8230; Excerpt: &#8220;In the church of human connectivity, these hot dogs are the communion wafer&#8230; &#8221; \u2014Sam<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Last night I drank three beers and felt like I was really having a freak out good time oldie. \u2014Matt B<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;ve been thinking about you a lot lately.
