Finally!

I have finally updated my slow (very slow) blog! Sorry for the late update. Finals week = HELL.

Anyway, now that finals are over I plan on making some time for my blog (among other things). Besides updating my blog I am focusing on some video projects with a local small-time band. We plan on finishing a video by the end of February, but seeing as how slowly we have been progressing I doubt we can finish by the end of March -.-

So! With that said lets get to what I have been seeing recently. First, and by far the most important, is "Slumdog Millionare". This was the best movie I have ever seen. And im not exaggerating at all - its really THAT good. The strong point of the movie lies in its storytelling. The director managed to blur the line between past and present and patched them together to make the story seamless and very smooth. It had just the right amount of mystery and revealing, a little give-and-take that left the viewer hooked to the movie, it reveals key parts of the story and at the same time presents more mystery. Not only that, but the director of photography really deserves to be mentioned. The way he presented India from the inside shows what "slumdog" really means. The beginning of the movie - when the 2 main protaganists are still children - was very interesting to me. The scenes of the children running through a jungle of rickety tin shacks and cramped dirty alleys was a very defining point in the origins of Salim and... The other kid... >.> Anyways, I can't really think of any negative points to this movie. Aside from the gross-out factor in some scenes. (Like the kid jumping in a pile of... Well just watch the movie.) All in all.. WAIT! I FORGOT TO MENTION ONE THING!!! LATIKA! The actor for Latika is gorgeous.

So! Thats all I got for tonight. Hah. Not much for a 21 day update huh? AH WELL! So is the life of a young adolescent with nothing to do. Anyway, a little something for my music loving J-rock fanatics!

This is the ending song to Bounen no Xam'd (A really good anime that I have yet to finish) Fall-Q should cover this song! Fall-Q should be a J-rock Cover Band! (Its in English BTW, The lead singer is apparently from Arizona)

First Step Into The Blogging World

Wow! My first blog!! WOOO! Seeing as how blogs are a great way to share thoughts with friends (and possibly friends-to-be?) I decided to make one XD. Okay, where to get started... *Tries to think outside the box* Well, lets start off with some school stuff. *Epic phail on creativity*

Week of January 4 - 10, 2009
1) English - I totally failed the sentence structure test in Chapel - 18 out of 33 is bad right?
2) Chem - Easy stuff. Somehow I still have a B...
3) Espanol - Hmm k.
4) Apush - Faster pace in test taking might pose as a problem later in the year XD, I should start reading on the weekends. Or reading period.
5) Video Game Dev. - I honestly believe this shouldn't be considered a class. Its just drawing in Photoshop. Thats it. I regret signing up for this class.
6) Math - F**k Fas.
7) C-High - So far so good. Bad news: I didn't make anchor for second semester T.T But now I am the camera guy for Sports on Wednesdays. Expect great footage from our Mighty Dons.

Alritey. I'll try to post up some of my favorite viral vids or movies I've been working on, other than that I will try to keep this blog updated.
