a balanced breakfast

my sister is bad. She escaped from my parent's home yesterday for a hot night on the town until around 3 in the morning. My mom heard her leave, with her keen mothers ears and she waited for her to come home...after locking all the doors and windows...
She is like one of those popular kids who will get really burnt/cracked out by the time she graduates...."sex, booze, and rap muzak 4 eva" is her chosen slogan.

This weekend was neat i guess...went to an astros game. Which is always somewhat fun in a not so fun kind of way. I dont like to watch baseball that much, yet i get involved in the game....probably in order to take out my annoyances from my day to day life on fucking stupid sports players that screw up occasionally......perhaps thats why they get paid so much.

28 days later was excellent. I heard beforehand that it had all been done on DV, which is exciting for a DV enthusiast like me. I like film, but i think breaking conventions is always a cool feeling. Once everything you see in a theater is shot on DV then it will suddenly be cool to use film again....its the way 'cool' goes. I think the main reason this particular film was all on DV, was completely for cost purposes...
Danny boyle, being fairly indy, doesn't get a great amount of money for his films, i assume...so he prolly spent most of the dough on all those expensive city locations you see in the begining, when the human race seems to be gone except for our main character, jim, who after waking up in a hospital, naked, is a bit confused about where everyone is. Then he runs into some people and stuff happens....zombie movie type stuff, i dont feel like getting into it. I thought the plot was surprisingly pretty cool for a zombie movie, lots of cool little foreshadowing, and a nice tempo....and the various social commentary works a little.......but its still a zombie movie. And the zombies vomit blood, and it is excellent!
The music also is pretty good, a few indy bands that elliot knew of provided most of it....the only one i could pick out was godspeed you black emperor.......Music i can never listen to in real life, but is definitely good for setting a mood.

There is a new foofighter video for "low," that has been banned from mtv...check it out

reminds me of that scary UK commercial for Aphex Twin's drukqs or whatever....if youve seen that....not as scary though.
