wedding/moon

I went to see "Moon" finally the other morning. I like going to the early morning shows before 2pm because they're only $5. Anyway, the film was very good. You could definitely pick up on the "2001: A Space Odyssey" inspiration (I guess you'd call it). It had the same "wtf just happened" feel to it. Pretty much a two-hour long mindfuck. Really good though.

Tomorrow my family's going to my second-cousin's wedding; definitely will be a good time. Anytime my whole family gets together (either side) it's always fun.

On another note, I have little bug bites all over me. There must have been a mosquito or two in my room last night -sigh-. So anyway, have a nice weekend. I'm glad I have off Sunday.

Harry Potter and Stop-Motion

My friend Shelby and I are going to see the new Harry Potter movie at the IMAX tonight at midnight. I've heard it's very "dark".
This morning I rode over to the high school, which still looks like a war zone from all the construction, and helped out again with the opening day video. The video is a Lego stop-motion of construction. Through the years I've created my own stop-motion videos -



Mediocre at best, but I still like them a lot. So, on my agenda soon is to make a new one. Something classy, interesting, and just plain neat. I really liked the one Ross Ching did for the Death Cab for Cutie song "Little Bribes." Check it out.

I'll leave all of you with that (I pretend that I have tons of followers).

Aches and pains

I am online so much, I find so many interesting sites and images (I usually save the pictures that I think are neat).

Okay, I'm not sure why it's happening, but my shoulder/back/chest/left side is in so much pain. This is the third day of this crap and it really doesn't seem like it's getting any better. When I woke up it hurt to move, to cough, to breathe and to blow my nose. Basically anything that involved using muscles there, I guess. I called out of work because there was just no way I could make it through the day. I'm hoping it gets even a little better so I don't have to call out tomorrow.


I helped paint part of my Aunt's store, Little Egg Harbor Soap Co.. I helped with filming the "Welcome Back" video for the first day of school in September. I helped install a fan in my kitchen with my dad. I'm just a helping fool lately; and now I'm pretty much crippled.

Here's to getting better! Enjoy your health.

Working

So, I work at the local Saladworks. Surprise! You have six days this week, ha. Well there's a flash flood warning for next paycheck if ya'know what I mean ;)
I got my sister's old bike all fixed up and cleaned it myself, I'll be riding that around for awhile. I also almost have my permit! Cool cool.
This week seems so busy; I have so many things I want to do with so many people. There's still august, though.










I'm also planning on seeing "Moon" at the theatre down the street with my friend. I was so surprised when I heard it was playing there, thinking it would only be shown in large cities. Thanks Franks Theaters!

I think other than that it's laundry time, and then maybe I'll ride around for a few. 'Lyda and Jess are supposed to come over, but I haven't heard from them.

Camping










That's my room (part of it anyway). Tomorrow my family leaves to do a little camping up in Pennsylvania. Four days at Knoebels Amusement Park, whooo. It should be a good time, this is the third year going.

Yesterday, my friend Tyler and I went to see some bands play. It was Ezra Joyce's last show (check them out on Myspace); definitely worth the half hour drive. There were a handful of other bands too, all talented. I like those bands so much better than the "Firehall" bands that are just trying to "make it big."

So, other than that it's dinner time, WOOT!
I actually have some projects lined up. Two music videos for local bands and a Zombie Film. yes. YES.

Bicycles













Isn't that bike awesome! (Sigh) My bike recently, through unfortunate circumstances, had it's rear wheel bent. I know nothing of the mechanics of bicycles, but I love to ride them. So, it's either I have that fixed, or I go buy a tube for my sister's old bike. Last time I tried to change the tube of a geared bike it didn't get put back together correctly. I'll have to decide soon; this weather is sooooo nice.

Title-less

Well, the start of summer has been fine so far; I'm not one at all to complain.
The other day I bought some new sneakers online, and a memory card for my new camera as well. (I lost the other somewhere in between Phoenix and Philadelphia :\ ) . I was more upset with loosing the pictures I had on the card than the camera itself. The new one has 12.1mp, though, so not too shabby.
Hm, I think I'm going to start making short-films with my one friend soon. It makes me feel better that I won't just be sitting around when I'm home.
I'm personally hoping for a zombie flick (I bought liquid latex and fake blood) but we'll have to wait and see if he'll go for that.
I'll show you my shoes when the get here; It should be today actually. I love UPS tracking, I feel like a CIA agent or something.
