My Poor Brain

Wow, I’ve been lazy. I haven’t written in a while and I think I owe it to ALL THE WORLD to write today. Of course, I have been MEANING to write for a while now.

Topics that I wanted to write about over the past two weeks, but never did:

1, The Pepperoni Hot Pockets Recall

My friend, Ian, warned me about this first. I adore my pepperoni Hot Pockets, so I did some research. Apparently some plastic got into the hot pockets on a certain day. I THINK the pack I have in my freezer is safe because the date is different. So I ate mine that same day. I figured, It’s just plastic and not rat poison or something. The worst that could happen is it cuts my mouth, or I swallow it and it rips apart my insides. No big, at least I’m not hungry.

2. Tropic Thunder Review

I have a rule that if I haven’t written the review in the same weekend that the movie was released, I will probably skip the review. So here’s my review: Ben Stiller makes some funny ass films. Tropic Thunder is fucking awesome. Robert Downey Jr. rocks, and I never thought Monks in love could be such a funny thing to watch. I’m sure you all saw it already. WASN’T TOM CRUISE NUTS!?!?!? I also heard about the protests against the movie because of the use of the word retard, and the film that Ben Stiller’s character was in: Simple Jack, whose tagline is “Once, there was a retard.” So I was very very VERY nervous when a woman wheeled in a man on a wheelchair, representing both types of people that were offended. I was like “FUCK I can’t laugh, DON’T laugh.” I laughed.

3. Way of No Way

I will most likely be updating on this regularly. Basically, my friends, Alex and Ian, and I are back on the hard track of our band. We played a lot in High School, and then after that it was very sporadic as everyone was in college/work. But Alex dropped out, and Ian doesn’t want to go to school. So the band life it is. I JUST started at school, so the pressure was on me. But I love the busy lifestyle and I have told them that my school life will not get in the way. I will divulge more on this in it’s own topic soon.

4. ROKU NETFLIX BOX

If you don’t have Netflix (GET IT), then you haven’t heard of this, or you have (that was a pointless sentence). Netflix has a watch instantly feature, along with their DVD mail delivery system. You can go on the PC and watch movies off their website, streamed at great quality all around. But not all of their movies are available for Watch Instantly, but they are working on that. And I don’t hold that against them, streaming is the future of watching movies, and they are the first ones to step in on that. To further that venture, they have released the Roku Netflix Box. I finally got one and HOLY FUCK it is amazing. Not one bad thing has been said about this thing, and rightly so. I set it up and was watching an episode of Dexter in 10 minutes out of the box. The quality is mind boggling. You can go with an ethernet cable OR wireless. One would assume that the wireless feature of streaming a huge movie would be not so fantastic. Fuck that, this thing is JUST as good as DVD’s. The sound is amazing and the video is amazing. I never thought this thing was possible. When I first watched an episode of Dexter, I freaked out for a second because the audio and video somehow got misaligned. I HATE that. But then 15 seconds later, it paused for a split second and it was FIXED by itself. I can’t say enough about this thing. GET ONE.

There you have it. I feel I made up for the past two weeks, sort of. I’m still trying to figure out how to handle this site, content wise, and technical wise. But I am not very educated on the technical side of things, so that may be a while. But if you can read then you should be okay.
