Words for YOU!
Jul. 9th, 2009 11:12 amHoly fucking weddings, Batman!
At least three this year, methinks. In April, Jacquelyn and I drove out to Colorado for her sister's wedding. On August 1st, my friends Pierre and Tara (who I've been friends with since 1997) are finally getting married. Jacquelyn is flying to a conference that first week of August, so she won't be attending that one. However, in September, another friend of ours is getting married and we'll be attending that one. I can't remember if I posted about that one or not - I did the invite for it. They wanted it to look a bit like a concert poster. Apparently they've gotten some mighty fine compliments about it.
What else has been going on?
I went and saw Public Enemies yesterday. It was pretty good - not fabulous, but good. The casting and acting was really spot-on. My only real criticism is all technical - the editing was a little wonky, the dark scenes were grainy. There was so much bass on the gunfire (which I'm not sure was on purpose or not) that you actually cringed when the guns fired. A few places the audio was not mixed well. Otherwise it was awesome. Being a fan of The Illuminatus! Trilogy, I am especially enamored of the Dillinger legend. I think that was really the last time a criminal was a folk hero. SPOILER: One thing they left out, which I think was poignant was that after the FBI shot Dillinger in front of the Biograph theatre, the crowd rushed the police and dipped their handkercheifs in his blood, like he was a saint.
My birthday is this coming Tuesday. Jacquelyn and I are going to Devil's Lake camping for a couple days after I get off work on Tuesday. Ethan's birthday is Thursday, but we'll be celebrating it with him the following Saturday. Somehow I still have to squeeze in the new Harry Potter movie in there next week. Have I mentioned how excited I am for that? It's been two years since the last movie. Two years!
I think I'm getting Ethan a custom pair of Chucks for his birthday. Did you know you could design your own Chucks on their website? Yeah, bitches! I have no idea what I want for my birthday. I never do though. I never got much of anything for my birthdays when I was a kid and maybe I just got used to not expecting much. I also don't walk through stores and think about how much I want the stuff I see. Sorry to anyone who has ever tried to figure out what to get me :)
Have you people seen fucking delicious? It's pretty hilarious. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
