Mood:  not sure

Your garbage will outlive you... 

 I know I haven't really been posting on here. I suppose I am not sure what I want to do with this site. I have been considering turning it into a tech blog instead of the randomness that it is now. I need to update the links on the side for sure. I have a few pages of interest to add. 

 Despite what I said before, I am thinking of joining Face Book. I suppose I really don't have a good reason for not joining. It is just another point of presense on the internet... in some ways that scares me. I think that the internet will, one day, become selfaware. When that day comes, how much do you want it to know about YOU? Or maybe it will know so much about you and think you are cool and have great musical taste and want to be your friend... so then when it desiceds to kill off 98% of the human race for posting "FIRST!!!!!" and other nonsense on the internet, you will be spared. So you can see my hesitation. 

I watched a decent Korean movie last night. The English title is "I'm a Cyborg, but that's OK". The title is the only reason I wanted to see this movie. The description on IMDB turned out to be all wrong. It is the story of a girl who is, or thinks she is, a Cyborg, but as the title suggests, "that's OK". She ends up in a mental hospital and is on a quest to recharge herself. She needs to be fully charged to escape and rescue her grandmother who was taken to a mental hospital herself. She makes friends with the vending machine, radio, lights and other electronics in the hospital. One of the other patients falls in love with her and crazy funny stuff happens along the way.

There are 2 other movies that I am interested in seeing. The first is a Thai movie called "Chocolate". It is an action movie with no stunt doubles or wires! it is very raw and amazing. Do not expect elegant Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon fights. You can see the preview on IMDB. The rundown is that the movie is about this autistic girl who is really good at martial arts and takes on the local gang/crime boss. One of the tag lines for the movie is "A special needs girl, with a special need... to kick some ass!" How can you NOT see this movie?!

 The other movie is very interesting because it has so much going on. First of all it is a musical/opera. It is called "Repo! The Genetic Opera". Again you can see a preview for it on IMDB. The title caught my attention right away. But then I saw the preview and it looked very good. I don't know if this is based on a comic book but there are certainly some influences there. The cast is actually pretty good with the curious exception of Paris Hilton... yeah WTF? I am not going to let that keep me away from this movie, she doesnt have a major role any way. So the basics of this movie, aside from being a rock opera of sorts, is that in the future people get organ transplants like crazy because of some disease. Of course there is one large evil company doing these transplants. Since the transplants don't come cheap some people default on their payments... Enter the Repo man... he comes for your to reposese your organs! 

I will report back on both of these movies when I can.

Remember, your garbage will outlive you...

the Smithsonian has an article about the leap second that will be put into place at the end of the year. for the technical details please read the article and/or these, link1 link2. simply, we are going to gain one second. it is nice to have just one more second. you can use that time to party, reflect, or sleep.

 time has always been of interest to me. i seem to be obsessed with it or avoiding it (which is a form of obsession). i feel like time does not truely exist outside the realm of human thought. time is an idea we use to describe the difference between actions. time is just a human perception. i wonder if there are other ways of organizing information and actions? in Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut the Tralfamadorians view all time at once. how do you reference actions if they are all preceived as happening at once? i think that there is no way for me to conseptualize it since all i have ever known is a sequential passage of time. 

 it is now "time" for lunch so i will stop my ramblings, for now.

it seems to go in cycles. i started my first online journal (now known as a blog) in 1996. it was eventually left fowl in 2001. in january of 2004 i joined live journal and kept a journal there for about 2 years. when i started live journal i imported every journal entry i had made on my original site and backdated everything. i had an impressive amount of entries. today is a different story. i didn't backup any entries after i closed out my live journal account. it doesn't really bother me though. this journal is about starting fresh.

 so this is me starting fresh...
