<< Haha!! This made me lol. I just thought I'd share it.Man, it is far too hot. Bleurgh.
Spring Patisserie have the BEST cookies 'n' cream cheesecake. Om nom nom.
So, people care what I write here. Well, I assume they do as people have subscribed to this here bloggie. I think I'll use this a a dumping ground for stuff that I write, and maybe occasionally I'll share something intelligent with you. I know that people expect me to complain about things, but I honestly don't have much (in my own life) to complain about. Seriously, my life is pretty cruisy. Well, maybe around March when all of my French class excpet me and a girl I don't like much jet-set off to France, maybe then I'll be complaining. It does suck when your family don't have a lot of spare cash. But no, my life is pretty good.

But I guess if you're as apathetic about things as I am, everything's pretty good. The only thing I really care about is my schoolwork, as sad as theat may be. That and my friends. Cuz I'd be pretty miserable if I didn't have such rad buddies.
Wow. I haven't listened to the radio in like two months. I haven't heard any new songs in a while. I guess it's a bit stupid to listen pretty much exclusively to old stuff. But let's face it, mysic nowadays is pretty bad. Until hip-hop/rap music dies the death it deserves, or at least fades away into specialist radio stations, modern music will stay pretty terrible. Especially when stuff is labelled as rock when it definately isn't just so the radio staions fill their quota. At least some bands are still banging away and achieving as much success as they can in an industry dominated by crap.
Why has Avatar been noninated for a Best Picture Oscar?? It absolutely does not deserve it. Sure, it's visuals are amazing, but that's why they have a category for Best Visual Effects. Frankly, its story is nothing more than average. Films nominted for the Best Pic award should have substantial, meaty stories that can affect people emotionally. If Avatar wins, it will just show how much damage films with big budgets and flash computer work have done to the chances of films with intelligent, meaningful screenplays and well-thought-out cinematography. As for James Cameron's complaining about how his actors weren't nominated for Oscars because of the fact that it was motion-capture? Dude! They didn't deserve nominations anyway! The acting wasn't anything special. I mean, how powerful can you be when wearing a giant camera-helmet? How can a 10-foot-tall blue alien have the same emotional ranges as a real actor up on screen? I'm not dissing the actors. Maybe if they had decent matarial to work with, they'd have given better performances.
Thank God Avatar wasn't nominated for a screenplay award, that's all I can say.
Fantastic Mr. Fox deserves the Best Animated Movie award. But Up will win. I mean, that's nominated for Best Pic. It's a great film, just not as good as Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Okay, movie rant over.
Today's Quote: "It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it." -Andy Warhol
