Howdy peoples!
Just thought I’d inform you on a great movie I watched the other night! Napoleon Dynamite! I had massive expectations for this movie, with all the hype from friends and whatnot, so unfortunately I was a little dissapointed by it, but still a fantastic flick! The more I watch it the more I like it! It’s a different kind of humour to what you might imagine. As in it’s not your typical ‘comedy’ film with your one liners and toilet humour like most movies, it’s different. I’m not sure what it is, but I really like this movie. Where he lives, where he goes to school and all that are all key factors to what makes this movie great! And how Napoleon Dynamite looks… well.. take a look!
And the other characters that back this guy up are fantastic! Pedro! Kip! Uncle Rico and Tina (the llama) all make this movie that little extra funny! Funnily enough the guy who played Napoleon Dynamite actually looks normal!
*This next bit was written a few days later*
I just watched the movie with the commentary which includes jon heder (napoleon dynamite) and the writer. And what made this movie even better was listening to the writer talk about how almost every situation in this movie had happened to his brother! And it makes it funnier to know that these things actually happened!
*This next bit was written today*
Another thing that made me love this movie even more and even begin to be proud of it is the fact that Jeremy Coon (Producer/Editor) did all the editing for the film on a single mac computer, and for less than $6,000. The film was then taken to a film festival where Fox searchlight pictures picked it up for a cool 3.2 million. Not bad for a first timer!
Anyways, I think that you have to watch it more than once to truly enjoy it! It’s definately a different sort of comedy that relies on a true sense of humour. And I believe that if you didn’t think Napoleon’s line about girls wanting guys with skills was funny (at least the first time) I suspect no amount of explanation will bring that particular breed of humor to you.
One of the hardest things to do when writing a blog is to come up with a title. Especially when you start a blog entry without the intent of actually talking about a specific topic. This is just an random entry. That’s all it is.
Well. I’ve been sitting on this same line trying to think of something witty to talk about but i’m totally drawing a blank. How do you do that anyways? “Draw a blank”? I mean, who even comes up with that… Crazy people! That’s who!
I don’t think I can think of anything because I’ve got a fair bit on my mind. This week is going to be crazy busy at work with me covering extra hours. I’ve also got assignments to do and exams to prepare for. So it’s pretty full on. But’s it’s all good for the future I guess.
Here’s something for you all. I completed this not a half an hour ago and thought I’d show you all. I’ve been planning to do this for ages. It was actually in my original design for this website but never got done. But now it’s completed! But I must warn you. It could take some… no no no… it WILL take some time to download. I think it’s about 3.48mb so if you wanna see something cool then patience is the answer. Is it worth it? Of course! If it wasn’t worth it it wouldn’t be on the site now would it?
*I thought I’d add in a little extra something in here while you’re waiting for it too load. But I still can’t really think of anything. I’m getting closer to owning an iPod and some sort of laptop. Not sure if I still want an iBook because of complatibility issues. But it’s just so sexy I can’t really go past it. I’m 90% decided I’m going to get a iBook. I hate making decisions. Especially when it includes money. But i haven’t bought anything big for a long time and I’ve definately earnt it. I’m 100% on the iPod though! Yay!

So what do ya think? It was gonna go in the top right corner up there. But coz it takes too long to download i don’t think i’ll put it in now. I might just make a smaller version with a different style. It was made in Illustrator and Flash with Maskings and frame by frame animation. A little time consuming, not as long as I expected tho, and totally worth it all! Pretty sexy huh? If you wanna watch it again, right click and press ‘Play’.
And yes! I am for hire!
Thanks for reading!

Psshhtt… Ahhh!
There is NOTHING like a cold beer on a hot day – or after a hot day. You could offer me anything on these kind of days, but I’m still gonna take the beer. Go on, think of something I might like… For example, a pile of naked chicks… I mean a literal pile… Now, that’s just being silly… Now offer me something that’s actually feasible and as easy as pulling a bottle out of a fridge… Go on! Think of something! … That’s what I thought!
Speaking of beer… check this out!
This was the result of my 21st birthday bash thingy! It was pretty good – I enjoyed myself which is all that matters really. I hope that those who came along also had a good time. I also hope that if I forgot to invite anyone I’m very sorry – but it’s just so hard to remember everyone. Anyways, I’ve put up a few pics from the party in the Image Gallery so check them out!
Last night I went to a gig where ‘Burnouts for God’ were playing – they went off! It was great! They had to play the first set which is never easy, but the second set they played later on in the night they were a lot more confident and were fantastic! Here’s a sneak preview of them playing and my fantastic photography skills!
Well done guys! Keep at it!
Well, that’s it from me for the moment… I’ve got a few things to rant about but i’ll leave that for a bit later on…
Remember the ladies love it!
