Maybe it's not me and it's the camera? I haven't been posting because all my photos turn out like shit lately if I even bring my camera along. I can't believe this. All my photos are so fucking blurry!

Looks like I was too drunk to ride the train this morning. I heard some Starbucks employees chatting loudly, so I waltz over and asked them to speak up so I could actually hear everything. Then, on their way off the train, I offered them some Asian porn. Don't ask.

So the mother bear is in the promise land. So I bought an unlimited ride Metrocard and decided to ride the train once a day at least. I ended up seeing three movie screenings, with a 4th on the docket tomorrow.

Here are my short ass synopses:

P2: Don't see this garbage. Thrill ride my ass. The evildoer is just a lonely, sick jerk and the acting leaves much to be desired. It's almost too predictable at times.

Signal: See this shit only if you got a kick out of the latest Tarantino flick or 28 Days Later. It's that eerie. Three vignettes by three different directors progressing the same "story". I enjoyed it and you might too, honestly. Especially the part in the second vignette where the character, Jim Parsons, talks about his plans to just pee in a girl's butt for New Year's. The third and final vignette spoils the movie and is just plain bad. It's devoid of any clear vision and just runs with the gory theme without any personality. They saved the worst for last. Still, it'll be worth a dvd rental whenever the hell it's available in that format.

Juno: Not as great as it's being billed. But, if you go see the screening, you get a free t-shirt and that just can't be beat (except that by going to the Signal screening, you get a energy drink and a free shot at the "after party"). Outside of the freebie the movie has a superb story. The writing is suspect as the dialog is conspicuously contrived, but that's the appeal of the film. Apparently, Juno is a smart lipped precocious 16 year old who reminds me, vividly, of Darlene Connor of the Roseanne sitcom of the '80's. Her slick mouth, unlike Darlene's, endears her to everyone around her. I'm obsessed with her Converse in the movie too. I wish I could find them in stores or online somewhere. Anyway, the actress who plays Juno, Ellen Page, is just plain boss. She truly is gifted and gorgeous. Prototypical girl next door, tomboy, gorgeous. And funny. Especially whilst toting a jug of Sunny Delight. The movie itself is cute and sweet.

Today I'm feeling:
