New Site Coming Soon!

I should have a new website in the next month or so. I'm going to use my new found Photoshop skills and create an awesome website that will house some little programs I've written along with my resume. So when I go apply for jobs they can see I've only been a programmer for about a year, but they can go to my site and see all the awesome stuff I can do. I copied a nice layout from the tutorial, but I'm going to sit down and design an original layout for my new site. I'm pretty excited.

Stay classy, San Diego.

Movie Review Monday - Harry Potter Edition!

Well, I've seen it. What do I think of it? That's a complicated question. Well when compared to the book upon which it is based I'd have to say it was the most horrible, wretched piece of crap ever committed to film. Why? It had a bit of everything and explained almost nothing. I knew it would be like this. It seemed to be a two and a half hour advertisement for the book. You want depth of story and a bit more suspense and characterization? Then read the book. But if you want to see bits and pieces of the book come to life, then see the movie. In this way, I liked it a lot. The visual artistry shown in this movie is stunning. It really showed me what I've seen only in my imagination.

So I liked it for it's visualization of an awesome book, but hated it for the story. For instance, what was the deal with the reporter, Rita Skeeter? She was in it for like 30 seconds total. If they're not going to include her whole story line, she really doesn't contribute anything. I guess I'll know what she's for when I see her action figure. And Dobby gave Harry the gillyweed, not Neville. Oh I get it, they're lazy and don't want to animate him again. And Moody was a real friend to Harry. Harry trusted him and liked him a lot. When he turns out to be Crouch Jr., that's a real shock to Harry. In the movie, it's like, "Oh, look. That's not the real Moody. Oh well. No big deal."

Anyway, I'm just full of gripes because of the stuff they cut out and the unnecessary stuff they left in. I did like the movie though. I guess you had to be there.

Yeah, don't try to act like you didn't already know I was weird like that.

Back... by popular demand!

Well, it's been quite a while hasn't it? I thought none of my friends read this anymore! Plus, I think I ran out of things to write about. And then there's wedding plans and spending time with my beautiful fiancee. Thanks for your kind words Jeb. I hope I can live up to them and be a great husband. I know she'll make a wonderful, amazing wife.

Oh, and I think I forgot to pay my dues to the "We Hate Jeb Club" for this month. :)

Ok, so since Jeb is commenting and reading (which I appreciate!), and Clayton asked me why I haven't updated, and a mysterious character named "Daisy" (who must be extremely gorgeous, judging by her name) has visited recently, I suppose I'll get back to things around here. I think I'll review Harry Potter later on today. And if any of you have any suggestions about what I could write about and spread my views on, feel free to drop me an email.

So, in the meantime, feel free to be jealous of my mad photoshop skillz featured to the top right.
