world traveller
no…not me…at least not this summer. i’m jealous though. my mom is headed off to eastern europe on sunday. she’s doing a three week exploration of prague, vienna and hungary. she’s meeting up with a friend in toronto and then off to europe. i’m proud of her cause she’s not doing the usual group tour or guided tour. just her and her friend, a passport and a phrase book. i wish her all the best.
on a side note, have you ever tried explaining electronics to people who don’t use them? i loaned my digital camera to my mom to use on her trip. its a pretty easy to use canon, or so i thought. when you’ve never used a digital before its actually quite un-intuitive. maybe apple should get in on it…
chaos update
so its been almost two weeks since i left the girlfriend with a bathroom wrapped in plastic. what’s happened since? not much. finally found some time to do some work yesterday and after some initial worry that the shower floor would have to start over from scratch, it appears salvageable and is on its way.
however, further developments have conspired to delay other aspects of the bathroom such as important things like walls and ceilings…haha…
old school made new
you know how when you’re looking at old black and white pictures everything seems more nostalgic and rustic and old? is that because the subjects are old or that the lack of color seems antiquated?
well back before color, some mad russian figured out how to take color photographs but was never able to develop them in color. well now we can and the result is amazing. color pictures from the early 1900′s of russia that look like they were taken yesterday except its all old.

pirates of the carribean
i can’t believe how big this movies is. a month later and it finally got knocked off the top spot. $360 some odd million to date so far.
we arrived at the theater at a time that we thought was early for a month old movie. woops. while sitting there waiting, i read that there was a third movie. thank god for that tidbit. why? cause the movie leaves you hanging. and i hate that.
the movie itself was not bad. it was entertaining at the time but quickly forgotten. johnny depp was great, keira’s nice to look at. the story was a bit convoluted but there were some laugh out loud moments. three things i didn’t like though.
the first time through with the rolling in the cage was interesting. the second time on the wheel was just lame.
next, the davy jone’s crew, too ridiculous with the whole “part of the sea” vibe. its like the producers had a creature budget and couldn’t figure out how to spend it.
and lastly, the ending. but i guess it worked cause now i have to go see the other one. dirty marketing geniuses.
