the Unexpressed Advantage

Omelet

So last night I didn't have a lot going on, and after a couple of days of continually hearing about how Prince's performance at the Superbowl was so great, I decided that I'd watch it again during dinner.

I was pretty hungry. So I went to the kitchen to see what was up. I decided that even though it was dinner time, It was a omelet and waffles night.

But I really don't like Sufjan Stevens at all.

Everybody else loves him and I suppose I can understand why. He sort of has a greatful dead-ish-slash-fish-ish kind of sound that involves all kinds of wierd sounds on his M-1 Korg Keyboard.

For me that kind picasso-esque take on music, which attempts to trancend genre to create a genre-less form of music that somehow coheses into its own genre, feels bit lacking/wanting. I'm not 100% sure that I'm willing to call it music. ¹

Every time I hang out with Dave Lim (which now is only once a year during Christmas), He gets a hold of my ipod and I end up with all kinds of cool new music. I know you might think this isn't legal, but actually it is. I'm one of the proud 5 authorized computers on Dave's itunes account, which means its all legit. At least until I get bumped, and then I won't be able to play a serious amount of Hillsongs United and Fiona Apple. Would be bad news.

Hated:

1. Mike Tyson
2. Mentioning of Evander Holyfield similar bout
3. Stupid "everybody Jump" scene at the end
4. What happened to the Robot.
5. Steps (for racial stereotypical reasons)

Loved:

1. The Dog, "punchy"
2. The ESPN Sportscaster on the right (the young one) and all his comments
3. Rocky
4. Training Scene
5. Fight Scenes
6. The intensity of everything
7. Sports Commentary
8. The Son
9. The Girl
10. One Liners (laughed out loud, a lot).

Overall: 8-9/10 – Fantastic

People are asking about the Ayn Rand Book listed as the "Book I'm Currently Reading."

They want to know

a. Why is it taking so long, and
b. Why am I reading a book by Ayn Rand anyway.

Well the answer to number A is pretty simple. The book is really long. It's 700 + pages long, and not your typical Drew Barrymore / John Grisham adventure in the Presidential Office of Jack Ryan type of reading. It's pretty thick for a novel, lots of long descriptive paragraphs and character speeches that span for pages. So even though it's interesting, it's not necessarily always fun to read. I often put it down and find that I don't pick it up again for a week.
