Oh The Cheese!

So when I was a young lad I, like many others, was a GI Joe fan. I watched the cartoon and the feature length animated films religiously. So naturally I was really excited to hear that there was going to be a live action film being make about the "Joes". I was excited until I saw the trailer. Seriously? It looked more corny than squirrel terds. The review confirmed my fears. Both new comers and old school fans agreed that this film was covered in cheese. To be honest, I forgot about the movie until I started looking for titles that I've missed in the theater and haven't bother to pick up. So my netflix que finally got around to G.I. Joe. I was actually excited to see it. I had forgotten what crap I was convinced it was. Well the film was a great reminder. Super-suits? Pulse Cannons? Nanobots? Its like they took every lame gimmick from Jackie Chan movie's and combined them into this one. I know I'm being harsh and there are some really neat parts. Snake eyes was probably the best part of the entire movie and he didn't have any lines... I am glad that they got "knowing is half the battle" in there. Oh the good 'ol days.

Oh well,

Cobra!

My Life, As Of Late...

Two weeks ago I ordered a pedal. I mentioned it in one of my earlier blogs, I thought I would have received it by last weekend, but alas, it did not come. I actually email the company (onenationelectronics) telling them that I didn't have what I ordered or a tracking number confirming they had even shipped it. I guess I just trust a company thats solely based on selling thing online, not just online, but over amazon. They have no independent internet store. Anyways, Three days after I email them asking for information or tracking number for my order (yesterday) I get an email saying they have shipping my item next day air. It arrived today. But the kicker is, it was shipped to my in-laws house because I use my wife's amazon account and we don't ship things to our apartment. Frustration!

On a much more positive note, I saw a movie. A old movie I guess, since we picked it up in the 5 dollar section at target. It is called Once, I've never heard of it., but I think it may have won some film festival awards or something. Basicly it's set in Ireland and this guy and girl musician meet. They become friends and whatnot, and then they want to record an album. So they guy a group of street musician the round out the band and they make a demo. Then the guy leaves for london, the girl stays in Dublin and the rest of the band or never heard from again. Kinda random, but the music in the feature is great. I think I'd enjoy the soundtrack more than the movie, but the recording studio scenes are neat and some of the line or clever. That with great music make the movie worth what we spent.

So Now I want to take one of the songs from the movie, "falling slowly", and record it. The last thing I recorded we me and Jen singing "Forever and Ever Amen", by good-ol Randy Travis. We slowed it down or corse and made it into a ballad, but it was really fun.
