I *heart* Wall•E

For those of you who haven't yet seen Wall•E (and for those of you who don't know what that is I feel sorry for you)... you should know that it's amazing. And you're missing out every second you go on without seeing it.

Let's be honest... I'm slightly biased. I love Apple. Steve Jobs is the CEO of Apple. Steve Jobs founded Pixar. Pixar made Wall•E. Although technically Disney now owns Pixar, but they still make wonderful things, apparently. The point is, I can see how you would say the only reason I love the movie so much is because of my bias, and I'm here to tell you you're incorrect.

It is, seriously, one of the cutest movies EVER. The amount of emotion and character they bring out of that little robot is amazing. Even more amazing is the lack of dialogue - which is only present for a small portion of the film when the humans are speaking. Of course, the story is focused on the robots, so we don't really see or hear the humans that often, thank God.

I've seen it twice this opening weekend, if that gives you a clearer picture of how much I loved it, and I nearly cried both times. Words can not express how I felt during this movie. Maybe that's not true... but I don't really want to explain what this movie made me feel because that's personal and I don't owe you anything!

Change IS Good!

For some reason, I'm really, really enjoying this day. I don't know why... but it's been really great.

For the past two weeks I've been totally stressed out at work, disappointed in other areas of life, and in an all-around funk. Or at least that's how it felt from my end... I know I complained about my work situation lately, but I don't think anyone really knew I was in a funk in general. Well now you do.

But for some reason today is different. It started the same way: waking up after a painstakingly short 4 hours of sleep. Then it was off to my chiropractor for an adjustment and a massage... and I think that's where everything started to change. The adjustment felt great, and then I had an nice hour-long massage, and the masseur and I had the most wonderful conversation!

Then it was off to work, which I usually dread (or at least I have for the past 2 weeks), but since I had such a good start I was in an unusually delightful mood. Maybe it's because I'm seeing Wanted tonight? Maybe. Maybe you should shut the hell up!

When I got to work it was just... nice. I didn't get stressed out, even though there are shitpiles of work to accomplish. The receptionist and I had fun conversations, my boss and I bitched about our web hosting service, I got a bunch of things done from my to-do list, and then my boss bought me lunch! Lovely!!!

Anyway I just felt the need to write about that and gloat a little. ALSO, I downloaded Firefox 3 today and I have to say... I'm impressed. It's quite enjoyable. I think I still prefer Safari but I need to compare them a little more. Yes, yes, I'm a nerd. Well you're a whore. Let's stop pointing fingers and just accept each other.

Changing my blogs

I haven't written in my blogs in a really long time. Things are going to change. I'm serious this time.

I haven't written an entry since February, and this is only the second one of 2008. Insane! I blame laziness. My laziness. You see... my website has been under construction for over a year. Maybe two. Perhaps even three. Look I don't keep track of that crap, which is why I haven't made a point of updating it properly.

Basically I decided to revamp the entire site, which I am now ACTUALLY in the process of doing. Anyway the point is you should be prepared for many, many upcoming changes.  So that's enough of that.

By now you're probably thinking... "Why the f-bomb is Justin writing another blog entry at 1:30 in the morning?" Well I'm back to my old habits, sirs and madams, and I'll tell you right now... it's amazing. On another note... my friend Niki from high school is coming to LA this weekend!!

I did get to see her recently when I was home, however that was the first in a very long time. As you can imagine, I'm pee-all-over-the-floor excited. "Isn't that what dogs do?" Yes. "Shouldn't you be peeing in your pants instead?" Probably. But riddle me this... would you rather clean the floor, or clean your pants and have to wear them again?

That's what I thought.

Besides Niki's impending arrival, I am also SUPER excited about a free screening I'm seeing tomorrow of Wanted. Awesome!!! Myself and a few other friends are going, and it's going to be fabulous and wonderful. Sunshine and butterflies! I'll let you know how it is.

For now, I'm off to bed... have a lovely night!
