Don't Forget Your Towel

So, I've been watching the trailer for the upcoming Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie for the past few weeks. I've been watching it none stop. It's kind of pathetic how in love I am with a trailer, but it's goddamn funny. The best trailer I've seen since, well, the teaser trailer for the Hitchhiker's Guide movie that came out a few months ago. I've never been this psyched about a movie since the Star Wars prequels were announced and we all know how that turned out... Oh wait, I actually like them prequels. Granted, they aren't as good as the original holy trilogy, but whatever, they are still fun movies that push the whole Star Wars mythology in more or less the right direction. Wait, I just remembered. I was way more psyched about the Lord of the Rings then I was about Star Wars.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is WAY better than the original Star Wars. Sorry Star Wars geeks. Tolkien is a better writer than Lucas. Jackson is a better director than Lucas. I'm way fatter than Lucas. Lucas loses 3-0. Do Something!

I got the West Wing Season 4 DVD's on Tuesday. Talk about a great show. Great writing, great acting, and great directing all wrapped up into 44 minutes per episode. Not to mention that Mary Louise Parker is in most of the episodes and she's hot. Plus she has a raspy, gravely voice that makes me cream my jeans. That's right, cream my jeans. Try getting that image out of your head.

I also bought Sideways on DVD. It came with a Wine Journal. I'm going to start buying super cheap wine and I'm going to start storing it and I'm going to actually use that journal. It's going to be my own little "Cheap Man's Wine Journal." It will be great. It might even turn into the beginning of a book that me and Russ wanted to write a few years back called "A Cheap Man's Guide to Wine." We were going to review cheap wines for cheap guys like us. That way, college kids can know what wine will give them the best buzz for under $10. I think it would be a great book to sell at a truck stop.

So, I just edited and uploaded about 200 pictures to some yahoo page. Talk about getting depressed. Pictures usually remind me of the good times I've had, but that inevitably leads me to realize that my life just isn't as good as it used to be and that I'll never have that much fun again. Maybe I'm just retarded, but pictures should ALWAYS make you feel better, not the other way around. Maybe that's why I threw out all of the pictures I have. Of course, I had to go and find all of them on a disc a few weeks ago and I figured I could finally make them look better and crop out all of the crap that didn't belong. It was kind of fun to actually get some use out of the Photoshop 6.0 that I didn't pay for. Definitely worth the price.

Well, I'm done for now. Sorry, no witty message.
