Yup, its bean 5 years, I can't beleive that that much time has passed, well, 5 years and 3 days, but who's counting.. no not since I started my blog, I know it probably feels like that especially with how inspired my blogs have bean lately, but its bean 5 years since I got married. yup.. I'm getting old.. I actually had a nice day, it was pretty quiet, I did manage to work some on my MIDI studio, got rid of the awful noise comming from my computer and I'm still not completely sure how I did it so I'm not holding my breath just yet.. and then we went to an early afternoon showing of Hairspray the Musical.. I will say it was much better then Susical the Musical but I thought that the story got drowned out by music that while it was alot of fun, wasn't inspired...but of course they were trying to make you think of all the great old motown music from the 1960s and trying to get that feel without actually paying the rights for the songs which would have bean out of place anyway since the lyrics had to fit the scene and drive it into the next scene. I think this musical would have bean better served if they had cut out about 2 numbers and added more dialog. The story is basically a good one, but when you have a song every 2 minutes, sometimes the story gets lost and put second to the music and they should be equals. On that same note of good but not great, sunday night I went out and saw Hidalgo the story of a man and his love for his whores.. I mean horse.. sorry that viagra e-mail we all just recieved and will recieve again in 22.3 seconds was in my head. anyway, Hidalgo is about a guy who raced horses in the late 1800s and ended up going to the middle east and racing across the desert and winning and learning so much about himself and how much he loves horses and doesn't mind that much seeing his own native american race being wiped out, but does manage to save some horses at the end.. ok.. I'm being cynical, the movie was good, it was a feel good movie and that was about that, 2 days after seeing it, the feel good feeling has faded and in a week or two I will find myself at the theater thinking I haven't seen that one yet because it was forgetable.
Music Listened to: Thou Shalt Not, Love and Rockets (Rumor has it they might be re-uniting for a tour very soon, I'm so happy I could pee) Run Lola Run soundtrack, American Psycho soundtrack, Stigmata Soundtrack.. yes, lots O soundtracks today.
Food Eaten: Home Made Macaroni and cheese and Veggie dogs (morning star if you were wondering)
Moral of the Day: When you have an illuminating idea discuss it with a good confidant but to share it with too many.
