Excitement…Building

One more day left. We have students until the 23rd.

People actually want to play the Kung Fu zombies game.

I made $8.95 on Google ads today.

My brother’s on PBS at 11pm tonight.

I just figured out that I can highlight a selection and hit Alt + a letter to do the text formatting.

Pain…Suffering…Lavagirl

I write this under duress, having sat with the Boatmakers (not the Stonecutters) and watched Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
Villains! Villains!
I usually don’t hoo hoo a movie unless I’m morally opposed to it. (Even then, it still might be filmed well.)
This was painful. It was originally in 3D, so baddies, electrical cords, and even drool fly at the screen. Everyone would point to something off camera, right at the audience. Robert Rodriguez wrote it, produced it, even composed the music. He’s the guy that made Spy Kids. Lavapainful: The Movie is like 2 hours of just The Floop stuff and Thumb-Thumbs (because I know you’ve seen Spy Kids) in bright, fluorescent colors. Colors that clash. Colors that grate against your eyes like painful grating-things. My brain actually hurts. It’s like I spent the entire time on the Internet and only made one hyperlink. It’s like when I watch the WB.
I would like to say that I feel bad for George Lopez, but yeah, he’s not Antonio Banderas. He’s not even Cheech Marin. I’m sure that he’s a nice guy and all, but when you spend the majority of the movie as a talking TV with electricity for arms and the other parts as a foppish schoolteacher, it’s….yeah. And then they tried to make it meaningful. And I think David Arquette was getting divorced, but then he got sucked into a tornado.
I think Robert Rodriguez is a 3 year-old. (This is the guy that made Desperado and Sin City? I think not.)
So…I hear it was painful to watch in the original 3D. It was also painful to watch in the comfort of someone’s living room. “…but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner…”

I’m going to go lie down.

Dreamweaver…at least entertain me through the niiight

I’m figuring out Dreamweaver so that the In-Law Films official business site does not look so…FrontPage-ish. I can just see that Microsoft Stickguy shaking his fist.

To get a taste of the experiment, check out the fangled Intelligent Humourz 2.0.

On the topic of 2.0…
I finally got the lights up on Wednesday. A week previous I had put up three strands on the front of the roof.
Always check to make sure the lights work before you make a lot of staples.
Especially check the lights if you are working at 8:40 at night.

Unknowing/Knowing

Unknowing:
What is up with the Booyor site? I find your lack of updates disturbing.

Knowing:
December 9, the last day of my master’s classes for this semester, is a very good day.
Site updates in Macromedia Dreamweaver are on the way. Booyor Goes Country (with pictures!) will be coming online soon.

Unknowing:
A presentation that I had worked on at school until 6:40pm last night got bumped from this morning’s faculty meeting. The 5-minute presentation before mine (about removing elitist notions from high school and enrolling more students in the honors program, whether they qualify or not) took 33 minutes. This is all before school, mind you.

Knowing:
My family will never disappoint me.

A more serious note…

Unknowing about the Future:
Abby, a 7 year-old girl in our church, died of a rare form of cancer today. (You can read her family’s blog here.) I had gotten an e-mail today that Abby was not doing well. I was ready to come home and ask you to pray for her and I was going to go to Neighborhood Group pumped up to pray with others. This especially affects us because two of the girls in our group were really good friends of Abby.

Knowing the Future:
I would be willing to bet everything that she is dancing with Jesus, adopted princess that she is.
The family still needs your prayers, as well as anyone who reads their blog. God is still good, in the truest sense of the word.
My wife is an amazing woman. As the church school administrator, she’s the one who has to tell the Sunday school teachers as well as talk to the kids about it.

Listening to “Breakfast” by The Newsboys on the radio driving home today will make it tougher to see the road.
Good.
