Open your eyes

Zeitgeist, the movie

So I was up ridiculously late (for a weeknight, anyway) watching Zeitgeist. It was released some three months ago (?) and appears to have already made its rounds, so yes, I jumped on this one a bit late.

In short, I recommend you watch it.

I'll say that there are a few things about this film that are a bit sketchy. Many of the sources are books/articles/etc. that directly support the points they are trying to prove, meaning it's not original research. The presentation of the film is done in such a way that it manipulates images, quotes, and audio clips to make as much as a impact as possible. I'm not faulting the filmmakers for this, but this might be enough to turn some people off to the entire film.

I still recommend you watch it, though.

I do not recommend you take everything in the film as gospel. I do recommend you see it for what it is...a different perspective. They did their research and drew their own conclusions (they being the filmmakers) and perhaps we should do ours. If anything, this film is telling us that blind faith, whether it be in religion, government, or the media, can be damaging and that maybe we should be thinking for ourselves instead of allowing ourselves to be tubefed (cue Tubefed here...that song was stuck in my head for a good 50% of the film).

Okay. Off my soapbox.

So...if you have time...

Zeitgeist the movie can be accessed here. And when they say movie, they mean movie. It's nearly 2 hours long, so get comfortable.

In other news, my tear duct is all swollen. I think I got makeup in it or something.

oh and by the by...

i determined the color value for my links by opening the image in gimp, getting the rgb value of the green, and translating into hex myself (all in my head, no pen and paper).

why am i so awesome.

Fairytale

Once upon a time in a magical faraway land called Santa Ana I had a boyfriend who was willing to change my oil for me. So when the magical time came, I bought the magical oil and he changed for me as he had promised. And I was magically happy. And then he told me he was never going to do it again because my magical car was too low.

Which is why I don't miss him at all.

The end

(I'm kidding. There are a lot of reasons why I don't miss him and him not wanting to change my oil probably isn't one of them.)

(I don't really know why I'm blogging about this.)

The end (for real)

Konbanwa Keri-san! I'm between projects in my graphics class, thought I'd make a little fanart for your site. It was always weird to me that you didn't theme it green! Anyway, enjoy.

Why thank you Kris!

I think the last time I had a truly green layout was back in high school...so I suppose it's about time I had another!

Have you fulfilled any of your childhood dreams?

I was at the Coffee Bean with my coworkers after lunch one day last week when I happened to look up and see their "Question of the Week" written on a chalkboard. At some other point during the week I had dug up my high school blog archives for the hungry coworker and read some of my old entries while I was at it. Came across this little snippet at the end of one of my entries:

Complete financial independence. That is my dream.

And that was me, freshly seventeen. So modest, but it meant so much to me at the time.

What were your dreams?

Saturday

My hair has not been this short since elementary school. I think it's just a smidge shorter than it was after that little hair fiasco in late 2004.

Am at work now but I think I'm going to be heading out soon.
