See King Kong---not as good as Heavenly Creatures or any of the Lord of the Rings but it is a popcorn flick that borders on a completly satisfying action/adventure/drama. You will most definitely find it in you to squirt some. Some of the dialogue is clunky (ship scenes) but once the star arrives onscreen then the film does not let up.

I should be working on Educational Psychology: I'm not. What I am doing is slammin' down a blog entry. My roomates, save for one, are musicians. We have a mini-studio set up and have taken it upon ourselves to record an album a month. An album is a cd with ten or more songs or 6 or more really long ones. October is finished. A slow jam disco song, a gangster farce, a few plaintive folk

"If Madagascar is in all ways a sunnier place than Walt Disney's matricidal canon, it is also a correspondingly less magical kingdom."I really don't have an opinion on this except for it reminds me of something one of my high school english teachers would say.

Matt's Review for Episode Three:It's a completely satisfying experience. Will you find yourself shook up a bit like you were with Return of the King; of course not. All the Star Wars films put together, according to me, are worth about one installment of Lord of the Rings. However, they aren't supposed to fight and they don't. The movie is just about all action; that's what allows the

Though school's gettin' to be a bit much, I did get to see Sin City: relentlessly entertaining (a little sick though.) Makes my short stories seem like confused Grandmother anecdotes about some old ritual they had for the matinee or something boring.

I love the movie "The Professional." My favorite scene is when Matilda and Leon are reunited in the police station and there's that shot where she hugs him and her shoes are a foot or so off the ground. That's probably one of my favorite images on film.

My roomate's cellular phone has a feature that allows one to literally record their own rings: his ring is me yelling in a cellular fashion. We were having "Saki Bombs" for the first time in our lives tonight and all of a sudden my annoying squeal alerts the whole solemn japanese bar that steve is getting a call.

Productive Day= Almost finished One Hundred Years of Solitude (I know my covenant companion, I'm shameless) Almost done with a short story. Finished a song for the open mic tommorow, then I should have another done in time for tuesday's open mic. Whoo wahhhhhh! Happy Blizzard College Kids!

I have this Old Spice Body Wash. I was reading it in the shower: "SLAMS AWAY DIRT AND ODOR...WON"T WASH AWAY TESTOSTERONE!" I am sure my laugh escaped my little shower room.

Headin' back tommorow night. Then perhaps a trip to the city Friday, then I intend to do some open mics this week. Cross-hairs on the Spring.

My friend has a blog and I found this entry to be worth copying and pasting here: This semester is going to be an assload of work. An assload can be most clearly defined visually in that movie The Last Castle, where that old guy who takes his shirt off a lot and in the end gets the bad guys in trouble, has to move a huge pile of rocks. The boss watches him strenuously move each large rock one

One week and then St. Cabrini and I have a spring semester full of dinner dates, necking, and shopping for a flat. I changed the name of my new concept Ep to "The Nicklemines Acting Troupe." So there's that. I've seen a handful of movies. A Very Long Engagement has been the most affecting of all my cinematic experiences this break, but I think Life Aquatic was my favorite (but I keep erasing

Winter break goes ever on and on. See Closer. See Life Aquatic. See the films I suggest. My new Ep will actually be about the fake town of Nickelmines: not Tangled Valley. Not many things rhyme in a nice way with Tangled Valley: Mangled Ballet (blue collar UK pronunciation), Bangle Rally, Dangle McNally.

I still need to finish that film which was interupted by a trip to see Oceans 12. I should have finished the first and waited a day or so, Oceans 12 is entertaining but has no substance. Breakfast at Tiffanys had both. Hmmm.

That is probably the name of my new Ep, and most likely, what a lot of other Matt Serfass singles will use as a thematic umbrella. My favorite song, which ties in with the title, is "My High School Got Willy Lowman Right." I was just thinking how notorious Miller's play is for getting butchered by High Schools. The song is from the perspective of an adult who played Willy Lowman: the song is

I had a delivery today in Maryland. The customer had one of those really formal british accents. The monocle kind. I have delivered cabinets to he and his wife's house before and both have been uncommonly personable. His wife died two months ago after a long, long marriage. Her art and pictures of her with the family were all over the house. I can't imagine having a house full of something

Wondering about the title. I have a class where they tell me I should get into advertising and I should attend a lecture every couple of thursdays so I can find out firsthand how awsome advertising is. I skip the lectures but I will later have to watch them on tape (I watch about five minutes of the 2 hr long tape) and then I have to write a two page reflection on the tape and its contents.

I saw After Sunset today. It's great. I have never read it but I imagine it's kind of like Waiting for Guidieaux (Gi-dough). It was the sequel to another film I haven't seen where these two people meet, have a meaningful one night stand, and then agree to see each other in six months. Well they don't meet and the movie picks up a couplo-years-later...then these two ex-lovers meet and talk

There are a lot of bizarre prospects for employment in the field of secondary education.. Individualized curricula, etc. Oo baby baby it's a wide wold,,,college is in the swing of things and I'm in the sling with things.

Also, I have thought of a writing excercise for people like matt serfass. Set up a villian and a hero. Do it in whatever way you want, here is my try? Matt makes a go at writing popular fiction: Chapter 1: “Paul spends a little time thinking. The Stranger spends a little of his time.” Paul could not help but to notice that this was the softest beach town he had ever wandered. Each

It's getting that time soon, when the seasonal books will call w/ mad immediacy and I'll have to go to the library to get books for, "pleasure reading." I found this in a file, I was so caught up in other stuff that I forgot to throw this one up on the blog, please read and delight in the act of reading. “A Town is a rather exclusive place” or “Rosy finds a shattered jewel.” Ace Gomez’s

“Wallace Flinch.” Somewhere out there in the universe of horror comics and snapshots of webbed swamp men lays a comic series about a planet with a sun. What earned this story its place amongst the sprinting Big Foots and the doctored saucers is how the sun works: what makes it tick. This particular sun which heats this particular planet runs on dragons. These dragons, unlike the spiteful and

Back at school. Since I'd rather bore you with details about my summer I am about to list some quotes or situations that come to mind: Graterful Dead Concert: Nothing but whiskey, other things, and a slice of pizza for three days. Speakers: "Show us the 'lost contact,' 'the eloctrocution,' then 'feed the pigeons.'" Me: "Both sides." SPeakers: "Of course."

I was just reading the intro to The Glass Menagerie and Tom says something along the lines that this is truth presented through the nice medium of memory (not nicer but rather...) Memory is the device that has always made parties a little bit zanier, a stumble a little bit more humiliating, a woman a little softer, its a natural embellisher.

I had this dream last night: There's this kid at my college who is super serious looking and is very opinionated about things he may not have the capacity to have a legitimate opinion on. Jaw-kim is the perscribed nick name. Well we at Cabrini, which was changed into some sort of barracks and we were all going to have to fight something odd, there is a musical coming up. We, out of spite,

they are going to make The Talisman into a film. Steven Speilsburg will be involved. I found this out a while ago but I just forgot to mention it amongst all the other stuff. I like when great books are turned into good movies. Only with the godfather and clockwork orange did I enjoy the movie more. Some people get all antsy when they see their favorite parts from harry potter and lord of

I'll tell you this much, I'm about to go straight up Carthage on the lawn! These last couple days have had too much to do with work and too little to do with lounging and frittering and other 'rico' verbs. Last night I got home around 2 in the morning from a customer who had a dog who bit but pretended to be nice when the owners were around and the owners wouldn't let us leave, he had to show

"Germany has just declared war on the Jones boys." The Last Crusade I am just about finished with a steinbeck novel entitled "burning bright." It's about the sex lives of circus folk (and I aint kiddin'.) It is good though, like all Steinbeck (save for The Winter of Our Discontent.)

Remember that post about Straubfest 2004 at Penn awhile back? Well I had plum near forgotten that I said something to a reporter, and now, I wish I had said something wittier or more profound. Perhaps I'll post it. "Matt. You know what's pretty fun? This beer pong." Dad (the morning after a shindig he attended.) Short story is almost dun.
