The Dark Knight



So last night Nick and I went to see The Dark Knight, and i gotta say, WOW!. What an amazing work done by Nolan and comapany. Ledger did a remarkable job of truly capturing the Joke from the comics, a manaical murdering madman. I must recommend you go and see it on IMAX the cityscapes that are presented make you feel like your actually in a helicopter riding over the city.
The only thing im unsure about is the Harvey Dent thing, two face was presented quite grotesquely and i actually liked it, but kinda sad on how Dent was protrayed by Eckhardt, just a bit bland i thought. Dent was always just a bit more passionate and fiery.
This is the best Batman ever!!! and thats saying alot for people who know me, cuz i think the first batman by Burton was the best. Heath truly trumps Nicholson on this one, and i hope he at least gets a nomination for the role. And yes i think he would be getting this attention if he was still alive.
I cant wait to see what happens in the next movie, would love to see what character they bring to this gritty portrayal of batman.
On a side note the trailer for Watchmen was with batman, and i dont know much about this comic, but i intend to find out, it just looks absolutely amazing and i cant wait to see it.
GO SEE DARK KNIGHT!

On another side note Nick got another gig with the SF Symphony. I am so proud of him, im hoping to be able to go and hear him play this time. He is also auditioning for the Marin Symphony. I have a bassoon superstar as a boyfriend. woohoo

the Iphone of Dread


Greeting all you out there in cyber land. been a while since ive posted, but now i can post that i have finally gotten my Iphone 3g. Ive got to say that i love it, love it, love it, love it. Although getting it was quite the nightmare, which im sure i wasnt the only one to bitch about it.
So my neighbor Diana and i got up early friday morning to head to the Apple store to pick up our shiny new phones. The line was innocuous enough we met some fellow geeks in line and had a good time. After almost 4 hours in line we finally got into the apple store only to be told that i couldnt get my phone there, because my account was a corporate account and i had to go to the att store. I was supremely pissed and felt like closing my account at the time, but i wanted this damn phone. Diana was able to get her phone, but the girl setting her up, dropped it on the floor, causing its first ding, and told her that dropping it was not covered in the warranty.
So we went to the att store at around noon to get me a phone, alas they were sold out and was told that i HAD to come to the att store to get my phone. My final words were CUNT!!!
The next day, saturday, i got up early and got in line at the att store, all went so smoothly, i was the 18th person in line and was in the store a total of 5 minutes. So now i have my phone, and i gotta say its sooooo worth the crap i went through. Its taking me some time to get used to the typing on it, but its so intuitive and just feels great. I drank the punch and joined the apple iphone brigade.

Anyone want some Punch? hehehe
