livin' like a bug ain't easy
My most sweet and darling co-worker Maia made me the best mix cd I've gotten in a while. She put the home movie's Franz Kafka Rock Opera in with the mix. It's hysterical! Don't want no one steppin' on me, now I'm sympathizing with fleas! Livin' like a bug ain't easy!

I've been finding amazing DVD deals lately on some movies I've been wanting to own ($3.00 at BigLots and BOGO at DeepDiscount.com). Some recently viewed delights (old favorites and long desired watches)...

I HEART "WALL.E." I saw it last night and I want to go see it again!!! It is perhaps the best movie to come out this year. HANDS DOWN. It has a 97% fresh score on RottenTomatoes.com:
By Roger Ebert
Pixar’s “WALL•E” succeeds at being three things at once: an enthralling animated film, a visual wonderment and a decent science-fiction story. After “Kung Fu Panda,” I thought I had just about exhausted my emergency supply of childlike credulity, but here is a film, like “Finding Nemo,” that you can enjoy even if you’ve grown up. That it works largely without spoken dialogue is all the more astonishing; it can easily cross language barriers, which is all the better, considering that it tells a planetary story.
It is 700 years in the future. A city of skyscrapers rises up from the land. A closer view reveals that the skyscrapers are all constructed out of garbage, neatly compacted into squares or bales and piled on top of one another. In all the land, only one creature stirs. This is WALL•E, the last of the functioning solar-powered robots. He — the story leaves no doubt about gender — scoops up trash, shovels it into his belly, compresses it into a square and climbs on his tractor treads and heads up a winding road to the top of his latest skyscraper, to place it neatly on the pile...
The movie has a wonderful look. Like so many of the Pixar animated features, it finds a color palette that’s bright and cheerful, but not too pushy, and a tiny bit realistic at the same time. The drawing style is Comic Book Cool, as perfected in the funny comics more than in the superhero books: Everything has a stylistic twist to give it flair. And a lot of thought must have gone into the design of WALL•E, for whom I felt a curious affection... The movie draws on a tradition going back to the earliest days of Walt Disney, who reduced human expressions to their broadest components and found ways to translate them to animals, birds, bees, flowers, trains and everything else.
What’s more, I don’t think I’ve quite captured the film’s enchanting storytelling. Directed and co-written by Andrew Stanton, who wrote and directed “Finding Nemo,” it involves ideas, not simply mindless scenarios involving characters karate-kicking each other into high-angle shots. It involves a little work on the part of the audience, and a little thought, and might be especially stimulating to younger viewers. This story told in a different style and with a realistic look could have been a great science-fiction film. For that matter, maybe it is.
Note: The movie is preceded by “Presto,” a new Pixar short about a disagreement over a carrot between a magician and his rabbit.

sounds like: "69/96 GIRL MEETS CASSETTE" Cornelius
i re-vamped my design with something self produced. however, in my CSS-tweaking travels, i seem to have created this large space between the top of the browser and the beginning of the content and i can't figure out how to fix it. i have a feeling it might be a blogger bug, but who knows... do you?
in other news... i've been watching movies lately:

白虎野の娘
sounds like: "白虎野の娘" 平沢 進
Today I used the itunes' store.
The first (and hopefully only) MP3 I bought was "白虎野の娘" 平沢 進 ("The Girl in Byakkoya" by Hirasawa Susumu) only to find it as a free download here right after purchasing!
It's from the パプリカ soundtrack.
パプリカ Review from Vital Source Mag:
World cinema continues to cast its strange, ethereal light on the nature of human dreaming with Satoshi Kon’s Paprika. Based on a story by accomplished author Yasutaka Tsutsui, Paprika is a complex 90 minutes of reality-twisting visual phenomena. The story follows Dr. Atsuko Chiba – a conservative clinical psychologist who helps clients by entering their dreamscapes as a character named Paprika, a younger, more cheerful version of the adult Dr. Chiba. Aided by a rare, tiny iPod-like device called a DC-MINI, she opens up their repressed memories. When one of the precious devices goes missing, reality turns bizarre as the dream world begins to make incursions into the waking world.
