Oliver & Company

Lately in my class we’ve been watching old school movies. when i say old school, i mean old school classic movies. The past week we’ve watched Alfred Hitchcocks Psycho (1960), Spartacus (1960) featuring Kirk Douglas, and the silent film,The Kid (1921) by Charlie Chaplin. im so eye opened from watching these films. i just love the old look to films. im also intrigued by the whole 50’s – 60’s getup the women would wear back in the days. i think its super hot. plus i seriously cant believe that everyone used to drive those old school 1950’s chevy’s back in the day with the white side wall tires. its so rare that you are lucky to see one. i would love to have one.

but i think ive got this itch for old classical movies now. thanks to netflix’s selection, i might be sticking with them, instead of switching to blockbuster. also netflix offers a bunch of movies on bluray for my ps3!

Psycho (1960)

This is the family of Janet Leigh, the known actress for her role in psycho. shes the mom of jamie lee curtis.

i got mail from the city for my speeding ticket last month. the damage = $337 with traffic school. i missed traffic school from my last ticket so i will be SURE to do it this time a round.

its a three day weekend coming up followed by another busy week. along with the three day weekend, theres a House of Blues club event on sunday, first sofball game on tuesday, first basketball game on wed, and ASR/AGENDA trade show the following fri-sun, and with the Chargers season opener on the 9th. oh and yeh, the next season of Heroes starts up the 24th i think.

back to class…

just watched two more slient movies by two other greats… Buster Keaton & Harold Lloyd.

K, thats all, enjoy your long drunk weekend!

Early early good morning.

I slept a little earlier last night and thats why ive been up since maybe 130am. i just completed watching superbad again on tvlinks. tvlinks is the best place to watch movies/tv shows when you could care less about the quality.

this month has been a rough one, not only for me but for my friends. fights, deaths (3 in 1 week), break ups, bad days, late nights. i hope september is a good one. that why ive been saying that everyone needs a chill pill til the end of the month. yes its fucking hot but just chillax. sit in your room and minimize your body movements so u dont sweat. i sweat just walking up my stairs.

Ive been lacking with my blog updates daily now because of my new class. Im in my last 25 day of class, well, 22 now. Its a screen writing class that teaches you how to write a story and the structure of putting it on paper. We have a lecture everyday and ive been addicted to my morning cola caffine intake. we also watch movies in class. As for yesterday we watched Witness with Harrison Ford. It was pretty good i admit. i hate this class. but im so over school right now that i just want to get it over with the quickest way i can.

I had a flat tire last week. I finally picked up new tires! $600+ for 4 tires. goodness. my truck finally has a smooth ride again! I also got new headlight bulbs and $70 air filter.

chargers game is thursday. its gonna be whack. especially when micheal turner is hurt. well pretty much, its not worth going to just to watch 1st series of starters. hell, if i were norv turner, i wouldnt play anyone.

when i graduate, i want to get out of here for a week or two. maybe as a grad present, my parents can send me to japan. i need to be culturized again. vince is over there, so thats not a problem.

i wanted a Honda Ruckus scooter to ride to work and such. my mom and dad shot down my idea. my mom brought me to her office to say that if i ever got one she would cry.

ive been into this whole girl pop music thing lately. dont ask me why. dont know what im talking about? heres the list…

1. fergie – girls dont cry
2. pink – who knew
3. a fine frenzy – almost lovers
4. lily allen – LDN
5. lily allen – smile

favorite get my feet movin song at the moment…

1. soulja boy – crank that

i swear that since school started, the street have been crazy ridiculous busy. it gets annoying. AND now that everyone know that the back road to RB is now open, the rush hour times are the worst! its almost like how the back road to carmel valley just opened. i hate it.

i think i weigh 175 lbs now. after the gym i weighed myself and it said 178, however i had a full liter of water. i think my body is on a roll and im at the prime at losing weight. so my workouts have been harder and longer. since my new years resolution i list maybe 15-20 lbs. i touched 195lbs and vowed to never touch 200.

im done being random.

i just had a crazy weekend.

i spent a full tank of gas ($55) on two days just driving within PQ, Mira Mesa, & Poway. But my sisters party was a blast. fully catered dinner, open bar, and the astro jump that the kids spoiled. i would like to thank my friends for coming to the party and i hope everyone enjoyed it, despite my party foul at the end.

all the aunties and uncles congratulated me on my awesome dancing with the hula girls. i originally had leo on the list to come up but since steve was egging me on, his name got called out on stage.

one of the bad things about being dj at a fam party is all the elders want old music. i was so over. i had a ghetto setup with my computer and had to use the Magic Mic (karaoke) as a microphone and switch the cords every time they needed to say something. thanks to ron for his dj equipment.

I just realized that i shouldve had my grad party along with my sisters because im graduating next month. i couldve made some money. i guess i will make sure i have a small one when time comes around.

so the next day, we had lunch at my aunts house and the astro jump was still there! unfortunately i was by myself. this was bigger than last time and had a much cooler slide. it was all jungled out. too bad those little rodents made the parentals turn it off. i also blame my party foul at the end to those rodents. they were playing with that bonfire with sticks an such only to freak my parents out when we were chillin. i guess, a fire log is equivalent to 10 8-year olds with 3 foot tree branches burning in the fire and walking around with them. fact: its true eucalyptus trees do burn easily.

The first ones of the friends to the party…

let me zip through what i did this weekend:

work. busters beach house. aprils. work. hoey fam. tio leos flautas. ps3. blueballz. zion short ribs. pigs in a blanket. beringer white zinfadel. a hit. beer pong. flip cup. beer into water. drench in ice water. regurgitation. locked keys in car.

with the help of kimtan bui, toe-knee nguyen, and victorynightlife.com, i managed to pick up a ps3. i couldnt resist the release of madden and needed one for myself and none of this, wait for tk to get home then i can come over and play. blu-ray is freaken dope.

My second to last class of my life is almost done. im making my own HP commercial. i realized i can use my walls as my green screen. so i did. so i just pushed things aside and made my room 376 times more messy.

so this is what my composition of my project looks like. im working with a little 3d so i need a bunch of windows open so i can see different angles.

heres an example of what im trying to get at. it wont be as great but im trying. so you might want to check back tomorrow for the final cut.

i finally opened up a new youtube account. this is my first after effects project. this is the project i reference a few posts back. watch out for my next one though. its gonna be sick.
