<%image(20090217-kyle_xy.jpg|400|519|)%>

So I’m watching tonights Kyle XY and it ends, previews come on and the announcement says, “Kyle XY in its final episodes.” WTF??!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!! Kyle is a awesome and truly unique show, how can ABC family cancel it yet renew crap like Greek and Lincoln Heights that have been done already many times over. Matt Dallas and the entire cast of Kyle are great actors and to be prematurly canceled like many shows are, is unfair! DAMN YOU ABC FAMILY!!

Monthly Heath Picture Time

Here’s my monthly image of Heath Ledger. I think I’m going to pretend that he’s not dead, like all those who believe Elvis is alive… yeah, that’s what I’m going to do.

Overwhelmed with sadness…

Have you ever just been hit all of a sudden with a overwhelming feeling of sadness that you almost feel your soul hurt? Tonight I felt that way, actually morning, I’ve just not gone to bed yet. I usually don’t feel that way until March, and April, when he died. But I guess this year it’s come early because as I lay in bed watching a movie I just felt this wave of sadness come down on me. I’m never gonna be free of the pain.

ZillaMail

So about a month ago I set up email’s for my niece and nephew, whom are 7, and 10. I wanted to make sure they would get NO SPAM at all and found Zoobuh.com. It seemed great, they could only email and get email from the people the parent put on the list. Well I did not see that it was only free for a month TRIAL. Damn them. So now I spent the better part of the night searching for a alternative free one. I found after a looong search something that seem’s almost as good. Zilladog.com which you can create an email for your kid. You have to register with your info first, and then the next page asks for the username and password you give to your kid. Got more than one kid? Re-Register with your SAME INFO (THIS IS IMPORTANT THIS IS WHAT LINKS ALL YOUR KIDS TO YOUR PARENT CONTROL ACCOUNT), and then again enter their username and password on the next page. You’ll get an email with their info and with your parent info. Then you can login and set up their contact list. If you got more than one kid, set up all the email’s first and then use the Add Contact to all kids link under the Manage ki. You do not want to have to enter the same contacts multiple times. If you enter contacts this way and later add another kid, then you’ll have to manually add them for that kid, so make all the kids first. It’s a bit more complicated useface than the kids version of Zoobuh but it’s still simple enough for them to send and read email.

Another difference is that with Zilla they can send email to anyone they got an email address for by typing it in, BUT still they can only receive from those on the contact’s list so that’s not really a big problem.

Bride Wars

bridewars I just saw Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway?s new movie Bride Wars. The previews for this movie I first saw when I went to see Twilight and had been waiting for it to come out. I went today and while it had competition with ?Unborn,? it had a decent amount of people in the theater. Now I don?t know about ?Unborn”,? but Bride Wars got a audience applause after it ended. That?s got to count for something.

While It was a good flick and I would watch it again, I had some issues with it, so don?t read beyond if you do not want to be spoiled.

<%spoiler%>

Bride Wars is about 2 childhood best friends who from a young age dream about getting married in June at The Plaza. They both end up getting proposed to at the same time (not exact same time but within days), and then begin to plan their weddings. All is good at the start until a mix up with the wedding planner and their weddings end up booked on the same day. Well of course a bride can’t share their wedding day (as these two both do not like that option), so all hell ensues. Kate’s character Liv, and Anne’s character Emma begin a round of tricks, sabotoges, etc to ruin the others wedding. There is candy, tan lotion, a strip club, blue hair all involved and more. What I liked as well in this movie was the guys. Casted as Liv’s soon to be, Daniel who was Steve Howey who played Van on Reba, and Fletcher who was played by Chris Pratt who played Bright on Everwood as Emma’s soon to be.

Now the relationships with the couples seem genuine and really fit one another. So when we start to see Fletcher and Emma get into fights over her behavior it seems out of place for me. It was not the good relationship that seemed forced, but the bad part when they start to get into more arguments. There is also a seen where Emma and Nate (Liv’s brother) played by Brian Greenberge of One Tree Hill, meet on the streets and go rent a tux together you start to think… WTF? Its obvious that Nate likes her, and disturbingly you see that Emma likes him too. So with all the backstabing and fighting going on between the two for a precious wedding day you kind of go WTF is she doing all that then, if she seems to like Nate. I was dissapointed… in the end she does not marry Fletcher. Fast foward a year and she is meeting Liv (because they make up after a roll on the floor at the weddings), for lunch or something. The cheesiest ending ever… we find out they are both preggers… and not only that… DUE ON THE SAME DAY! Come on… we all like happy endings, but not stupid endings. Although these issues bother me, I would see this movie again, it is hilarious.

Some Updates on my life…

So I’ve been struggling this semester with my classes, one specific class has sort of sucked out all the enthusiasm for photography. I thought I had a plan, study photography at PCC and then try and transfer to ASU. I’m 24, in March I’ll be 25 and were will I be? In the same place. I feel shackled and lost. I’ve lost interest in most things I once enjoyed, designing websites, making graphics in Photoshop (which I have the new CS4 now), and of course photography. My pictures that I’ve taken this semester have mostly all been garbage. I’ve not been happy with any of my work. I did have a good shoot using the Portrait Studio at school with my 10 year old nephew as my model. It had been a long time since the last time I enjoyed shooting, so last night was a good night. I don’t know if I should continue or just get out of school and get or *try* and get a regular job somewhere… anywhere. I once thought I was a decent photographer, now I don’t even know if that’s what I want anymore.
