A Picture Share!

Pikes Peak off in the distance. Its nice seeing it white again. Sorry for the weird angle... I was driving. More later.

A Picture Share!

Just A Test. this Was at Freebirds in Austin. i've always Thought Lady Liberty Could Be A Biker-chick

DVDs, DVDs and more DVDs

Not sure why i can't post via email right now, so back into the blogger interface to paste this into the editor... next... pblogging!

think Angela and I need to enter some sort of Home Theatre 12 Step
group... we can't seem to stop finding things that we want to add to
the collection. Between Star Wars, THX1138 and the overflowing
no-cover bins of DVDs at the Movie Trading Company, we've added more
discs lately than we really have the time to watch right now. We were
in San Antonio last week for a wedding and stopped to see friends in
Austin while on the way. Move Trading Company was having their grand
opening, so we stopped by to see what they had. Here's what we ended
up walking out with...

Whale Rider
Bend It Like Beckham
Leon:The Professional
The Rookie
Hulk
League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Bruce Almighty
and two others that I can't think of the name of right off the top of
my head...

then, yesterday night we picked up
Master and Commander
Cabin Fever
an independant William H Macy movie that Angela wanted to see
and once again, I can't think of the fourth movie.

but Best Buy also had a bunch of 2 for 15 DVDs which let me pick up
Undercover Brother and Chinatown (which we plan on showing at Film
Society at some point, so it made sense to pay as little as possible
for it).

Anyway, so the bottom line is that we're movie geeks through and
through. Once it's cold enough, I'll be watching movies while riding
the bike trainer. It's a good life.

blah. back to editing. I'll have some more to write later, but that's
it for now.

I still have thoughts on the last couple of Oddcouplings we've done,
and I want to start formulating some thoughts on City of God, which if
you're in Colorado Springs this Friday, you should really come see.
CSFS meets at 7:00 at Vanguard Church on North Academy behind Gunther
Toodys and it's FREE! So come out and geek out over movies with us.

Film Society

just finished up the new email for the film society. I don't know that
I'm completely happy with it, but I think it might work a LITTLE
better than the old version. We'll see though. In the meantime, I have
to be at a meeting at 6am so it's off to bed for me so that I can get
a QUALITY 4 hours. MMMMM

Things that drive me batty...

two things have to be added to the list of things that just completely
drive me batty today.

#1... people who hear something I say completely differently than the
way I say it, agree and then upon clarification from me, agree again
and say that that's what they were agreeing with as they state what
they thought they heard the first time again.

#2... programming directors who don't air the correct program that you
took the time to drop ship to them with Saturday delivery with
explicit writing on the envelop that say it's for air on Monday. Why
go through the hassle and the expense of getting something to them if
they're not going to run it. Blah.

I rode a little over 40 miles this weekend and it felt pretty good.
Saturday I went out riding with my friends Russel and Cody. I usually
don't ride with Cody because he's one of those scrawny guys that
climbs hills like a Mountain Goat. Anyway, Cody decided he's going to
invite his friend Danny to ride with us. Danny's
a nice guy, but Danny's also one of the best riders in the state.

I've dubbed the ride "Punish the fat man" for the fat man (me) was
severely punished as we did a few thousand feet worth of climbing. The
flats? I'm fine. The hills? sucking wind. Of course, I didn't realize
at
first that I was climbing one of the main climbs in my big ring up
front... but it was still a lesson in humbleness.

Sunday I was excited about going riding with the cycling club, but for
some reason I completely spaced out what time the ride was and arrived
an hour early to (unsurprisingly given it was an hour early) not find
anyone there. So, thinking the ride had been cancelled, I rode off on
my own and climbed through Garden of the Gods for the second time in
two days. This time, knowing what the climb was like, I was able to
pace myself a bit more and not stop nearly as much. Of course, I
wasn't chasing after some pro cyclist either.

But anyway, back to editing, which lately seems to be what my
existence at work is. I do love my job though.
