Yurkos song of the day: Slow Hands-
by Interpol"The Fourth Dimension is just one big crazy do not enter clambake jungle of weirdity -- and how does it work? Never mind!"
Another post, trying to stick with the whole relativly regular posts such and so forth. Right in the thick of reading week, and boy is it nice. Mostly due to the much needed sleep on a good bed and the availablility of good food. I can do without the massive and grotesque amount of work i have to do (2 days in and its still not done, hooray procrastination!) but meh better than rez.
Hopefully today's quote isnt a repeat because well its just so absurd that of course i enjoy it immensly. I was hoping that by now i would be able to start putting up quotes from "The Deeper Meaning of Liff" but sadly i forgot to order it in at chapters and its something im going to have to do this week. Great song today by a great group, then again every song ive put up I have felt that way. Regardless download it somewhere and take a listen.
Not a great deal to discuss on this post, life has for the most part been rather mundane as of late. Due to the cold up in Edmonton/midterms i barely did anything at all while i was up there. Went to a friends house party on saturday which i can happily declare is 3 hours of my life i would gladly want back. Man oh man i have never been at a more boring party...ever! Well unless you enjoy sitting on a couch watching a muted skiing video while everyone else around you drinks and socialises because they all know each other already. Thats not saying i didnt try to meet people and socialise (pretty sure ive spelt that wrong twice) because i did but eventually it got to that point where you realise your never really gonna click with everyone else, followed by the why am i still here feeling and then the its nice to be driving home. Good times...goood times
At least sunday made for a better evening, even though saturday was pretty easy to top. Hung out with some old friends from highschool (aka victor, jenn and janelle) plus janelles boyfriend and rob followed by seeing Constantine. Now even though i am appearantly in the vast majority on this one I actually enjoyed the movie, quite a bit. First off the bat i thought that from a technical standpoint it was a very well made movie. Had a very stylish feel too it, CGI was pretty darn good and for me at least it made it easier to buy into the whole premise. Now granted its definetly not a film for everyone. If you dont have even a passing interest in the pseudo-occult, fantasy or what this film basically is comic book style fiction its very easy to be put off. I did find the idea put out in a way so that its realistic within its own world far better than other films of the same type. Keanu was serious when it was needed, but was at times the good old sarcastic wise-cracking action hero you would expect (The sequence when he fingers the devil near the end and the "should i take all my clothes off" scene were classic). Yet like i said it is definetly a film that requires the right state of mind and hey as far as somewhat mindless action flicks go it gets a thumbs up in my books. Plus the fact that the film far surpassed the last two matrix films which automatically makes it more worth that 11 bucks. There is no doubt it was a comic book movie although a far more mature one and hey if they make a sequal i think ill be one of the few who go and see it. (and hey getting to see the batman begins trailer was an added bonus as well :P {yeah yeah jenn like i said im a loser, pretty big one at that})
So yeah thats enough out of me i think for one day. As due to complaints i re-added the blogger comments system to suppliment the haloscan one if anyone has any problems with it. I must say they have made some good improvements to the system, mostly that it now comes out in its own window much like haloscan (or at least it should, who knows if it will work as promised) plus if your a blogger member it shows your profile picture etc. Kinda nifty and i hope at least one person uses it because it took a bit of work to get it going with my template.
Till Next, Ramble
The Amazing, Boring Yurko

ook so apparently since u've been telling me for the past few days, i commented in the commenting system thing. so i guess i'll just add on to my last one...
lol i don't get ur quote. i hope its from a book where it has context....or i really need to be improving my intellegence somehow.
oh what! i totally new this whole "dictionary of words of life" or something, wasn't true! that is, of course, if your talking about that one that im making fun of you...of....chapters is such a gong show when it comes to books tho. it'll say they have tons of one ook in stock, so i go to get it and they have none! and no one there knows whats going on cuz they're all strung out on caffine high school students or 40 year olds that have been at their job for waaay to long. i love chapters tho, i could spend hours there.
i know how u feel about the party. i've been to a few too many in my life time. thats why i just don't go out anymore....sad, but true apparently.
p.s., theres gunna be a movie about all the books u read before? what? i guess i'll just have to go check out the link. damn u and hollywood for ur need-to-know-basis! and bollywood
