Brain Milkshakes...

So, it's been far too long since the last blog, and even though I don't have anything I necessarily need to say tonight, new content needs to happen, so...I'm just gonna take the contents of my brain, put 'em in a blender, hit frappe, and pour the resulting smoothie all over the place. Hope you enjoy.

-MONSTERS. This last week's Casting Of The Pod (check it out on iTunes) piqued my interest on the topic of monsters, specifically the "Montauk Monster." If you want to see something severely effed up, do a Google image search....blech.

-ROCK BAND. I have an unhealthy reliance on rhythm-based music video games. I've all but mastered guitar on Rock Band, and have been turning my attention toward the drums. Suffice it to say that if I took the time I spend on pretending to play music, and used that time to ACTUALLY LEARN TO PLAY A REAL INSTRUMENT, I'd be a world-famous musician of Hendrixian proportions. Oh well...

-SUMMER MOVIES. As of last week, I've seen a total of EIGHT films in theaters this summer. I'm pretty sure that's TWICE the amount of movies I've seen in the last two years put together. The real surprise is that I haven't been disappointed by a single one. The list, you say? All right.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Iron Man, Indiana Jones, Incredible Hulk, Wanted, Hellboy 2, Dark Knight, Pineapple Express...plus I really want to see Tropic Thunder before the summer's over. That's a ridiculous amount of movies, all of them ranging from good to awesome. Well done, Hollywood. You have almost renewed my faith in the corporate machine...

-CRAPPY AUGUST MOVIES. ...there's another side to the corporate machine, an UGLY side. There's a list there, too...House Bunny, Death Race, Mummy 3, Babylon A.D., College, and the worst transgressor of all, Disaster Movie...shudder... all these crappy movies have debuted in the last month. Other movies I could have put on this list (Traveling Pants, Mamma Mia) I can understand...they've got a target audience, and I'm okay with the fact that I'm not it. Just because it's not my cup of tea doesn't mean it sucks. But the movies on the list...aw man, there's no hell hot enough for them. This is why my faith in the corporate machine can never be truly saved.

-MENSTRUATION. Is it just me, or is it every woman in Eau Claire's period this week? Just a casual observation, but at the rate tampons and whatnot are being sold at the 'Greens this week, it seems like the whole dang town is on the rag. Then again, maybe we just have some good sales on feminine hygiene products this week.

And with that totally random thought, I end this completely pointless blog entry.

Love,
Nathan A. Libby.

Wow...so that menstration thing was totally not what I was expecting to hear from you, but yeah! There is some truth to that though! :-)

It was good to see you at church...you should make yourself more available to the public!! Sorry that I didn't talk -- the impatient brother was ready to get away!

Hope all is great! Miss seeing you around!
