Leary Traveler

I've been despondent to those I shouldn't, and I've been responsive to those that care not. In deaf ears you sing, but in open hearts I ring. They told me time heals all wounds, so I'm hoping she can sew me up soon.

Justify your actions.

I recall seeing a random trailer for a movie starring ryan reynolds called buried. I didn't really remember anything about it when the movie was later brought to my attention by the massive amounts of critical praise it had amassed over the couple months between. I watched the trailer and was a lot more aware of the movie.

I noticed it wasn't playing in many places around me except in downtown seattle which is hard for me to get to and hard for me to justify paying parking ontop of the crazy movie prices.

Anyway, it was released on blu ray this week so I finally got a chance to see it and in HD. To not bullshit anymore with this review, I'll say it: the movie is fantastic. The entire movie takes place in a coffin in which paul (reynolds) wakes up in. How the fuck can you make cinematography cool with one location that's approx 6' long, 3' wide, 2'? I don't understand but they did. The fascinating ways they added lighting looked wonderful as well.

in any case, a movie starring one person, in one spot, for 100 minutes sounds like the epitome of boring, and honestly i thought i would pass out within 5 minutes of starting it. but by the 10 minute mark my eyes were wide and alert, i was sitting up on my couch and giving the movie 110% attention. i sat on the edge the entire film, up until the very last second. it was funny, frightening, dramatic, engrossing, and great. ryan reynolds performed easily one of if not the best performances of 2010. i found him more captivating than anything in the big films of 2010 - including the "shoe in" for jesse eisenburg in social network.

if he isnt given at the very least a nomination, it is a complete and total snub job by the academy. the movie is captivating and fantastic. see it. believe it.

leave the area immediately.

this song is just too good.

how's everyone enjoying the snow?

it snowed in 47 out of 48 of the continental United States last night. insane. i love snow but i hate it in my way at work. i had to walk about a mile into work from the bus. not the worst thing in the world but i would be happier and less tired if not.

ive been listening to a bootleg of Glassjaw at the Best Buy Theater 1/1/11 the last couple days. what a fantastically talented band with no bullshit. they are doing exceptionally creative and innovative things...and have been for the last 15 years. theres new songs on the bootleg, and the songs sound fantastic. i cant wait for the new record.

thanks again anyone and everyone who came out saturday to Studio 7. not our best performance, but we had fun and everyone else seemed to and thats whats important. we expressed ourselves and so did you, so im glad to have shared that. our next show is on January 29th, at Kirkland Teen Center, which i figured out is like 5 seconds from my work...too bad its a saturday. but you should all come out because its $1! one dollar. 100 pennies, 10 dimes. 20 nickels. IF YOU DONT HAVE A DOLLAR, COME FIND ME AND I MIGHT BE WILLING TO GIVE YOU ONE. but you gotta do things for me.....dirty, dirty things.

again, if you got twitter, follow us: @openfiretacoma or hit us up on facebook.com/openfiretacoma

thanks for reading this. you will be rewarded for doing so.
