Haircuts for treesCategory: garden
(E:Paul) took the buch at the corner of our house and shaped it into a tree by tying it together with twine. Combined with the hacking we did on the holly bush, the front of our hose is naked now. It's strange to see the stone underneath the windows now.

Bike therapyCategory: bikes
after being subjected to the worst movie ever, I had a therapeutic bike ride with (e:yesthatcasey) and (e:terry). We rode around for a while until we got to Tifft.
Later I went over to the bike jaunt quest post party at the coop house. I'll have to make the ride next year. The karaoke was pretty bad but the party was fun. I ended up hanging out with Claudia and Marcus at Don Tequila before I ran into (e:flacidness) at Cathode.

Never seeing a movie againCategory: movies
A couple weeks ago (yes I am behind) we went to the movies with (e:uchina) and (e:yesthatcasey) on a beautiful spring day. We went to see Mad Max at the Galleria.
I don't know why we didn't watch the trailer or look up what it was about before but its had me decide I am never going to the movies again.
The movie was freaking terrible. it had essentially no real plot. An hour and a half of disgusting macho car culture bullshit. All of it consisted of was screaming, shooting and explosions on trucks and engines that I assume were supposed to look awesome but seriously stressed me out. Not to mention that (e:Paul) and I noticed this weird islamophobic theme to the whole thing. An oppressive desert culture running off oil, with brainwashed soldiers blowing themselves up against freedom fighters for some promised afterlife? If that's not propaganda I don't know what is.
The worst part about the movie was just when you thought it was over, the characters double back and repeats the past 45 minutes. I want my $15 bucks back.

A movie so nice you had to post about it twice? ;-)
I find the islamophobic interpretation odd. I've seen at least two other people try to assign underlying messages to the movie, and every one has been completely different, which leads me to believe this is rooted in cognitive bias. I think when a movie or story defines very few elements, it allows the consumer to fill in the blanks as they wish but it doesn't lend to their validity. At least I didn't get this from the movie (nor the other interpretations I read).
Sorry you did not like it ..... I did not see the first two .... If one gets a message from it I take it more as a metaphor as the US being the bad guys and all that chaos we cause in the world cause we want oil .... I loved it and thought the guy playing guitar was great ... To me it was about the madness in the world and how everyone is crazy and kills each other over something that there is enough of and the powers that be .... Like how he only gave out a little bit of water .... But If action over the top things aren't your thing $15 IS A LOT did you see it in 3D ......
