In an attempt to avoid working in 2D...

...I'm doing this.

First of all, it's snowing. That is the shit. Period. Sentence fragment. Unfortunately, though the snow looks nice now and excites me about the potential of any classes being canceled, I know it will only begin to heavily snow/ice rain later tonight, which is supposed to clear up by 1 am, meaning that it's starting too late for us to miss anything, and ending too early to be a problem tomorrow.

I usually don't openly endorse politicians, but I really like this guy and I love the fact that he doesn't read from a script while he speaks to an audience.

This just popped into my head today that I should probably mention this movie: "Once." In case you've never heard of it, it's a modern-day musical set in Dublin, Ireland. It follows the story of a busker who plays his guitar on Grafton Street in the heart of Dublin. During the day, he plays songs that everyone knows in order to make money, but at night he plays songs that he's written, which are full of emotion. The story begins with a young Czech woman who overhears one of his songs at night. Throughout the rest of the movie, which takes place in a week, they find a common interest in making music and recording songs, the guy being haunted by memories of his ex-love, and the girl haunted by the memories of her old home. The guy is played by Glen Hansard from the Irish band The Frames and the girl is played by Marketa Irglova, who helped Glen record one of his newest solo albums. Neither are trained actors which is one of the things that makes this movie so genuine. The entire movie is filmed with what appears to be a home video camera and it all has a very real feel to it, like a documentary. I consider it to be one of the most important musical movies of my/our generation and it really made me re-think music and movies. If you see it at blockbuster or west coast video or whatever, I strongly recommend that you check it out. Here's a preview: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7mIpwx5lA5I

For up-to-date-Isaac news:
I get to go home for the first time in a while on Friday, which I'm excited for. Not only will it give me a chance to see my dogs again, but I can also get some laundry done and buy some groceries as well. I'll only be there for a day or so, but it'll be worth it.
