Today is a holiday in the US, so in order to help out the California office which is running with a skeleton crew, some of us in the Toronto office are staying late. Free full rack of ribs for dinner and some over time pay, good stuff. And so concludes this pointless post, now back to trying to configure XGL on my laptop.
Finally an official announcement from SCE at E3, the PS3 drops November 17th in a worldwide release. Conference videos are up now, check them out, there's lots of game footage and sexy sexy men... that Kazunori Yamauchi is so dreamy, and don't even get me started on that Kaz Hirai.
[addendum] Nintendo must be spining in their graves over Sony's inclusion of a the gyroscope controler aka. the Wii's killer app. Plus the PS3 gyroscope controller doesn't look like a vibrating chairs remote, ouch Nintendo, OUCH.

"What does that mean--'tame'?"
"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. It means to establish ties."
"'To establish ties'?"
"Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world . . ."
"I am beginning to understand," said the little prince. "There is a flower . . . I think that she has tamed me . . ."
Seeing as how this movie was brought to us by the same team responsible for Bring It On, it was really a no brainer of a choice to see it. However, Stick It is not so much a movie as a place where beautiful dreams go to flourish. For those not in the know, this movie is in escence a tale of perseverance, girls in leotards, team spirit, girls in leotards, the human struggle to overcome adversity, girls in leotards, and girls in leotards.
My only complaint with the whole thing was at one point when Wei Wei pulled out her iPod mini to play some inspiring Come Baby Come by K7. When the camera zoomed in on the iPods screen they showed the interface for an iPod colour! That's right an iPod colour display on an iPod mini! The whole thing was ludicrous, after investing 105 minutes of my life into these characters and the situation they are in, it is incredibly jarring to be pulled out of that world of fantasy by something as silly as a technical inaccuracy. But solely on the amount of times "the horns" were thrown out during this movie, I can totally over look that short coming.
To wrap this up I'll just say, please bring on the Directors Cut of this inspiring film. BUNG!
In all honesty though, it's a chick flick people, avoid it if you are adverse to flicks of a chicky nature.

What embarrassment? I had prior shopping engagements, and eventually ended up at a park with these here pretty cherry blossoms, so I stand by my plans : P
Training is finally over, I got my first case to work on today. Let the good times roll!
The end result of so many meetings
At late night dinners with no one eating
We sit in corners and sip burnt coffee
Count the tiles upon the ceiling
Skip this pretense and cut straight to dying
Don't pick me to keep your eyes from crying
You said so much without ever parting your lips
It's past 3 am and I'm still far from sleep
This is a habit that I can't break
You're my only company
I'm skipping stones
Street lights flicker like this match in my hand
Begging to strike, begging to strike
And I keep repeating, but this payphone tele stopped receiving
Flat out of change now I'm sure you won't accept the charges
It's all the same cause by the morning I'll be halfway to Colorado
Or some place like that
You said so much without ever parting your lips
It's past 3 am and I'm still far from sleep
This is a habit that I can't break
You're my only company
I'm skipping stones down a south suburban street
She keeps on asking "do you think it hurts much to die"
"It's hurting so much more to stay alive now"
She's gonna find out how much it hurts to die
She laced her perfume up with death
Feel it in my lungs
So I'll pull in the deepest breath
And drop my head
