I hate thinking of headlines

OKay...first of all...new song added to my profile! Using a cool new gadget I just read about HERE. It's a new (free) service that allows you to upload your own music and make a playlist and then add that to your myspace page. So you can have tons of songs on your player and add it to your myspace if you really wanted...just change the order of the playlist whenever it suits you. I haven't really played around with it. I was so damn excited that I wasn't limited to what myspace bands have to offer I just uploaded the first song that came into my head and VOILA!

So anyway, last night we went over to Ian and Michelle's for a party. It started around 9PM ... we got there around 11-ish. It turned out to be a going away party for one of Michelle's best friends. So we showed up with some beer and had a great time. It was nothing more than people milling around the house drinking and chatting with each other. While in the basement we noticed a poster leaning against the wall for the movie "2046" ... which I had just recorded on our DVR and Kevin and I were planning on watching this weekend. So I mentioned it and that got us all started on Asian cinema (which we watch mostly Asian horror but still...) Very interesting. Ian is very into Asian cinema (which you can tell if you look at his myspace duh! Sometimes I can be pretty dense) as was the other guy we were talking to, Stan. Stan is Michelle's friend from college (and he and his gf were the reason for the party....they're moving to San Diego)

Kevin got along famously with Stan and Ian. I chatted some with Michelle and her friends thru the course of the night. I really like her. I said it before, but she is just a phenomenal person. So nice and genuine and intelligent. (of course I didn't expect anything less) I kept hoping Evan would show before we had to leave but he didn't. He got lost on his way to Ferndale from Wyandotte lol. When Ian talked to him, he said to keep me there until he got there, but who knows when that could have been. Hopefully I'll get to see him this summer before he heads back to Colorado.

Before we left, Stan showed us a student project he did. It was a short film. About 9 minutes. Ian and some friends did the soundtrack. It was a zombie flick. Right up Kevin's alley. I *loved* it! Kevin actually wants to get a copy of it for our movie collection. It was brilliant. Stan said that when he first wanted to do the project the staff pretty much looked down their noses at him. You're in art school and you should do art...not zombie movies. But he sent feelers out anyway to see if people would be interested in helping him and was stunned by the response he received. He actually got around 20 people to dress as zombies for the final scene.

The movie plot was simple. Guy comes in and complains to friend that some homeless guy bit him. Shortly thereafter he turns and attacks said friend. They then go up into the dorms and get the security guard, who then goes with them up to the rooms. And at the end you see just tons of zombies walking out. they got them all! MUAHAHAHAHAHA

Stan was great! I am so sad that we got to meet him and he's moving!

I tell you what tho, it was nice to be around people that share our affinities. We get stuck going to the local bars and inevitably you end up talking about football or baseball or whatever sport is currently the season, or about the weather, etc....you know, pretty much small talk. And I hate small talk. Give me some meat with my conversation. For instance, last night we even started touching on religion and christianity. a social no-no. Especially with people you barely know. But we all held conversaions just fine. Intelligent. Civil. Perfect.

So I'm thinking of finally cleaning and organizing our house up and maybe having parties again. Simple ones. Just friends coming over, maybe playing games or whatever, sharing drinks and conversation and just generally enjoying each other's company. Sound like fun?
