Greg watches a movie: Watchmen

Greg’s Rating: 0/5

This movie stunk. I thought it was going to be bad but it was even worse than I thought. I read the comic and thought it was pretty bad but the movie made it worse. The characters were okay, and the first few minutes of the movie were pretty promising but the story went straight to the moon (in a bad way) 1/3 of the way through.

The very beginning was pretty cool though (like, during the credits sequence, downhill steadily after that).

Oh well, on the plus side, movies in Belleville are only $4.20 on Tuesdays, so I think I’ll be watching more!

Goodbyes (and exercise)

Erin (on hiatus, come back soon!) mentioned that she had Triumph’s ‘Lay it on the Line’ on her MP3 player.

Now, Rik’s the single biggest reason (other than my mom’s constant prodding for me to get a hobby) for playing the guitar (and the reason I play an RGX). He’s also a frightfully awesome singer.

So, last night being in a Triumph-ant mood I exercised (I do that once in a while) and put on some of Stages. I sang along. In the basement. Loud enough that my mom heard. At 3am.

So, to make amends somehow, here’s some Rik:

Just a reminder of what’s important

The Unprecedented Economic Crisis is worry a lot, so I decided to hijack a famous song and put to words what everyone’s thinking.

I give you ‘What the World Needs Now (is Wealth, Sweet Wealth)

What the world needs now is wealth sweet wealth,
its the only thing that there’s just too little of.
what the world needs now is wealth sweet wealth
no not just for some but for everyone.

Lord we dont need another mountain,
there are mountains and hillsides enough to climb,
there are oceans and rivers enough to cross
enough to last until the end of time

what the world needs now is wealth sweet wealth
its the only thing that theres just too little of,
what the world needs now is wealth sweet wealth
no not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we dont need another meadow,
there are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow,
there are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine,
oh listen Lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now is wealth sweet wealth
its the only thing that theres just too little of.
what the world needs now is wealth sweet wealth
no not just for some, oh but just for every every everyone.

what the world (whoa whoa) needs now,
is wealth (is wealth) sweet wealth
what the world ( oh oh) needs now
is wealth (is wealth) sweet wealth
what the world (whoa whoa) needs now
is wealth (is wealth) sweet wealth
