well damnit.
i supose i should have seen this comming... things for the chiaman movie are meeting some roadblocks. i've had to fuck the schedule around a bit, but hopefully things well still happen when we want them to happen. if you have any information, or ANYTHING that might help up, feel free to e-mail me at turnip@proaxis.com.
bah.
i can't think right now, so no more writing.
i'm hungry.

i'm really pissed at proaxis right now. they're doing SOMETHING (apparently emergency repairs on a router that servers the corvallis area), and consequently alot of things are working sporadically, if at all. grr. an i'm tired. i got a funny shirt today from that girl though. her dad got it from someone, but he felt is was too...inappropriate to wear. so he thought i might like it. i did. it's quite funny. maybe someday i'll take a picture of it and scan it, so you can see.
today, we scout locations. at least i hope so. if brodie wrote up that release.

a few days ago, that guy brought us some ice cream. it was vanilla with raspberry ribbons. the rasberry was...intense. observe. it will amaze and disturb you.

i just made a movie. yeah. it's short, yet funny and perhaps even poignant. it's also in realmedia format. enjoy.
toodles.

just for fun, today's post is in heavy l33t. if you can't read it, tough. but don't feel bad. i can't either. ;)

whew. now wasn't that a lovely tea party?

hmmmm....
i've got "adam's song" by blink-182 stuck in my head. but that's cause the girl next to me is looking for blink-182 stuff for her collage. i don't really do much in this class...mostly just help people. ;) heh. maybe i should be a teacher. or maybe not.
anyway, i've come up with YET ANOTHER film idea: film adaptation of a shakespeare play. i'm not sure which one yet, i'll need to talk to ubertopher and brodie, but right now i'm likeing "as you like it." it seems like a pretty good one. anyway, stay tuned for further updates.
speaking of updates, i just republished the entire archive. so now you can read all of the tasty ben's pants goodness that has ever existed. joy.
lunchbox out.

and now (amzingly) haiku (written during german class):

light trickles down wall
on the end one bulb flickers
colors dull, tired

three windows on the wall
one open to tired light
rest closed to world

woah. aren't those amazing. i'm talking to anne. woah.

damn you, you skinny little bastard.
...not like it matters though. i don't have a liscense, so i couldn't drive even if i DID have a car. besides, i want that old one over by the girl's house. it's only about $700 too. :) happy.

boo-yaw to brodie. i read the script this morning, and it's quite funny. huzzah and kudos.
also, i scoped out the school TV studio today. excellent. cameras, equipment, it looks like it will come in VERY useful. needs some cleaning up, however. i've also written up a sort of description for the news show. hopefully it will come to pass. boy do i hope. heh.
anyway, that's it for today, except that i'm hungry. and not looking foreward to german. :( but that's all. so bye now.

yes, that's right, it's time for my now-daily blog from multimedia tech. this one comes earlyin the class. i did my german homework just now, but i doubt it did it WELL. humph. anyway, last night i saw a production of les miserables. i feel that it was sort of ruined for me becuase i had such high expectations from what people had told me about the show. that's not to say it wasn't spectacular: it was, and i'm very glad i went and i enjoyed it a great deal. i just felt a little...let down. but it was still great, nonetheless.
at break today, i got a somewhat tasty little morsel resembling an egg mcmuffin for the low, low price of twenty-five cents. although half of the egg mcmuffin-things enlish muffin casing was stale, it was still a reasonably good meal (sort of) for one quarter of a dollar. it could not, of course, live up to the glory of the king of all twenty-five cents food, the divine home run pie, but it was still a enjoy purchase. i also procured a large chocolate cookie, which i then shared with the natives. the primitive hearts seemed to be touched by this small gesture of kindness. futher oberservations as they happen.
i've been thinking about mortality and morality alot lately, since the who plane-ing thing and since watching les miserables. the plane thing makes me think about how easy it is to die...the people int he world trade centers probably had no idea, no inkling, that this was their last day on this planet. they just look up and - holy shit - there's a plane about to crash into their building. it's that easy. a complety random (at least to them) act, and they're no more. as simple as that. i could walk out the door and get hit by a car. or shot. people might say it's outragous for me to be shot, just like that, for no reason, but if you would have asked someone a week ago, that probably would have said that planes crashing, intentionaly, into the world trade center was outragous. death can be completly random and un precedented. in that, i somewhat envy people in battles: at least they know they're probably going to die. they might even have a choice. which brings me to my next subject: morality. more specifically, in case you don't know (and i doubt this is the case with many people) one of the main plot points of les miserables is that a number of students and other memebers of the community are staging a rebellion; the play takes place and the beginning of the french revolution. the people on the baricade were willing to give their lives for nothing more than an idea. they belived in something so strongly that they were willing to die for it. and die they did. all of them but marius and valjean, who don't die becuase they're main characters. but it makes me think...would i be willing to do that? give my life to something i beleived in? what if nothing happened as a result of my death. we all know the french revolution happened, probably as a result of people like the ones on the barricade. but supose if i were to die for an ideal that my sacrfice would be in vain? my cause, my rebellion, would simply be passed by. my heroism, and that of my companions would go unremembed, and would have been for nothing. just becuase you do something brave doesn't mean it's going to change the world. so would it have been better for me to just stand down, and live? i don't believe in the afterlife, which means that if i die as a hero, i'm still dead. no everlasting paradise for lunchbox. i die, i fall, i rot in the ground. that's the end. so do i die, as an forgotten hero, or do i live, as a cowardly survivor.
a quandry.

arg...this class is boring. nothing to do... filming needs to happen so that i can edit. grrr. maybe we should set a deadline for chiaman. that might get us moving. sigh... i wish i had some lunch.

well, as sick as i personally am of hearing about them, i feel i should say SOMETHING to address today's events. by today's events, i am of course refering to the multipule, uh, plane-ings, of major goverment buildings and such.
as to what i should say...i'm not really sure. there's alot of pain, suffering and loss going on as a result, that i honestly can't imagine or begin to understand. if, for some ungody reason, someone who was personally affected by this tradgedy is reading this, i'm sorry for what happened, and, pointless as it may be, you have my heartfelt condolences. really. despite how fake this sounds, i really mean it, and i hope you feel better as soon as possible. i guess it's pretty pathetic that someone on an site no one reads except for my friends, is appologizing for something like this. even EBAY has a public condolence for heavens sakes. and penny arcade. but i still feel like i should say something. and if you know me, and how i usually react to "world crisis," that's something. not much, but something.
so in conclusion, sorry everyone. i wish it hadn't happened.

like ubertopher, i'm bored. i already know how to do everything we're doing, and i've done it already. i wanna do video!
:(
well, hopefully we'll have a script we can do something with soon. whoo-ah.

i didn' uh, write that. just so you know. all credit goes to weezer. the song's "only in dreams." i like it. w00t
speaking of things i like, i saw "the warrior and the princess," which is very cool. you should all go see it. for those of you in corvallis, its playing at the avalon. go! go now!
and speaking of things in general, we need a new design. poo.

You can't resist her
She's in your bones
She's in your marrow
And your ride home
You can't avoid her
She's in the air
In between molecules
Of oxygen and carbon dioxide

Only in dreams
We see what it means
Reach out our hands
Hold on to hers
But when we wake
It's all been erased
And so it seems
Only in dreams

You walk up to her
Ask her to dance
She says "hey baby
I just might take the chance"
You say "It's a good thing
That you float in the air
That way there's no way
I will crush your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces.

well, i just got two band-spakin-new tapes for out little camera. now all we need is a plot. and script. and some actors. but at least we've got tape. booyaw.

school starts today. fuck beans.

i'm bored. very much so. and too lazy to try to do anything constructive. poop. i like snatch.

i think i'm starting to like oasis. is the is a good or bad thing? i'd appreciate some help here...
on a vaugly related subject, the music from snatch kicks about as much ass as the movie. especially the song they play after they steal the diamond and do the credits sequence, and the one they play for brad pitts final fight (which happens to be a bit called "fucking in the bushes" by oasis). hot damn. that's another CD i want. and a dvd. gosh that's a cool movie.
