LiveJournal is too complex

Haven't made a regular livejournal post in a while. I wonder if there's even anybody left who reads it?

Been a while since I've been inspired to write more than 140 characters.

But I just had an idea for something to use livejournal for. I was watching a movie with my family, and I had a thought.

From now on, any post tagged with "mini critiques" will contain little musings about things. I'm thinking small nuggets of film analysis, criticism, or theory. Okay?

I don't claim they'll be particularly inspired, or enlightening, but they could be! Who knows at this point.

I'll try to keep spoilers under a cut, so beware there. Before the cut I'll name all the things I'll be talking about.

Let's start with one right here.

So, with my family here on Easter Sunday, we decided to watch a bootleg of Shutter Island, which my cousin brought down. Should have decided not to watch it, based on the bootleg quality alone, which was awful. But anyway.

( The actual nugget that made me write all this. (minor spoilers below)Collapse )

So, I don't know if I'm right about any of this, but it's fun to think about. Anyone else got anything to say about this?

I've neglected a lot of writing I should be doing, especially this livejournal.

Seems like I can't be bothered to write more than 140 characters at a time anymore.

I've turned off loudtwitter, cause I figured, if you wanna read my tweets, you can go to my twitter.

Eventually I'll get back in the habit of writing here more often. I need that. I can't be slacking like I have been.

Just you wait!





Now lets see how many months it'll be before I actually write another post.

• 17:36 I dunno what it means but it was funny to me. Not Michael Jackson dying, though, that aint cool. #

• 16:07 Should I get the 35 dollar All-you-can-eat tickets for the A's Game tonight? I am pretty hungry. #
• 20:17 I love when A's fans trash talk their own team. They so deserve it right now. #Oakland #A's #Baseball bit.ly/37juKv #
• 20:22 twitpic.com/8ccsh conference before Mount Davis. #Oakland #A's #Baseball #
• 21:47 twitpic.com/8cjry it's rally time! #
• 21:50 twitpic.com/8cjy6 rally time baby! #Oakland #A's #Baseball #
• 23:12 Might as well tweet the other photos I took tonight #A's #Oakland twitpic.com/8cp98 twitpic.com/8cp9p twitpic.com/8cpaj #
• 23:13 So, at the end of the game, the all you can eat tickets are probably not worth it. But I had fun. And isn't that all that matters? #
