Monday afternoon I decided to do my routine Facebook check, where I see what everyone is up to, look at pictures, etc. As I was going through my news feed, I noticed something that caught my attention. “4 of your friends are now friends with Joey (I’m leaving out the last name intentionally).” My first thought was “Which friends?” My second thought was “Joey? That rings a bell… OH FUCK OFF!” My stomach dropped, my heart started racing, I felt ill. Johnny’s boyfriend finally joined Facebook. I knew the day would come eventually, when I’d see his ugly ass face on there, but I was hoping I’d never have to know. So of course I go to his profile. It’s like the urge to look at a car crash, even though you might see something you know you’ll regret looking at later. Within about 4 seconds of looking at his profile, my eye veers to the left of his profile and my heart skips a beat, and my stomach drops even more. Johnny is also on Facebook! Every once in a while I would search Facebook to see if he was on it, but he never was. And I invited him to it a couple of times last year, but he said he wasn’t interested in it. So then I go to his profile, and the first thing I notice? He’s using my pictures that I took of him on my camera. Pictures which hold memories of us being together. Here he is using them, when I specifically asked him not to before. This upset me and I felt like crying. Whenever I see any pictures of us together or pictures I took of him, it stirs up a lot of emotions. And I start remembering when the picture was taken, and what was happening at the time of the picture. Then I notice today that Joey has commented on the picture of Johnny. I wonder if the picture he knows the picture he loves of Johnny so much was taken by me while we were on vacation together and in love?
Anyway, after that heart attack, I decided to go look at the four friends who had Joey on their friend’s lists. No surprises really there, but I promptly removed them from my friends. There is no way I can be friends with people who would be friends with someone who is such an idiot. Maybe they’re not his real friends, maybe they’re just people he knows online. But oh well, I can’t have any ties to such a person, and I hope those people understand. Joey told me I should slit my wrists, and frankly, anyone that can say that to another human being doesn’t deserve friends, let alone someone as good as Johnny.
I’ve decided I’m going to continue writing movie reviews on my blog. I was using the Flixsterapplication on Facebook, but I prefer to use my blog. I’m really tired of applications on Facebook forcing me to send information to other users, despite Facebook trying to stop it. They’re not doing a very good job. It was a mistake to even bring in applications if you ask me. Anyway, that’s for a different blog entry! About the movie…
P2 was not that great. I was hoping it would be better. I didn’t have really high expectations for it from watching the trailer, but you never know, so I decided to check it out. Mostly because of the genre, and also because Alexandre Aja produced and wrote it. Unfortunately it’s not his best work! It was mostly pretty boring and nothing really surprising. Somewhat predictable at times, although there are a couple of very gory scenes for good measure. I feel they could have left those out, or toned them down a bit. I think movie audiences are over the “shock them with gore until they puke” tactics. I know I am.
The lead actress; Rachel Nichols, reminded me a lot of Katherine Heigl from Grey’s Anatomy. She did a good job in this movie without being annoying. I think they should have given her some more lines though. The lead actor; Wes Bentley, makes me really angry. I just want to yell at him most of the movie for being a complete idiot, but I think that was the point. You’re not supposed to like him, even though he’s pretty nice to look at!
Overall, I think this could have been better if more work had been put into it.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I was watching the Toronto Maple Leafs vs. New York Islanders hockey game tonight on TV. One of the Islanders was trying to clear the puck out of his zone, and not only did he manage to do that, but he managed to score into the Leafs net at the other end of the arena!
I discovered this awesome technology called PhotoZoom through a blog I read called LiveSide.
PhotoZoom uses the Silverlight technology developed by Microsoft to basically allow you to zoom into your photos for infinity, until that spec of dust on one of your digital photos becomes an entire screen of grey. It’s absolutely phenomenal.
Anyway, I’ve found a way to show this technology on my blog here, so you too can see what I’m talking about, instead of just reading about it. You will need Silverlight 2 beta, I believe when trying to view it, it will automatically ask you to install it. If not, go here.
So I present Snoopy in PhotoZoom! (Use your mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out. Click and drag around the pictures to zoom in on a specific picture or place. Use the + and - symbols in the top left if your mouse is of the non-fancy type.)
