Twilight?!

Kay, TANYA DRAGGED ME TO THIS.
I wanted to see Quantum of Solace.
But shockingly, this vampire romance was rather good…?!?
It’s just the vampire romance part of it that was actually decent.
Everything else, (the screenplay, plot, etc.) was mediocre, like Stephanie Meyer’s writing.
If I compared this to Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, I’d say this was better. Infinite Playlist seems almost rather naïve after Twilight.

I think the factor that drew a nation of teenage girls into this film, is Robert Pattinson (the guy who plays Edward Cullen).
Lmfao, that factor deluded me too.
I won’t go into detail on how attractive Pattinson became throughout Twilight (I’m sure you’ve heard too much of that already), but his acting is phenomenal.
K fine, well maybe it’s not.
But he sure is pulchritudinous. (-For the sake of refraining from frivolous terms like hot, fine, etc…[Hey, Tanya called him 'delicious'!] lawl)


EDIT: Note that I still have no respect whatsoever for the Twilight series. Meyer's writing is still awful, and the influence of this book/film isn't great either. In fact, I despise it. But not the guy who played Edward in the film.

EDIT EDIT: Pattinson is officially uncool.

The return of SpazJaz

Yeah, I've been up at the Bay Area with my brother for Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

I got some new stuff, particularly a new monitor that pwns hard. My eyes hurt so good!

Noah's Ark-

God: Noah! Our frat's gonna have a huuuuge party. Can you build a boat? I'm going to flood the stadium. Oh, and get two of each animal.

Noah: Why two of each animal?

God: Well, it's gonna be a really crazy party.

Abraham: So I sacrifice my son Issac, right?

God: Yep, that's the dare.

Abraham: Okay... (Starts to bring down knife)

God: AHAHAHA! YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE!

Issac: Oh my God! You were actually going to do it!

God: Awkward...

Lot and the Damning of Sodom-

God: WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T LOOK BACK!

Lot: Hey dude, not cool. That was my wife!

The Book of Job (Out there looking for a Job. :P)-

Job: Um, hey God, I know you destroyed all my property, plagued me, plagued my livestock, and had my livestock eat my family, but we're still cool, right?

God: No, we're not cool.

Job: NOOOOO! THIS FRAT WAS ALL I HAD LEFT! NOOOOOO!

God: HAH! TOLD YOU! You owe me twenty bucks, Lucifer.

Lucifer (From another frat): Shit dude, I knew we should've just played Gears of War.

God: Whatever, loser.

Job: So we are cool?

God: Huh? Yeah, whatever.

Job: YES! And do I get my family back?

God: Uh, I'll get back to you on that one.

Worker dies at Long Island Wal-Mart after being trampled in Black Friday stampede (in NY)

Updated Friday, November 28th 2008, 10:46 PM

(This photo was taken moments before the Wal-Mart store opened.)

-A Walmart worker died early Friday after an "out-of-control" mob of frenzied shoppers smashed through the Long Island store's front doors and trampled him, police said.
The Black Friday stampede plunged the Valley Stream outlet into chaos, knocking several employees to the ground and sending others scurrying atop vending machines to avoid the horde.
When the madness ended, 34-year-old Jdimytai Damour was dead and four shoppers, including a woman eight months pregnant, were injured.
"He was bum-rushed by 200 people," said Wal-Mart worker Jimmy Overby, 43.
"They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me.
Even officers who arrived to perform CPR on the trampled worker were stepped on by wild-eyed shoppers streaming inside, a cop at the scene said.
"They pushed him down and walked all over him," Damour's sobbing sister, Danielle, 41, said. "How could these people do that?
Damour's sister said doctors told the family he died of a heart attack.

Roughly 2,000 people gathered outside the Wal-Mart's doors in the predawn darkness.
Chanting "push the doors in," the crowd pressed against the glass as the clock ticked down to the 5 a.m. opening.
Sensing catastrophe, nervous employees formed a human chain inside the entrance to slow down the mass of shoppers. It didn't work.
The mob barreled in and overwhelmed workers. "They were jumping over the barricades and breaking down the door," said Pat Alexander, 53, of Crown Heights, Brooklyn. "Everyone was screaming. You just had to keep walking on your toes to keep from falling over."

"When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling, 'I've been on line since Friday morning!'" Cribbs said. "They kept shopping."

C2 BANNER W00T!

-I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.
Mine was productive :D (You know why.)
And today's Black Friday!
And it's only Friday!...

I spent 3 hours malling this morning, lulz.
And bought nothing. .__.
(Should've gotten that Beatles tee, darnnit!?)

-Anyhow
I've been up to a lot in muuuusic.
I'm wrapping up in my Bach Sonata, & starting Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto.
So far, it's been mediocre- my vibrato on my pinky sucks in high positions.
That and my bow control is hawrrible.
It is a lovely song though.



- I'm in a piano trio for the Junior Chamber Music thing.
We'll be playing the awesome-



-which I requested. :D



- And Cable & I are thinking of doing a duet for the Christmas program at church. Any music suggestions? I think it'd be wise to play Xmas songs.

- I'm taking voice and dance classes sometime in winter.
I know, it's wretched to imagine me doing either, but my violin teacher says I need to "express" myself better in violin. She says I'm too logical and square and stiff and nerdy. o.o

Haha no, I'm not that stubborn.
After all, we're all encouraged to step outside our comfort zone, yuh?

how do you like your eggs- sunny side up, scrambled, or fertilized?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

How to: Resolve a Conflict

How To:


RESOLVE A CONFLICT.

It's not that hard to get into a disagreement with someone, but quite difficult to get out of one.
Throughout my years of experience in acting mostly as a middleman in countless struggles between friends, familia, etc., here are some general factors that seem to work the best.

-Rationalize: Try to see what you are doing wrong, before you jump straight to someone else's fault. Then, see how the problem could be fixed by changing something on your side, or help change the other's, or both!
[Biblical Ref: "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" -Matt. 7:3]

-Improvise: Think of a solution in which you end up with a win-win domination. Talk it out, and make a pact, or something.

-Apologize: This is often the most teeth-grinding bit of making up. Just simply say,
"I'm sorry (for blahblahblah)."
When accusations are abound however, neither side will be apoplectic first. When all is seems dim, then apologize, even if you are absolutely convinced that you're right. ...No, I'm serious! Lie, and say that you're mistaken. It is the rarest but best resolution.

Be Aware:

Sometimes, even when you exert your best efforts to resolve something, your strife still won't go away. That's okay. As long as you sincerely tried, then you have done all you could. It really won't be your fault anymore after that.

Sometimes, the optimal fix is just talking.
Yeah, sorry, you can't get away with just sending an email.
Talk to that person/animal/violin personally, and with the right attitude too.
...Try not to be sarcastic.

HAPPY MAGRITTE DAY!

Or his 110th birthday.

My New Best Friend

Remember the German violin (by Ficker) that I recently disposed of? [http://jazznkat.blogspot.com/2008/11/fondness-for-material-objects-what.html ]
Well I acquired it again. ;D
So after giving back the Ficker fiddle, and taking home some other violins , I nostalgically played them. On the day of my lesson, however, my teacher was still not satisfied.
So she ordered me to buy the German, and keep it for now. I won't say how much it was, but I'm definitely not risking taking it to school.
&I can always trade it in if something better comes up.
But I don't think that will happen for a while. <3


[Edit]: I named my violin 'Ficker', after the violin-maker. It fits, but change one letter and you've got a potential insult. .__.

Fondness for Material Objects? What?

It's a German violin made in 1935. Sorta odd that I've grown emotionally attached to it, and gave it a verbal adieu when I returned the violin back to Cauer's (violin shoppe) today. It's really strange how an object becomes part of you. I can't figure out why yet. I only played it for a month, through one audition and recital, but I did that constantly w/ my old violin (my mum's) ! I had to return it, since my teacher recommended better violins. Still, I feel like nothing could replace it.

Anyways, I've been looking and looking for a new violin. Akshully, no, my mum has. x] But it's hard to find the perfect one; some violins may have a great G&D string, but wimpy E&A, or the G string may have a fuzzy tone,...etc. Playability has to be put into account, too.
It all comes down to what your price range is. I tried this $500 k violin, and it was MAGICAL. Once my bow touched the string, the violin SANG. No the sing-sang, but really SANG (Lol).



^I'm currently studying this piece. Isn't it wonderful? The dissonant chords here are brilliant.
I love how it just drags your heart. Kinda like what Anon. is currently working on -
Étude Op. 10, No. 12 (Chopin)



The quality for both isn't too great, but- enjoy !

Um.

Ayn Rand quotes ftw!
__
Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death.

Do not ever say that the desire to "do good" by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives. (pwn't)

Force and mind are opposites; morality ends where a gun begins.

God... a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive.

Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started.

People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk.

When I die, I hope to go to Heaven, whatever the Hell that is.

How to Movie-Hop

HOW TO:

"MOVIE HOP"
Movie hop- n : the act of watching multiple movies for the price of one; Esp. watching fragments of multiple movies v- movie-hopping

Kay so I'm an avid movie-hopper.
Drop me off at a theater and I can stay there for half a day.
How do I do it?
It's basically common sense.

1. Planning- Find out which movies you want to see, and figure out their show times. (http://movies.yahoo.com/ is a good resource.) See if you can watch complete movies, by scheduling a different movie every 2 or so hrs. If not, just go from theater to theater.

2. Preperation- If you want to watch complete movies, bring a book or some change for the arcade. There may be time to kill between shows.

3. Disguises- To not arouse suspicion, change your appearance as you walk around. Wear a glasses, grab a drink, put your hood on- anything to change your appearance slightly. Remember, the staff sees lots of people everyday, so they may not recognize that you've been around for hours.


Be Aware:
There may be ticket checkers at the doors of theaters, so make sure you slip in discretely. Of course, there will always be someone guarding the entrance to the movies (the guy who tells you 'left or right'), so when you're coming in and out, just show your ticket quickly and move along. Also, there may not be movie names and showtimes over every theater entrance, so make sure you record them, or you'll have to check each of them for the one you want.
The worst that happens if you've been discovered, is getting kicked out, and I personally have not seen or heard of this. If employees notice, they'll prolly not care.

hey guys, you just lost THE GAME

hmmmmmm. posting using a cell phone. forcing self to write almost properly. using shatty (lol) cell. I HATE WRITING LIKE THIS. also, connection is slow. this is such a minjbag. in other news, orchestra is boring right now. you know what im talking about. ~jason in the sky, bearing diamonds... ... of impending doom

Obama Wins!

He won by 200 points.

McCain really lost his comeback when the credit crisis started.

Really funny that a guy with 14 houses was done in by a credit crisis.

Anyways, all we have to do now is hope Obama doesn't screw up.

You see, he has to deal with a giant shatburger of problems. Or, I believe Mexico would call is a crap taco.

Recipe for a motley feces de royale:

-1 debt to China so big, the Chinese people are legally allowed to keep us as pets.
-1 economic crisis so bad, we've resorted to sending scam emails to Nigerian princes.
