Well, here I am, considerably happier than the time that I actually wrote an entry. As many know, I had my computer confinscated three weeks after school got out for the summer because I hadn’t found a job yet. I don’t officially get my computer back until I get a job, which could take a while due to the lack of jobs available to those under 18 who haven’t graduated from high school yet. However, I have it upstairs, due to commitments I made a while ago to various teen committees at Koelbel Public Library.
I still have not found a decent keylogger for use on my parents’ computer, so I’m still stuck without an inter-web connection in my room. However, I finally got my learner’s permit! I was able to convence my parents that I needed to get it now because Colorado State Law changes in… well, about an hour and a half. Now, those wishing to obtain their learner’s permit will be required to submit proof of enrollment in a driver’s education class no matter the age of the applicant. Anyway, it was getting about high time for me to get my permit. The written test, which is 25 multiple-choice questions, is way too easy, in my opinion. I barely even read the Colorado Driver Handbook (Compliments of the National Driver Training Institute) once, and I got a 96% on the test, only missing a question about school buses where one of the choices was “speed past the bus with its red flashing lights on on the right-hand side and run down all the wee little children while doing so”. OK, so that response is a joke, but it was just a little technical question that the driver handbook barely goes into and therefore shouldn’t be on the test for the Colorado Class R Instruction Permit Test.
So anyway… Has anyone seen the movie “Cold Mountain”? The one that won all the Oscars? over LOTR: The Two Towers? Well, I saw it for the first time tonight. It was the most boring movie I’ve ever seen, mostly because it is too tired and predictable: Guy meets Girl, Guy goes off to fight war, Girl pines away, Guy comes back, Girl has sex with Guy, Guy gets shot by law enforcement, Girl weeps uncontrollably, Guy dies, Girl goes on with life raising child concieved during step 5. This movie is the standard romantic tragedy, with some little extras thrown in: The women in this movie (excepting Renee Zelwigger’s character) seem to have no problems showing flesh, to the point that it almost shows as much skin as a porn flick. Hell, Nicole Kidman’s entire naked body is shown in this film, just not all at once.
When the small band of deserters of the Confederate Army come upon one shack with a guy and his “wife and sisters”, he turns out to be a pimp happy to “have the soldiers taken care of” while going to fetch loyal Confederate soldiers to arrest them. If the guys were smart, they would have been able to see through this trap in an instant, as the “sisters” were just a little too horny. Hell, this guy’s “wife”, after he had left, went to the guy who had pledged himself to Kidman’s character, got him out of the small bed in the corner, bent over the table, and lifted her dress. When he didn’t fuck her halfway to Colorado, she gets down on her knees and starts unzipping him. Way too horny for just being a simple housewife.
