| so here it is. i didn't know if this day would ever come, but it has. i'm moving on. joel's last post says it all.
i know this is really stupid, but i'm actually kind of sad. i mean, i've been posting on this thing faithfully since my senior year of highschool. in fact, i just looked up my first post ever. crazy. i was in idiot.
i will continue to read those faithful few who continue to post on theirs. i just can't do it anymore.
anyway......without further ado, i present:
the stars are awake.
p.s.... you can comment on my posts even if you don't have a blogspot account. so i will expect some love from all.

You may tire of me
As our December sun is setting
Cause I'm not who I used to be.
today i realized that "stability" from the stability EP that death cab released back in 2002 is the same song as "the stable song" on plans (released 2005) except the version from the EP is over twelve minutes long and on plans its only 3 1/2 minutes. i feel like i knew this at some point. or maybe i didn't ever make the connection and i am just a bad death cab for cutie fan.
i had a really fun new years. i'll post pictures soon for those not on facebook.

| okay so, i have yet to see this movie. and i actually do plan on seeing it in the theater, which is more than i will do for most movies these days. and i've heard really really good things about it. that it depicts acurately the hardships of inner city/homeless life/making ends meet. and i'm actually really excited to see it.
the problem i have is not with the movie... it's with this bit of trivia that imdb listed underneath it.
Trivia:
The homeless people who worked as extras were paid a full day's minimum
wage (which is $8.62/hr in SF) and given free catered meals as
compensation for appearing in the film. For some it was the first money
they'd made in a while.
so... i guess that's good. i mean, it is good. it's good that they used acutal homeless people instead of paying some crazy "i want to meet will smith and be an extra in his film" fan. and it's cool that they gave them meals and stuff. but let's be honest. will smith probably made a good $10 million (probably more) for shooting this film. and that doesn't count what they paid his son, who is like 7 or something. so... "hey homeless people... we're making this movie about how hard it is to be you. and you know what? we're gonna give you $100 for filming all day. and hey, we'll throw in some free food too."
how generous.
