just me. my current interests and stories for the interwebs.
So many movies are coming out but this one excites me! It already looks different than the comic book plot but I'm definitely interested in seeing the cinematic twists. Seeing Professor X is always a plus. Both Professors at that! Bishop makes an appearance too! So awesome! http://youtu.be/pK2zYHWDZKo
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire just dropped its latest cinematic trailer: take a peep! What do you guys think? It's been a while since I read the book. Maybe I'll have to re-read it again. http://youtu.be/zoKj7TdJk98
Director of Monster University, Dan Scanlon, addresses the continuity problem in the origins of the friendship between Mike and Sully And comes up with a rather brilliant idea. I like it.
So yeah, now we joke that that’s just an old monster expression, you’ve been jealous of my good looks since the fourth grade. That’s what monsters always say to each other. So, uh, so luckily I feel like when you watch the movies together, the spirit of it still works great.

After acquiring the essential tools over the past week, I was able to produce a great cup of coffee; first for my mother-in-law and then myself. What a difference this method makes! I'll post pictures of my setup in later this week.
I couldn't' have made a better video than these guys but I will try in the future. For now, check these guys out!

A beautiful performance by Norah Jones. This song, "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" features music by Walter Murphy and lyrics by Seth MacFarlane from the movie TED. It was easily one of my favorite movies of 2012 and if you haven't seen it, it's out on DVD & Blu-Ray
Unfortunately, NBC still chooses to use Adobe Flash for their video offerings, so if you're using Safari, just open up Chrome and use the built in player.
Not too many trailers have given me this many goosebumps in a while. I can't wait to watch "42"!
I know that the last few posts have been Apple / iPhone 5 overload, but until mine arrives on Friday, here's a little more excitement coming your way! Check out the latest trailer from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey slated for a December 14, 2012 release!.
So I finaly gave in and decided to watch "Twilight". Granted I was riding onboard Delta's first class and had the complimentary option so I figured might as well get acquainted with what everyone has been talking about. I have to admit that it was a little slow, and that the colors of the movie where a little too dreary for me, but overall, the story was alright. It isn't something that I'll be diving into, but different is a good thing. A great piano piece on Edwards' CD Player proved to be inspirational. I might just have to pick it up, learn it and play it. I also liked the theme song that he was playing on the piano, so maybe that too!
I can't say that I'm too enthralled by the whole vampire thing. If you know me, I'm not all into that genre of horror, scariness, thriller type; not that this follows that lineage, but it's okay. Of course, now that I've seen the first, there are so many unanswered questions that I want to follow up on so maybe I might just have to indulge a bit.
I can't say that I ever new Watchmen Motion Comics was available for free download on iTunes until tonight. Check it out! It's free and it plays awesome on my new toy.
It's been about two weeks since my last post and that's due to the overwhelming amount of studying that I've been having to do for my proficiency check. Of course that went well as I'm still flying happily on the line. I also went back to San Diego to hang out with Adelle where we watched Jumper and Definitely, Maybe.
I liked them both as Jumper was a different kind of theory that I really haven't been exposed and found the concept interesting. They definitely left it open for a sequel which I may or may not see. Definitely, Maybe was just an all around feel good movie but it's not something that you can go watch over and over again. It was a little too predictable but still romantic.
I'm back in Atlanta for 4 days of 8-hour a day class work that's called Recurrent Ground Training. Both the PC and RGT happens once a year at most airlines and its my turn! It's kind of crazy as it all puts it in perspective that we are really celebrating our one year anniversary here in Atlanta.
There are quite a bit of merger rumors lately and we have no idea how its going to affect anyone, but I just hope that people come out of both sides with smiles and hope. It's such a negative industry that anything can just trigger a mud slide of emotion and disgruntle-ness. Oh well...
I haven't been able to write lately either for PhoneNews.com due to the fact that my hotels that I've been staying in are charging for Internet service! It's an outrage! I thought that it would be easy to write more articles this year, but its only getting harder as my work times are more sporadic and just with all these qualifying events happening, it doesn't look good. Let's see what kind of news I can dig up. There's been a lot for sure like all the unlimited plans that all the main carriers have released! It's about time a price war starts in the mobile phone industry.
After a really long day of flying and losing $200 on craps last night in Harrahs' Omaha, I came back to the crashpad and it started snowing!!! Check out the pix. All this snow fell within 1 hour of each other.
Okay, so it might not have been that much snow but it's the most that I have seen ever falling at once. It was so nice and calming. I just wish that my girlfriend was here to enjoy the moment with me.
I also ended up heading out to a local bar called Bonz in off of Fairburn Road. They had an awesome Triple Play Hamburger which was basically three different kinds of melted cheeses. It was tremendous. I'm probably staying here in Atlanta this weekend to rest and clean up all the stuff that I moved back from Daytona.
Justin just told me about the Sundance Film Festival this weekend in Salt Lake so I might just hit that up. Sounds like fun!
This movie is definitely going to be awesomeness! I can't wait to watch it in IMAX. Lately, that's the only way I've been wanting to watch movies. Nothing beats it.
Here's a preview of the making of the "Dark Knight" out in theaters July 18, 2008. Click here.
Another trip to San Diego and back again. I got in Monday night and left on Wednesday morning. Tuesday included a trip to the bi-weekly haircut at the PQ Barber Shop followed by some PQ Donuts. Adelle and I then met up with my parents at Pat and Oscar's where we hung out for quite a while. Prior to heading to Pat and Oscar's, Adelle and I went to Edward's Cinemas thinking that we were going to watch Transformers or something else new but of course being that Harry Potter was playing that night at midnight, I thought that we might as well indulge in the mania. The line was long outside with full of people camping out in tents, sun bathing and it was just kind of nutty. It almost seemed as if it was even more of a hype than Star Wars, or Lord of the Rings. We went up to the ticket counter and to my surprise they were sold out for the four 11:59PM showings and the 3:15AM showings in the IMAX theater. Of course, we hung out for a bit and found out that there was a 6:15AM showing so of course after all the hype, we thought that it would be fun anyways to watch it then. The movie was sold out and when we finished, the line for the next film was long and the rest of the showings for today were sold out! It's crazy! The IMAX in 3D was pretty cool. I enjoyed the movie and cannot wait of course for the last two. I ended up watching Transformers online and it was okay. I wasn't necessarily all about it because of how confusing the transformation was in that it looked like a bunch of noisy graphics, but the action was great. I'm just glad that we watched Harry Potter instead.
I'm about to embark on my next trip that is basically a rinse and repeat each week. I can't wait to fly to the Bahamas, but it does stink that we don't have an overnight there. I haven't met my captain for this line yet, but I've already heard that he's a good guy. My flight attendant is awesome because at least, he and I get to hang out and grab some dinner / beers. Tulsa was fun and I'm sure that the next few overnights will be fun too!
On the way to San Diego, I met a newly promoted Captain at ASA who moved from Dallas to Salt Lake to LAX and now he's back in ATL flying the ATR. It's always nice to sit with another ASA guy when commuting. It's nice to make new friends who share a commonality and it'll be nice to actually hang out while were in San Diego. I also watched Premonition on the way to San Diego and it was alright. It's funny how many movies I'm actually watching now that I'm commuting. I should definitely be studying or something for the test that I want to take, but right now I can't fathom doing it right now. I need to prepare or something mentally, but the motivation isn't all there. Soon though...
