New Resident Evil Movie
Is absolutely terrible, thoughtless, and exceedingly predictable. Brain dead even. Truly and absolutely. That being said, it's also incredibly fun and lots of things go "boom." You should totally go see it, because it's worth it.
If you come back and say, "Chris, it wasn't that bad and I thought it was a good movie for its plot," I guarantee that I will think less of you. Just sayin'.

Busy With Life
I have not been paying a whole lot of attention to my blog lately. My principal problem is that when I feel like I have a lot of activity in my own life I want to write it out the least. It's been almost a month since I've updated anything...
Since the last update I've probably put another fist-full-of-hours toward startup business activities. Things have calmed down somewhat due to all the involved parties taking care of other obligations: read as "living life." Our next milestone date of activity is October first. I am looking forward to a supplement of my income.
I am not to be financially trusted. At least that's what I am going to maintain. Financial responsibility, much like spatial reasoning, has never been one of my strong points. I am exceptional at spending money and not so great at thinking beyond my next paycheck. This is, of course, to be taken with a grain of salt considering I have a reasonably sized mortgage and I am a tax-purpose single homeowner at 24. My life is lived comfortably and I don't question whether or not I'll be eating later on...but I still feel like I should be doing it "better." To combat this economical ennui I've drafted myself a budget in a spreadsheet with all my bills accounted for, a food budget, and a little spending money. With all bills being paid, factoring in various equities in businesses, and my 2007 tax return I should be bad-debt-free in February.
A prime example of my non-financial-trustworthiness would be last week's purchase of an Apple iPhone. It's a plastic doo-dad that is part impulse buy, part desire to organize my life better. Years ago I carried a PDA to keep track of various notes and homework assignments for school. Somehow I think it broke down and I just stopped using one. The desire to have a portable means of tracking all the shit I can't keep organized in my brain seemed like a good idea. Originally I anticipated it would become a phone with some side features I could use. In the first week of ownership I have used it's mapping functionality several times, the notepad to take notes, and I have actually logged appointments that I follow. This new phone is making me feel like a stylish grownup.
I'm growing my hair out. To what ends I do not know. I needed to get it cut earlier in the week and since Mario, my previous stylist, vanished from the face of the Earth, I have been looking for a replacement. Currently it's Lori at Altered Ego in Tempe. She does an excellent job, but lacks the raging arrogance and egotism I like in my stylists. She's afraid that when I tell her to take "creative license" that I won't end up liking it. A reasonable fear, though it never stopped Mario. Either way, I'm growing it to medium length. I've gone from dreadlocks to shaved head, maybe I'll end up with dreadlocks again... though I kind of doubt it.
Otherwise life is progressing very well right now. The hardest thing for me right now is self-restraint. My desire for self-employment through my startup efforts is palpable to me. It's *right* fucking there and I want it. Maybe I should do some meditation on future planning.
Side note:
I use Pandora a lot at work. This is my favorite programming/mindless activity channel. I call it "Dance!" It isn't necessarily "good" music, but it's great to zone out to. My Dance! station.
