    Fax Problem.

    Comments Off | Comments Off

    Wishing I knew how to use a fax machine. Things are good around here, saw the new Harry Potter flick last night. A little more dark and dreary than the previous ones, although the new director’s vision was a bit more like my own after reading the books. I wouldn’t take anyone under 12 years old to see the film though, because dementors giving death kisses isn’t something I would want my child having nightmares about. I also saw Pulp Fiction for the first time last night, which was interesting to say the least. A bloody horrific trip, but some of the most hilarious stuff I’ve seen in a while. Bruce Willis does a great job, but John Travolta possibly looks the worst I’ve ever seen him. Tarantino cleverly ties other films (past & future) together with this one through a few comments in the 50′s diner, Steve Buschemi being a poor waiter (Reservoir Dogs) and Uma talking about her stint in a pilot as a knife weilding foxy lady (Kill Bill).

    Since this has become such a big deal I thought it might be an easier way to keep up with everybody. I am currently working at Preation, Inc. (www.preation.com) in Chapel Hill, NC, where I do marketing and other various tasks. I also work at Coldstone Creamery (www.coldstonecreamery.com) at night. I live in a house in Carrboro NC, with 5 roommates. I am going to be taking a class during the second summer session and I will be a junior this fall at Chapel Hill. I am majoring in Journalism and Mass Communication with a specialization in Visual Communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which I love.
