posted by rollick at 11:35 AM August 06, 2008 One Month Ago Today I can't believe its been a month since i had the heart attack . it doesnt seem that long at all , but it sure explains why when i was at the hospital the other day, they gave me funny looks when i said the attack happend 2 weeks ago, when it was really four . oops. about the hospital trip.........had a bit of a scare this week . with all the new meds i have to take , one wasnt exactly playing nicely with the others and i wound up in the hospital again . what i thought was an oncoming heart attack , turned out to be intense gas pressure , which exactly mirrored major angina symptoms . after a day of being poked & prodded, drained of blood and fighting with the tangle of heart monitor and IV wires , it was determined that my heart was just fine and there was nothing to worry about . i'm not worrying so much now , but i can tell you it was sure scary that morning trying to make it to the hospital . *shudder* i still dont have the strength to sit at the puter for that long , but i did manage to find these sausages................

Rehab Rivulets the convalescence continues . every day i feel a little stronger , but not nearly as strong as i think i feel . i learned that the hard way on the weekend when i was stranded in the park without my nitroglycerin and had a bout of angina, which was really kinda scary . luckily i was able to make it home safely , the nitro worked quickly and a day of solid sleep got me back on track . i think the recovery is going to take a tad longer than i would like , but such is life . i just wont go anywhere without the nitro . that one lesson i learned . i guess i better not hop up and down while i have it on me though or else it might explode like nitroglycerin always does in old movies and cartoons :p i saw a couple more movies in between naps and this is what i thought of them........
Color Me Kubrick - this movie has been beckoning to me from the shelf for a few months now . everytime i go in , there is john malkovich toasting to me with a glass of champagne . i finally relented and its quite a nifty little movie . its about a con man who spent years posing as stanley kubrick and bilking anyone who will gove him money for a shot at supposed fame . its a fun movie . its not great , but worth it especially if you are a kubrick fan . its amazing how kubrick took ownership of certain pieces of music , so when you hear them in this , it takes you back to the many great movies he directed . if you look closely , you will also notice that some of the actors are kinda familiar . in fact there are quite a few actors from a lot of kubricks films , which just adds to the fun . if you like malkovich & kubrick , give this film a shot Superbad - if i was a sassy teenager again , this would be the greatest movie ever made . its a teen film loaded with juvenile laughs , that doesnt treat the audience like morons like so many american films do . the only time this movie is dumb is when its comdeically required . it reminded me of goofy things that i used to do when i was that age and the humour is perfect for annoying prudes . and isnt annoying prudes something we should all aspire to ? . this movie isnt for everyone, but if you want to remember what it was like to be young and stupid again , check it out Spiderman 3 - i didnt particularily like parts one & two of this series and part three really wasnt that different . the special effects are good , but the interpersonal relationships have been the death to the adventure in all three . i dont want to know about their personal lives . find a bad guy and deal with him . thats all i want from a superhero pic . i want to escape into the fantasy and not have syrupy relationship problems . if they make a part 4 , i think i'll pass Charlie Barlett - this movie was quite a pleasant surprise . it was recommended by the cute dvd clerk (oh if i only was that young again) and its another teen movie about a sassy and vulnerable student who is trying to find his way through public high school after being kicked out of every private school around . its about kids trying to fit in and find themselves as they are thrust into growing up . the movie is a tad subversive , but in a good way . it doesnt treat kids like they are idiots . they arent . sure they have a lot to learn , but thats what life is all about . this movie packs a lot of charm and is quite entertaining , but definitely made for a teen audience Bee Movie - it took me 4 hours to watch this movie mostly because i was falling asslep through it . sure i was recovering from my aforementioned angina scare , but despite that , this is a movie that makes a nap very likely . its very techincially terrific animation . its just not what i expected from jerry seinfeld . i remember once hearing advice to someone who was going to play carnegie hall and they were told to just do their act . dont change it . people are coming to see you and they will know if you change it . thats kinda how i felt . i wanted a more adult movie or at least adult jokes that were too subtle for young children but adults got . weve all seen the seinfeld sitcom. this movie just lacked that comic sensibility . it forgot about the adults and you are left with a nice cute, but dull kids movie . maybe what they should have done is let larry david make an animated film . he wouldnt pull any punches and that would be a movie i would prefer to see Death at a Funeral - sorry but there doesnt apperar to be a link to an official movie site for this film . when i first heard about this movie , people were raving about how funny it was . "a classic british comedy" . so i was kinda disappointed when i saw it . its not a bad film , but it certainly wasnt as funny as people thought it was . its a comedy of errors . it has a quite a few chuckles , but never had me laughing out loud . its mildy witty, so if you like that kinda thing , check it out . if not, pass The Bank Job - i like heist films and i also like british gangster films, so this was a good movie for me . its a supposedly true story of one of the biggest bank robberies in british history. it involves everyone from lowlife criminals , to the parlialment, to the underworld, to MI-5 or MI-6, to buckingham palace . its a tangled web that plays out in a nicely suspenseful way . there is betrayal from all sides and it is a thourougly enjoyable, well paced romp . check it out
The Angina Monologues ? Ok Just Rivulets Then thanks god for movies , cuz recovering from a heart attack is f'ing boring . even if you do feel like going for a walk (and its bean sunny and beautiful here lately) , you cant go too far or for too long . the good thing is that i no longer stagger around like some rummy and am walking with a lot more stability and purpose . recovery is still gonna take a while though . i am just sooooo tired most of the time . luckily i am on a roll for seeing really good movies from the video store . so far there hasnt been a bad one in the bunch . this is what i saw last week..................
Control - this movie is about the life & suicide of ian curtis , lead singer of the seminal english band Joy Division . its really well done but its bleak . beautifully shot in black & white , its an excellent uk cast , but with very sombre subject matter . if you are a fan of joy didvision or like movies about lives spiralling downwards , you'll want to check it out for sure , but if not you might want to give it a pass . if you are really lookinf for an entertaining film about the manchester music scene , i'd highly recommened 24 Hour Party People instead of this one . its much more entertaining The Savages - this is another excellent movie . an actiing tour de force between philip seymour hoffman , laurta linney & philip bosco . its starts out as an estranged family reunites when two kids pick up their abusive & dying father and decide to care for him through his last days of dementia , as well as dealing with their own personal problems . ok right now you're probably thinking , 'i bet that sucks' , but belive me it doesnt . this screen is wickedly funny and incredibly poignant . the 2 kids hash out all their differences as they go throught their complex emotional journies . the best part is the ending is perfect . there is nothing too sappy or saccaharine and i dont know if it was the meds or heart related trauma, but the very last scene of this movie before the credits had me bawling like a little baby (in a good way) . this is a very good movie Be Kind Rewind - this was a nifty little film about 'sweding' movies . after a freak accident causes all of a video stores vhs tapes to be erased , jack black and his buddies decide to film their own versions of the movies in order to save theire business . there is a lot of affection in this movie . not only of people but of place as well . its also a subtle study of a city in decay thats shows that even in dire strait , there is still a community that cares....somewhere . jack black isnt too over-the-top-jack-black in this , so this is a fun movie you probably would want to check out Walk Hard - this movie is hilarious . john c reilly is great as a pseudo johnny cash in this spoof of music bio pics . its just such a dead on satire , but done lovingly . i cant really say much more than to just say dont miss it . its f'ing hilarious Live Free or Die Hard - john mclean is back and they didnt screw it up . i'm mean really thats all you need to know . if you liked the previous die hard movies , you'll like this one . its a decent story with good action scenes and a good cast . i liked it Knocked Up - i finally got around to seeing this movie . it was one of those films that people come up to you and say 'oh you gotta see it' . for whatever reason it took me a while but i saw it yesterday . its funny , but i wasnt raving about how funny it was . i laughed and had no probs with the movie at all . this movie is sweet and after hearing how raunchy it was , i was surprised at how raunchy it wasnt . i figgered it could use a little more raunch . in fact i enjoyed the director commentary more than the movie . its still a good movie though , just not great I'm Not There - i saw this in the theatres and waited for the dvd so i could check out the director commentaries . this is such a good movie . if you dont like bob dylan , you will prolbably like the craft of this movie . its really entertaining , well acted , well editted and i am sure this will be one of those movies that you will see something new in it everytime you check it out . i especially like how they saved 'like a rolling stone' for the credits and give you one killer performance of 'Ballad of a Thin Man' . very cool . this movie is awesome and its deep and its fantastical and its real . what else do you want in a movie ? oh yeah the comentaries were good too John Waters - This Filthy World - god bless john waters . this is a one man show in which john takes a stroll down memory lane and reflects on his life , his movies and his career and there are genuine from the gut laughs all the way through . the man is a raconteur . he is self effacing , insightful , filthy , clever and above all funny as hell . if you cant bring yourself to watch his movies (especially his early ones) give this a shot . hes funny as hell
Dang, I Cant Think of Anything That Rhymes With Myocardial Infarction
for the next little while , i'll be taking handfuls of expensive medicines , getting blood tests and taking lots of increasingly longer walks until i get back to normal . i dont really have the strength to sit at the puter for too long , so i dunno if i'll get to any sausages for a bit , but i'll prolly watch a few movies so expect a rivulet post in the near future (fyi In Bruges is f'ing awesome) just for the record , i am fine . a little weak sure , but i am definitely on the mend . in no time at all , i will able to do The Twist AND The Kitty Kat !! Enjoy ! posted by rollick at 08:37 AM June 23, 2008Sausage Hiatus

Firefoxin' Blues
a little while back i installed the final beta version of firefox 3 on my puter and with any beta , there have been a couple minor growing pains , but nothing that makes me regret using it . It is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy faster , uses a tons less puter memory and is fully customizable . this is great cuz i have been able to cram all the buttons and options into two small tool bars (one on the top , one on the bottom) so now its like i view all web pages as a full screen . its nice . my only real problems have been how my addons have dealt with the changes . for a while i was having a problem connection to some links on youtube , but an reinstall of my addons seems to have fixed the problem (thanks for the idea arin) . finding all the addons was the hardest thing . my absolute must addon, Foxy Tunes , is not on the main addons page at mozilla . you have to go to the link to the developers page for a beta version and d/l it from there . my other addons are Download Status Bar (stops that annoying d/lpage from popping up when you d/l) , Adblock Plus (say goodbye to web ads) & PDF Download (opens pdf files in your browser) are readily available off the 'most reccommended addons' page . my only i'm forced to use i addon IE View (opens pages in internet exploerer that have to be viewed in internet explorer) , isnt in the most popular addons but its there after a little searching . make sure you get the correct one for you , cuz the page where i do these sausage postings is IE only (my own damn fault for not switching to a better blogging app , but i'm too lazy to do it lol) . thats why its taken so long to post these sausages...............
