Movie Reviews
   Kristy has a new set of roommates, and that means, they have a new library of movies. Two in particular I had thoughts on that I thought I'd share:
1. Butterfly Effect - At first I was extremely skeptical because they really really seemed to be overdoing the tommy-being-a-bully thing, but once they got out of that stage of the movie I really rather liked it. I was still pondering the movie for much of the next day. I'd discuss some interesting theories I've come to but they're potential spoilers.. but I'd be interested in discussing it in comments if anyone wnants.
2. O - So we really wanted to see a movie and it was the last move on the shelf that wasn't a "chick-flick." You know, I think if they didn't change anything except the music it would improve the movie two or three times over. Also if Hugo didn't look like he was sulking the whole time it would improve it 5 to 8 times over. I dunno it just seems to me its much more interesting when someone who is plotting to backstab all his friends is smiling the whole time, because when he's sulking like a repressed psychopath the whole time it all seems kind of expected.


Multimedia of the Day - Tristan and His Get-fiddle (video clips)
1. Flogging Molly - Worst Day Since Yesterday -- I wanted to get all of at least one song performed by Tristan and so I got most of this one. Also you'll see Shalane eat a rice-crispie treat and Jobee singing along under her breath. (25.7 MB)
2. Bad Religion - Infected - earlier I chronically underestimated the camera's memory and as such tended to take much shorter video clips than I otherwise would have. Anyway this is a clip of Tristan performing the aforementioned song. (4,233 KB)
3. She's Not Diana - Tristan performs his hit single "She's not Diana" (apparently people regularly mistake Shalane for Diana). (3,377 KB)
4. Tristan Acts Retarded and Caffiene Crazed - Tristan acts retarted and Cheri pretends she doesn't think its funny. (5,769 KB)

Googlin

   So I keep hearing reports of people finding this journal by searching my name on google. Most recently my friend Hannah claims the Director of Aquatics at Wild Rivers searched my name, found the journal, and became filled with loathing for me over something I'd written or something. I don't know what I've written that could have bothered him, but I've been meaning to call him so we'll see if he hates me more than usual. Also my evil brother nibot claims that he found my livejournal after .27 seconds of searching by typing my name into google, but I think he's just being saucy because I consciously never wrote my name in this journal until about a year after its existence, at which point nibot had already discovered it through roxymartini and hence so had the parents.

So I decided to check this out and searched for my name on google.

• First two finds are from articles in the California Aggie about the ASUCD supreme court (1, 2).


• Second two are from this Center for Voting and Democracy.


• Followed by emails for the AGnostic & Atheist Student Assn (AGASA), of which I am president


• Davis College Green Party webpage. This should not be taken to imply I am actually a member of the green party. I transcend all party lines.


• "Lisa Davis' Poetry." Yes thats right. I appear in a poem by none other than the infamous Lisa Davis. To quote the part that appears on the google results page "...daisy (thanks to vicki for that quicky gimmicky hickey on my picky tricky she's sticky like that mouse mickey that's tight like my man kris [my last name])"


• minutes from an ASUCD Senate meeting dated 04/08/04, and again further down for 05/06/04


• "Research Journal Articles" - "...Ogletree, Shirley M., Sue W. Williams, Paul Raffeld, Bradley Mason, and Kris [my last name] (1990), "Female Attractiveness and Eating Disorders: Do Children's..." !!
  
• Finally on page two, two entries from this livejournal from last February come up due to the copywrite line under photographs. Good thing I got saucy and started putting those in the actual photograph.


• an obituary for someone with my same name!


• two stories I've written.


• And finally, everything gets tied nicely together, because you see the infamous Jackson Pritt, then a cartoonist for the California Aggie, wrote a (somewhat derisive if I recall correctly) comic about none other than the abovementioned Lisa Davis based on a conversation that took place at my epic party in 2003. The google result of which I speak is his livejournal entry on the subject.

   So I dunno.. whats all that say about me?


The Reverend Returns
   While looking at the Cal Aggie, I noticed that former ASUCD President Tiqula "the reverend" Bledsoe wrote a letter-to-the-editor that will appear in tomorrow's Aggie. In it he claims that UC Davis is more segregated than the University of Mississippi, because the U of M is admitting four times as many african-american students as Davis.
   I just couldn't resist but point out that since California is 6.7% african-american, and Mississippi is 30% african-american (source), meaning Miss SHOULD be admitting 4.5 times more african-americans.

   I'm sorry, I just hate misleading statistics.
