brodie: perfectly imbalanced

update

It's taken quite awhile for me to sit back down again and write about my perfectly imbalanced life. I decided not to stay on just one topic, but talk about a smattering of issues.





Stars
First of all, I want to thank Britney for showing Jon and I this wonderful little piece of music. It's got some great songs, and if you like the band Broken Social Scene, then you would like this one.

Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness (Vol. 3)
I have been waiting for over a year to read the 3rd chapter in the life of Scott Pilgrim. This series is very funny and ultra-cool. It should be coming out soon, but I can never seem to have any luck with Amazon, so who knows when it will be out.

Gedo Senki (Tales from Earthsea)
A little while ago, I posted about a movie called Howl's Moving Castle, which is a Japanese feature length cartoon movie. And while I am still waiting for it to come out on video, I have come across Studio Ghibli's (the animation company) new movie, which is based off of the Earthsea books by Ursula K. Le Guin. The animation of Studio Ghibli's movies have always impressed me and the story-lines are great too. Gedo Senki looks to build upon the Studio Ghibli's impressive reputation, but I fear that I will have to wait some time before I can get my hands on it.

Harvest Moon: Magical Melody
One of my favorite series of video games is back in full force! The premise of the Harvest Moon series is that you control a farmer who lives out his days tending crops, milking cows, and wooing women. It seems like a weird thing to do, but it is very addicting, especially trying to make your farm free of weeds and rocks.


Alas! That is all I have for a little while. Be sure to watch tonight's episode of 24, as it is sure to be a good one.

mirrormask

I just saw this really weird movie last night called MirrorMask. Jon and I were sitting in my room watching the movie and wondering how much weirder it could turn out. It was in the vein of Labyrinth mixed with a smidgeon of Alice in Wonderland. Everything about the movie kept my interest going, even in the dreamworld. I had this weird dream after I finished the movie. I am going to have to watch the movie again tonight just to experience the weirdness for a second time.
