A Concept, An Illusion, The School In Which We Learn

Hey Flip-philes. How are you today? Really? That's great! I'm doin' alright as well! I'm pretty stoked we're both doing alright.

Today's blog might be a little on the short side. I would say it's more about quality than quanity, but I've found that that's really just an excuse for not having many ideas... which I may not.

First off, a movie recommendation! My roommate Geoff and I watched a film called Anvil!: The Story of Anvil last week. It was really great, and I urge you to check it out, Dear Reader. Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF4H8lB2Y_o

Oh, and here's something that's been on my mind recently. A couple of months ago, I read an article that described a film as "cheesy and awesome." That's a very interesting thought to me, "cheesy" being something that's not necessarily a bad thing. Just because it's cheesy, doesn't mean you can't still love it! This is a pretty large overhaul of how one approaches books, movies, music, etc. Please! Sound off in the comments section below and tell me about things you love that could also be called "cheesy."

Anyway, Lost's excellent sixth season continues. I loved last week's Ben-centric "Dr. Linus." It wasn't very heavy with mythology and was fairly straightforward (well, straightforward for a Lost episode). Do I have theories? Yes. Are they correct? Probably not. Am I having a blast? Absolutely!

Anway, here are some videos I'm into this week. Again, I'm not going to set any of them up except to say that they're all songs I love (yet I'm not really sure any further explanation is required... who was it that said talking about music is like fishing about architecture? Frank Zappa?)

Anyway, that about wraps it up this week. Come back next week for more of the same, but one week into the future!
