Video Project
So I had to make this for a video class…It’s not nearly perfect, but then again the only reason it is finished is because it is not perfect. All of my projects that I start on my own which don’t have a due date, I never end up finishing because I want them to be perfect. Read more…

Harvey Dent News
This is awesome, not only do they take the time and effort to create all of these sites, but they spent time making these fake news events audio/video.

Audio from their most recent news post.

There Will Be Blood
So I have been awaiting my chance to see this film for a long time. I love Paul Thomas Anderson’s work in both Boogie Nights and Magnolia. I didn’t really fully “get” Punch Drunk Love, but I do admit that it was very unique. My parents raved about the “strange” score in There Will Be Blood, which seemed to them to just be an incoherent collection of annoying/aggravating sounds. I later read that this score was composed by Jonny Greenwood and this made me really want to see it.
After watching it once, I did enjoy it, although I did not understand the intent of the film entirely. I feel like it is on a different level than Magnolia and Boogie Nights. It is certainly paced more like a mainstream blockbuster than any of his other films. I didn’t really care for the digitally enhanced shots of the train in the background and a few others which I think often degrade the emotion of the film. When everything is lit that perfectly, it just looks too unreal, and something is lost for me. I understand, of course, he couldn’t have done without CG for the shots of the oil rig exploding and stuff, but I thought that those particular shots fit into the movie much better anyway.
The music I thought fit very well. It was an appropriate mix of a sort of modern take on the sort of aggravating “The Shining”-esk sounds, and a full-blown cinema style symphonic score. I think that it is possible that my parents, having seen it in the theater, noticed the annoying sounds more, and were more affected or annoyed by them than anything else.
Overall I liked it, and I’m sure it will take a few viewings before it grows on me entirely like his other movies.

PHP Errors
So I basically know nothing about PHP aside from what I picked up while trying to format this blog. I recently was getting errors that looked like this when I tried to login:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/38/d240435823/htdocs/journal/wp-content/themes/ChaoticSoul v.1.0/functions.php:6) in /homepages/38/d240435823/htdocs/journal/wp-login.php on line 202

And so it ends up that this has something to do with blank lines in the file after the <?php and ?> tags. I had to remove all of the blank lines in functions.php, and now it works…Strange.

Relaxation coming soon….
Well, I’m glad the hell of my last four exams is over. I finally switched web hosts and my blog is now functioning once again. I still need to do a bit of tweaking, which I want to get done. However, right now I am tired and would not be able to finish the task. Anyway…Home this weekend. Amazing. It should be fun.
