Wow it's been a long time since I've written anything. It's freezing in the morning, my asthma is poopy, and I don't have a car. I'm not making quite as much music as I would like but it's all good. I released a video for the hit single Megabytes. I've been doing video stuff for my work, which is awesome, although it's pretty intense. I've had to learn how to use Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 for Mac, which is unfortunate, because the program does not have as many features as it does for PC, although Mac's still rule. I'm working on a Delaney's Hole in the Wall theme song in hopes for some kind of trade. I'm thinking dinner and drinks. We will have to see how good it comes out. There is potential. I watched HBP again, I stand by my first review. It was good, but like the previous movie, it strayed too far from the book.
Phish is coming to Portland! I can't wait. It's going to be a crazy weekend, backstage VIP Pixies passes on Friday nov. 27th, and Phish in Portland on Nov. 29th. Needless to say, I'm taking the following Monday after off.
I still want to release an album soon, but it's mad expensive, and SO much work. Poganddog.org is doing quite well, although one dog was a real bitch. Ha. Get it? DonCreeper.com is also doing well, but I need to add a little more content to make that site worth anything. ErichRyan.com is a waste thus far, that needs serious workage.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Saw it at the Cinemagic (proper name for the film) in Westbrook.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good movie. It's beautifully shot, and the acting is good enough. The effects are spectacular, but there's something about it that rubbed me the wrong way. - The writing.
Steve Kloves has written so many harry potter scripts that they have become predictable and scripted. I felt as thought I knew what would happen before it did.
MAJOR KEY points were dropped, like oh I don't know- DUMBELDORES FUNERAL! It's the best chapter of the book, and it was completely cut out. what bullshit.
This movie had none of the suspense that was ever so important in the book. Trying to figure out they mysteries came all too easy to these characters. I felt the liberties taken were too much with the changes. I will never get over the fact that they cut Dumbeldore's funeral. This was my favorite book, and I am pretty disappointed about hardly a mention of Harry's loss of Sirius, or the hidden love between Tonks and Lupin. No minister of magic talking to the muggle prime minister.
To be fair they did leave in some good stuff too. the Cave scene was awesome to see Dumbeldore weak and crying. I would have liked to see this expanded upon. I seem to recall harry having a hard time getting Dumbeldore home as he cant Aporate. They showed no mention of this.
It's honestly a shame that they have such a spineless director who has no backbone when it comes to taking chances. He is doing exactly what he is told by the studio, and they don't really care how good or bad it is because they are going to make a billion dollars. I say can all the existing HP7 footage and let peter jackson or del toro, or curon start from scratch and make ONE good movie. The mere fact that they are splitting it up into two only speaks in words at the greed of WB and JK. Fuck that shit.
