2008 - 2007
CINCO DE MAYO - 05.05.08
Today is my favorite Mexican holiday celebrated by Americans. It's also my dog's eighth birthday.
'21' - 04.20.08
| Today I went to see 21, the new blackjack movie. I must say I enjoyed it. I also like the fact that it's based on a true story. |
'45TH PARALLEL' ONLINE - 04.12.08
I am honored to announce that my school newspaper, The 45th Parallel, is to host it's online edition here, on HarryBlakeman.com. I am currently the online editor, and am working on it as we speak. It's still in beta so don't judge it too harshly. Feel free to email me and tell me what you think.
'VANTAGE POINT' - 03.28.08
| I went to see Vantage Point today. I enjoyed it very much. It's an exciting and interesting look at terrorism and U.S. policy. Of course it's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be a simple thriller, but if you look closer your imagination can conjure up some interesting ideas. Did I really see Sen. Obama? Maybe it was a double? Now that's a thought that's gonna fester. |
OBAMA AT MAC COURT - 03.22.08
I went to see Senator Barack Obama yesterday in Eugene, Oregon. He spoke at University of Oregon's McArthur Court (Mac Court) to a crowd of nearly 10,000. Mac Court only seats about 9,000, but cramming another 1,000 people didn't really matter. There were still about 2,000 people waiting in line (don't get me started about how long that line was) who didn't get in. Because I'd only been waiting in line two-and-a-half hours, I was one of those 2,000. Luckily for me, his assistants ushered us into U of O's soccer field. There the Senator briefly spoke and shook hands. I'd like to inform you all at this time that I got within one foot of his greatness. It was probably the highlight of my life. They also were nice enough to put up speakers so we could hear inside Mac Court. Mr. Obama, the first real 21st Century politician will reunite this nation. I'm pumped.
I also got to see Secret Service!
OBAMA'S SPEECH - 03.18.08
| This is a truly remarkable speech. If you have time, watch the whole thing. Obama '08! |
'ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT' - 03.13.08
I just thought I'd share with you all that I have just finished watching all 53 episodes of Arrested Development. Cool huh?
HARRY FOR '11 - 03.07.08
Yesterday, as some of you know, I launched my campaign for the presidency of the class of 2011. A few months early, yes, but I think it's very important to get the message out there. Cameron Haun, my officially endorsed running-mate is also stoked for this election. We will soon announce who we're endorsing for the last remaining position, secretary/treasurer.

iPOD SHUFFLE - 02.29.08
Today I recieved my new iPod shuffle. It is my 5th iPod. Currently I'm also using an iPod classic. I must say that really are fun, and easy to use. Good, good.
INDY'S TRAILER - 02.14.08
| The latest installment of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas' saga, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull priemered it's trailer today. Should be fun. Happy Valentine's Day! |
THE DARJEELING LIMITED - 02.10.08
| Finally!!! My local movie theater finally got Wes Anderson's lastest masterpiece: The Darjeeling Limited. I've been waiting for this to come here for months now, and was about to buy it on DVD next week. Like all of Anderson's other work, it was beautiful, funny and relevant. Go see it. |
HULU.COM - 01.26.08
I just became a beta-tester on Hulu and I must say, YouTube now has some legitimate compitation. Just about any FOX or NBC show is avaliable. It's nice.
SEMESTER ONE - 01.25.08
Just thought I'd tell you that I'm halfway done with being a freshmen.
iTUNES MOVIE RENTALS - 01.21.08
Decided to try out iTunes' new rental service, yesterday. It's a tad costly (new releases are $3.99) and a tad restrictive (you have it for 30 days, once you start watching though, you only have 24 hours.) Besides these slight problems, I think it equals big money for Apple.
TRAVBUDDY - 01.16.08
 |
Just checked out this site. You should too. (I've also been to Utah and Washington, but forgot to include them.) |
MACWORLD 2008 - 01.15.08
| "The world's thinnest notebook." Yes, today was Macworld. Christmas for Mac addicts. Like me. We now have the MacBook Air, iTunes Movie Rentals, Time Capsule, iPhone and iPod touch software updates, and an awesome Apple TV software update. Life is sweet. Thank you, Mr. Jobs. |
'JUNO' - 01.11.08
| Juno. This one took a long time to see, but it was worth it. I enjoyed it very much, and would recommend it to most anyone. The soundtrack was awesome too. |
AH, 2008 - 01.01.08
| Well here it is. A new year. I hope we don't crap it up. Happy 2008! |
