Hello everybody, hope you all had an excellent weekend. I'll make this quick... I recently joined this music site which lets you put together play lists for listening to music online and you can share your play lists with others; and I've been loving it. I thought some people on here might be interested in hearing my first play list I created which features a nice relaxing mix of music that nicely represents how I get down musically on the weekend. Perfect to play in the background on you computer while cruising DA or making some art. So if you're in the mood for tunes, here's the link to my play list:

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that besides being your local friendly neighborhood photog, I’m also an obsessive movie watcher. This being the case I find it my civic duty to recommend good films to people, whether they want to hear it or not. With that being said, I couldn’t help myself from giving all my great friends on Deviantart a quick rundown of some of my latest favorite movies… in hopes that if you are a movie fan even in the slightest; I can be the source of some good advice for what to rent. Here are five recent movies you need to watch, satisfaction guaranteed for most people.

5. The Darjeeling Limited- “Healing. A year after the accidental death of their father, three brothers - each suffering from depression - meet for a train trip across India. Francis, the eldest, has organized it. The brothers argue, sulk, resent each other, and fight. The youngest, Jack, estranged from his girlfriend, is attracted to one of the train's attendants. Peter has left his pregnant wife at home; he buys a venomous snake. After a few days, Francis discloses their surprising and disconcerting destination. Amidst foreign surroundings, can the brothers sort out their differences? A funeral, a meditation, a hilltop ritual, and the Bengal Lancer figure in the reconciliation.”

1. No Country for Old Men- “In rural Texas, welder and hunter Llewelyn Moss discovers the remains of several drug runners who have all killed each other in an exchange gone violently wrong. Rather than report the discovery to the police, Moss decides to simply take the two million dollars present for himself. This puts the psychopathic killer, Anton Chigurh, on his trail as he dispassionately murders nearly every rival, bystander and even employer in his pursuit of his quarry and the money. As Moss desperately attempts to keep one step ahead, the blood from this hunt begins to flow behind him with relentlessly growing intensity as Chigurh closes in. Meanwhile, the laconic Sherrif Ed Tom Bell blithely oversees the investigation even as he struggles to face the sheer enormity of the crimes he is attempting to thwart.”

Consider these recent films Mr. Cool approved. If you’ve seen them, I’m always down for discussion… and if you haven’t… get to renting.

I was taking a shower a few minutes ago and for some reason this popped into my head and I thought it might be fun. So... just for the heck of it... how would you best describe yourself in three words? Use any words you want; hell, they don't even have to be real words. Here's mine:
