performances

So last night (Friday), my family and I went to see the Golden Dragon Acrobats perform at Zellerbach Theatre on the Cal Berkley campus. It was quite an amazing performance. I'm a tough critic, since I can normally do half the tricks that we see performed. This time however, I was thoroughly impressed. There were numerous acts, and the performance went on for more than 2 hours, with a short intermission. The troupe travels all around the world. If you hear of them stopping nearby, definitely check them out.
You can see some great pictures and video here. The video is excellent and really gives you a good idea of their style of performance.


Then, today I went out and saw The Prestige with my sister. It was a very solid film. While I know that it's a tad complicated for some people (I had to sit around explaining the plot to my 14 year old sister for 5 minutes after it was done), I ended up seeing what was going at a little past the half point. A friend of mine had tipped me off, and said to look out for some major plot twists, and so I paid extra close attention throughout the film. I don't want to ruin it for anyone, so I'll just say that the first twist (the secret to Danton's prestige) is notoriously easy to figure out. The second one (Borden's prestige) is much more difficult, but there are a few hints. It was a very neat film, and I recommend you go see very soon it before it leaves theatres.

While watching the previews at the theatre, one in particular caught my eye. The Fountain is a sci-fi/drama that asks some serious questions about immortality, and manipulating the body in general. It looks interesting. Anyone had a chance to see it yet?

Anyways, have a nice night

Snow Days

You may have noticed the new holiday themed icon I've added on my sidebar. PopularFront's 'Snow Days' is a surprisingly addictive snowflake creation toy. You can create snowflakes just like you did in times past, but with the added benefit of having an undo option. It's far too easy to lose track of time making flake after flake. Each time you make a flake, you get to see it drift slowly down in the simulated snowfield. You also get to see the creations of thousands of other users at the same time. As in real life, no two flakes are ever the same, and you'll definitely see some amazing artwork. The snowflakes you create can be titled, and you can also leave a nice holiday message that people viewing your snowflake will be able to read. Comments can be left, so that you can let people know how skilled they are (hint hint). On a completely unrelated note, if you'd like to see my various creations, search for:
Name: Austin
Location: Alameda Ca
Leave some comments, and get some ideas, then get out there and make your own!
And don't feel guilty about making too many flakes, because each one you make helps raise money for a salvation army donation.

Have fun!
