Constant Distraction

Last week I went to see "Michael Jackson's This Is It". It was late enough in the movie's release that I could avoid large throngs of rabid Jackson fans. Not to say that I'm not a MJ fan, I just don't want to deal with large crowds...of MJ impersonators.

The movie is great and proved to all the skeptics that he still has "it". Michael sounded almost as good as he did in his golden years, which are the years before the History album, and he wasn't even going at full strength.

The experience left me dreaming of one thing, something that I will own, and that would be a home theater system. Big screen HDTV, surround sound and all! I know this sounds odd but it's not to enjoy MJ CDs and videos but because of the inconsiderate teens sitting next to me during "This Is It." There were about seven or eight and at first it wasn't that bad, low giggles at something on screen that looked awkward to them. About half hour in they broke down into just constant talking, playing on their cell phones, and bouncing in their chairs. They were out of reach to shush them without becoming loud myself and I felt any attempt to quite them would've been futile. They didn't seem like the type to stay quite for very long.

I think I'm gonna jump in now and start researching HD setups so I'm ontop of my game when the time comes.
