  1. The official date is October 9th . . . John Lennon's birthday!
  2. I'm sure I'll get around to it. My fiance surprised me this morning with the complete works of H.P. Lovecraft! She works at a bookstore in town and someone was trading them in. So, she bought them for me before they made it to the shelf.
  3. Just finished reading The Call of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft. No matter how many times I read that story, it still scares the hell out of me. Lovecraft is by far the best horror writer ever. I'd give it 10/10
  4. The Indiana Jones logo is the best! And so is the tagline: "If adventure has a name it's Indiana Jones!"
  5. To quote Courtney Taylor-Taylor of the Dandy Warhols: "Every frame of Coraline is a beautiful work of art, but when put together, it's really quite boring" I agree. But it really is quite amazing to look at . . . especially on Blu-Ray
  6. Thanks! Now I just need to accomplish the same thing on my Calculus final!
  7. As a math nerd, I have to applaud you on using the correct plural of Matrix. That said, The Matrix was awesome and groundbreaking in terms of how movies are shot (seriously, name an action movie from the past 10 years that didn't use bullet time) . . . but the other two were pretty much terrible. Even Monica Bellucci's monster cleavage couldn't save the sequels . . .
  8. Went to see Thor. It's actually quite good if you can watch it without thinking about Norse mythology (which I happen to be a big fan of) or the comics it was based on (which I happen to be a big fan of). But the guy they got to play Loki was, hands down, the best actor in the movie. I'd give it a 7/10 6/10 for the movie itself And then I give it an extra point for the Green Lantern trailer at the starting.
  9. Writing my Composition II final paper in the two hours before class and being one point off from a perfect score. I missed a comma.
  10. Well, I must have overlooked it somehow . . . my powers of observation are notoriously bad.
  11. I got a Russian caller at work asking for help with his FAFSA application . . . It went something like this: "Aye dunt oondur-stund thee qwesh-tun . . . Aye em noot nay-tev Anglesh spe-kar . ." Really? I had no idea . . . you nailed the accent. Anywho, it always makes me laugh when immigrants have to explain five times that they are not native English speakers.
  12. Top Ten Final Bin Laden Sentences 10. See Honey, I told you that sounded like a helicopter. 9. I thought you'd be here sooner rather than later. 8. Death to Ameri.... 7. The run I was on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards, all of them, just look like droopy-eyed, armless children. 6. Awww, the Playstation Network is down! This day couldn't be worse . . . 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.
  13. And to think, I jump out of the way of hockey players to save my camera . . . I am such a tool.
  14. I'm pretty surprised nobody has mentioned Batman and Robin Does Transformers 2 count? Or are we only talking about bad sequels to GOOD movies? The Sting II Any of the Jaws sequels The Fly II Ooh! Oooh! Stayin' Alive! AWFUL! Superman IV Well, Superman Returns Every Police Academy movie after the first one. Okay, I'm stopping before I get carried away.
  15. That is my favorite line from the movie. Keanu's delivery tops anything he has done since then.
  16. Not fair! I was coming here to post the same thing!
  17. I'm watching Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures . . . and it is so bad it's good.
  18. Say what you want about the song . . . but it did spawn this little gem.
  19. Thanks! And I love that song! Funny enough, they actually do know that song and are going to play it at the reception. Fitz and the Tantrums - Money Grabber
  20. This made me chuckle . . . I made it last night after one too many glasses of Scotch. Slightly Larger Picture
  21. Top 10 things learned in school, that you will never need to know. 10. The anatomy of a dissected frog. 9. How to program a mainframe computer using punch cards. 8. Cursive writing, it's all electronically written now 7. Calculus 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.
  22. 127 Hours . . . good but not worth the hype 6/10 Source Code . . . better than I thought, but what else can you expect from the spawn of Bowie? 7/10 Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man . . . one of the better music documentaries I've seen. Almost made me cry it was so good. 10/10 Limitless . . . I liked it. Not as good as the book and not as good as I wanted it to be. But Bradley Cooper brought it. 6/10 Hereafter . . . I was into it until the ending . . . 4.5/10
  23. I recently found this local band when I was searching for someone to play at my wedding reception. Official website Hidden Pictures - Anne Apparently (their first music video) Listen to their album here! Facebook
