I think I need to get my eyes checked

June 24th, 2006 at 10:26 pm [ # ] · Comments · life

So this is really retarded of me. I’m watching the movie Heat, kind of old, but the reviews said it was good. I’m watching it, and I keep wondering, how is this guy in both the LAPD and able to rob armored trucks and stuff. And why is he trying to pretend [...]

major decision

June 16th, 2006 at 7:32 pm [ # ] · Comments · life

So today I declared a major. Two people told me that it would be a lot easier for me when they make schedules if I declared a major, so I though it out, and I did. I’m not the type of person who changes a lot, so I’m hoping this sticks until the [...]

Core Values

June 15th, 2006 at 8:49 am [ # ] · Comments · life

Today I decided to go for a mile run. Boy was I in for a surprise.
I was at first aiming for under 6, but then I settled on under 7 after barely making one lap at under 6 pace. I ran one lap at under 7 pace, but that was about it. [...]

a fashion dilemma

June 14th, 2006 at 11:39 am [ # ] · Comments · thoughts

I realized recently that it’s kind of hard being a guy. Of course we don’t have to go through childbirth, but hey, our wardrobe options are pretty limited.
If you think about it, there we have very few options. For example, in the summer the only thing you can wear for bottoms are shorts. [...]

a question

June 14th, 2006 at 11:20 am [ # ] · Comments · thoughts

So driving from MI to IN, I found that the van starts to shake if I go a little bit above 80 mph. I’m wondering, is that a defect with the van, or a feature to prevent habitual speeders?

review: Thank You for Smoking

June 13th, 2006 at 5:25 pm [ # ] · Comments · reviews

The previews for this movie looked promising, but I wasn’t able to see it for a while. I finally got around to seeing, and boy was it good. It was smart, charming, and thought provoking.
The actor who played Nick Naylor did quite a good job in my opinion. The kid who played [...]

review: Cars

June 13th, 2006 at 5:00 pm [ # ] · Comments · reviews

Pixar has put out several good movies in the past few years. The Incredibles was pretty good, and I personally loved Finding Nemo. So when I heard that Cars was coming out, I had pretty high standards.
After finishing the movie, I felt a little bit shortchanged. I’m not saying it was a [...]

Graduation

June 10th, 2006 at 11:37 am [ # ] · Comments · life

I can honestly say that graduation ranks in one of my top 10 happiest moments. Up there w/ GYLC and J-Camp. I’ll start of with the rundown of events, and then move onto the more internal stuff.
The Play-by-Play
So I left the house around 5:20, and stopped by Turkey Hill to get my favorite [...]

review: X-Men 3: The Last Stand

June 7th, 2006 at 6:08 pm [ # ] · Comments · reviews

I had pretty high expectations going into this movie. Having neither seen X-Men 1 or 2, I really had no idea what it was going to be like. I had seen the preview (at least twice) and from what I saw it looked alright. Angel looked cool with his wings and the [...]

review: the Break Up

June 7th, 2006 at 5:55 pm [ # ] · Comments · reviews

So last night I watched the Break Up, expecting to be laughing through most of the movie, b/c hey, it’s got Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Anniston in it. But instead, I almost felt like crying towards the end of the movie. And not b/c I was laughing so hard either.
Think of the movie [...]

Pretty much done with packing stuff to take to Taylor. Now I just have to box what I want to take to Austin.

Walmart

June 5th, 2006 at 10:39 am [ # ] · Comments · thoughts

So after dropping my stuff at the school (last time in there!), I went to WalMart to pick up some pictures of the Millers and get my watched battery replaced.
Firstly, the pictures turned out surprisingly well for WalMart. Secondly, I think they were a little expensive for printouts, but that’s just b/c I get [...]
