Things have been a bit crazy this past week, I meant to get an entry in last weekend but I've been really busy since then. I feel like today ended all that craziness/business.
So, with that, movies I've seen lately:
Big fish
Good flick, I enjoyed it a lot. People said they cried at the end, my two brothers included, and I realized I was more in a happy mood at the end. Also, I watch too many movies with my laptop at my side. I'm always having to rewind parts because I'm not paying attention, so perhaps I didn't pay close enough attention on this one (even though I really liked it).
The Last Samurai
Surprisingly good. Tom Cruise gets a B+/A- while the badass samurai asians get themselves A/A+'s. Movie overall gets an A-, cause it pulled through in the end. I was very impressed it didn't suck. I'd recommend it. Some good action in that movie, too.
Starsky & Hutch
Vince Vaughn is my hero. He does another great speech in this one, just like his incredible "true love is blind" speech in Old School. This movie was nice and light hearted, it is everyone from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Old School, and Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story only in that they all have random cameo's in each other's movies. Even Snoop Dogg is back from Old School as Huggy Bear in Starsky & Hutch. It is pretty funny how they're doing that these days.
Anyway, gotta go running before my cousin gets married tonight in Cincinnati. Good times had by all.

hey john, delete this if you dont want it here but...
i just watched a major warehouse fire from up on my campus and it was awesome. This building cleaned and repainted old chemical barrels, and it cought fire. The flames reached about 80 feet into the air and literally melted the brick walls. The smoke turned yellow from PhosG burning and turning into Chloride then the firefighter's water turned it into hydrochloric acid. So all that smoke is starting to blow right over onto our campus. The walls were crumbling in explosions going off and we could see the floors of the building collapse from about 5 miles away. Right ever house within 5 miles is to be sealed up and no A/C becuase the toxic smoke is just flooding the air.
However, i started to think what's worse... watching NASCAR hoping there is a 20 car pile up with fire and cars flying, or watching a building, someone's livelyhood burn to the ground and about 30+ firefighters fighting extremely dangerous conditions.
What aspect of our nature makes us look for disaster? Why do people cheer for a suicidal person to leap off of a building when they obviously need some help and a caring shoulder? anyone got any thoughts?
umm ... if the air is toxic, shouldn't you be like ... evacuated or some shit
That sounds hella-dangerous.
we didn't get evacuated, just they told everyone to be on home lock down, no open windows and no aircondition.... maybe people could have used all that duct tape they bought when Homeland Security told us it would protect against WMD's.
but, i dont think anyone did that, we all turned our AC's back on cause it was hot
I'd run for the river ... cause as fucked up and toxic-waste infested the Ohio is, I'm pretty sure they say that if you're under water during a nuclear blast you're A-Okay.
you'd get more radiation from the water than from the fall out, that is if you survive against the catfish the size of Honda Civics.
