  • President Ahmadinejad is in New York, and giving a speech at Columbia University! Too bad they won’t let him go to Ground Zero. Even if he is a horrible terrorist, I believe that he deserves respect. I follow the same logic on Bush too, (R-E-S-P-E-C-T) but atleast Ahmadinejad can string words together to make fluent sentences!

And by awesome I mean that I slept in until 1:00 PM.

Things Accomplished (Not in WoW)

Well, I was running 3rd in the GT1 class in rFactor (racing game) 45 minutes into an 1:30 race. That was Until I made a pitstop and got rammed from behind by another car, and for some reason this caused a VPU lockup. OH WELL. I also worked a bit on the Hilhi SpartsRead website (stay tuned for more) and read 20 pages of Beowulf.

Things Accomplished in WoW

I farmed 6 Primal Mana and stole 3 from my brother for a net gain of 9! I also (finally) got revered with Lower City and got my Auchindoun key. Dailys netted an easy 72g. Farming Primals netter 60g in trash. Good day!

Recently, they’ve been doing video news reports. Some are really funny.

Here’s a recent, awesome one:

Let me start by saying the experience was great! I’ve never had such a good time in a movie theater. The movie was everything I’d expected: it featured great Sam-killing-snake action, great snake-killing-people action, and it was corny to the point of hilarity.

Snakes on a Plane Poster

The cinematic quality of the movie is pretty low. During the exterior shots of the plane, you can practically see the string holding it up against a painted backdrop. Some of the computer generated snakes look really fake. The acting is sub-par; some of the dialog is just awful.

But it’s the poor quality that makes it even more funny. The entire theater was engrossed in the movie, clapping and cheering whenever Samuel L. Jackson killed a snake, or a snake killed someone. We counted down the timer until the snakes were released, we said “I’VE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING PLANE” right along with Jackson, we sang along with the music video at the end. There were a couple scary moments, and there was one oh-my-god moment at the end where the theater went silent.

I would love to go see the movie again. It was good enough to warrant a second viewing. But I doubt it will be as purely awesome as Thursday night was. Like my paper said “It’s an A+ movie if you see it with a crowd in theaters this weekend, but any time afterward, it will be a C-, a poorly written, acted, and filmed B movie.”

Here’s my own thoughts about the movie:

Their version of a robotic student allows the actual human to stay at home while a robot attends class for them at school. The only difference between their technology and my own is that my robot looks much more human, while theirs looks much more like a machine.
