I'm not going to sleep tonight! Miracles has succesfully freaked me out. Now I won't be able to stop seeing that little girl. Ack!! I love this show. It's awesome.

I admit, I'm a snob when it comes to movies. I like to see the obscure, artsy, independant films, and I always get disappointed, or maybe a little disgusted when I hear people say that the best movie in the world is Armageddon. Well, I did a complete 180 and purposely went to go see Cradle 2 the Grave. What can I say, I'm a sucker for martial art movies. Besides, a girl can enjoy a popcorn movie if she wants, right?
The movie delivered. It had the most outrageous fight scenes, and did I mention Mark Damascos is hot! Well not hot in that, "ohh I must fuck you kind of way." More of a, "ohh I'm such a voyeur and I must admire your muscular body!" There's just something about his fighting style that had me swooning in Brotherhood of the Wolf, and voila, here he is again. And I haven't even gotten to Jet Li!
The movie was directed by the same person behind Romeo Must Die, which I really enjoyed. Jet Li and DMX were also in that movie. I'm not going to mention the acting. There was no acting, just some bloody, ass kicking, and I loved it. The fights were choreographed well, especially the match at the club. And unlike Romeo there was only one internal body scene, which was just fine by me (it was my only gripe from the first movie).
The movie also had some spunky characters. The women were there just to fill the sex appeal quota, including the mandatory cat fight (boring). The little girl was cute and smart! She was actually giving the evil henchman a hard time.
Overall, this is an entertaining action movie based purely on the the martial arts sequences. The story does lack, and it's not the best movie in the world, but if you're looking to spend an afternoon watching something mindless and fun, then this is the movie to watch.

A friend just dropped a bombshell, but I can't mention it here. I bet you she told me over msn just so she wouldn't have to hear me yell, "WHAT!" I still did.
Anyway......
I've been bad. Really bad. I decided to download the new version of kazaa lite just in case I was in the mood to download something via dial up seeing as I'm firewalled. Kazaa lite got through the firewall.
Instead of doing all the other important stuff I had planned for today, I downloaded songs. I downloaded lots, and deleted lots because some of the files were dupes that made my ears ring. It was painful.
I am so bad. I finally have almost half of the Chicago soundtrack. I do plan to buy the cd soon too.
I also downloaded music from the Daredevil soundtrack. Mostly songs by a group called Evanescence, which is amazing. They're new, and their first cd comes out this month. I need to get my hands on it because the files I have found are all dupes!!!
My downloading for today is over, mostly because I don't want to run into anymore dupes. It's like listening to an amateur singer singing flat, which is just unbearable. Believe me. Think nails scratching across a chalkboard.
As for the rest of the night, I need to pick a new theme for the contest. There were no winners seeing as I only received one entry. I want to think that maybe it's because the first theme was so difficult. I may go with something a little more broad, but I'm still disappointed. I'm not giving up though.

R. I. P. Mr. Rogers | I woke up this morning to find out that he passed, and it's just sad. I used to watch him religiously when I was little. I don't think I'll ever forget his song, "It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood.."

Judge duct tapes defendant's mouth. It just had to be Texas.

New child porn law passes the senate. Two questions: how does anime slash aka yaoi fit into this, and if there are still questionable provisions in the bill that may affect movies such as Romeo and Juliet, couldn't this restrict free speech? Also, how do they define 'obscene?'

Three services offer music for a price.
Yes, we've known about them for a while. And though they seem promising, I still don't trust them and refuse to pay 10 dollars for music I might as well just listen to on the radio.
People want to be able to download and burn their files, not have them disappear once a subscription has ended. For a reasonable price, these services might even sell, but so far I'm not convinced. I don't want to use AOLs burning software, or Rhapsody's system. I want to be able to download mp3s, set up my own lists using winamp, and have complete control over what songs I'd like to burn. Until then, Kazaalit is still my best friend.

I admire this girl. She has a lot of guts to defend what she believes in, and I wish her well.

CONTEST
There are three days left to participate in the contest, and you could win $25. Do try it out.

Everyone arrived safetly to take the bar. Thank goodness. Of course now they have two more days to go. I'll be lighting a candle each day for them. It's time to show the dean that we don't need him. Of course, if everyone passes he's going to take credit.
My night class was also canceled. That makes me very happy. It is afterall 32 degrees out there, and there are still patches of ice. Granted, this is a piece of cake to anyone living up north, and I'm certainly familiar with the weather up there. So I'm not going to complain if classes get canceled.
