The X3 Trailer is online…apparently premiered on Fox last night…? Needless to say, I’m rather excited for May 26, 2006… :-P? Although, this one doesn’t have Bryan Singer directing (…since he’s directing Superman Returns…), but damn if Kelsey Grammer doesn’t look awesome as The Beast…w00t…
I guess I’ll just have to pass time time with V for Vendetta, coming out next weekend… 😛
So yeah, I went and saw Ultraviolet today, a movie that wasn’t screened for critics in advance. Normally when this happens, it’s because the movie companies hope you’ll go see the movie without hearing what the critics had to say (since they didn’t have time to write a review). Well, here are a few reviews off of Rotten Tomatoes on this movie:
“Great action… but unfortunately, the characters had to open their mouths. That’s when Ultraviolet becomes ultra vapid.”
— Staci Layne Wilson, ABOUT.COM
“Ultraviolet will be studied with great interest in the future – not for its quality or its artistic merit, but rather to discover how a turd like this was made.”
— Kevin Carr, 7M PICTURES
…and overall, it’s all true. The movie was pretty bad…like…B-movie on Sci Fi channel on a Saturday night… The acting was terrible, the effects were dumb, and the story made no sense… But the thing that really got me about this movie: their police cars were Buicks. Seriously. They are in the future…where we use 2004 Buicks as police cars. They have anti-gravity belts. And they ride elevators.
I just don’t get it. Regardless, terrible movie. Don’t go see it. Not that you were going to, anyway…
I bought an iPod…
That is all.

Yeah, had a test today…went alright, generally… I had that presentation last week, which could have gone better, but is otherwise done… And, I’ve got an exam next Friday…
But…Spring Break awaits. And I’m going backpacking with Nathan again. Likely, we’re going to Mt. Sterling, which is close to Cherokee, NC. The interesting thing is that, as you may note from the link, there are bears at campsite 39. That should be fun. Nathan, bring your handgun.
Anyway, I’m more than ready for these next two weeks to be over so I can take a little break. Then, I’ve “only” got two more exams before the semester is over and I have summer vacation. On the other hand, I start lab work this summer, so I really don’t get a vacation…
Is it too early to be thinking of summer vacation?
You’d better believe that I am!
Keep in mind…that’s not a black and white image…that’s Spider-man in a black costume…and, oh snap, it’s going to rock… 😉

So, I’ve got that presentation on Wednesday…and I’ve got to pre-present it for Dr. Samson tomorrow to make sure I’m on the right track…which I hopefully am. I’ve been working on it a lot today and, no doubt, I’ll continue working on it until late tonight…
This thing worries me. Not because of the material. Not because I’ll be presenting it in front of Ph.Ds who will ask me questions. Not because the grade for the semester is made up of this one presentation. Nope. Because, for the most part, this is the first presentation that I have where anyone can attend and see how I do. If I do a great job, then the professors who are watching will think that much more of me. If I don’t do well, then it could very well set the tone for the remainder of my graduate career.
No pressure…
“The Vice President is standing by his decision to shoot Harry Whittington. Now, according to the best intelligence available, there were quail hidden in the brush. Everyone believed at the time there were quail in the brush. And while the quail turned out to be a 78- year-old man, even knowing that today, Mr. Cheney insists he still would have shot Mr. Whittington in the face. He believes the world is a better place for his spreading buckshot throughout the entire region of Mr. Wittington’s face.”

That one’s for you, Liz… 😉
So, for those who have ever sat next to me in class, you know I have Solitaire on my Sony Clie (a Palm device, for those who don’t know…).? Finally, I “won” $100,000, which means that the game no longer keeps count, since it can’t go over 5 digits.? Therefore, I must restart the game at $0.? But before I do, I mark the occasion with some stats that have been recorded since beginning the game over a year ago:
Games played: 1227
Games won: 500
Games Lost: 727
Percent Won: 40.75%
Longest Win Streak: 6
Longest Loss Streak: 12
Average Game Time: 1:59
Total Time Played: 1d 16h 52m
Shortest Win Time: 1:20
Highest Score: $100041
…time to reset…
