Just a site I liked. Also, I'm throwing down the gauntlet, and officially challenging Pat to a test as to who can pick the most Oscar winners. Now, I think I've seen more of the contenders than you, Pat, but you're smart enough to guess wildly at them, and hope you're right.

I just got done with my English 101 class. My teacher wrote on my paper, "Good job, but write more specifically about what your going to say in the rest of your paper". Can you spot the problem? My teacher is a grad student, so it's not like it's unforgivable, but it just points out one thing that I dislike about the class. It also renews my faith in the ability of people to dissapoint me. I just keep waiting for that acceptance letter from the U of M. Not the answer to all my problems, but it certainly should help...I hope.

Here's a comic that I saw, and liked. It is disturbing, but well done, which in my mind is better than an untroubling, yet mediocre work. Reminds me of Palahniuk, which I know does nothing for Pat, but I like him.

I saw the original "Insomnia" this weekend, and I have to say, if I were to rate both versions (the other one was directed by Christopher Nolan, and starred Pacino and Robin Williams), I would give them both a 7.9. This was the first case that I've seen a remake be just as good as the original, and the interesting part is that they're good for different reasons. There were parts in the Nolan version that weren't nearly as strong as the ones in the Norwegian version, but there were parts in the Norwegian version that were immensly improved upon in the Nolan version. All of this is really moot, because whenever I think of Nolan, I think of Batman, and whenever I think of Batman, I get excited, and now I can no longer think about "Insomnia".

I'm trying out for "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" today. Problem is, I can't sing. Oh well. I'm going to try though, and I'm doing a song from "Urinetown" called "It's a privelege to pee". It's a funny song, and I'm following it up by doing a monologue from "The Usual Suspects".
