Film Appreciation: Disappointing Today

You may be wondering why I am posting on a Thursday when I normally only do so on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The reason being so is that my Film Appreciation class was cancelled because someone had stolen the copy of the film we were watching.

We were supposed to finish watching a foreign film called Pan's Labyrinth which was filmed in Spain, directed by Guillermo del Toro, and is entirely in Spanish. However, it was stolen and class was was cancelled consequently.

Bummer... it was actually a very interesting movie.


Also, if you're at all interested in my blog, follow it so you can be up-to-date on my latest posts. I try to post atleast 1-3 times a week so my blog has new material often.

Elevators: An Awkward Moment

Today, as I was walking to class, I took the elevator with a group of people I was talking with to the sixth floor. We were having a lively conversation, discussing what we had planned for the week, Proffessor Evaluations, research projects, and whatever else we had on our minds...untill we went in the elevator.

We walked into the small cramped room and someone pushed the button labeled "6". Silently, we stood still and watched the doors close infont of us. Then nothing... we all just stood there, and waited while we zipped up to our destination without so much as a word. Everyone had their heads down, staring at the floor or the door, waiting. Waiting for those damn doors to open and release us from the elevator's death grip.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity even though it was only a few seconds, we made it to the sixth floor and stepped out. Once we were free, we resumed our conversation and headed to class.


Anyway... I want to know if any of you have experienced something similar to what I have. Also, is there a particular reason why the elevator forbids any conversation and eye contact while it carries its passengers to their chosen floor? Perhaps it's because of the cramped space and dim lighting. =/

Santa Hat

I can't remember if I posted this or not, but I bought a Santa Hat a few weeks ago. It's one of my favorite items and I try to use it whenever I can (I don't wear it while Runecrafting). However, I recently sold it and scored a 6m+ profit which I used to buy back my combat gear which consists of Bandos Chestplate, Bandos Tassets, Dragon Claws, Dragonfire Shield, and an Amulet of Fury.

Now that I have my combat stuff back, i've been killing Cockroach Soldiers for Crimson Charms in order to train my summoning to around lvl 69 (I really want to get a Fruit Bat). Currently, I'm lvl 65 Summoning and only a few levels off from my goal. Hopefully, I should have it soon....maybe I should slaughter me some Waterfiends or Rock Lobsters? =/


As you know, I love Runecrafting but I haven't done much of it lately. This is in part to the drastic price drops for various runes which is really cutting into my profits. Despite that, I still managed to acheive 87 Runecrafting a few days ago and so I only have four more levels to go untill I can craft double Natures. Experiece wise, I'm two-thirds of the way there which is kind of discouraging considering how long it has taken to get this far.


Well... that's all for now. Perhaps I'll remember what else I was going to write about, later today.

Take it easy folks.

What The Hell Happend?! (A thread of mine on Runescape)

I'm a Runecrafter and one of my favorite things to craft is Astral Runes. I can craft doubles which usually nets me a HUGE profit but recently Astrals have tanked in price. Because of this, I've had to switch to Nature Runes which I don't like crafting as much.

I know that Bonus Experience Weekend played it's part in killing prices for about everything, but damn... this is ridiculous. The current Market Price for Astral Runes is 112 Gold Pieces each. This 3gp below Pure Essense which is shocking to say the least. Fortunately, I can craft doubles and so I would still have the chance to make a slight profit.

Anyway, What the Hell happend to Astral Runes?
Will they go back up soon?
Post your thoughts,
Please.

Bonus Xp Weekend... What to do =/

It seems that there is another bonus xp weekend around the corner. I have around 25K Pure Essense left for rune crafting (Merched 100K) and so I'm deciding on what to use it for. My first thought is to just continue crafting Astral Runes and make loads of gold but then I remembered that the entire point of the xp weekend is to rack up more experience than usual. So I have decided that I will use my essense for ZMI crafting.

ZMI crafting is supposed to have the fasted xp rates, albiet being boring and not very profitable. I'm only 20K xp from 85 Rc and so I figure it would speed things up and allow me to get to 91 a little bit quicker.

I gave some thought to training magic or smithing but  funneling gold into a skill isn't my favorite thing to do and seems like a waste to me.

What do you guys plan to do for Xp weekend?

A Bit of Research

Today, I've started researching the degree in Accounting that I've been pursuing and have found some very interesting things. I discovered that the atmosphere in which an accountant would work in is that of a very friendly and people based on. I would enjoy a working place like that because I'm a people person and enjoy meeting new people often.

 I read through a book called Great Jobs for Accounting Majors ed II by Jan Goldberb which provided extreamly helpful tips on what to do after I graduate with my degree. It describes various ways to prepare resumes and things of that sort. Also, it had interviews with some people who have been an accountant for many years which is great to get a feel as to how the life of an accountant truly is.

I'm currently writing questions for a few interviews that I will conduct with some proffesors around my school who are working as an accountant. This will be very helpful to me in my pursuit of my degree and will allow me to get a better understanding of what actual accountants do.

Don't Go Into the Bathroom

"Don't Go In!" read the scrap piece of notebook paper taped on the door... I should have listened.

Nature was calling and I was desperate to answer so I opened the door and went on in. Instantly, I was greeted by the foulest stench that has ever crept forth from the bowels of hell and into my nostrils... someone had recently paid a visit to the Thunder Box and apparently didn't leave it in good condition. Begging for dear life, I quickly finished my business and stormed out of  the bathroom as fast as I possibly could.

A little warning to everyone. Always listen to the anonymous piece of paper that is taped to a bathroom door warning you not to go in... unless you REALLY need to. You have been warned.

Young Frankenstein

I've finished watching the film Young Frankenstein, Tuesday. It was an amazing comedy which was riddled with moments that deserved hearty laughter. It was directed by Mel Brooks and theactor who plays the part as Dr. Frankenstein is Gene Wilder (The guy who played the original Willy Wonka). Also, Peter Boyle (The guy who plays the old dad in Everybody Loves Raymond) plays the part as the Frankenstein monster.

The film was created in the seventies but it's in black and white which makes it feel more like the classical version. If you're the type of person that can appreciate films, you may find it interesting that the lab equipment were mostly the originals from the 1931 classical film Frankenstein.

This film is great because it doesn't go overboard with the humor (like many of today's cheap lol ers) and the plot ties into the original book as well as the classical movie. The commedy isn't entireyly composed of cheap one liners either. Theres hilarious physical comedy
(Not restricted to the "Ow my Balls" junk) and the subtle changes in facial features which creates a uniqueness that forces you to chuckle.

 Overall, it's a great movie that I would recommend you to watch.

Alas, I have done it!

Turned in that paper and a group project. That's a relieve. However, I now have another research paper for English. Will it ever end? Atleast this paper is interesting. It's a research paper over myself. Try this personality test. It's just a bunch of yes or no questions and the results will shockingly accurately describe you. It's interesting, to say the least.

On a side note, I've finally fixed my story A Wizard's Tale. It should be much easier to read now.
