2011 Fall Semester Around the Corner

Well, my Sophomore year is coming around, about two weeks from now, so I'm preparing for some of my classes by reading up on some books I still have. I'm really looking forwards to my next Accounting class and I was lucky enough to get the professor I had last time. However, there is one class that I just know I'm going to hate... Biology. I've always hated science class and I don't think that's about to change anytime soon. I don't know what it is about it, really. I think it's just that there is so much to it and so many difficult words to memorize.  Still, I'm overall excited about going back to class soon.

Hmm... I really have to get back to my usual sleeping schedule.

93 Runecrafting & New Runescape Update

It's been a while since I've talked about RS. I've been Runecrafting for a good while and am now lvl 93 which allows me to assist up to lvl 93 effigies. However, I haven't been training it very much recently, aside from effigies and peng points. I'm more interested in getting 80 slayer so that I can wield the Abyssal Vine Whip when it comes out soon. The new whip is obtainable by killing a new slayer monster (80 slayer required) which has a chance to drop a vine that you can attach to your whip. This vine will increase the whip's stats, add a new special attack, and even add poison, so I'm really looking forward to getting it.


Note:
Sorry for the shitty writing. I'm in a rush :O Also, it's hot as fuck atm.

Gotta Love Netflix :)

A few weeks ago, I used a free one-month subscription for Netflix but didn't actually use it often in the start. To be honest, I nearly forgot that I had a subscription for a while... until I cracked open my old Film Appreciation book (Couldn't sell most of my books so I just kept them) and started to read through a few chapters. Ever since, I usually watch a movie or an episode of Nip/Tuck a day to help pass the time. Recently, I've watched Kick-Ass and Memento which are both very great movies.

You may have seen a few commercials on Kick-Ass and thought it was just another lame ass comic book movie, like I did, but you would be dead wrong. Within the first minute of the film, I was laughing my ass off and I knew that I was going to enjoy it. The movie itself is a mock-super-hero movie/drama, but not your average one. It's much more profane and violent than what you might be used to, but it does give the same message to the audience as Spider-Man or Batman does. 

You would recognize many of the actors which include: Nicholas Cage, that guy from Super Bad (McLovin), that one dude from the Hot-tub Time Machine (kid who starts to disappear),, the girl from Let Me In, and that tall kid with curly hair from Drill-bit Taylor.   

Memento was also amazing. It's about a man named Lenord (played by Guy Pierce ) who suffers from a short-term memory condition which he got after a head injury when he tried to save his wife from being murdered. Because of his condition, he can not form new memories and so he must keep constant notes of everything he does and who he meets. Throughout the story, he tries to track down and kill the man who killed his wife and hit him in the head which caused his condition.

This film was probably one of the most unique movies I have ever seen in my life. It is a one-of-a-kind movie that will probably be watched a hundred years from now. It's so unique because the plot is not linear in that it starts at the end and works its way back, but that's not all. Each segment leads into the segment you just finished watching and allows the viewer to feel just how Lenord does by them not knowing what preceded each segment (I.E. Short-Term memory loss). Also, there are essentially two halves to the plot: one starts in the beginning  of the story and is in black and white, while the other half starts at the end and is in color. Eventually, at the end (technically the beginning) these two halves meet and the view finally discovers what has been going on with Lenord.

Anyway, this film was nominated for many awards and won the award for best editing. If you're looking for a great way to kill some time, check out the film Memento; you won't be disappointed.
