pearl harbor sucked, and i miss you

hooray for saturdays. it's really nice to just be able to sleep in (noon today!) and not have to worry about being awake for classes. especially when you're up till 3:30. i realize that's not overly late, especially for BJ, but still later than i stay up most nights. got in some fantasy trip again, first time in a few weeks. pat was gone to a programming competition down in oregon, but everybody else--jason, andrew, myself, and the gm mark--was able to make it, and we got in a good 3 1/2 or 4 hours of gaming. which is actually relatively little... i remember when we first got the game started (well, a different version... we started over this year) last year around fall break, we put in about 11 hours the first day. it was pretty awesome.

i was also able to get in several movies over this last week, some i hadn't seen before, and some that i had that were still awesome. first off, as the title of the post suggests, is "team america: world force". it was a hilarious movie... ripped into movie stars (members of the Film Actors Guild, or FAG) for thinking they were qualified to talk politics, made fun of michael moore, and managed a fairly humorous portrayal of terrorists. as long as you don't mind horrible amounts of swearing, crude/sexual content, and puppets having sex (i would recommend skipping that scene... *shudder....), it's worth watching. if you decide not to watch it... well, you're really not missing much.

i also finally saw "so i married an axe murderer", which is freaking hilarious. a must see, especially for fans of mike myers and/or crazy old scottish people.

watched "hellboy" with mark last night, waiting for andrew to get back from a speaker he went to and jason to finish some homework. it was decent, but i would probably class it as a "b" movie. good action and a decent plot. worth watching, but not worth paying to watch. then after tripping we watched "dark city", a fairly strange movie, but a very good one. it really left me wishing i was the main character, if for no other reason than that he woke up to find out that he was married to a very attractive character portrayed by jennifer connelly. why can't something like that happen to me? probably because she's 14 years older than me, is already married and has a kid. oh well, her loss.

and then there's the other fun part about saturdays: having plenty of time to do homework. wait, that's not fun. but still necessary, so i'm off. later all.
