Good thoughts about She’s Out of My League

I knew that I was going to see this movie when I first saw the preview, and learned about the basic premise.  Not just for the simple fact that it looked like it was going to be a funny flick, but that dorks like me would be able to somewhat relate to the premise, and if there’s one thing that makes a story enjoyable is some degree of realism.  She’s Out of My League was everything I had hoped for, and I can say without any hesitation that I loved it.  It’s not going to be winning any Oscars any time soon, but fuck that- I had a smile on my face all the way to the ending credits.

And crazy dreams too

It’s like now I have an outlet to describe wacky dreams I have, which in itself is a little odd, since I thought I had the tendency to forget my dreams upon waking up.

But after asserting my dominance over RE5: Desperate Escape some more, last night, I had a bizarre dream.  Now the details have gotten a little blurry since waking up, having my cereal, and making my coffee, while I was debating on whether or not to potentially bore others with this dreamstate drivel, but I vividly remember gorgeous night skies, and attempting to take pictures with them on my point-and-shoot camera, and seeing them actually come out beautifully, but then it got weirder when I went to a friend’s house when it was warm and nice outside, and when I was about to leave, it was beginning to snow outside.  For some reason, I washed my hair with a garden hose before coming back inside, where I ran into a house-sitting Wayne Newton, who was angrily asking who I was, and what I was doing there.  Once we were all hunky-dory friends, apparently I woke up a red cobra when I picked up the hose.  Wayne Newton nonchalantly explained that yeah, they were around here, and began agitating it with a car’s antenna.  And then the cobra lunged at me, and that’s when I woke up to one of those intense, startled body jerks, and here I sit now.

The Crazies, in brief

Just a few days ago, I watched The Crazies. And compared to Shutter Island and Alice in Wonderland, I liked this movie the best.  Sometimes, I just like simple, and that’s exactly what The Crazies was – simple. Not a blockbuster, or something with a crazy and thought-provoking plot.   The previews, the plot, and the execution, there was hardly anything to think about.  Simple, survival, horror.

I have nothing left to prove

As it pertains to Resident Evil 5, I have pretty much done it all now.  Earlier today, I did what I thought was the impossible, and I conquered Desperate Escape on Professional difficulty, and I now have all 60 out of 60 available XBOX achievements.  The S ranking is a little bit of a surprise, considering I figured I would be tanked by the great length of time I took to complete the mission, but apparently, my impeccable accuracy, the fact that I killed everything I could out of necessity and not for fun, and racked up a godly amount of bonus stars was enough for me to round out the 400 times I was killed, and the total 2:30:58 time needed to finish.

Best highway sign ever

My only question is how in the eff did a vandal manage to get up there, and apply what I’m imagining are vinyl/magnetic/static graphics?

Oh well.  Ho-BO-ken!!
