I have never loved a dragon so much in my life.
Rebecca and I watched How to Train Your Dragon tonight. We didn’t see it in 3D (see Roger Ebert’s opinion on 3D) but we both really liked it! Dreamworks generally sucks when it comes to animated movies, but they really hit the mark with this one. They did a great job with Toothless’s personality.
Try to ignore the terrible Shrek trailer.
I saw Nina, David and Elsie tonight,...

– Roger Ebert in his review of “Ponyo”
Sincerely, if you haven’t seen “Ponyo”, rent it. Or just buy it. Animation at its finest.

I finally watched this week’s Lost.

blaaargh:
Neptune may have polished off a super-Earth that once roamed the outer solar system and stolen its moon to boot. The brutal deed could explain mysterious heat radiating from the icy planet and the odd orbit of its moon Triton.
Neptune’s own existence was a puzzle until recently. The dusty cloud that gave birth to the planets probably thinned out further from the sun. With building...

Awesome.
I kept getting one bad person on my team, though, and it only takes one bad person to screw the whole group.

I’m sitting in a hotel lobby with Micah Ruelle, it’s about 5:00 in the morning, and the Egyptian gentleman on staff—Talaat B.—has been telling us about his life. And I sort of want to go home and cry and understand all of these things that I don’t understand. Is this because I’m exhausted, or because this stranger’s story has in some way changed me?

How can something shipped from a location six hours away by car take a week to arrive at my house? Seriously, are they carrying my package on foot from Campbellsville, KY to my door?
USPS, this is why nobody likes you.

seen from a great enough distance i cannot be seen i feel this as an extremely distinct sensation of feeling like shit; the effect of small children is that they use declarative sentences and then look at your face with an expression that says, ‘you will never do enough for the people you love’; i can feel the universe expanding and it feels like no one is trying hard enough ...

Mid-Term Update
Finished my paper for Contemporary Drama at like 6:30 a.m. on Thursday. Slept until 10:30, went to class and took my Contemporary Drama mid-term.
Got home at 3:30 p.m., ate a meal at 4:00, slept from roughly 5:30 to 8:30.
Woke up, spent a little sanity time. Now I’m working on a paper for Film Appreciation.
I’m shooting for 8 hours of sleep tonight. Wish me luck!
EDIT: 2:31 a.m. on...
