role models, max payne, saw v, and life

well as is obvious i'm limited on time and haven't been able to post too incredibly much.

movies worth going to the theaters: role models - 9/10 snaps. hilarious. we're going to make shirts. that's how funny it was. i think you'll enjoy it more if you're of the gaming, d&d, classic rock persuasion.

max payne - 6.5/10 snaps. was a lot more impressive than i thought going in. had a constantine-ish feel but unlike constantine max is apparently high most of the time. doesn't quite follow the game storyline but was entertaining nonetheless.

movies that can wait for video/dvd [do they even make video anymore?] or that are already on dvd: saw v - 5.5/10 snaps. if, as i was informed at the box office, this is part of a series of 8 films, then it reminds me a bit of saw iii which was kinda crummy until you viewed saw iv. let's hope they were telling the truth. there were a lot of questions answered about the others if you're a fan of the films.

madagascar [the first one] - 7/10 snaps. was really quite funny. the penguins were hilarious. lots of references to older stuff that kids would never get so the movie isn't a waste for adults. was a tad bit short for my taste but how long do kids' attention spans last these days anywho?

everquest 2's new expansion came out this week so can anyone guess what we've been doing? the shadow odyssey seems pretty cool but we're quest addicts so since i've personally been maxxed on achievement for about 8 months now we're hitting the rise of kunark zones and finishing up all those quests we refused to do when we hit the max.

sean and i dressed up as hogwarts' students for halloween. we went all out. i'll have to post a picture at some point. oh and obviously we were from the gryffindor house. duh...

teaching the last of my labs for the semester this week. this lab is actually quite fun as we're looking at the effects of alcohol on water fleas and checking out some fresh pig organs. all we have left is the practical the week after thanksgiving. i think i'll miss my students but i suppose next semester i get all new ones...

registered for my courses next semester. taking a unix/linux comp sci course, evolutionary biology, and a grant writing course. i think next semester looks like fun. anywho i'm off to school for the day. have a great one everybody!

enjoy the silence.
