So I was far too busy yesterday to even realize that my account has turned 6 years old. Utterly ridiculous.

I honestly can't believe I was 15 when I first came around here, and decided to make this account. I find it funny too because most years I'm able to catch the actual day, but not this year. I totally forgot, and didn't even notice until today. 6 years is a ridiculous long time... so to celebrate, cake for everyone!!

(Psst... the booze is under the table. But don't tell anyone.)

Rather, VERY long days and very short nights. So the last few weeks have been... interestingly challenging to say the least. Like I mentioned before, my work schedule combined with my college schedule ended up giving me a one-two punch this semester. I finally got my official, real Class B CDL in the mail this week (instead of carrying around a temporary paper) so that was pretty cool. Not to mention they change the orientation from portrait to landscape once you turn 21 (at least that's here in Texas... I have no idea if they do that in other states).

Anyways, my typical day now requires me to wake up either at 5:30 in the morning or just before 7 AM in order to make it to work at 6:30 am, or 8 am class, respectably. The main problem is, class combined with 2-3 hour long labs make it so that I go straight from about 6 in the morning until almost 8 or 9 at night with few breaks between classes and work. It's tough, but I'm handling it. It could be much worse considering I only work about 12 hours a week.

Besides that, I haven't really had much time to do anything... except finally give in to my TV woes. I bought myself an Insignia 32" LCD HDTV about a week ago at Best Buy, and boy was it worth it. It cost me $350 to get it, as well as another additional 100 dollars to get me a Blu-ray player. I know it sounds like I just spent a lot of money (which is true) but hell, it's way overdue. My parents don't have a single HDTV back at home (they have CRT's that weigh about as much as my car lol).

I think the awesomeness which is a 32" TV and a Blu-ray player in my apartment more than makes up for waking up early every single day of the week.

So something I've forgotten to mention... I've been playing lots and lots of games over the last month. Starting first with Left 4 Dead 2 that my roommate got back in November. Then I got Assassin's Creed back at home and beat that while I was at home, and now coming back to school, my roommate has bought Assassin's Creed II and Halo 3 ODST, so I'm playing those now. So at the moment its pretty much game overload, though I got most of the itch to play these games out now.

It's a good thing too, tomorrow I start once again on the cycle of classes, with ungodly horrible hours at work (see my last blog lol). That would not be a good thing if I hadn't already beat all those games except for ACII, but my goal is to beat ACII before things get too heavy for my classes. I'm sure I can do it.

That said, I'm not too sure how this semester is going to go. I'm taking 17 hours so it's the most I've ever taken, but I'm getting quite a bit better at gauging what I need to do to get a 3.0+ GPA. I managed a 3.0 last semester, and that was with no GPA fluff classes. We will see how this goes. Wish me luck!!

Aside from that, everything else is about normal, really nothing else to blog about. Just my usual shenanigans, as you can see. (Random note... I think that's the first time I've ever used the word shenanigans. )

War of the Worlds
War of the Worlds creates a very powerful, renewed image of the whole alien invasion genre, with its larger, more realistic scope and its attention to detail... and its tight action. Add to that underlying superb acting, and an uncanny sense of...

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie
Augh, for its time it was massively popular... but Power Rangers now... look elsewhere for your entertainment, especially if you're old enough to have watched this movie when it first came out.

Crocodile
Crocodile is nothing more than a common, yet somewhat better B-Movie... with its less than stellar effects, somewhat goofy lines and such... it doesn't get too far, but its still a decent budget film for cable TV.

The plot is overused...

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl comes as a fun little adventure, full of all sorts of satisfying action and humor, without coming out as overly cheesy or overused.

The Matrix Revolutions
The Matrix Revolutions is more or less an acceptable and exciting conclusion to the up and coming trilogy... but it certainly isn't going to help considering there's more confusion to go around.
