My X-3 Review

WARNING: THIS BLOG POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS OF THE RECENTLY RELEASED X-3. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT AND CARE ABOUT KEEPING YOURSELF IN SUSPENSE OF THE FINAL OUTCOME OF THE X-MEN THIS TIME AROUND, PLEASE DO NOT READ. THANK YOU.

Today I got an email from Jessica asking me whether or not I enjoyed the latest X-men movie when I went to see it last night at the midnight premiere. I actually started writing this as an email back to her, but then decided I would hate to have to repeat myself a million times over explaining why I did not think this was a very good movie. So here is the actual would-be response email:

Dear Jessie Poo,

You asked about X-3. This is what I have to say: "Barf." Just kidding... there's more. Anyways, there were a few problems with X-3... problem uno is that I was soooooo tired so I had to drink a Mountain Dew to keep me awake and then about an hour later I was literally SHAKING from all that sugar and caffeine so late at night. The second problem was that they killed off a way hot guy too early in the film which made me sad, of course. The third and biggest problem was that I felt no emotional connection to any of the characters, old or new. The new director of this film (I don't know who directed it, but Bryan Singer did the first two.) didn't do a very good job with clearly defining the plot or the characters. It was kind of just a bunch of random stuff that when put all together was a shadowy form of a movie. A lot of people we SHOULD care about die but for some reason I hardly felt bad. Instead, it was more like, wow. Ok. So they're dead. Again (in the case of Jean Grey...). Next. I wasn't emotionally involved, I didn't care, and the only thing that really made me feel slightly sad was when Mystique got de-mutanized or that hot guy Scott Summers died! (Ahhhh, he has the most beautiful blue eyes, and they finally took advantage of them for an X-men movie, even if they did kill him off right afterward.) I might go see it again, but probably not until I've convinced myself I was wrong and should give it a second chance. But I have always been a stubborn being. We'll see.

Love,
Alfalfa... er, Brookie Poo

Attitude is Everything

This is just some crazy random thing my sister showed me the other day. You've probably seen it before, but I was in shock at the coincidence. Anyways, I think it's cool. Check it out.

A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=10, K=11, L=12, M=13, N=14, O=15, P=16, Q=17, R=18, S=19, T=20, U=21, V=22, W=23, X=24, Y=25, Z=26

Spell out the word "Attitude," then find the number values of each letter. A=1, T=20, T=20, I=9, T=20, U=21, D=4, E=5. Add it all up, and what do you get? 100!! Yay! So basically, Attitude = 100. Attitude is Everything. Oh, and by the way, I got two jobs with MY amazing attitude... or something. Anyways, you should all come visit me at Best Buy when I start next week!

Let the Games Begin!

Since moving home, I have been sucked into the video-gaming world. Yes, it's true. And it's not even what some would classify as the truly "amazing" games-- I'm talking Donkey Kong Country for Super Nintendo with Jess, of course (What would you be without your Sidekick Girl?), Mario Party 6 with the Fam and Michelle (last night), and endless hours of Super Smash Brothers Melee with everybody, anybody, and even myself. I need to get a job... too bad I can't get one testing out video games or even just playing them. Maybe I can find a clinical study of what too many hours of Nintendo will do to your brain. But then again I don't think they need to run studies for that sort of thing... our youth already provide the statistics. Anyways, I've pulled myself away from the video games long enough to blog and prove to you all that I'm still alive. For now. Okay, peace out! Oh, and if anyone would like to offer me a job, I'm ready and waiting as soon as I beat the next level... or something.

Empty Chairs at Empty Tables... or Something Like That

Hey Hey Hey! Michelle and I have good news for the world to hear! Our hygenically-challenged suite mate is gone. GONE. G. O. N. E!!!! And to celebrate such a momentous occasion, we took the opportunity to play around in her room quite a bit. Again, I ask you to see the accompanying visual, made by yours truly. It's quite beautiful if I do say so myself. And let me know if I spelled "accompanying" wrong. I don't care to spell check it.
