There’s another psycho on the crane - SHOOT TO KILL!

So my dad and I took a trip to Blockbuster. The only two movies I had a passing interest in where out of stock. We also spent forever looking around for movies we wanted. I ended up leaving with nothing, and my dad settled on some chick flick and some other movie. I do not miss Blockbuster one bit.
Wow. Episode 3 was excellent. It makes up for the last two without a doubt. I think it may even be better than any of the original three, but I haven’t made up my mind on that yet. The soundtrack was excellent and worked right into the movie. The only downer was that we spent two and a half hours waiting for the thing to start, but we got good seats. Driving home was amazing - windows down, moon-roof open, music blaring, and less than a dozen cars on the road. Wow, what a great night. Oh and the movie was longer than I expected. It was also hard not to miss the politics of the movie.
So Star Wars is tomorrow night and I’m doing the nerdcore thing and seeing at midnight with a bunch of people. Should I wear a “Trek is Better” or “Trek Forever” shirt? And no, your plastic lightsaber won’t hurt me!
It’s over! It’s over! The pain and suffering is…. gone…. at least for a few months.

There’s more, but that’s what I remember being on the TWENTY ONE page test. What made the test so bad is that a fourth or so of the test was the last few weeks of material - that we never did any homework on, let alone code anything. The book was also lacking in the code for the last few weeks of stuff. I took the WebCT survey for the extra point on our final grade, and told the professors they were horrible teachers, breakout was a waste of time, the homework was too GUI centric, and that the only redeeming thing about the course was the decent book we used. Thank God that shit is over for now.
I just stuffed five or six Crispy Cream donuts down my throat and it was awesome.

<rant>I thought it’d take a minute out of my busy writing session to complain about minimum page counts. Minimum page counts inspire BS, plain and simple. I’m writing a research proposal and I’ve written a fairly solid paper, but I’ve got to write another page (two paragraphs). I know one thing about these two paragraphs so far- they’ll be total fluff. They will add no value to the paper, they’ll probably even detract from flow the paper developed. What’s the point? It wastes both teacher and student’s time. </rant>
