Better Than Anything Else Out There...
If you too have been less than impressed with new movies lately (besides Horton Hears a Who...that was great), go rent 2 Days in Paris. And no, it is not a sequel to One Night in Paris. Which, if you haven't seen though, is worth the rental.
So ignore "21", which is the most predictable movie in years, and rent this lil gem.

The Boycott is Over
Until this week, I had viewed those that love Guitar Hero in the same light as people who want to see Fool's Gold and don't watch 30 Rock. My only real experience with the game was playing once at my cousins and watching the very funny South Park episode "Guitar Queer-o". But now, things have changed. After playing about 7 games in a row and getting 98% accuracy and a 173 note streak on Heart's Barracuda, I am in.

iPod Shuffle
In support of the Writers' Strike, I decided to not blog for a few months. Just kidding, my life was just too boring to find anything to blog about. But thanks to the Blog of the Week idea and the countless beggings to return (okay, maybe just one), I am back.
With my iPod on shuffle, here are the first 10 songs (no cheating, promise):
1. "Powerman" - The Kinks
2. "Mr. Brightside (Jacques LuCont's Thin White Duke Remix)" - The Killers
3. "Cue the Pulse to Begin" - Burnside Project
4. "Once Around the Block" - Badly Drawn Boy
5. "Forgiven" - Alanis Morissette
6. "Clear the Day" - Imogen Heap
7. "Me & Julio Down By The School Yard" - Paul Simon
8. "Electric Feel" - MGMT
9. "Chills" - Ben Lee
10. "Say Something" - Mariah Carey with Snoop Dogg
Well there it is! And none I am embarrassed by. Except I don't think I know the Ben Lee song. Ooops.

I'm not interesting enough to have 100...
20 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW OR CARE TO KNOW ABOUT ME
20. For the 4.5 years I was at BYU, I never once went to class without showering. And I had class everyday.
19. I wish I lived in London.
18. I enjoy book shopping for than book reading. I own so many books I have never read. I always end up reading past favorites.
17. I don't eat meat off the bone. No ribs, wings, or anything barbaric like that.
16. I know way to much about anything pop culture related (movies, tv, celebrities).
15. I have the creepiest memory ever. I often lie when meeting people and say we haven't met before when I know perfectly well what class we had together, where they sat, and who they talked to.
14. When I was younger I got trapped between a cheerio and a blade of grass. Honestly. Granted, it was at Disneyworld's Honey I Shrunk the Kids part, but whatever.
13. I broke my wrist in junior high by running backwards and slipping on a fruit rollup.
12. Whenever I am home (even if it is only for 30 mins) I change into sweatshorts and a tee shirt. When it comes time to leave again, I never put back on what I was wearing before.
11. I wear polo shirts like everyday.
10. If I don't scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef before I die, I will be pissed.
9. I am scared of heights but not flying. Even watching a movie with heights gives me the chills.
8. One of my TAs last year asked me what country I was from. He thought I was from Eastern Europe.
7. I cry in movies that have dogs. If you ever want to see me bawl, watch Fox & the Hound with me.
6. If I do ever have kids, I think I am going to adopt.
5. My favorite pastime is eating. I can eat more than most people I know.
4. I believe there are only 5 people in this world (that I know) that I honestly hate.
3. I screen phone calls. A lot.
2. I am the world's formost expert on the genetic diversity of Phacelia argillacea. Like really.
1. I honestly have zero life ambition. I would be totally content never working another day of my life. When people ask, "if you could do anything, what would you do?" My response: "NOTHING."
