MF Jones

We just checked out Horrible Bosses and man it was hilarious.  Starring Jason Bateman (Arrested Development), Charlie Day (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia) and Jason Sudekis (Saturday Night Live) these guys made this movie almost more funny than Hangover and Bridesmaids.

The actual horrible bosses were played by Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston & Colin Ferrell and my favorite was Aniston.  I feel Sudekis definitely ran this movie with his asshole like ways as a comedian.  The cameos by Jamie Foxx and Ron White were also great.

This definitely a great film to check out in theaters or later.

Check It Out!

New Book: Do you know White People?

Well I admit I don't read hardly any books willingly.  I mostly read books issued to me by classes and work, but my wife gets me a new book called, Stuff White People Like: The Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions.  I found it very interesting, but then shortly after she gave it to me she hijacks it and start reading it to her mom over the phone.

I guess I will read it later once she eventually puts it down.  It seems like an interesting read for a short book.  I make post some of the stuff from the book.

Later..........

The Cool Weapons

So went out to check out Transformers 3 in IMAX 3D.  May I start in saying that Cinemark 17 & IMAX in North Dallas, TX is very boo now?  It is too cramped and hot.  I am done with that location.  The staff is none to nice either.  I am ready to try AMC's IMAX screens.  Also, wanting to check out Colleyville Cinema + Grille.

Ok.  Back on track.  Transformers: Dark of the Moon was very well done.  It was a bit too long, but the action and storyline was great.  It was cool to hear Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek) as Sentinal Prime (A Transformer I never heard of until yesterday).  They also broaden their cast some including all-stars like John Malkovich (Red), Ken Jeong (The Hangover - he's still doing gangsta boy), Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy) and Frances McDormand (Fargo).  Nice work Bay and Spielberg.

As for the Transformers themselves, the debut of Laserbeak was awesome.  Didn't know he was a chameleon, but was very effective as an assassin.  Also the debut of Shockwave and his "little" pet was pretty awesome (As Lennox points out, "Why do they have the cool weapons?").  Kind of wish Ravage would have came back.  :-(

Even though Hugo Weaving did a great job as Megatron, I really wish Frank Welker (the original voice) would have kept doing it.  Oh well, Welker was busy enough voicing both Soundwave and Shockwave.  Also, why could they use the autotune voice for Soundwave?  That was one of the best parts of Transformers.

Overall the movie was great.  *SPOILER ALERT* Very sad to see 5 of the major Decepticons fall, but I guess the series has to end somehow.  Or did it?

Go check it out!  I give this an A.  Again, nice work Bay and Spielberg.

Dark Anime


So while taking a break from studying, I just checked out a new anime just released on Adult Swim called,  "Duarara!!".  I'm trying to take it in and it may take a while.  Kind of like Death Note, which turned out to be really good. 

From he same production company who brought Fullmetal Alchemist and Rurouni Kenshin, Amniplex brings a dark anime that takes place in Modern Tokyo (or Kyoto).  Looks like it follow the life of some kids, a Russian sushi worker, some bad new people and a headless motorcyclist.


It seems a bid fascinating and I will continue to check it out.  More later.

Until then...............

Final stretch.......For Summer '11

Well, it's the 4th of July and I am up in the middle of the night.  Slept from 10 pm to 3am (5 hours).   Going to need more in order to make the events for later today.  When I woke up pretty much one thing popped in my head:  Homework!  I never thought I would be like this with my classes and I'm just going for an Associate's now.  I can only imagine what my Bachelor's and hopefully Master's will be like.  My wife says that if I do two classes like this in a 6 week span and do very well, then a normal semester with up to 4 classes should be cake.  Hmmmmmm........we shall see.

Anyways, I will get to work after I get some grub.  Getting very hungry.  I have 4 assignments, a discussion board, and a final exam to finish by the 7th for my computer class.  And a couple of short essays for my Music Lit class.

Did I say before that my instructors are very cool before?  I never seen folks flex themselves so much to help you get the best grade possible.

Well, better hop to it.

Early on a Sunday morning

So I slept for 5.5 hours and my body decided to wake up.  So since it did that I decided to get jump on my school work.  I'm doing very well in my Computer Apps class and learning a lot in a 6 week span.  As for this Music Lit course, It am just about lost.  I just don't get this instructor's format.  I'm trying to keep up, but it's kind of rough.  The funny thing is that it is actually less work that the computer class.  Pretty confusing.

I'm going to keep at it, but I don't think I will achieve that great of a grade.  As long as I pass is my theory on this one.  Late last week my wife asked if I could take a break from school work and I thought it was odd given she was the main one pushing to do this, but she was right.  Other than work and sleep, this is the only other thing I do most of the time.  So much, I neglect the housework some days.  Still trying to balance this out.

Only 2 weeks left for this semester.  Kind of wished I picked up another class, thinking on that.
