It’s rare that I see movies in theaters, and though I thought this movie is worthy of being seen. It wasn’t theater watching worthy. I would watch it again, but a DVD would suffice.

I need to give Limity Snickets a try when I have the time. Although I think I read the first book in a bookstore one time.

Yeah. I saw a lol cats review of Twilight one time. The whole filmed in ‘Blue Filter’ and mopie attitude was too much for me.

I have seen Shutter Island. I enjoyed it. I think I’ve seen The Departed at least 5 times. It ran on HBO when I was at home for the summer. I haven’t seen Girl/ Dragon Tattoo…yet.

All of your posts are starting to run together and it’s hard to remember what we’ve talked about already (ie I’m getting old!). Have you seen Shutter Island? I thought that was a pretty good movie. Maybe not The Departed good, but still good. Have you heard about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? Doug and I saw that at our art cinema a month or so ago. I think we’re going to see the sequel, The Girl who Played with Fire, tomorrow for my bday. I haven’t read the books yet. I read both Twilight and New Moon last year and I feel stupid for reading those. Haven’t seen either movie.

I like this summary of New Moon with lol cats.

I watched Inception. It was…good. But not Batman good.

Clear, I dont think there’s much on my “Wall”. I do all my personally blogging here, but it should be available now.

This weekend, I must have watched 12-14 hours of movies and TV programs. I dont regret it tho. There is a Korean drama called ‘Dae Janggeum” that I downloaded. Each episode is an hour long, and it’s edge of the seat…I watch with subtitles of course. And I watched a couple movies on the TV. Saw Hancock, Harry Potter, and bits of Twilight. I couldn’t stand Twilight, and I felt stupid for watching it.

So how hot is hot? I could look it up I suppose. Does the “discomfort index” also take in account things like humidity and whether or not there’s any wind, etc.? I guess I could look that up on my own too. But sometimes it’s nice to find out from someone who just knows!

The weather is great here! It almost feels like Fall is coming in fact (from the cool morning temps). We’ll probably have one more heat wave in August. (Hopefully!) It’s been a very cool summer so far. We totally squandered our chance to float down the river a few weeks ago. Since the river water is so cold, it’s best to do that when the temps are in the high 80′s so you’re not shivering the whole way.

“Discomfort Status:Stable”

I’m glad I took a taxi to school today. Because, now, it is black and stormy outside. The Vice Principle just flicked off the office lights to prove how dark it is.

There is a teacher in the office who doesn’t wear headphones. He plays annoying flash games and sometimes listens to music. One of these Korean teachers needs to give him a smack, b/c I dont think I can do it.

“Discomfort Status: Rising”

In my classes, I’ve been watching Kick Ass. Yeah, it has a lot of fowl language, but my students don’t pick up on it. The Korean subtitles dont have all the curse words either.

My buddy, Dave, that did the 50 miler with me saw “last Airbender” at the theaters and was disappointed too. He said the acting was cheesy. Just a real let down. It looked good on the previews. I’m kinda looking forward to seeing the new Predator movie. I ususally don’t care for those, but this one looks…. viewable.

It also hurts when foreigners mispronounce typical Korean foods. I know they dont know any better, but I want to correct them each time. It’s “Win-gardian-levi-oh-sa” Not “Win-gardian-levi-oh-saaah”

After hearing poor reviews of the “Last Airbender” movie, I had to see it for myself. 30 minutes in and I was liek “I have better things to do.” Delete.

I’m just saying. Fire is hot. Fire hurts. Ergo, I dont touch the fire. 50 miles hurts my feet. My feet bleed. Ergo, I’m not going to run 50 miles.

But, I do understand the opposite side that you’re pushing your mental toughness. It’s an accomplishment that can make you physically and more mentally strong.

The accomplishments of heroes and champions are inspiring! I’ll just do my butt clinches. Maybe I can crack a walnut in my cheeks one day.

I don’t know why I would want to put my body through that kind of physical endurement for the self gratification of just because

I think you really answered your own question. Some people like to see how far they can push their body…. other people like to sit and do butt clinches. What seems pointless to me is the people who go to the gym too “look good”. Who cares what you look like if your overall limits have never been tested.

Toy Story 3 is a good movie. I didn’t see some of it as Saylor got a little fussy. It was her first movie she saw in the theaters.

I haven’t watched any World Cup. I just don’t have the time. I’ll finish this comment later. Saylor has her monster whine going on now. I can’t focus.

And the last 2 weeks of vacation I have grad classes.

RAAAAAAGGGGGGEEEE!!!!!!!

Shahzad said he lit a fuse and waited 2 1/2 to five minutes for the bomb to erupt. “I was waiting to hear a sound but I didn’t hear a sound. … So I walked to Grand Central and went home,” he said.

This deserves a Mers “…Meh Award”.

At the school, a book distributor comes around handing out free textbooks to the teachers. ‘The Godfather’ just throws them in a stack in the corner. He doesn’t look at them. I’m going to look for useful ones I could use for studying English-Korean, and take them home with me.
