Happy 4-Day Weekend!

I have finally been able to restore my iPod after it was out of comission for a month! Yeah!
Yesterday, I saw "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" for the second time after watching "Temple of Doom" and "The Last Crusade" with my friends. It was pretty good; I liked the chase scenes and the swordfight in the jungle, but the ending was a little too weird for me. If you want more in-depth reviews and analysis, go to the superblog.
Also, I have just created a facebook account.
EDIT: I added the "Keepr of the Reaper" at the bottom, in case it's deleted off the superblog.

Kids, This Is Why You Don't Sleep Through World History

I just added a video at the bottom of the blog from something a few nights ago, where Chris Matthews tears a radio host named Kevin James apart for defending Bush's recent comments about appeasement. For those of you who don't know, Bush recently attacked Barack Obama by relating Obama's promise of talking to, and trying to reason with, terrorist groups to the 'appeasement' policies of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain shortly before World War II.
Trust me, just watch it. One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

No, Boots, I Have Never Seen the Painting "Son of Man" Before

Well, I had an interesting weekend. On Friday, my dad bought Guitar Hero III for the Wii, and it's awesome! I can now compare it to Rock Band, since I own both games. I would give Guitar Hero 3 a slight edge, simply because you only need to play it by yourself to have fun, whereas Rock Band is most fun when you have a full band playing. However, both games are awesome, and I highly recommend both of them.
On Saturday night, I saw "Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" with some friends. It was pretty good. I have read the book before, but it was so long ago that I didn't really remember anything (except Reepicheep).
Today, we had the in-class essay in English, and it was pretty easy. I predicted the prompt about a week ago (it was really obvious) and finished in half an hour. However, now I'm kind of worried since I finished it so early. Oh, well.
Also, I just added the webcomic "FreakAngels" to the sidebar. I really enjoy it; it's like an actual comic, and is written by Warren Ellis, a transhumanist comic book writer. I highly recommend it; it's not 'gag-of-the-week' like Bored and Evil or Achewood, but instead has an interesting and complex story.

Join the War Effort

Today, I learned that my classes for next year have a scheduling conflict that will prevent me from taking Web Development next year. Oh, well.
Needless to say, Bizarro World stands allied with the Last Alliance of Nerds and Blogs in the forthcoming Blog Wars. I have added links to the various affiliations, including the Blog Wars Negotiation Blog.
Hmmm...I meant to say something remotely interesting in this post, but that venture appears to have failed. I'm kinda tired anyway. Later.
And don't forget to support the Last Alliance!

Yes, Mike, I Still Update My Blog (Ha Ha)

This post has two purposes: one, to prove to Mike that I still post on this blog, even in the wake of the genesis of the super blog; and two, to kind of sum up what I'm doing.
My poetry project is almost done; I've just gotta wrap up the bibliography and redo some responses, which were done incorrectly. The emulation was easier than I thought. Thankfully, this will all be said and done soon.
Also, since most of my friends didn't stay until the end of the credits in "Iron Man", I might see it again this weekend. Sweet!
Also, I mentioned this on the superblog, but I'm stealing Mike's whole "put songs that're stuck in my head in the labels" thing.

The Love Song of C.M.Holub

This poetry project is really annoying.
I feel like T.S. Eliot's character J. Alfred Prufrock, trapped in a constant state of procastination. I have completed three reader responses for the poetry project, and one paraphrase (I'll have to redo the paraphrase, though, cause I think I did it wrong).
I'm really fearing the emulation the most, because in order to write like T.S. Eliot (my poet), I would have to quote Dante constantly (in the original Italian, no less), and make thousands of references to books about the King Arthur legends that no one has ever heard of before. UGH.
Anyway, I saw "Iron Man" over the weekend, and may see it again next weekend. For the in-depth reviews of that movie, check out the super blog.
Also, I thought I heard Maffey say in class today that the satire article is due on Friday, the same day as the poetry project! Does anyone know if that's true? 'Cause if so, that would really suck...

It is Implied That I Am Drinking This Wine (L Is Dead)

WE FINALLY GOT OUR ODYSSEY PROJECTS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got a higher grade than I expected (I expected a B, and got an A-) so I'm happy.
As a result, since Maffey has already graded my other blog, I will no longer call myself L.
Also, the super nerd blog is up and running:
Check it out, if you dare.
