Cheney v. Edwards (2004): very heated if you ask me. first off, both did well, however i think tricky dick jr outdid edwards by just a hair. edwards had some really good points to shut dick up, however he is just not as experienced as dick is in this sort of thing. dick is as smart as can be too. i guess you can't win them all as far as VP's go. i hated joe lieberman too, but loved his running mate. part of me really wishes that kerry had chosen howard dean as his VP. oh well. dick seemed to be the most knowledgeable, however would completely avoid most things having to do with haliburton and his own voting record. edwards should have also stuck with the questions. i don't think he intentionally avoided them like dick, but would just keep going on tangents. and watching edwards at the end was like watching your kid crap his pants during a school play. he's just a big dork, but i think he held his ground and composure amazingly well. dick would have had me crying like a baby. i've always believed that dick's got the brain to win the votes and bush has the, well, haven't figured out what he has. in the end, bush needs dick (no pun intended...honest!) and edwards needs kerry. vote for kerry.
James and the Giant Peach (1996): really, really dumb. was expecting a close repeat of the greatness that is nightmare before christmas, but it fell waaay short. as i said to someone else talking about it, it lost the uniqueness and inventiveness that nightmare had. still same concept yes, but this one was strictly for the kiddies. the songs aren't as good and neither is the stop motion. i could see if this movie had come out first before nightmare because nightmare is by far superior. either way, the kid in the movie sucks bad and the live action stuff is gay. don't see it.
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962): this movie ended up being sooo good. at first you don't really know what the story is about until almost an hour into it, but its cool because its got so many little stories going on here and there and gives a good time to really develop the characters. its probably one of the few "feel good" black and white movies that is good for kids and adults alike. really good messages and all the crap. even a nice touch of suspense. i was literally sitting on the edge of my seat (couch) for the end. could be because i didn't have my contacts in, but lets pretend it was for the movie. and i have to say, the way gregory peck looks like, acted, talked, and argued in court is exactly like our teacher stott harston. to the freaking bone jigga. i might buy this in the future, but for now, see it.
jessIE and i started the LSAT class last night. forked over $795 for the class too (insert knife into heart here). but it will be sooo worth it. its gonna be so freaking fun to learn it all and do the work. not excited that another one of my nights is now taken up AND half of my saturdays now too. i'll be going tuesdays from 6-9 and saturdays to take practice tests from 12 to who knows. either way, it will be fun and exciting because as jessIE said, after so much talk, its finally happening. we even got cool stuff with the class too. i can't wait to walk around in my new Ace shirt, drinking from my new Ace water bottle, that i carry in my new Ace backpack. just kidding. i'm not a retard people.
on a cool note, kim bought a car yesterday. 98 green honda civic 2 door. should be nice. haven't seen it yet, but sounds nice. got a fatty exhaust on it that kim might take off. we'll see though. pics to follow as soon as i get a look at the car. been a pain in the butt only having one coche for the last few days. i had to go back to *gasp* taking the bus yesterday!! brought back a lot of memories.
i'm doing good on my running now. for some reason just had that random run where i was about to have a heart attack. its been pretty smooth each night since though. getting a little nippy out. might have to start wearing a sweater, but still not cold enough to stop each night. of course i'm not seeing any results and prolly never will. i feel like i've been in utah too long. almost like its growing on me. i've actually for the first time got some really good friends now. friends that are actually of equal to my denver peeps. starting to get scared that i'm losing touch big time with colorado, kinda like i did with fresno oh so many years back. i know there are a ton of friends from high school that i'll never see again, what about guys like jer or dustin, or ryan for that matter? what if we never cross paths again? its a sad thing and i don't know what to do. i wouldn't want that to ever happen, but i feel helpless. memories seem wasted if they can't be shared with those from the memories.
