The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966): the last movie of the trilogy and boy did it deliver. never have i seen a movie that uses music to such an advantage. kinda like how kill bill did it, the music nearly makes the movie. and if there was ever a model gun draw scene, this would top the cake. you wouldn't think you could get excited over a gun draw, but then again you'd never think i'd be living in utah, so anything is possible. it is unreal and worthy of my highest praise. when you all go out and buy them, make sure to buy them all at the same time or in order. they all have to lead up to this one. eastwood deserves the world on a platter for making these movies. the truly original badass with a cigar. buy them all.
Ray (2004): a very high quality movie. technically, it is amazing with all the different film stocks and use of colors and real footage of back in the day and flashbacks. if you are really into film and want to see how to apply all that garbage you learned in your film class, then you have to see it. story wise, its really interesting. i didn't realize ray charles was a man-whore and a junky. the movie is just all about him shootin up H and banging all his backup singers. the movie also drags a ton. try to stay awake if you see it. music of course is really good and his performance is perfect. oscar quality as everyone has been saying. one of the only movies so far this year worthy of a few oscar nods, but for your average movie watcher, not worth seeing. jamie foxx's finest is still In Living Color. go buy that instead.
so i bought my jacket yesterday. its basically me getting an early christmas present, or me getting spoiled, depending on how you look at it. now all i need is a beanie. yes, i will be wearing a beanie so watch out. my first run will hopefully be during thanksgiving. we haven't decided what we'll be doing for thanksgiving. if we go back to denver, i guarantee it will cost us a fortune because i'll still wanna hit up some snow boarding while i'm there (hint hint R & T). if we stay here, i'll be doing the same thing, only in utah. so no matter what, we'll be droppin a few C notes, its all just a matter of where. of course i'd prefer colo to the rizzle, but we'll see.
took another LSAT practice test and got my highest so far, a 152. its not the best score. well, lets face it, its not even close, but its a start. and i realized yesterday that this coming year will be the busiest thus far in my little life. i will have lists a mile long of things to do starting Jan 1. today though, i narrowed my law school pick down of where i'll be applying. before the world premier, a few things i must clarify. first off, the most ideal law schools that are probably my first choices are, in no particular order, CU, DU, UofU, BYU. each school on the below list is based on location, ranking, school size, median LSAT and GPA scores they accept, and proximity to the deep south and Texas. we don't like Texas. next, the list below includes some schools that i will most likely have no shot getting in to, but i might as well try. either the money goes to law school apps or dvds for me. law school seems more of an investment. law school apps also will cost between $50 and $70, plus $10 per school from some gay online thing that will send them all my info. point is, i'm glad i have the wife to bring in the bling. also, i've broken it up into two categories: 1. LSAT of around 155 2. LSAT of around 160. if i get around 160, i will apply to those schools, as well as the schools under the 155 range. meaning, i'll be applying to a freaking ton of schools. can never be too careful i guess. lastly, this is assuming i get the LSAT scores listed below. i could totally bomb the LSAT and end up going to Idaho or Wyoming. without further a due, my future residence for, at the very least, three years of my life:
LSAT score of around 155
