Update
Hello, anyone who is coming to this blog from anywhere.
I haven't updated for a very long time, now...I plan to start doing this more often once school ends and I know what college I'm going to next year. So here are some random thoughts on what I'm looking forward to this year:
I haven't updated for a very long time, now...I plan to start doing this more often once school ends and I know what college I'm going to next year. So here are some random thoughts on what I'm looking forward to this year:
- LOST!!!!! Jan 21st on ABC at 8:00. I've been keeping busy by following along with the Dharma/Ajira Airways ARG, reading fanfiction (JWLost !!) and rewatching episodes.
- Watchmen: I just reread this, and it reminded me how awesome it is. Bad news about the Fox lawsuit, though.
- I've been seeing lots of movies lately-The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, and Valkyrie were my holiday movies of choice, and they were all pretty good in their own ways. I just saw Deja Vu on DVD, as well as about 5 James Bond movies.
Why are there so many movies that are 3 hours long nowadays? Very rarely do any of them keep my full attention the whole time. If you want to make a movie that long, it should have enought action to involve the viewer, or else it ultimately drags (I'm saying this in reference to Benjamin Button, which, though very good, was too damn long).
- This is the first Winter break where I've had no homework, so I'm pretty happy about that.
- Alan Moore comics have been getting progressively weirder chronologically (I just read The Black Dossier).
- Fringe is back January 20, which is also Inauguration Day. And Lost is the next day. And then I get to go on vacation!!
- Scrubs will hopefully be better this season.
That's all for now!
Have a great new year!!!

School's not Out
This post's mostly for people who know me
Well, I'm finally a senior!!!
Nevertheless, I'm not that excited about school. I have a much easier schedule (2 music classes, BNC!, AP Calc, etc.) so this year should be fine.
If you're not keeping up with LOST, you should be. Dharma Wants You is finally working, and if you want to join, leave me your email address so that I can send you a registration link. Also, Lostpedia, one of the best Lost sites in my opinion, Blog is holding a contest to win different prizes like the videogame. Check it out.
I said I would be talking about Watchmen, so here we go. I know a lot of people who have gotten the graphic novel, most likely because of the trailer on The Dark Knight. This book is great and I consider it the definitive good example of a comic book. Also, in preparation for the movie, Warner Brothers is releasing a series of somewhat-animated "motion comics" on itunes, with narration, music, and some cool effects. The first episode costs 1.99 right now, but they are free when they are released (for about three weeks...I think). It's pretty cool, except for the falsetto on the Silk Spectre.
Speaking of The Office, if you didn't do it last season, Dunder Mifflin Infinity is starting soon. It's an online community/game type thing, where you earn Schutebucks by completing tasks so you can rise in the Dunder Mifflin staff. I'm in the Gaithersburg branch under the alias alex123456. Join and help our branch win!
If you live in the Silver Spring, Maryland area, there will be a 5k race to support victims of Hurricane Katrina that my class organized. It'll be held in Sligo Creek Park on Saturday.

That's all for today, folks. I'll try and do some feature-type posts soon, like what I'm listening to, playing online, and watching. If you're reading this, thanks for reading, and make sure to leave comments!
