MOVIES: Everyone has previously said just about everything i could about V for Vendetta. It's a great film, and I'll just add that even with a shaved head and in a prison gown, Natalie Portman is really hot. As for Firewall, it is basically Air Force One on the ground. and with Paul Bettany as this bizzarely incompetent badguy. Also, Harrison Ford growls every single line in this movie. The same way DMX raps is how Harrison Ford delivers his lines.

TV: Went to Bens last night with taz for a games night that turned into a Rescue Me marathon somehow, and I watched the first 8 eps. It's a really excellent show, at times hilarious and disturbing, and occasionally both. I think the best part is that it is very realistic, I could believe this stuff actually happened. I'd highly recommend it to everyone :)

After I got home i decided to start on the Arrested Development that Win passed me, and kept watching until 4am, Got up, went to work, came back and started again. Unfortunately everything after 1x15 is corrupted, and i gotta have the rest. It is goddamn hilarious. Segways will never stop being hilarious.

Yeah ok i didnt get much study done.

so i have been thinking about a few things this evening and for some reason i think should write them down. This will be a repeat for Kien and Wendy, apologies. And apologies to everyone else because this isn't gonna make a lot of sense.

Semicolons; Nobody ever uses semicolons. People use the more commonly accepted comma, full stop and hyphen for their punctuation needs. The colon is relegated to merely heading lists, while the semicolon is abandoned entirely. I have discovered the reason for this sorry state of affairs. People are afraid of the semicolon. Terrified. Why? Because semicolons are the unknown. People are afraid of the unknown, it is a very scary thing. And nobody knows what the fuck a semicolon is, what it's for, why it exists. People have the vague idea that it is some sort of super comma, however they aren't comfortable with it. It is an intimidating, unknown, and hence neglected piece of grammatical history.
Rest in peace, sweet prince of punctuation.

Ok, now for another theory that is a little bit more crazy but also more closely related to areas of general interest. If you are a little girl in a kickass action film, you will go on to become extremely hot later in life. What evidence do I have to support this mad hypothesis? Well, I will demonstrate.
I present to you Exhibit A, Natalie Portman. She starred alongside Jean Reno in Leon: The Professional when she was 13 or so. And now? star of many hollywood blockbusters and more importantly to this study, hot.
Exhibit B, Alyssa Milano. Played a minor but important role as Arnold Schwarzenegger's daughter in Commando, around about 10. Present day? Leading lady of hit (garbage) tv show, Charmed. And, once again, a hot looking chick.
Exhibit C? Eliza Dushku. Once again, a cinematic daughter of Arnie, this time in True Lies. Has gone on to appear in the Buffy and Angel tv series, as well as numerous movie roles. By this point, you surely will have surmised that she is gorgeous.
My challenge to you, as the reader, is to present a counter example. IF YOU CAN.

there, thats what my mind has been rolling over the last coupla hours. Do with it what you will.
