Top 10

Yup - school, school, school: It's coming and coming fast. I've started that seemingly-endless quest of supply shopping and collecting the essentials to achieve a smooth transition into the world of education....(again, *sigh*). Here's MSN.com's list of the Top 10 School Supplies needed by students everywhere, (along with your common sense, of course.)

1. Paper Organizer - Gotta remember your sports practice, after-school events, weekend plans, oh yeah - and homework! Sheesh...so much to do.

2. Backpack - Agreed...but handbags and oversize purses work dang well too. Any other alternatives to the classic backpack? (Still, probably not a good idea to pitch your books into the backseat of your car...)

3. Calendar - I LOVE calendar shopping at the first of the year! I collect the cool "365 Picture-a-Day" ones that investigate cool countries. Last year: Italy. This year: The UK.

4. Downtime Treats - That's the phrase they used for "chilling". I just love to kick back, read for fun, do some DIY, and play guitar. What's your "downtime treat"? (Ha..that phrase reminds me of a happy little brownie that's relaxing on the couch...)

5. Labels - Yup, this site wants to make sure your name is on everything from your calculator to your undies upon re-entering high school this year. Just a warning, I guess...

6. Lucky Charm - Mmm...good breakfast AND good luck! I love to wear my rings and lucky bracelet every day. Any other lucky charms and "rabbit's feet" out there?

7. Study Materials - Classic part of school: Sitting at the desk with books, books, books! Anyone know any good study or homework-help sites?

8. Reference Books - I live by my Webster's Collegiate Dictionary...there have definitely been many an exam paper improved by my friend Webster.

9. Watch - Yay! I collect watches. Plus, they're handy! Making my collection appear to be more then just a weird fetish for timepieces that I have trouble reading...

10. Water Bottle - These reuseable things are one of the greatest inventions on the planet! (Not only are we saving the planet, but you can put crazy stickers on em'! Even attempt to sneak in some *gasp! diet soda or some banned flavored seltzer water...both are my weaknesses...)

Getting ready for school is just dawn over the horizon of a new school year: Any predictions as to the school year? What's your favorite class? Least favorite?

INGLORIOUS BASTARDS!!!

Ladies and gents yesterday was the 21st day in the wonderful month of August this may mean many things for varying persons but it only means one thing to me and film enthusiasts alike..............get pumped!!!...........here we go!!!......... Yesterday was the long awaited release of Inglorious Bastards the latest work of famed director Quentin Tarantino!! I am hella proud to say that Chloe and I went out and caught it on the PREMIER NIGHT and lets just say that it was not a let down by any means!!! People rave about the stellar acting of all involved in this cast but the preformance that sticks out in my mind is that of Brad Pit. Playing the leader of the bastards (a WWII dream team of sorts) Lt. Aldo Rae is one man who does what he has to do! Though this move is not for the faint of heart (noir is any Quentin Tarantino production) it is a very well played story. Thought all fictitonal by fact some asspects prove to be rather educational. With scenes that for the tention into the room in witch you sit and plenty of laughs and even an appearence from Mike Myers i would say that my favorite director has impressed once again!!! 

Any one else hit this up yet??

If so what did you think???

Is this subject offenceive to any one???

Need A Laugh?

For today's Need A Laugh, I bring you the MetropolitanBandT (B and T stand for Bait and Tackle). Made up of three guys, they describe themselves as "Original Content Producers dedicated to sharply executed narrative. " I would personally describe them as intelligent and offbeat comedy. They have several web shows, including my favorite, Park Bench. Here's an episode:
