The book is always better...

So I watched the movie Twilight on an internet movie website. Let me tell you about the movie experience first. Because my wireless connection here at my apartment is almost nonexistent (i.e. it sucks!), I ventured to the library where 1) It's quiet, and 2) the wireless there is very fast :) So I start watching the movie yesterday evening and after 75minutes the website stops and says "You have watched 75 minutes of this movie...you can sign up to watch free movies (and pay) or wait 54minutes and try again" I was like are you kidding me, right in the middle, the meat of the movie it stops! agh! So I wait, and do some studying. Then later start it up again, this time it stops as James bites Bella.. ahhh right in the middle of the action! It was getting late so I said screw it I'll finish it some other time! So tonight, I try to finish the little bit of the movie I had left...I made it to the prom and it stopped again with the same message, even though it was only like 4min from the previous scene! man-o-man! After waiting about 30 more minutes, I finally got to see the last 2 minutes.

Was it worth it? Not really. The movie was kind of cheesy. Bella was kind of annoying...like the I-don't-know-how-to-act kind. Edward was ok...not as "dreamy" as the book makes him out to be, (lol Alisha)! but his coolest line was "I have the strenght to kill you!" I thought that was pretty awesome. Overall, I probably would see it again, but the book was a lot better! And I am planning on reading the 2nd one soon.

Another long weekend for us Rockets
Friday we beat Dayton 5-0. Knot and I sat this match. We had to stop the match because the building's power went out. This was our first win of the season!
Saturday we played Xavier and Detroit back to back. We started out with Xavier and lost 3-4, very close and competitive match. Sven, Aleks and I won our singles matches in 3 sets!
We beat detroit 5-2, after losing the doubles point.
we are now 2-3 overall
I am 1-2 singles and 0-3 doubles :(
I have a long season ahead of me though, only can get better!
More updates here!

I am pretty sore from the weekend and I think I may have tweaked my oblique muscle from serving so big (yes, I serve pretty big now :)).



Can you take me back to that place where stars glow?
Comets swarm like fireflies outside your window

1st day of classes and practice - luckily my schedule isn't too bad but i'm tired already!

It's going to be a long semester, but should be fun!

that's a lot of snow

It has been snowing since yesterday morning here in Toledo...we have somewhere between 6-10 inches either out there or expected; and it won't stop snowing!

I finished Twilight! It was a pretty good book. Bella is an idiot-too clumsy! I am curious about how the movie plays out - I may check it out when I get some free time.

My cousin is here in Toledo, so we all are hopefully going to get lunch later assuming the roads are completely shit...probably Jamaican food mmmm!

...still snowing!...

mmm grass

I started my day off with a wheat grass shot...

Say Yes!

Jay and I watched Yes Man last night. 1) to get out of the house and watch a movie I wanted to see with free movie tickets and 2) to flaunt my new style - dark jeans, checkerboard vans, and my black hoodie - oh I looked good (haha thanks Neill, Alisha, and $J$)

The experience was not so great, we went to the 10:15 showing, so no high school kids or anything, but there was an obnoxious guy w/ his girlfriend to the right side of the theatre and 2 very outspokenly annoying older women a couple of rows in front of me - you know the laugh-annoyingly-outloud at the minor funny parts and laugh so hard they snorted - def. could have done w/o them...but the movie was great!

I really enjoyed the comedy. I like Jim Carrey, very talented and very funny! Say Yes to every opportunity presented or question asked. That's kind of a neat concept. When I think about it I want to do it because it will lead to very spontaneous actions. And with my crammed schedule it's hard to be spontaneous!
But I am going to do it :)
And you should watch the movie!
7.5/10 for my comedy taste

I do want to see He's Just Not That Into You. After talking with a friend, I realized it is the movie based off of the book I have heard about it my high school days... But the cast is amazing and I think it's going to be worth a watch (perhaps on a date, haha). Also, Kevin Connolly is in there, and I like him from Entourage!

bonne chance et au revoir

Born on a Blue Day

Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant

I just got finished reading the book and it was very good! It was an autobiography of Daniel Tammet. It is a very inspiring book. It will inspire you to do charity work, learn a new foreign language, memorize whatever, and appreciate people that are considered “different.”

He has a website where you can go to learn more (http://www.optimnem.co.uk/)

And he is coming out with a new book in a few weeks that I will be purchasing because he is such a fascinating person and his messages are clear.

If you stumble across the book, give it a read! It's fairly short and definitely a good read!

I think Twilight is next on the list...

ohhh man!!!

So I received this awesome, high-quality sweater/hoodie from Robert...

I just washed and dried the awesome high-quality sweater/hoodie from Robert when it should have been Dry Cleaned!!!

failure...didn't think it would make that much of a difference...now I know...

He wasn't too happy, but I find it somewhat humorous

ohhh cheers to 2009! It's going to happen!!

A new year

Happy New Year!!

It's going to happen in 2009!
