Eating

You know what I can't wait to do right now? Eat. I have coffee sitting in my stomach, knocking on the walls and saying "You know what would be really great right now? Eating. Remember how delicious that grease-ball of chicken tenders were at the cafeteria? You totally want that." My mouth is drooling in anticipation, which is slightly embarrassing because drooling when reading a book about superheroes just doesn't look cool. Imagine you're a straight chick, flipping to a page about Wonder Woman and suddenly drool emerges from your mouth with a hungry look in your eye. Just... it doesn't look cool.

Fuck Yeah!

There is a new phenomenon, and it's name is FUCK YEAH.

FUCK YEAH RYAN GOSLING

FUCK YEAH ANNE HATHAWAY

FUCK YEAH NEIL PATRICK HARRIS

Knowing, starring Nicolas Cage (Matchstick Men), directed by Alex Proyas (I, Robot)

Nicolas Cage is not an actor that impresses. He has been described as a performer rather than an actor; this is probably the best description of him that I can think of. Because of his "breeding" and being birthed into a Hollywood dynasty, he manages to get fantastic roles that should go to a better actor; in roles that are actually necessary to act, he tends to look very confused, as if he stumbled into the wrong set. Do you get it? I can't stand Nic Cage.

That being said, watching Nic Cage in this trailer, I immediately got bad vibes. As soon as he started talking, I knew this was going to be bad. Nic Cage acting like he's thinking is sort of like watching a brick wall act like it's thinking. The plot sounds like it could be an interesting book about numerology, the way The Da Vinci Code is an interesting book about symbolism and art history. Watching the trailer I think about other movies: Mothman Prophecies, for instance. It's the same sort of conspiracy, heart-pumping movie that requires a lot of shocked and thoughtful looks from it's actors that just isn't very good.

Knowing depends entirely on Nic Cage to pull it off, and I have absolutely no faith in him. If you're going to see it, don't.

22.03.09 - Find of the Day

When I travel, I enjoy having everything I need in one place without having to switch around to various websites. Modern technology has made this easier; instead of picking up the phone and calling various travel agents or airlines to find the cheapest price, instead we can just log onto Hotwire or Orbitz to do the searching ourselves. Sidestep takes it one step further by searching airline sites and all of the discount traveling sites from all over the world for you, bringing the ultimate deal. Plus, when you do purchase your tickets, it takes you to the website of the airline itself rather than requiring you to purchase through their website. A great deal!

Searching is super-easy. When searching for a flight, you have the option of searching one-way, round trip, multi-city and weekend. For adventurous travelers like myself, the two new options of multi-city and weekend trips is a great tool. You can skip around the country with ease. I remember when I traveled to Europe four years ago it was nearly impossible to fly to point A and leave from point D; I had to take a train to get around. With Sidestep's search options I can go anywhere. The Weekend search tool is useful as well; I can find out what weekend is cheapest to go visit some family or maybe take a trip to London for an interview. It searches Friday-Sunday, every weekend, for my deal.

My only problem with this website is now, I want to travel everywhere, all the time now.
