AI results highlight

Sorry. I had to put this up! AI results show yesterday. Contestants met some famous director (so famous i dunno his name=.=) Talked to them about the importance of music in movies. This is paraphrased as i can't remember all he said. I hope i got his crazy lyrics right though. Director: Music makes movies iconic. Some movies are remembered because of the music. Like Chariots of Fire. In fact, it would have been a greater hit if they used the words i wrote for the song... Then he started la. (i dare you to sing it out loud...just follow the soundtrack-u all should know the CoF soundtrack right? who doesn't???) We're running on the seashore We're running on the sand We're running in circles There's sand in our toes Chorus: And there goes the Jewish guy in front and there goes the Christian guy behind I wonder who's gonna win this time It's gonna be close I haven't laughed so hard for so long. I suppose some might find it offensive...and i don't mea...

The Pill and Other Drugs....

A new movie is out - Limitless. Something abt this down-and-out dude who looks like a wreck who then decides to take this PILL and *poof!* Super smart, super efficient, super good looking fella replaces the loser.

It's been here for awhile. I read an article on students who took drugs - not to have a party "high" - but to study. Yep. Drugs provide you a boost and helps you stay energized all night...so you can study all night through and actually feel pretty good the next day. What would i do if i somehow came across this Pill? Everyone knows the Dark Side to it. Still....so tempting. Of course i am NOT promoting drugs. Don't do drugs! But it's a...

Stepping Westward

While my Fellow-traveller and I were walking by the side of Loch Ketterine, one fine evening after sun-set, in our road to a Hut where in the course of our Tour we had been hospitably entertained some weeks before, we met, in one of the loneliest parts of that solitary region, two well-dressed Women, one of whom said to us, by way of greeting, 'What you are stepping westward?' "What, you are stepping westward?" -- "Yea." 'Twould be a wildish destiny If we who thus together roam In a strange land and far from home, Were in this place the guests of Chance : Yet who would stop, or fear to advance, Though home or shelter he had none, With such a sky to lead him on ? The dewy ground was dark and cold ; Behind, all gloomy to behold ; And stepping westward seemed to be A kind of heavenly destiny : I liked the greeting ; 'twas a sound Of something without place or bound ; And seemed to give me spiritual right To travel through that region bright. The voice w...
