We Now Return You To Your Regularly Scheduled Life.

Well, at least temporarily anyway. All the fun screeched to a halt tonight as I crammed in a few hours of studying for my Greek Mythology midterm tomorrow at 9am. Had a blast of a weekend anyway...

Got around to seeing Spiderman today, after hearing nothing but praise from everyone around me... I guess my problem is I was never really into the comic book scene, so I wasn't as jazzed about the movie as most. Basically it was very "comic-book-ish" in terms of not at all realistic and more computer generated effects than not, but I hear it stayed very true to the comic book itself. Gonna go with 4 M's out of 7 on this, pretty good action, some very good effects when it comes to wall walking and swingin around and so forth, pretty cheesy dialogue especially between the main character and his damsel in distress, but it gets points for being one of those movies boys can say "wouldn't it be cool if" about when walking out. Pretty sure I'm going to like many of the movies I saw in the previews as well as others upcoming in early summer more however.

After the movie had a bite at McConnells, which is either a direct rip off of Coldstone's or is owned by the same company. Basically the exact same layout and offerings, you pick a hand made flavor, and they "mix-in" a topping that can be chosen from just about every kind of candy bar as well as many of your other typical topping fares. VERY yummy, and it had been an at least a few hours since I had some equally yummy sushi for dinner, so I had created some room through digestion. Needless to say between that and the enormous amount of chocolate and food I've received due to the whole birthday concept I'm definitely going to be hitting the running trail and the pool tomorrow.

Finally got the roll of film developed that I'd been working on since about September... Always a treat as I find pictures I didn't even remember taking, and some that turn out really amazingly. I've been pondering purchasing a digital camera to further my dabbling in photography, and so I don't have to be quite so stingy about not taking a picture unless its perfect. Also have some finalists for the first picture to appear on this page, one of these days they'll pop up. :)
