Just some fun, maybe.

Well depending on your entertainment threshold, this post is meant to be MOSTLY fun and not a whole lot of serious stuff.

Though I was running the math last night and today and it looks like I'm actually going to get paid more for three weeks of training than for the month that I'll be working. Because that was important. I just felt like sharing the oddness of that...

Anyways...

Here's this: Not that I really buy into it. But it's nice to know that someone was looking at it in a similar light as I was:

The Difference Between College And High School

25. In high school, you do homework. In college, you study. 24. No food is allowed in the hall in high school. In college, food must be provided at an event before students will come. 23. In high school, you wear your backpack on one shoulder; in college, on both. 22. In college, the professors can tell you the answer without looking at the teacher's guide. 21. In college, there are no bells or tardy slips. 20. In high school, you have to live with your parents. In college, you get to live with your friends. 19. In college, you don't have to wait in a certain lunch line to be cool. 18. Only nerds e-mailed in high school. (Cool kids hadn't heard of it.) 17. In high school, you're told what classes to take. In college, you get to choose; that is, as long as the classes don't conflict and you have the prerequisites and the classes aren't closed and you've paid your tuition. 16. In high school, if you screw up you can usually sweet-talk your way out of it. In college, you're lucky to ever talk with the professor. 15. In high school, fire drills are planned by the administration; in college, by the drunk frat boys on their way home when the bars close. 14. In college, any test consists of a larger percentage of your grade than your high school final exams ever did. 13. In high school, when the teacher said, "Good morning," you mumbled back. In college, when the professor says, "Good morning," you write it down. 12. In high school, freshman guys hit on senior girls. In college, senior guys hit on freshman girls. 11. In college, weekends start on Thursday. 10. In college, it's much more difficult to figure out the course schedule of the man/woman you have a crush on, in order to figure out where he/she will be walking around campus and at what time to find them there. 9. Once you've obtained the information described in #10, it's much more time-consuming to run between classes to that place where you know he/she will be in order to "just happen to bump into him/her." 8. In college, there's no one to tell you not to eat pizza three meals a day. 7. In college, your dad doesn't pay for dates. 6. In high school, it never took 3 or 4 weeks to get money from Mom and Dad. 5. College men are cuter than high school boys. 4. College women are legal. 3. In college, when you miss a class (or two or three), you don't need a note from your parents saying you were skip... uh, sick that day. 2. In high school, you can't go out to lunch because it's not allowed. In college, you can't go out to lunch because you can't afford it. 1. In college, you can blow off studying by writing lists like this.

Sorry 'bout that. It's really a list, I promise. It just lost its formatting when I copied it over for some reason... But it should be mildly entertaining.

Anyways, there was something else I was going to post on WMDs, but it's total crap. So don't bother reading it unless you're wierd like I am. Though I'm going to post it for myself because of what's coming. It might be useful. You didn't realize that, did you? That I post for myself...?

NEways.

Also, we went to "Land of the Dead" last night. Kinda disappointed in the people watching. Like there was no hype whatsoever. What do you do with people that are actually zombies and just watching a movie..? But it's pretty good for a zombie movie. It's no Dawn of the Dead, though... And if you hate gore, this definately isn't the movie for you. But why are you watching such a movie expecting no gore...? Had a pretty interesting concept, and rumor has it that if you watch really, really, closely you can see Shaun from Shaun of the Dead. I thought that was interesting, but I missed him. And it was also said that this is (the first?) one of the only zombie movies in which no one is like "Don't shoot! He's so and so!" Nothing like that. They already know the zombies are bad, the outbreak has already come, this is about a long term survival story. You get bit, you get shot. That's pretty much how it runs. And I think there was only one appologee about it in the whole movie...

But it's also funny, there's the scary parts, but as long as you're not sitting next to my mom (for crying out loud) or certain other people that scream/throw popcorn/jump/etc you should do alright. Seriously, I wouldn't have even jumped in that movie if I didn't have my mom screaming in my ear everytime something happened. Even when YOU KNOW that something's coming...

Oh, and definately not a movie for little kids. There's a seen with topless nudity, there's ample loads of gore and there's even another scene that's best left unspoiled (not so bad, but it might offend some ideologies out there). Just in case you were wondering "Is this ok to take little Jimmy?" If little Jimmy's your child and not your midget, it's probably not a good movie for him to see. I won't put an age limit, that's for you to figure out, but under ten for sure. At least what I would see as normal kids...

But yeah, that's pretty much it. I think I'm done now.
