note: if you read this prior to 2am on sat. morning (friday night, sat morning), you should probably read it again.)

finished getbackers manga #1, praying, pleading, wheedling, whining to get rachel to grab the entire set while she's in taiwan.... ppppllleeeeaasssseee!!! i don't want brownie points, i just want manga!!

went out with maggie for the first time in a long time. ate at cheesetaster's first for the first time, which was pretty good. hot pastrami's always a winner.
we went to watch s.w.a.t., which went smoothly during the previews, but halfway through the "fight piracy" advertisement, something went wrong, the movie halted, and everyone in the movie theater was ordered to evacuate. we weren't told to evacuate in a quick manner either...we were sitting there for like five minutes before an employee came in to tell us to haul ass, and when we did haul ass, it was more of a slow lumbering mass haul. if it was a fire, i'd be dead. no, really. they were going to refund our tickets, but at the last minute, ended up letting us back into watch the movie.

preview for underworld: i'm watching it. period. a 1000 year battle between vampires and lycans? hell yeah i'm going to watch it! they even used the correct term for werewolves! i mean, come on!

s.w.a.t. in three words: so fucking cool.
plot could've been worked on some more, but it was still fucking cool.

three things i've learned today from watching s.w.a.t.:

1) SWAT teams are hella badass, especially if the elite of elite of the swat teams is lead by most badass motherfucker, samuel l. jackson
2) colin farrel is really hot. o_O;;;;;
3) michelle rodriguez is really hot too. O_O;;;;;

now that i've fully become fucking gay from GetBackers (or at least fucking bi), i will proceed to trash the movie daredevil.

daredevil wasn't great. mediocre. mostly hype. eye-candy was really just eye-candy. the tricks, flips and stunts were really a lot of bullshit since they were all so farfetched. so, here's a breakdown of the movie in plusses(+), minuses(-), and neutrals(=).

+: kingpin is played by michael clarke duncan, the biggest fucking guy on the planet. awesome.
-: jon favreau is in it, playing a really annoying partner lawyer to matthew murdock. fuck, i don't even know the guy's name.
=: ben affleck. he's not cut out for the super hero role, but he did okay.
+: jennifer garner! she's frickin' cute. and frickin' hot.
-: spoiler, though i'm sure most of you guys have already seen it. highlight left to see.jennifer garner dies. booooo.
=: colin farrel was in it. as we all know from my previous statement, he's hot. however, he's not so hot when he's got a fucking bullseye in the middle of his head!
+: special effects to show what daredevil sees were awesome.
-: stunts were too showy, resulting in complete and utter bullshit alert to ring to hell and back.
=: movie was relatively short, so as soon as i couldn't take it anymore, it was actually coming to a close.

final verdict: spiderman with ben affleck and a blindness. hopefully they won't followup with a daredevil 2, though i'll probably watch it to trash that too.

yup.

so what did we learn today?

colin farrel, michelle rodriguez and jennifer garner are hot.

class dismissed!

new events:

s.w.a.t. comes out this friday. itchin' to go see it, but did promise maggie to go watch a movie with her, and she insists on bad boys ii. wouldn't mind seeing bad boys ii again either...heh.

got in on YoHoHo!PuzzlePirates. played for a while, had a lot of fun, and wasted a lot of time. as wen would say, yosh!

i'm level 32 on america's army.

zits are not fucking cool.

wen finally got me to cave in on GetBackers. it wasn't that i was scared of a gay/shounen-ai themes or what not, but i was more afraid of wenchin's fanatical reactions to GetBackers. however, i can see why she's so fanatical. it's so effing funny!
ahhh....ban and ginji....wtf you two....
however, will continue reading the first book of the manga ( progressing very slowly as i can't read chinese that well, but progressing nonetheless. )

Jon: "we're not gay" said ban
Jon: and then ginji hugged the crap outta him with twinkling stars
Jon: *the end*
Wen: uhm, isn't that like.. the entire series?

something tells me that after a while of reading GetBackers and talking to wen and ting2 about this...i'm going to end up ending all my sentences with <3.
