My near death experience..

So far the most interesting thing that has happened to me this week was when my roommate almost killed me. We were on the way back from Harris Teeter and Anna was getting a little anxious waiting in all the traffic. So, she decided to pull out into the middle of the intersection and make a sharp left as soon as a car was coming. It literally missed hitting my side by about 3 inches..it's safe to say I will be doing the driving from now on.

New York Times review

What makes Mark Zuckerberg run? In “The Social Network,” David Fincher’s fleet, weirdly funny, exhilarating, alarming and fictionalized look at the man behind the social-media phenomenon Facebook — 500 million active users, oops, friends, and counting — Mark runs and he runs, sometimes in flip-flops and a hoodie, across Harvard Yard and straight at his first billion. Quick as a rabbit, sly as a fox, he is the geek who would be king or just Bill Gates. He’s also the smartest guy in the room, and don’t you forget it. The first time you see Mark (Jesse Eisenberg, firing on all cylinders) he’s 19 and wearing a hoodie stamped with the word Gap, as in the clothing giant but, you know, also not. Eyes darting, he is yammering at his girlfriend, Erica (Rooney Mara), whose backhand has grown weary. As they swat the screenwriter Aaron Sorkin’s words at each other, the two partners quickly shift from offline friends to foes, a foreshadowing of the emotional storms to come. Soon Mark is back in his dorm, pounding on his keyboard and inadvertently sowing the seeds of Facebook, first by blogging about Erica and then by taking his anger out on the rest of Harvard’s women, whose photos he downloads for cruel public sport: is she hot or not. — Manohla Dargis

Wal-Mart smiley gone bad?




Whenever I see a smirk I automatically think someone is scheming or being a smart ass. Especially since the background of the picture is red it adds more a flare and sassiness to it. This is something that if you are facebook chatting a friend you would send this after a snide remark. It brings to mind an evil Wal-Mart smiley. It's like that every good side has a bad one that goes along with it. Everyone has a little fire in them and no matter how sweet and innocent someone seems they can fight back.

My first blog..

This whole blogging this is new to me. I never really had a desire to blog because I didn't think my life was exciting enough to tell people about it frequently. But so far it seems pretty cool..I guess we'll see how it goes!
