The one where Tammy sees movies by herself and gets her photo taken

- This is an interesting article from EW.com about Heroes and the comic book world. Complete with bonus references to Alan Moore, Buffy, and Babylon 5! Actually I only read the first page because that's all I thought to cache before class.

- Had my grad photos taken today, with robe, fake diploma, hat, fake flowers, and everything! One exciting technological development that has occurred since the last time I had these things taken (high school grad) is the green screen. Now instead of having to choose a background before the shoot, you can go online and play around with all the different ones to see what you like best. 2 of my 12 proofs turned out great, so I'm happy with that.

- Killing time until my 5:20 tax class. A very large boo to night classes. No more of those next term. Speaking of which I will tell you my 2nd term schedule right now:

Mon & Tues:
11:20-12:40 --- Advanced Corporate Financial Reporting
2:10-3:30 --- Value Investing
3:40-5:00 --- Business Law

Wed & Thurs:
9:40 - 11:00 --- Global Strategy

I've gotten most of my accounting courses out of the way this semester, so it should be a fairly light 4 months.

- I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest all by my little old self last night. I actually really enjoy seeing movies alone so that wasn't a big deal. It was playing at Rainbow which is exactly 1 block from my apartment (and only until Thursday), I had been meaning to see it since the summer, and on top of that it was only $3.00!! Hard to turn down.

In the end, I really enjoyed it. Sure it was ridiculously long, did not adhere to any of the laws of physics, and ended with a complete cliffhanger... but darn it, it was good! I had low expectations because nearly everyone has been disappointed with it so far, and I knew to be prepared for the unresolved conclusion. But I thought in general the villain(s) were well constructed, the action scenes were near the top of any I've seen in the last couple of years, and I was thoroughly entertained for the entire 2.5 hours.

- Speaking of Rainbow, they're going to begin showing first-run movies starting this weekend. Of course, prices are going up but they'll still be the cheapest in London: $6.50 for evenings and something weird like $4.24 for matinees and Tuesdays. So if anyone wants to see The Departed with me next Tuesday ... I'll pay!! I'll probably see Borat too. One of the advantages of being a student is that it's really easy to get errands done/see matinees during the week.
