Drinking Age Debate
7:53 AM | 4 Comments | Tagged in Current EventsIf the legal drinking age does ever drop to 18, I’ll wish I had gone to college later. I could drive, vote, enlist, and run for office; but drinking beer is obviously too dangerous. Then again, as an underclassmen I didn’t have the money to spend at bars anyways.

Olympic Hijinks
8:02 AM | 3 Comments | Tagged in Current EventsI seems there’s more than meets the eye at the Beijing Olympics, what with fake fireworks, fake singers, and potentially underage athletes. The biggest surprise? Michael Phelps is actually an Atlantic salmon in a speed-o. Man, what computers can do nowadays is simply incredible.

Invisibility Jacket
10:51 AM | 0 Comments | Tagged in TechWe’re one step closer to Solid Snake’s invisibility cloak. And I think it makes for a pretty trendy fashion statement too.

8/8/8
5:18 PM | 2 Comments | Tagged in HolidaysHappy 08/08/08 Day! This only occurs once like every bazzilion years.
I think I’ll celebrate by drinking 8% beer, betting Spanish dollars against octogenarian arachnids in a game of Eight-ball, listening to an 8-track of 8.

Goddamn Mongorians!
7:05 AM | 2 Comments | Tagged in The ArtsJenny and I saw Sergei Bodrov’s Mongol last night - the first film in a planned trilogy telling the life of Genghis Khan. For a while we were hoping Huntsville would be included in the limited release, and though it’s playing at one of Huntsville’s crappier theaters (the only local cinema which seems to bring in indie and foreign films) we are pleased it finally made an appearance. Mongol is essentially an Asian Braveheart, historical inaccuracies and all - but how many Americans know the fine details about Genghis Khan’s life anyways? All I have to say is: It was freakin’ sweet.
