Two girls one sub

With the viral video rage these days, I'm thinking of releasing a short I've been working on. It involves two girls, taking turns sampling the primary without procedure, permission, or anti-c's. They then take a swig of primary and then proceed to make pop-tarts in nucleonics. GROSS!

While you all wait for that amazing video to hit the streets, mull on my razor efficient movie reviews . With winter stand down, I have had a chance to catch up on my books and movies.

I'll start with the less satisfying of the two, movies:

1. I Now Pronounce you Chuck & Larry: Adam Sandler and that fat guy from "Hitch". Hilarious jokes with a solid plot, great message (don't hate!), and Jessica Biel. Two Periscopes up.

2. Rush Hour 3: Jackie Chan still throws furniture with his legs and Chris Tucker still won't shut the f up.

3. I am Legend: Movie peaked at the scene where he chased deer through the streets of NY. Too much zombie, not enough Fresh Prince. Plus a huge pie of religious allegory smashed into your face at the end. No thanks.

4. The Bourne Ultimatum: Bourne runs. Bourne kicks ass in hand to hand combat. He gets into a car, chase ensues. Repeat x5 = one full movie.

5. Live Free or Die Hard: John McClane drives a car into a helicopter. Love it.


Books:
1. "Blink" by Malcom Gladwell: Another great book by Gladwell, it examines the process of split second judgements. At first, it is hard to believe that one could write an entire book on this, but after reading it, one could write volumes on the topic. Much like his other book, "The Tipping Point," it delves into the underlying reasons for simple human behavior and interactions. Enlightening.

2. "Mind Gym: An Athlete's guide to Inner Excellence" by Gary Mack. I actually found this book on Amazon while clicking on one book, then clicking on "other customers bought," repeatedly, which eventually leads you to some completely unrelated book that you find interesting. This book is written at a fourth grade level, so that any "athlete" may understand. This actually made it hard for me to read. However, it still gave good tips on improving your performance in sports. After gleaning some tidbits in being "present minded" while playing your sport, I headed out to play a round with the pop's at the local course. I lost a ball at every hole, and at the ninth hole, I "presently hated golf." Thanks Mind Gym.
