  Eagle Eye

  I went and saw the film Eagle Eye tonight. It was pretty entertaining, but you could totally tell that someone on the design team had played Portal before making the movie. Anyone else get the same impression?

  My thoughts on Palin are cemented: NO THANK YOU MA'AM!

  http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1837918,00.html

  According to that article from Time Magazine, Palin talked to a librarian about wanting to ban books because of offensive language. You know what I have to say to that? **** government censorship. Sorry Mrs. Palin. I was already really iffy about you, but this tips the scales.

  Who watches the Watchmen??

  I finished the Watchmen graphic novel this weekend... wow, it was so good! The ending was incredible and really raises an interesting dilema. I hear it's going to be changed a little for the movie, though which is dissapointing to me. I have faith that the movie will be good, though. David Hayter co-wrote the script, and I have liked the other Zack Snyder movies I have seen. I'm really banking on this to be basically the best movie ever.

  So who watches the Watchmen? No one, in the end. Some people have power, and others don't. While you can never fully trust a powerful person to do the right thing, sometimes you just have to put your faith in the best avaliable option. That's how I feel about the current election. It's easy to be jaded and mistrustful of politicians, and I think that cautious approach is a good thing. After researching it a lot though, I have decided to support Barack Obama for the presidency. There was an event at my school the night of his big speech at the DNC where students got together and watched the speech as a group. I made cupcakes for the event. Check them out:

  

  Ok, so I'm not the world's greatest cupcake maker! They were supposed to resemble the Obama campaign logo, which looks like this:

  

  Luckily I got progressively better at making them. Here is the Watchmenized version of me with one of my better cupcakes:

  

  Luckily they tasted really good!!
