Sweetness

I'm about to transfer a running total of 100 megabytes from this page. Excellent.

The weather here is bizarre!

Aw man! People said Pittsburgh weather is weird. I didn't believe them. I mean I had Reading, Pennsylvania weather for the last 18 years, and that was always pretty weird. Anyway, I woke up this morning because I heard thunder. Soon hail was coming down everywhere. It looked like a hail snowstorm. Now, while writing this blog entry, for about the last two minutes it looked like a total blizzard (snow this time) outside. Right now, it has completely stopped and the sky is blue. SO WEIRD.

Soda Review: Doctor Pepper

The Doctor of carbonated beverages gets a bad rap. First of all, no one wants pepper in his drink. Second of all, he's completely independent. No other type of soda even comes close to his distinct flavor. Yet it has a good flavor, albeit a bit medicinal. I like it. 8 MDs out of 10. And here's and idea for the fine people who make this beverage: a partnership with Robutussin, the cough medecine. I'd definitely drink some Dr. Pepper flavored cough syrup. Oh yeah!

IM me!

My Aol Instant Messenger Name is "then mattf says" you know, what's in the quotes not including the quotes. Talk to me sometime. I don't care if you're a complete stranger. Talk to me!

Movie Review: Terminator 3

I finally saw the summer hit, Terminator 3. It was a fun ride. I liked it for the most part, but I have a few complaints. First of all, the special effects seemed kind of cartoonish. I realize that I don't want realism (that would take the point out of escapist entertainment), but I need more realism than this provided. My other complaint is that the ending was anticlimactic. If you didn't see it stop reading HERE. The nukes fall That seems like the beginning of the movie, not the end. In my movie, the two survivors would have to stay indoors, for many, many months. As they enter the outside world, they fight packs of stray dogs. They can't even figure out how to get places, as the landscape has melted into a moon surface. Wait a second, I read this plot in a book in fourth grade. Aw man, that was a cool book. If anyone knows what it's called let me know, I'd like to add it to my collection. Anyway, terminator gets 7 exploding cars out of 10.

Turtles 3 Rocks

I remember seeing this one in theaters. I watched it again last night and it blew away all of my expectations. It's so funny. I could swear Donatello and Leonardo said "schwing!" in there sometime, which is a bit confusing to say the least. 10 "cowabungas!" out of 10.

I'm Naked!

Not really. But it may have gotten you to click on the link. Good for both me and you. Anyway, Ever try Naked brand "food juice"? It's this health food drink available at the Smoothie place. When I use a mealblock, I get one, cause it's a really easy way to fill up a meal block (and they have nothing else available). Right now, I'm drinking Creme de Soy. It tastes like you melted a creamsicle and are drinking the juice. It also is about 10 times thicker and 3 times more viscous. Not the most delectable beverage, but, I'm going to drink it anyway. I haven't done the rating thing in a while so here it goes: Naked Creme de Soy gets 3 creamsicles out of 10. Avoid it like the plague while immunosupressed.

Mad props to They Might Be Giants

Ok, I'm not exactly sure what mad props are, but if they're a good thing, the band They Might Be Giants deserves them. With music that's fun to listen too and varying styles and approaches, They Might Be Giants rocks. So mad props and Kudos bars to them!

Random Game I Like #8: Diablo

I think I like Diablo One better than Diablo Two. And no I'm not saying that because I'm stuck in the past, or some weird old-school gamer. Well, maybe I am. Anyway, the two are both very good games, and are extremely different.

My morality code

These are the Matt Fister Seven Bad Things. Don't break them and everyone will think you're a very nice person.

1. Self betrayal
2. Betrayal of friends
3. Lying when the truth is important
4. Pursuing anyone else while having a significant other
5. Pursuing anyone who has a significant other
6. Being a total jerk
7. Sleeping in


//My thoughts on these: Rules 1 and 2 often conflict, 1 takes precedence. 3 is important when the truth is important. 4 and 5 are similar and mega important. 6 is obvious. 7 can be broken but only if you're really tired.
