The Ramblings - 2nd Edition

Posted: November 17th, 2008 | Author: Rob | Filed under: General, Movies | Comments

Once again, I have nothing good to contribute to my blog, so I figured I should do another edition of The Ramblings:

My sister Andrea, her friend Meg, and my Dad visited me this weekend.  We all went to the Illinois - Ohio State game, which turned out to be cold and dissapointing.  It was a fun weekend none the less.

Tried to register for my classes today and was DESTROYED by U of I.  Why must it be so difficult.  Why.

After eating dinners that come in bags and take out for about the 100th straight night, I’m ready to go home and have a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.  Immediately.

Saw Quantum of Solace this weekend.  Excellent addition to Casino Royale.  The theme song, by Jack White and Alicia Keys, is also very good.

Other movies I’ve seen lately: Apocalypse Now, great movie, but quite eery and disturbing, and American Beauty, another excellent film.

The Ramblings - 1st Edition

Posted: October 10th, 2008 | Author: Rob | Filed under: General | Comments

I am a little bit bored today, and rather than not post anything, I’m going to start a new feature: The Ramblings.

I love going out to bars here at Illinois, but it is freaking expensive (Like, “I’m going broke” expensive).

Last night, I finished a paper for my Intro to Film class and immediately thought “this is the worst paper I’ve ever written”.  But then I realized I say this after every single paper I write.  This is not a good trend.

I have finally made my decision on who I’m going to vote for in the election (atleast I think so): Barack Obama.  I will not be particularly upset if McCain gets elected, but I am not comfortable with Sarah Palin potentially running the country.  I think I’m going to post a complete rationale at some point, but not today.  If you have an opinion you would like to share, leave it in the comments please!  Regardless of who you support, please vote!

Album recommendations: Only By The Night by Kings of Leon and Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen (I know this is old, but I just listened to it and it’s really good).

That’s all I’ve got right now…..have a good weekend.
