I agree 100% with this girls shirt as seen below:

Boobs with Jack Daniels

She may not be perfect but some parts of her are pretty awesome. I mean just look at the size of the bottle of Jack Daniels :)

Mission Impossible III

Mission Impossible IIII’ve been trying to catch a movie with a good friend of mine for a long time and today we finally got to see one.

Mission Impossible III was the movie of choice.

I was trying to remember the story from the second Mission Impossible but all I could remember was Tom’s character Ethan Hunt was on vacation climbing rocks when he gets a message via his sun glasses, so I guess the second one didn’t impress me much.

I had heard good and bad reviews about MI3 but for $6.00 (the early admission price) and the chance to hang with a good friend, I jumped at the opportunity, plus I got to eat some good movie theater junk food.

One of the things that people kept telling me about the movie was Tom Cruise runs a lot and that’s a fact. He does run a lot. Run Forest run!

Over all the movie was good and I’d like to see it again. The only issue I had was some of the crap that happens to Ethan Hunt was really hardcore and he just kept on running… hehe… his back should have been broken half a dozen times.

Philip Seymour Hoffman played a great bad guy named Owen Davian. The line from him that sticks in my head (no pun intended)

He was very evil indeed but that’s ok. He did get his head smashed in the end. I’d actually like to see that scene again because before you realized what was going on, it was over.

I did notice one editing goof up in the film. During the interrogation scene when blood is running down Ethan Hunt’s nose, the flow is inconsistent. First there is a long stream, then a short one, then a long one again. It seems someone wasn’t watching in the editing room. It happens. I like trying to find goofs in films, so this is just another reason to go watch it again.

In the end, there was a lot of good action, special effects and suspense, plus it had a decent story line and a few cute girls, so if you haven’t seen it yet, go for it. Let me know your thoughts on the movie as well.

Columbine video game

DENVER, Colorado (AP) – An online game based on the Columbine High School massacre is drawing criticism from a father whose son died in the 1999 attack, saying it trivializes the actions of the two teen killers.

Super Columbine Massacre RPGI can’t believe someone would make a video game out of the horrible thing that took place at Columbine High School. The game is titled Super Columbine Massacre RPG.

What really bothers me is the fact the game creators actually used investigative material, including images of Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, who killed 12 classmates and a teacher before committing suicide. The game even uses actual images of students running and crying. At least they didn’t use photos of any victims.

I’m all for video games but they’re suppose to be for entertainment and enjoyment. How can playing a game based on true facts about what took place at Columbine High School be fun?

eBay To Unveil Further Skype Tie-Ins

Reuters.comLAS VEGAS (Reuters) – Online marketplace eBay Inc. is set to detail on Tuesday how it plans to combine its Skype Web telephone-call service into its core U.S. auction business, executives said on Sunday.

“We will have some news on Tuesday about Skype,” John Donahoe, president of eBay’s Marketplace unit, told an audience of software developers at the company’s annual developer conference in Las Vegas.

Newsweek magazine reported on Sunday that the company plans to encourage eBay sellers to embed Skype calling links into auction pages in a few product categories, including cars, real estate and diamond solitaire rings.

So-called “click to call” features through which eBay customers can contact sellers directly via text message, voice or video conference have been a main selling point of eBay’s acquisition of Skype in October for as much as $4.2 billion.

This is pretty exciting news as I’ve been an eBay user since 1998 and a Skype user for about 1.5 years. Having a way to talk directly with a buyer or seller on Ebay will make transactions go much smoother I think.

Email’s are nice but having real time communication with someone is a lot better and sometimes people don’t want to give you their phone number, so now having Skype part of eBay, that helps solve a communication block.

Side note, eBay Live starts tomorrow in Las Vegas and goes through Thursday. There should be some good things coming out of this years conference!
