I’m in Vegas!

After the 8 hour trip, I’m in Vegas! (Yeah, we drove here.) I’m keeping a travel journal this time, and I’m backing it up to 3 different places. Expect to see something in the few days I’m here.

Google Chrome Beta for Mac: Few things to say

Okay, I’ve been using Chrome Beta for Mac for about 2 days now. So far, no bugs or anything. The only thing it can’t do is go on some websites not yet optimized for Chrome. Also, the tab bar at the top annoyed me when it was in the Safari 4 Beta, but Google Chrome does it right. Just open or close a tab…look how smoothly it moves .

Get Chrome at www.google.com/chrome

I’m better at software reviews than movie reviews, so expect a Google Chrome Beta review sometime. With pictures.

Glasses don’t make you smart…your brain does.

Today’s topic: glasses.

There’s this trend at school where everyone wears 3D glasses stolen from the movies. You know those giant, black ones? Yeah, so they pop out the lenses, and pretend they’re “nerd” glasses. Seriously? Kids watch WAYYY TOO many movies these days. They think those glasses auto-magically make them smart.

Wait…if nerds are smart, then why pick on them? I don’t get it, people say nerds are stupid and pick on them and stuff, and then pretend to be nerds and think dressing up like a nerd will make them smart.

Thanks for the compliment. ;D

Yeah, it’s all true: New Moon SUCKS

I know I’m late to this but… whatever.

Okay, so first things first: it takes all the characters about just over a minute to say one freaking sentence. A whole MINUTE! Not including the intense battle scenes which are rare, in those they talk REALLY fast. Also, in the “romance” scenes, they just look at each other most of the time. Look at each other, like in no talking, no motion, no kissing or anything. Just looking at each other forever.

The story never really progressed. I was waiting for the movie to get better and hoping something would CHANGE. Nope, if you just watch the part where Bella goes into depression, the part where Edward goes crazy and attempts to get himself killed, and like 5 seconds of the end, you’ll know the whole story. Yeah, that’s how much it sucked. This thing is just a normal vampire story mixed with obsessive teen love.

I’d say if you take out all the unnecessary pauses and junk like that, the movie would be done in 30 minutes. About 20 minutes if you only watch the parts I said you only needed to watch.

All in all, this movie is horrible. How long does a movie stay in theaters? When New Moon gets pulled out of the movies, then tell me. That deserves a party.

James Cameron’s Avatar: Review (NOT!)

Yesterday, I watched Avatar (not the 3-D version) with my dad at the movies. When the movie started, it was just like a brief recap of what happened and how Jake Sully joined the Avatar program. Soon, it actually gets into real detail and it gets interesting. What made it really interesting is that it’s kind of like when the Europeans invaded the Indians land, like my dad said. Add in some “magic-y” stuff, futuristic-y stuff, machine guns, bows and arrows, and some guy in an alien body and you’ve got Avatar.

I’m not so good at reviews, so I’ll direct you over to Rotten Tomatoes for the reviews. (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/avatar/)
Also, you can find the Wikipedia article (hint: PLOT!) for this movie here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_(2009_film)

Movie ratings from Ryan:
I can’t really say how good it is, because I’d probably rate everything 10/10.
Overall: like 100000/100000 (Yeah, that’s how good the movie is.)

EDIT: Do not watch in 3-D. You’ll get sick…or just don’t look at the blurry backgrounds, and focus directly at the parts that the camera is focusing on. Or else something very bad might happen *wink, wink* *hint,hint* *nudge*throw up*nudge* *hint,hint* *wink,wink*

What I want for Christmas

I really wanted the Barnes and Noble nook for Christmas. Sadly, if you pre-order now, you only get it on February 1st. The nook is the ONLY thing I wanted for Christmas. Too bad it’s out of my reach.

You know that feeling you get when you really want something but you can’t get it and you’re disappointed? That’s how I feel.

The Blue Room: Podcast

Charlie and I have started a podcast called the Blue Room. It’s called The Blue Room, because we podcast in my room, where the walls are blue and pretty much blue everywhere.

In Episode One, we rant about Obama, the Iraq War, cool and stupid stuff at our school, iCarly, and other stuff I can’t remember off the top of my head. The first episode isn’t out yet, but I’ll upload it sometime, somewhere, and I’ll, of course, will post the direct link to it when it gets published to the Interwebs.

Winter Break 09

Well, it’s that time again. It’s winter, and almost Christmas, so all of us kids get a nice break from school. (Or depending on which school you go to, you might not get a break.)

What are you doing for Christmas?
