The girl with the (Gigantic) Dragon Tattoo

watched the Swedish version of Girl with the dragon tattoo last night. It was pretty sweet!

I thought that Mickael was not good looking enough at first but than I came around to it, just got that cystic acne face.

I thought that salander was a good fit. She was kinda hot. She could have been teeny-er but she was alright. Plus she was totally ripped like Jesus. nice pecs too  The actual dragon tattoo was a little much for me, just really not the way I expected it. Cool tattoo tho.

Than the millennium lady was waaay to busted for me to deal with, I mean they can defs find more attractive people than that in Sweden. I mean I kinda got the whole " she was hot fifteen years ago thing" but I could have gone for a little more hot right now, just to keep me interested...

Plus the random shout out to, the girl who played with fire.  Inappropriate at best. Like spoilers for the second movie In the first? Whaaat? If they had shown her torching her paps in the beginning of the second movie it would have been too soon but to show it halfway through the first? I mean did they run out stuff to put into this 2.5 hour long movie?

AND the movie in general was not like any European movies ive seen. It was super western influenced. I guess thats probly because it was sort of a big deal over their and they tossed a ton of money into it somehow all expensive movies look the same, even in Sweden.

PostSecret

I hope everyone knows about this website. A man basically gets millions of anonymous postcards of people's secrets from around the world and posts them. Sometimes they're hilarious. Other times they are shockingly, mind-numbingly sad. Always they're interesting and usually quite artful.

My HS Gay/Straight Alliance started a PostSecret in our school. Each classroom has a mailbox in it where someone can drop an anonymous secret and they post them twice a year in the arts center. Its BEAUTIFUL

Instant Replay in Baseball

So here's what I think:

At this point we need instant replay in baseball because quite honestly viewers at home could be doing a better job than the actual umps.

-Have a fifth umpire that sits up in the booth
-When a review comes in, no need to stop play and huddle around a TV then talk about it, just have the fifth ump make the call and move on, I think the entire process wouldn't need to take more than 15 seconds
-Reviewable plays: Home runs, tags on all bases, catches in the outfield, and tagging up (though I don't think it would come up often)
-I don't think balls and strikes should be reviewable.

Jersey Shore > MIA

(Good point.)

Every hour-long episode of Jersey Shore is packed with genius.

But there is SO MUCH amazingness going on (Thursdays at 10pm on MTV) that I often can't remember what made me laugh so hard when I'm trying to discuss episodes with my coworkers the following day.

Enter: Buzzfeed's JS recap posts. They are filled with classic screenshots/quotes and I love them. 

Check it: Episode 2: The Hangover, Episode 3: Creepin', Episode 4: Breaking Up

This Music is for Listening:

Monsters of Folk  Myspace page with some of their music.
Monsters of Folk  Groove Shark. My preference because its on demand and has most of their music.

Folk-Rock with great guitar, a 60's style, and some synth snuck in there when you least expect it.

Best used during the day: at work, driving or on the beach.

The Pardoner's Tale

This is a short story from the Caterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. Johnny and I read it in High School and always thought it would make a bomb play. It's about 3 drunk guys who go out to kill death. Here's a link, scroll down until it says, "Here Begins the Pardoners Tale."
