Things of Interest in My Life Lately

Let's see, I recently bought Splinter Cell: Conviction as a joke to play with one of my best friends. The joke is that I suck at being stealthy and the last time he and I played a Splinter Cell game together it was Chaos Theory and well I did some very non-stealthy things. I found that the game is more action oriented then previous entries, but is still fun to play. I recently saw The Social Network and Edge of Darkness. For The Social Network I went in thinking it was going to be stupid, I mean its a movie about Facebook, however I was very impressed and now understand why it has such a high rating on RottonTomatoes.com Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails did the score and the script is very smartly written. I took a film course this year and can say that it looked well directed too. As for Edge of Darkness, I really liked it. I mean it's a great revenge movie starring Mel Gibson, whom I'm not really a fan of, but ended up really liking. It's about how his daughter is killed and he's trying to piece together why. Since I'm a criminal justice major, I liked the legal aspects of it and some of them made me laugh cause in all honesty they were true. Also 4 Loko was banned in NY and I am very unhappy about that. For my birthday I got two watermelon ones and drank them in about an hour. Guess what? I LIVED! They are banning it due to the "high" alcohol and caffeine content in them which makes its drinkers, well "loko". I read an article by a Columbia college student that perfectly described the predicament. "People have been drinking Red Bull and Vodka for years and no problems have arose and you can buy alcohol and energy drinks separately, as the student said. "Basically you can buy the ingredients to make a cheeseburger, but you can't go to McDonalds and buy one." All well, I guess it might be re-released later with a new recipe like Sparks or maybe the government will wise up and realize its not the product thats the problem its the people consuming them. Also it cost 3 bucks for each 4 Loko and thats means your paying 3 bucks for about 4 beers, pretty good deal if you ask me.
