So I had been feeling like I've accomplished very little lately but it turns out I've pulled off a few things. In the last two days, I have...
- Seen "Mona Lisa Smile" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," which may be the greatest film ever made (I'm not kidding). I'm seeing it again tomorrow.

Last night, I went to Long Beach Arena ("SCREAM FOR ME LONG BEACH ARENA!!" Oh, sorry, Dickinson moment...) and had my suspicions confirmed that, yes, in fact, every Good Charlotte fan is a screaming 14 year old girl. I also learned (or was reminded) that:

It stars Ben Affleck (yeah, yeah) and Uma Thurman. Hmm. It's also, like "Blade Runner" ("Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"), "Minority Report" and "Total Recall" (yes!) based on a Philip K. Dick ( Read more... )
