Films

If you haven't checked out this years Academy Award winning films, do yourself a favor and RENT THEM! Bundle up under the covers with your special sweetheart (if you have one), pop up some corn, dim the lights, and blast off to another dimension. If you and your special someone (providing you're lucky enough to have one) choose Slumdog Millionaire, you will be whisked away to provincial India--a land ruled by savages, where even the slightest mistake can cost you your eyes, hands, or life.


Speaking of films, a rather filmworthy disaster struck San Francisco yesterday when a whopping 4.4 earthquake decided to shake things up a little bit and give us all quite a scare. I was sitting at my desk, here at the office, when my phone began vibrating. I stupidly assumed I was receiving a call and reached for my phone, only to realize it weren't not no call, it was an earthquake! As a child I'd been told to dive under a desk in the event of an earthquake and I instinctively did so, my roller wheeled chair shooting out from under me and crashing against the wall. Soon the rumbles mellowed and the hellish shrieks from the ladies in the office next door quieted, so I emerged from my sanctuary. All was chillingly still. In fact, chills ran down my spine. Suddenly my cellphone began to vibrate again. Oh no, was this another earthquake? No, this time it was only my mother calling to make sure I was alright.
