gambit forever!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! at long last, gambit appears in the x-men movie franchise, and he totally rocks, albeit a very short screen time. Gee, this brings back a lot of high school memories -lunch breaks with Isabel reading comic books, hundreds of pesos spent on comic rentals, the non-verbal episodes with Barry... hahahahahaha..obviously with the success of Xmen Origins at the box office, a sequel is well on the way and they better do gambit some justice, i know it's too much to even ask for the rogue-gambit love story (sigh..they totally butchered rogue's character),







but they should at least dig deeper into gambit's character, show more of his smoldering eyes and please, please, please.. work on the accent :)...





though the movie got a lot of shiteous reviews, it doesn't really matter to me, i would buy the dvd and just forward to the gambit scene. Everything else is moo point.

This movie gets 3 out of 5 stars from me..

nursing school survival rules

When in doubt, wash your hands.

The correct answer is either "hand washing" or " patient airway".

If it moves, ambulate it. If it doesn't move, turn and reposition Q2H.

Remember the 11th Commandment: Thou shalt not cross thy sterile field.

The Instructor is ALWAYS right.

See Rule # 5.

watchmen review

i am not a big fan of grotesque, violent movie... but I endured 2 hours and
45 minutes of Watchmen... why? because it looks awesome..... it's literally
the comic pages coming to life... but watcher beware.. Watchmen is not a
superhero movie, it is very dark, convoluted, in your face savagery. I must admit i speed-read the comic book and i only followed the story of certain characters...but really the whole premise lies on the simple formula of kill millions to save billions, you know, the superheroes mentality gone wrong...but what makes this different are the non-typical protagonists, the soap-like drama of the 2 generations of masked vigilantes, the never compromising attitude of my favorite rorschach, an almost "eye for an eye anarchical sort of justice" and .....awesome soundtrack!!

did you know....

i have not heard of the legend of the green M&M's until my co-worker kerri told me
about it pre-valentines day. apparently, back in the day, green M&M's were considered
an aphrodisiac...and we go "huh, why green?"..



well, according to Celtic lore the Green man was the god of fertility, hence making green a color of fertility. so i went around looking for green-only M&M bags to bring to the office but i really couldn't find one and I did not want to spend a chunk of dough going in M&M world.. but last night guess, what i found in the clearance aisle of the supermarket. yup, that's right. green M&M's at half price.. so i bought a bunch and distributed it around the office but i did warn people about the side effects...


it reads: " Consumption of The Green Ones may result in elevated Romance levels."
obviously it's a marketing ploy, notice that the green M&M is a female...kind of sexist if you
ask me..

...now i know why they call it "green jokes" :) and NO, it won't make you horny.
