Having already read all three books of The Hunger Games series, I was one of the masses eagerly awaiting the film's release this past Friday (ironic how you could compare us fans to the citizens of Panem's Capitol... but that's a different post). Unfortunately, the earliest showing we could get to on Friday night was 10:30 and my friends didn't care to stay out that late. Yeah... we're pathetic adults now with real lives and stuff. I wouldn't've minded; I'm always exclaiming, "Midnight or first day showings for films that could be awesome! WOOOO!!!" (Imagine my disappointment with the midnight...

The one where I wish I was cool... then I thought about it more.
I've been watching a lot of superhero, geeky, and nerdy TV shows lately. You know, like Smallville, The Big Bang Theory, and The Guild. Next, I wouldn't mind starting the new V series or perhaps actually starting some Star Trek (can you see a pattern here?).
At the same time I've been watching these shows, I am researching graduate schools and thinking about applying for jobs in Colorado. Obviously, the two probably won't coincide, so I'm constantly having to stop to ask myself, "What do I really want to do with my life?" Inevitably, my mind will turn to these TV shows and all the fascinating characters...

The one to rant about Christian music.
Christian music is, in general, devoid of any merit.
Maybe I should specify that I am talking about mainstream Christian music. I'm talking about your average bunch of average musicians you find at an average Christian merchandise store. These are the people we are supposedly touting as our best and most popular. How sad is it when our "best" simply repeat "I love you, God" three times over?
I do exaggerate, and I realize this. However, it is nearly impossible not to when I have to listen to the Christian music station when driving to work with some of my co-workers. Thirty minutes in to work,...

The zombie-fication
When your husband and your cousin play Left 4 Dead blasting, screaming, and running their way to safety, you can't help but laugh.
I think it's safe to laugh at such games because zombies are not real. Even if they were, I don't think the humans infected would actually be considered human anymore (that is probably a debate best saved for another time). Shooting zombies in a game, therefore, is quite entertaining if the people playing the game aren't taking things seriously and also laugh at the ridiculousness of their situation.
However, I had to pause when I realized that sometimes people are called zombies, usually when...
