Projecting confidence

Posted by Mike - June 23, 2007 at 12:06:16 pm

Today is Jules’ friend’s wedding. So we’re getting gussied up to head on over. I bought a shirt and pants and just to add a little spice, a tie, for the occasion. I don’t normally wear ties. I can’t even remember the last time I wore one. So I had to look up how to tie the tie. The website I found had several knots to choose from but I just clicked on the first one, the windsor knot. After tying it I read the description. “The Windsor Knot is a thick, wide and triangular tie knot that projects confidence. It would therefore be your knot of choice for presentations, job interviews, courtroom appearances etc.” So today I shall be projecting confidence at the wedding.

I’m bringing my camera, so you may get to see some pictures of pure, unrestrained confidence.

Student Drivers Unsafe?

Posted by Mike - June 22, 2007 at 01:06:49 pm

I’m sure you have all heard that a lot. We all know that drivers are most at risk for crashing in their first six months behind the wheel. A student driver is being charged with vehicular manslaughter after running a red light in San Mateo. Here’s the twist, this student is of the graduate variety. This 26 year old was driving a guest lecturer from UC Berkeley to Mountain View when he ran the light and was struck by oncoming traffic which resulted in the death of the lecturer. Now the lecturer’s wife “has called on universities to end the practice of having students drive guest lecturers during visits, contending the practice is unsafe.”

Unsafe? At 26? Or is she referring to the fact that the driver was a student? What a silly woman.

Misdemeanor charge readied in Halberstam death

Dun duuuuuh!

Knocked Up, Once

Posted by Mike - June 6, 2007 at 10:06:39 am

I saw a couple of movies over the past few days. Yep, I actually put aside my netflix DVD’s and went to the theater. That’s what happens when you have a girlfriend. >_>

Over the weekend we saw Knocked Up, Judd Apatow’s (The 40 Year Old Virgin) new movie. At over two hours it’s a pretty long comedy, but the jokes keep rolling so it doesn’t feel very long. There are a few cameos thrown in there for good measure too. Like Ryan Seacrest and James Franco (Jules was like so *_*).

Now let’s take a second to think about the message of this movie. Get a girl drunk, sleep with her, get her pregnant, and then she’ll give you a shot. Hmmm.

Once is a ‘modern day musical’ about a pair of musicians who form a strange bond around their music. I guess it’s not that strange. I’m undecided on whether I like the ending or not. Anyway, the music is pretty good and I hear it’s on iTunes so you should check that out.

Message of the movie: rock out.
