If I see reading glasses, I must put them on.

These remind me of the glasses I had in 5th grade...and I thought they were really cool at the time.

Spiderman 3 spoiler alert!

A good reason to see Spiderman 3:


Yep, Spiderman 3 came out May 1st here in Japan. I think it's the first time since I've lived here that a movie came out here before it debuted in the states. It was pretty good, considering I have very low standards for the Spiderman movies.
Worst part: James Franco's face gets messed up, making him pretty difficult to look at...luckily he dies at the end and you don't have to anymore.
(Of course, if you read the comic, you already know that he dies--right?)

MFFL

I was listening to this game online.

I was very nervous, but the Mavs managed to pull it off.



p.s. I love you Dirk.
