milestones

::gaming::
So, some cool things have been going on that I haven't really mentioned. Last week I bought my first ever PS2 game: Beyond Good & Evil. I read about it in Jamaal's Playstation Magazine, and it got 4 stars. So when I saw it in the Game Stop for only twenty bucks, I decided to get it.

::entertainment::
The Osar nominations came out this week. I was glad to hear that Keisha Castle-Hughes was nominated for her performance in Whale Rider. If you haven't seen this movie yet and are up to feel all gushy and cry, then I suggest you go rent it.

Johnny Depp was also nominated for his performance in POTC, which is really cool. I'm not sure if he has a good chance of winning, but he's such a great and unconventional actor that I think he just deserves to have an Oscar even if his performance in POTC wasn't his best ever.

::music::
The Maroon5 album—Songs About Jane—has been on constant repeat on my computer for the past week. If like their single, "harder to breathe", then you'll like the rest of the album. I also liked the second single, but I didn't know if I'd end up getting the album only to hate the rest of the songs because it sounded nothing like the singles. But that's not the case, and I love it. Stevie Wonder is a big influence in their sound, but the lead singer's voice reminds me of Jamiroquai.

::school::
I'm way behind on my desktop publishing project. We've got to do this logo design for Vanity Day Spa. We were supposed to have out fonts picked out today, but I'm not even through going through all of them on the ATM (Adobe Type Manager), which means that I'll have to go up to the computer lab this weekend to work on it.

::movies::
My little sister wants me to take her and her best friend to see You You Got Served tonight. This is one of those movies that I kinda wanna see, but don't want to pay for it or admit that I actually kinda liked it in the end. I do want to see the dancing sequencing, cuz I like that kind of stuff, but the plot is probably gonna be pretty sophmoric, and really appeal to my sister, cuz she's 15. But then there's the slim chance that it'll be like Drumline and actually have a decent plot.

I think I pretty much covered everything. But, undoubtedly, once I post this I think of something else I wanted to mention.
