RANDOM NOTIONS

• Michael Jackson passed away last night. I didn't see that coming. However, I did see a report this morning that said it wasn't quite as unexpected as it seemed.
• VH1 is doing a Michael Jackson Video Tribute. I wasn't exactly a die hard Jackson fan, but he did have a few songs that I liked. I think I liked his videos more than anything.
• This has been a crazy week for deaths in Hollywood. MJ, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, and I think someone told me Walter Kronkite isn't doing so well.
• My summer classes are kicking my butt. They're intense. I knew that online classes have twice as much work, but I think I forgot to factor in the length of the semester. Since it's a summer session, it's twice the work, crammed into four weeks. Not cool.
• Took my nephew to see Transformers 2 on Wednesday. I'm going to have to go see it again. He's young, so I kind of expected a little bit of talking. But wow, he talked the entire time. And what I didn't expect was the TWO bathroom trips in the middle of all the action sequences. I have taken him to movies before and we didn't have this problem.
• I also think that this Transformer movie was not as appropriate for younger viewers as the first one was. It had much, much more bad language, and as my nephew said, it's much scarier for young kids.
• I almost got up and took him out of the theater. I thought he was going to cry.
• I can't wait until August to see the GI Joe movie. I used to watch the cartoon. I kinda like these cartoon made movies.
• I have been feeling like I've been neglecting my blog. But the last two weeks have been so busy that when I do get a moment at the end of the day, I'm just too beat to try and figure out something to post. And I don't see an end to the madness anytime soon!!
• I'd better get back to my homework, or I'm never gonna get it done.
