Movies
Well, I rented Howard The Duck and Red Corner last night. I had seen both of the movies before, Red Corner once and Howard The Duck countless times. I love that movie. Not something I could watch nightly or as many times as UHF but I could watch it a ton.
Anyways it was disappointing last night when Suchi and myself went out to get the movies as we went out to get 2 specific movies, and no others... they were American Beauty and The Usual Suspects or as I usually refer to it, The Unusual Suspects (I think it is more appropriate a title anyways). However when we went to the Blockbuster Video on Calhoun/Taft in Cincinnati they were out of both. So, since we valued the movies as more important than getting a rain check we went out to another Blockbuster, nada there also. We then decided to check out a video store on Ridge Avenue, which is a few miles away from campus... neither were there either, or at the Hollywood Video on that same street. Remember that American Beauty is "Guaranteed In Stock.". They didn't seem to remember how popular of a movie it was and nobody in Cincinnati bothered to get an adequate number of copies. In then end we ended up back where we started and rented the two afforementioned movies. Good flicks but certainly not what we were looking to see in the first place.
Picking out those movies was a challenge in the first place. Must realize a couple things when Suchi and I go movie hunting... Both of us have seen the obscure and international stuff, leaving only a few choice movies that either she or I would be interested in. Thus I was amazed to hear she had not seen Howard The Duck when growing up. Who cannot love a movie about <font color = "white">a duck that gets pulled into Cleveland and saves the world by destroying all the Dark Overlord's in the Universe??? </font>.

Star Craft
A few friends of mine and myself have been playing a lot of Starcraft lately. However those who play with me are having a heck of a time beating the others. Our current tactic (which hasn't been tested very well) is to have one terran and two protoss, one protoss has the job of building massive numbers of cannons to protect the other protoss and the terran initially, while the terran works at building only siege tanks to build up the ultimate perimiter defense for everyone, than the war continues in their normal way of attaining 20 bases and the central base areas and such. Any comments on this strategy or any others please send me a note or strategy change. I will give feedback on here to how well it works. Send your suggestions to khemicals at marblehorse dot org .

Calculus and Computer Science
Well I believe I did really well on my exam last Friday. I hope I get it back tomorrow with a damn good grade on it. I am also hoping the same for my Computer Science Exam. I will get around to scanning it and putting it on the web along with answers for people to make and get a score on it. I wish good luck to all for it is stupid. :)... perhaps I will get around to making an entire testing interface for it using PHP and some other stuff... will have to think about that possibility.
