February 11th - Everyones gonna die

Today, everyone (well, everyone who's cool anyways) received an e-mail in their school account from one "Timothy Stillings." It was pretty short and to the point, just stating "everyones gonna die." Thanks Tim, that's an uplifting message for us all. I don't know who this Timothy Stillings is, but I'm going to assume someone used his e-mail while he was off getting a drink or something, either that or he thinks using his school assigned e-mail address is a good way to send anonymous death threats. There was another name on the e-mail but I can't remember what it was. Oh well, I'm 100% sure that tomorrow we'll have an announcement about the school working to find the psycho behind this crap. This announcement will most likely be vaguely worded so that absolutely no one has any real idea about what's going on. You know, it would probably be best if the school just comes out and tells us what is happening, rather than having to get all the information from Naked Joe or whomever. It quells rumors and stops false information from spreading... which I guess is the same thing as quelling rumors. Whatever.

Me and Ivars hung out last weekend. We drew more penises in Magic Pengel, as well as a completely awesome looking Homestar Runner which Ivars decided not to save because he's an idiot. We also rented 2 movies, Haggard and Battle Royale. Haggard is officially the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen. Bam Margera might be good at skateboarding or hurting himself, but he's terrible at making movies. There were maybe 5 funny moments overall, and the whole thing just dragged on and on forever. Oh, and there were honestly about 100 different time lapse shots of random shit like the sky and the street, basically between every other scene. Add that to numerous plot wholes and randomly interjected skateboarding footage and you get a very bored and angry Chris and Ivars. Don Vito was hilarious though; as he spent the whole movie as some roman king dressed in a toga, surrounded by feasts and women ("Don't touch my fucking grapes damnit!") And Brandon's whole quest to win a bicycle made of diamonds was entertaining enough, but the rest of the movie was boring and shitty. Battle Royale on the other hand was excellent. It's this movie about a TV show where the government picks one high school class, plops em' on an abandoned island and has them fight each other to the death. Any movie where a bunch of Japanese kids kill each other can't be bad. Plus me and Ivars running commentary on it was great. There's this one scene where this girl is dying in this guy's arms, and she says "You look so cool," to which he responds "Well, you're the coolest girl in the world!" Then the girl dies. I honestly hope my dying words are more meaningful than "You look really cool right now." Also Japanese kids can get shot like 20 times in the chest and still cling to life. This is why we lost WWII. Oh wait... never mind. My only problem with it was that a lot was left unexplained, like why the hell they have this show in the first place, and why that one kid who won the year before got put in this year's battle. And they only mentioned it was a TV show once at the beginning, from there on it never gets talked about again, it almost felt like they forgot it was supposed to be a TV show, and had to add that one scene to try and explain it. And theoretically, if this is the third "Battle Royale," why are all the kids confused about what's happening? I mean, are Japanese kids not allowed to watch TV? All the action and character development seemed good though, I especially liked the trio of hackers. But still, I felt like there could've been more in the way of character interaction other than people dying all the time. And no one had sex, which in almost inexcusable. Because a bunch of High School kids alone for 3 days with no parental supervision almost spells "rampant fornication." Then again, I doubt I'd want to have my sexual exploits be broadcast on TV. Oh well.

In school news, the "Latinos Muenedos" club, which is Spanish for like, Latin Excitement or something (...ok so I made that up, sue me); has a bulletin board at the end of the main hallway in the school. On this board are about 12 little laminated paper flags representing the countries the members are from. Apparently, some kid tore down the Cape Verde flag. Now, instead of simply... I don't know, going and making a new one, the club instead posted a letter on the board in big angry bold type. It was something along the lines of "How could you steal this Cape Verdean flag?! It is very disrespectful to all our Cape Verde members!" It was wordier than that but you get the gist. Anyways, I was pretty amused by this. You know your school has become a little too politically correct when some kid absent-mindedly tears down a tiny little flag, and this is taken as a personal attack against everyone from Cape Verde. I went and printed out a little poster of my own, with a picture of the Cape Verde flag being held by the Mooninites with the caption "We have taken the Cape Verde flag in the name of the moon! - Mooninites." I took that and posted it right next to the original. This morning both the posters were missing. But for one whole day Cape Verde belonged to the moon damnit. Mooninites forever.

Oh, and this is going to be the greatest movie ever. It's like the Matrix... with soccer! w00t!
