I took pictures of my friend in the library the other day that remind me of this video.
I feel good that I took them before I saw this.
Yeah!

Salvador Dali Movie Could Mean Death Sentence For Young Man's Career
Should Rob Pattinson Worry About Bad Reviews?
R.Pattz's acting was awful in Twilight, so I really wonder about Little Ashes. Have you read any reviews? Is it any good at all? Thanks.

Critics remain way underwhelmed by Robert Pattinson's channeling of artist Salvador Dalí in Little Ashes. Call it a lack of—tee hee—sparkle. A few were impressed—the London Daily Express calls Pattinson's take "a spirited performance." But most agree with MTV's Kurt Loder, who says, "As soon as Pattinson steps forth with Dalí's famous up-twirled mustaches pasted to his face, the picture collapses."
Well, meow to you, too.
That isn't necessarily bad news for Pattinson fans, however, especially if you're open to a long-term love affair...
Despite the mixed reviews, veteran casting directors are calling Pattinson's choice in films brilliant, especially if he wants a long career.
"Tween girls buy movie tickets but don't win you Oscars," says casting exec Lisa Hamil, who worked on The Notebook and Alpha Dog as well as the new film One-Eyed Monster. "Hollywood is very quick to typecast, and once that happens, an actor's career can flatline."
Here's where tweenie fans may feel a bit of panic.
"All of us would still attempt to cast him in tween roles, but I'd be shocked (and a little disappointed) if he took another one," Hamil reveals. "It's the same reason Daniel Radcliffe did Equus. These guys are in it for the long haul and have learned this elemental truth: You grow up with your audience."
In other words, once the Twilight franchise wraps, kids, don't look for Pattinson in another teen-candy role. Even vampires need to grow up sometime.
In my opinion, he's giving the people what they want.
The type movies he has been cast in don't require the greatest acting skill because they are just personifying stories people already know...all people want is a pretty face to look at.
Apparently, his face is pretty enough for two HUGE series movies.
Sad Day.
I have my website ready to go, but not I'm-gonna-pay-60-bucks-to-post-it-for-a-year ready.
I will have it ready for Monday on a jump drive, but I just can't dole out the money for the web hosting right now.

A Series Of Unfortunate Events
Students hit by car
By AMBER POMPATwo pedestrians were struck by a car, while trying to use the crosswalk on Culver Street Tuesday.
Around 8:48 p.m., Commerce Police and Fire Departments responded to an auto-pedestrian accident on Culver Street in front of Whitley Hall.
Officers arrived to find that a small four-door car traveling westbound on Culver struck two pedestrians in the crosswalk.
The driver of the vehicle stated he did not see the pedestrians as he approached the crosswalk.
Both pedestrians were transported by ambulance to Hunt Regional Medical Center, though it didn’t appear to first responders that those injuries were life threatening. The driver of the vehicle was not injured.
The pedestrians, as well as the driver of the vehicle are all students at Texas A&M-Commerce.
In response to the accident, university officials will hold a meeting with the Texas Department of Transportation this week regarding the the crosswalk.
David McKenna, A&M-C executive director of facilities and support services, said safety at the crosswalks on Highway 50 and Culver have "always been a concern of the university and, over the past few years, steps to improve the warning lights and crosswalks lighting have been taken."
"We continue to look at ways to improve the crosswalk notification system, and to that end, a meeting with TXDOT will be held this week to discuss additional enhancements," McKenna said.
The City of Commerce and TXDOT share control of Culver Street because it is a city street and a state highway, he said. "The City of Commerce has always supported our safety efforts there," McKenna said.
One of the guys was Josh from our class *if my information is correct*
Last I knew he was still in the hospital.
I almost hit him earlier that night, too...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
There are no words...
FORT WORTH -- Whatever happened to spoiling your grandchildren with cookies?
A gun-toting granny clad in pajamas and house shoes robbed an east Fort Worth convenience store early Thursday, telling the clerk, “I am doing this for my grandkids.”
The robbery occurred about 3:45 a.m. at the RaceTrac convenience store at 1840 Eastchase Parkway.
According to a police report, the woman entered the store, grabbed an orange drink, then told the clerk she needed two cartons of Newport cigarettes and two cigarillos.
The clerk said when he turned around from retrieving her items, the woman pulled a handgun from beneath her pajama top and ordered him to open the main register. She threatened to shoot the clerk if he did not comply, warning “this gun has a hairline trigger.”
The woman fled with the money, cigarettes, and cigarillos. She is described as black with a light complexion, 40 to 50 years of age, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8-inches tall, 160 to 190 pounds. Anyone with information about her identity is asked to call the robbery unit at 817-392-4370.
It Was Just One Of Those Days
Car plows through Commerce store
By DANIEL WALKERA trip to pick up a pizza ended with a car plowing through the front of the Liberty Bonds next to Pizza Hut on Live Oak Street Wednesday night.
Loyd Field said that he was coming to pick up a pizza at about 7:40 p.m. when the accelerator stuck on his Mercury Grand Marquis. “It just wouldn’t stop,” Field said. “The tires were still spinning when the car stopped in the building. I was able to put it in reverse and back out, and then stop.”
Commerce fire chief Brian McNevin said fortunately no one was injured despite the accident occurring in a strip mall with two crowded restaurants. “The car went into a vacant business, between the two restaurants — Subway and Pizza Hut,” McNevin said. “It looks like the accelerator stuck and he couldn’t get it to stop.”
The car and the building suffered extensive damage.
After the accident, firefighters loaded Field’s groceries in their fire engine and then transported Field, his pizza, and the groceries home.
