Greetings from the 47th floor of the Accenture Building in Downtown Chicago!

November 28th, 2002 by Kyle

I just finished watching the Thanksgiving Parade here, and I’ve been inspired to write a set of guidlines for watching a parade. I’ll probably finish it before Thanksgiving break is over. At a later point, if you all beg and plead nicely, I’ll recount the interesting points of my trip. But for now, all you need to know is that the people of Chicago probably have more money than God.

Today’s unjustified, sometimes unseen, movie reviews:

November 26th, 2002 by Kyle

Die another Day: starring Pierce “pretty boy” Brosnan, and Halle “and I would like to thank my hair stylist, chauffer, pizza boy, cab driver, the poor people of Nigeria…” Berry.

I haven’t seen it yet, but it looks to fit the standard Bond mold, lots of overly drawn out sexy woman shots, impossible physics, and explosion galor! (Wow, this sounds like a pretty good movie, I think I’ll have to go see it)

Harry Potter and the Global Marketing Campaign of Doom: starring some wee lads and lasses I’ve never heard off.

The thing about this movie is…Well to start off…You have to understand…the film’s general context…. I haven’t seen and probably won’t until I’m 30 and my kid wants to see and old movie in which the special effects don’t look believable.

8 mile: starring “The most evil rapper alive” ™

If you had…just one chance…one opportunity…to see this movie…would you take…or would you just let it slide? Sorry Marshall, I have to listen to you everyday coming from my roommates speakers, no way on God’s green earth an I going to pay to see you act.

Punch Drunk Love: starring Adam “Stop looking about me swan!” Sandler.

Sole member of the “actually paid 5 bucks and saw this movie” club, I was actually rather impressed, both with Adam Sandler’s acting ability, and this artistic flavor of the film. It’s definately not standard hollywood, but definately orginal and worth seeing the first time.

My classes next semester? POLS

November 24th, 2002 by Kyle

My classes next semester?

POLS 301 Introduction to Political Theory w/ discussion (My last foul breath of Liberal Arts classes)
MATH 250 Mathmatics of Engineering Systems (apparently even Satan is afraid of this class)
AE 445 Aircraft Aerodynamics I (yipee, some AE relief)
CE 310 Strength of Materials w/ lab (I’m ready to break some stuff, how about you?)
AE 291 Aerospace Colliquim (almost 1/2 way done with these things)

all told 15.3 hours and exponentially easier than what I’m taking now.

Survey Says…I’m an Idiot.

November 23rd, 2002 by Kyle

In response to a recent trend, Kyle tries to convince his readers that he indeed has feelings.

Most of you who read know “the girl”, for those of you don’t; ask me and I’ll tell you. 2 weeks ago I went through the whole “confession of feelings” ordeal, and unfotunately didn’t get an answer back, which is pretty messed up, but hey life went on. Now, just when I figured that all hope was lost, she asks me on a “semi-date” which is always good. On the ride home, in my infinate wisdom, asked her why exactly she asked me (that was dumb!) The conversation ended with her saying, “I just tryed to put myself out there a little, give me a freaking break” and slamming the car door. I wrote her an apology letter(for being dumb). so I don’t know where we sit right now. But this is what I know:

1. She is mad
2. I’m an idiot
3. Death and Taxes exist.

and now a little political

November 22nd, 2002 by Kyle

and now a little political poem for your literary pleasure:

I am greedy
I am technology
I am the fuel of terrorism
I am your protection
I have been damned
I am the reason you live
I am discriminated against
I am America

I am middle-class
I am white
I am male
