Updates: WCMI, HISHE, and The Blind Side

Ok you guys, do you remember when I told you about the web comic/story called "When Curiosity Met Insanity"? Well it just came back this month! They've got an all new post and they said they're coming up with more now that a huge load of busy-ness is off their shoulders! Yay!!

Anyways, in other news, I'm still pretty busy, and also kinda tired. Getting up at three in the morning for Black Friday shopping may have something to do with it... Oh, by the way, Happy late Thanksgiving!!! Hope your turkey day was awesome!

Let's see... What else can I share...

Oh, How It Should Have Ended is back with new updates too! Latest ones they've ended are Terminator, Transformers 2, and Twilight. Twilight ended awesomely, I might add, even though I've never seen the movie.

Ok, on Thanksgiving, I saw The Blind Side. It's about this kid who grew up in a really bad neighborhood in Tennessee, and how he surpasses everyone's expectations.

What happens is, he's being taken care of by this guy who is trying to get him and this other kid into a fancy private Christian school. Unfortunately, Big Mike has been getting straight D's and his gpa was... I think 0.6 or 0.06. Eventually he gets admitted into the school, but he's still not doing very well, and he has to bring his grades up in order to try out for sports.

One chilly evening, he's walking down the sidewalk to his shelter of the gym, when a family pulls up in their car. The mother gets out and walks up to him, asking if he has a place to stay. Big Mike nods. She tells him not to lie to her and asks the question again. He shakes his head no. She brings him to the car and lets him sleep in her living room.

Soon they go out to get his clothes (because he's not going to leave) and he tells her that he hates the name Big Mike. From there on out, he's Michael.

With her help, and that of a tutor and all his teachers (except his English teacher), Michael brings his grades up enough to play football. At first, he's not all that great, though he shows promise, and S.J., the mom's son, coaches him along.

I'm not going to spoil the end for you, but it is a heartwarming tear-jerker of a movie and I'll definitely see it again sometime.

Til next week,
