Summer Wrap Up

So summer is ending. In 1 day I will finally move into my dorm at Middle Tennessee State University. In celebration of this great event, I would like to take a look back on the summer. Primarily the movies and music I enjoyed all summer long.

The following are movies I saw in theaters between May and August. I have rated them on a scale from 1-10. A 1=Fail, 5=Fair, and 10=Fanfreakingtastic (Masterpiece). Only 1 movie I have seen has merited a 10, that being The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy.

X Men Origins: Wolverine - 7

Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian - 3.5

UP - 6...5.5 for the 3D being pointless

Land Of The Lost - 6.5

The Hangover - 8

The Taking Of Pelham 123 - 4

Year One - 7

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - 5

Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs - 7

Public Enemies - 7.5

The Proposal - 7...7.5 the second time around

Drag Me To Hell - 3

State Of Play - 6

Star Trek - 8.5

My Sister's Keeper - 7

I Love You, Beth Cooper - 4

The Ugly Truth - 8.5

Funny People - 6

District 9 - 9

The Goods - 7

The Inglorious Bastards - 8.5

The Perfect Getaway - 6

The Time Traveler's Wife - 7

Post Grad - 5

Here are some of the CD's I purchased this summer, and ratings on the same scale as the movies.

Anjulie -Anjulie - 5

Brad Paisley -American Saturday Night - 5.5

Elvis Costello -Secret, Profane, and Sugarcane - 7

Silversun Pickups -Swoon - 6.5

Thrice -Beggars - 9.5

AFI -Medicate Single - 5

So all in all the summer was pretty good. Lots of good times, plenty of good music and movies, and tons of free time. If I could change a few things about it, I would have had a job (I did try, but no one would hire me for just a summer), not worked at Grace, and gone to school sooner. Also, I probably would have done things a bit different with my relationships. Only a few though. A lot of people I lost touch with for good reasons and I'm really glad I got out of those when I did, but some things I did were just stupid, one thing I can think of specifically. I'm not going to go into that here right now though. Anyway, aside from these last 2-3 weeks of summer I've had a great time, and these last weeks I've just been bored because everyone else was already at school.

So that is my summer wrap up. I will post a lot more often once I get to school. Hopefully at least a short post every day, maybe more videos! Though I really need to get a Flip for that.
