Day 36: Shudder Island

HALLELUJAH! The week is finally over.....in all seriousness, good riddance...

I'm really excited for the weekend though. Apparently I'm going to a different mountain than last time. Its still in Pennsylvania, but a little bit further west near a place called Mercersburg. For some reason, that name sounds strangely familiar...but I can't quite place it. Do you guys have any idea why that town might be familiar? It sounds like it could have been the place of a battle, possibly civil war, but I'm not sure...

Anyways, I'm all packed and ready to go hit the slopes tomorrow...that is if I actually wake up to begin with. We're leaving at 7 in the morning, so I have to get up at 6:30...on a SATURDAY morning. This is madness...there's no other way to describe it...

Today was a good day. I mean, Friday's are usually the highlight of my week, but today was especially a good day. I got all the hard school stuff confidently out of the way, I got to go home to see the family, and I got to see a fantastic movie: Shutter Island.

It's a psychological thriller that takes place on an island in Boston Harbor that houses the criminally insane. Leonardo DiCaprio is the main character, and believe it or not I was impressed with his performance...DiCaprio has a way with portraying crazy middle-aged men, haha. It's suspenseful at points (hence the title), but its not particularly scary. There are some extremely disturbing images though, so don't expect unicorns pooping rainbows of delight. Personally, I thought it was a great movie, and I highly recommend it to all of those who enjoy the psychological thriller genre. If you're looking for action...you may want to look elsewhere....

Hey, I actually came across some new music today! Tonight, I've decided to recommend "So Contagious" by Acceptance. I'm sure you've never heard of the band (hell, I didn't know about them until 45 minutes ago), but considering they're another member of the alternative genre, you should give them a try. True, "So Contagious" isn't an AMAZING song...in fact it sounds a little generic to me...but I'm all out superb recommendations, so you guys get the next best thing: this song. Enjoy...or die (but not for real because A) that would be really tragic and B) no one would read my blog :/).

It's been a busy day, and I'm in for an even busier day tomorrow...

.....starting at 6:30AM

.....super. :P

G'night Interwebs!
