Did you not click the link in the article?

You can check it yourself:

It shows the site creation date as Dec 11. The shooting didn't go down until the 14th.

That doesn't mean there's not another explanation but it's pretty fucking weird.

So I went and saw Zero Dark Thirty today.

I guess I'm going to have to be one of the few dissenters, but I didn't really get into it. The final act of the film is great, but the first 2/3--at least to me--was boring and largely incoherent. I just felt like they were throwing a bunch of foreign names at me and moving around to a bunch of different foreign places without a lot of explanation or exposition. It didn't take long before I started zoning out and had to keep reminding myself to pay attention. It was to the point to where I was tempted to walk out at one point.

I realize that I'm very much in the minority on this one, but if it hadn't been for the final 45 minutes or so I'd have felt pretty ripped off.

I want to go see that. I also want to go see The Hobbit although I don't remember the LOTR much or if I even liked them. Wanna see the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre too. There is a lot I want to go see actually.

Well I was vaccinated. The doctor told me today a lot of people are improperly vaccinated because it is a two step process and a lot of children do not get the 2nd shot. My girlfriend had a mild case of chickenpox when she was younger, she got it full on on Christmas Eve/Christmas. I was under the assumption I was vaccinated so I didn't think anything of it. Last night: up all night with horrible headache, fever, etc. I noticed some red spots on my arms today and was like "FUCK!" and headed right to the doctors so I could get an anti viral prescription.

That sucks. I remember having the chicken pox when I was 10 and it was miserable.

The Hobbit was okay but it wasn't as good as the LOTR films.

I want to go see Gangster Squad and, when it comes out later this month, Hansel and Gretel.

I also want to see Les Miserables but at the same time I kinda don't.

Random facts about ex-UFC LW/FWs:

In his first fight after being released from his UFC contract, Joe Stevenson was choked out by Dakota Cochrane at RFA 3: Stevenson vs Cochrane.

In his first fight after being released from his UFC contract, Tyson Griffin beat Efrain Escudero via decision at RFA 4: Griffin vs Escudero.

My girlfriend said I would HATE Les Miserables. She said it was 2+ hours of singing and I'd call it gay the whole time.

Apparently I was vaccinated according to my Mom...with both of them. So this is just shitty luck. I really hope I am better by Tuesday so I can not go into my meet with crazy doubts next Saturday. I am losing lots of money not working this weekend too...today and tomorrow at the casino place would have been about $250 and Monday night at the restaurant would have been about $65. So tonight I am hoping to do well on the SF card and in NFL.

I've noticed that the musicals I enjoy the most are those that do a good job of balancing the singing with regular spoken movie dialogue. I really liked Rock of Ages and Nine, for instance. If it's just wall to wall singing then I probably won't get into it.

Also, I hear the movie totally glossed over the fact that 9/11 was an inside job.

Yeah, that was the most unrealistic aspect. . .

I think I have an amazing immune system/recovery because it's been 4 days and I am feeling great right now. The spots I got (there weren't that many..nothing compared to my gfs were) are fading a bit and I am not getting new ones really. I am not itchy. It's like a night alone in my room without the gf and watching Strikeforce cured me.
