SPADES

Spades is a card game that can be played in two people or four people in pairs of two. Played with a standard 52 card deck. Spades is always trump. Other suits have no intrinsic value during play, but a card of the suit led in the current trick will beat a card of any other suit except a Spade. If a tiebreaker is needed in a draw for deal, the most common suit order from low to high is Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades. Rank of cards (descending): Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. The object of the game Score the most points; points are accrued by winning at least the number of tricks (also known as "books") bid in each hand, and are lost by failing to take at least that many (or in some cases by taking too many). During building a player can call a nil, which means to take none. If a player takes any tricks while trying to achieve a nil they lose the value of the nil from their score; a nil is worth 50 points. The game is won when a player/team scores 500 points...

HURRAY PARKOUR

Due to recent adventures of mine I have grown to enjoy a particularly fun, yet dangerous hobby. Even though parkour is technically neither a hobby, nor a sport, it is fun none the less. Parkour is the philosophy that any obstacle can be concerned, through proper technique and in an efficient manor. Parkour is simply to move through ones environment in the most efficient manor (usually neglecting the paths laid out.) Due to this change in mindset, everything looks just a little smaller (figuratively of course.) Thus traveling from place to place on foot is much faster than it once was.

Time Capsule 2109

If my class was to make a time capsule and place items, representing who we are, in it so that people in 2109 could view; I would put a list of our names, talents, and what makes us, us. So that in 100 years people will be able to look back and see what we are, or in their case were, like...

Who's Watching The Watchmen?!

Arguably one of the greatest graphic novels of all time, the Watchmen has recently been transferred onto the big screen. In my personal, and analytical, opinion I personally enjoyed the movie. Though having read the book, I was very disappointed in some of the pains that came with the transfer.

Some of the simple, yet major details were changed completely. (I will not state them because I don't wish to spoil the movie for anyone who has yet to see it.) However, major plot twist were altered, and an eventual outcome with one character was changed. Even though, I must say that the characters were very well represented. (SPOILER ALERT!!!) Rorschach's death was more emotional and dramatic in the movie than in the comic. Jackie Earle Haley did a PERFECT rendition. Movie go-ers were both in a sense repulsed by him, yet felt deeply sorry for him, and by the end fell in love with the very misunderstood hero.

Billy Crudup did an exceptional job as Dr. Manhattan, and Patrick Wilson did so as the second Night Owl. Mathew Goode's performance as Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias was amazing even though, without a doubt, Jackie Earle Haley's performance was undoubtedly the best and may even be Oscar worthy.
