At Least Jessica Alba Is Hot

March 10, 2007 3:05 AM

or some reason, I stayed up way later last night than I had originally intended; I didn't go to bed until abou 5am. Then I woke up at about ten so that I could get to school in time to do the Law Review stuff I had to do today. Once I got going, it was a pretty productive day, especially thanks to a few 2Ls that worked their asses off today.

After leaving school and faced with the prospect of (gasp) free time, I decided to go deposit a few checks at the bank. While I was there, I exchanged one of my dollar bills for one of those new-fangled president dollars:


I've gotta say that I kinda like the coin, although I still think that the coin's not going to be as popular as the dollar. The fact is that I'd much rather carry ten dollar bills than ten dollar coins. Large quantities of coins are just annoying to carry. In any event, I like the design, and I really like the writing on the edge of the coin:


I wonder, though--why the fuck does George Washington look so pissed? His eyebrows are furrowed and he's sporting one hell of a scowl. Is the U.S. Mint trying to tell us that he'd be pissed at us for the state of our country? Who the hell knows, but it's kind of disconcerting--I don't like feeling like my money's judging me.

Although Friday night is usually my friends' poker night, we didn't play tonight because Laurence wasn't feeling well or some such shit. So, I ended up going over to Mr. Utah's and watching the Fantastic Four, which was an unbelievably bad movie. There were so many problems with the plot it wasn't even funny. For example, if, after the accident that gave them their powers, the Fantastic Four are hanging out in Switzerland, how can the Thing walk, in what is presented as a matter of minutes, to New York City? Why would Von Doom industries just happen to have sunk millions of dollars into the development of a "hyper-freezing machine"? And, for the love of god, if the fucking machine that can return the Fantastic Four to their normal states works and isn't broken, why doesn't the Thing just switch back to being normal whenever he doesn't need his super strength and shit?

Anyway, the movie sucked. Tomorrow, though, we're going to see 300, which I hope will not suck. In any event, Jessica Alba is hot:

I'm still convinced that it was better than (1) Daredevil, (2) Catwoman, and (3) Ghost Rider.

I hear that the next superhero movie is going to be Captain America, which I anticipate being a gigantic failure.

Saying that a movie's better than Catwoman's not really saying much. I don't know if it was better than Daredevil, honestly. Daredevil was really, really bad. On the other hand, Jessica Alba is way hotter than Jeniffer Garner. So, I'd probably have to say that Fantastic Four was better, but not by much. I haven't seen Ghost Rider, but I don't see how it couldn't be worse.

Any Captain America movie will suck simply because Captain America sucks hard. He's one of the stupidest superheroes ever.

one or two of my republican friends were pissed that the text "in god we trust" was moved to the edges of the new dollars. they ignored any appeal to the separation of church and state and continued complaining that "they" were trying to phase out god from our money. this of course completely ignores the fact that if you rub the outside edge with a pencil then roll the coins it says "in god we trust" on the paper.

George Washington is scowling because he never had a sex ed class to teach him about the horror that is syphilis.

And frankly - do you want to see some guy with nasty wooden teeth and diseased gums smiling at you? I don't think so.

Boy, I stop looking at your weblog for the weekend and I miss Jessica Alba. I suck.

She *is* hot, there is no denying. Excellent pic.

Meanwhile, dollar coins! They are the dumbest thing ever. They need to make them compatible with vending machines/turnstiles/etc if they want them to succeed, otherwise they're just loose change we mistake for quarters at 7-11.
