Shia LaBeouf IS Marlon Brando

If you've seen the new Indiana Jones film, AND you know what a young Marlon Brando looks like, then hopefully you have seen the similarities in looks between the two actors. Nothing in Hollywood happens by accident, so I'm sure that making Shia look like Brando's character from "The Wild One" was done on purpose, but the resemblence is UNCANNY. The hat, the leather jacket, and the bike are all replicated in Indiana Jones IV by LaBeouf's character, Mutt. Check it out.

Almost done!
I finished writing the thesis yesterday! I was not planning on finishing it, but everytime I was about to walk away, a flash of inspiration came for me to write down. It's currently around 22 pages, but that will go up once I finish all of my references and formatting. That's today's goal. Even though proofing and formatting sounds like a quick easy job, I know it will take me longer than I think. I hate rereading my own stuff. I tend to miss mistakes, because I know what I want to say and how it should read, so I tend to accidentally miss the little mistakes. Anyways, time to hit it.

Thesis Update
Well, I'm sixteen pages done so far, and I think that puts me about 2/3 of the way through. It's going okay, but I can safely say that I would rather be gaming than doing homework about homework. Arg. Along that line, I graduated as an English major (and yes even we make typos and grammar mistakes, so if there are any in my blogs, deal with it), so I got used to using the MLA citation format. This thesis, on the other hand, needs to be done in APA format. I don't get APA. I mean I'm getting used to it, but I just don't see why the form exists at all any more. It's an outdated citation format and very easy to fake sources with. I haven't yet, but it wouldn't be hard since you NEVER have to provide page numbers for any sources you use or quote. You just have to say that you used the source, which means my quote could be found ANYWHERE in the entire document, article, or book. Well, back to work.

On to the next
The school year is over, and my classroom is more or less cleared out. It's getting remodeled, so I have to get everything out. Now that my teaching year is over, it's time for me to begin again my own education. I am completely done with my masters education except for the thesis. My topic has been approved, I'm more or less done with all of the research, so all that's left to do is write the uber-paper. Here's the kicker, I am not at all motivated to do any of it anymore. Why's that the kicker you ask? Well it has to do with my thesis topic. My topic is "What makes effective homework" and one of the biggest factors that contributes to homework being effective is student motivation. Yep, you read that right, I'm completely burned out on doing my project on motivating homework. Anyway, now that school is out I have no reason to procrastinate any longer, so today I start writing.

RROD Update
Got my box back after only a week. FedEx flies, ,but my concern is, MS repair had my 360 for under 24 hours, and they shipped me the same 360 I shipped them. I have sent in a RROD console three times now, making this my fourth 360 (I suppose third since it's the same one). How do I know that they even did anything to it? Also, my three year "extended" MS warranty is up in 3 months. I have sent a 360 in for repair every 6-8 months of owning one. What happens in September if I RROD AGAIN?

RROD . . . again
Well game fans, it's official. I just RROD for the third time. I will now be using my fourth 360 console. MS is giving me expedited shipping to and from, plus a month of XBL for free. They are finally requiring me to ship the power supply and cords this time too. I would love to say I think it crashes because I'm gaming too much, but honestely I only get in about 5 hours per week (spread over 7 days). You do the per day math. As for keeping it cool, it's off the carpet and out in the open. Let's just hope number 4 lasts this time because at this rate MS's three year warranty extension isn't going to cover me.
