Compaq laptops

No buy. Even if it's cheap. Mine was only 1 year old before the wireless (wtf? you say) stopped working. It took them 2.5 weeks to change the motherboard, and university without a computer is asking for trouble.
At least now it's back and everything (including shipping) was free thanks to Staples' great warranty.
Anyway, here is the october-half-november graph ! Still grinding and hopefully will get to NL25 in about 1-2 weeks:

BTW I bought a 24" screen, it's so great and now I can 6 tables instead of 4 and still being more concentrated than before.

24" of love. Gf says it's throwing money out of the window but w/e

W.

I went to see W. yesterday and thought this was a good spot to steal milkman's concept of movie reviews. I was very enthusiastic prior to seeing the movie and I must say it did not disappoint me.

Oliver stone (World trade center (2006), Alexander (2004) and such) portrayed Bush son as an overconfident man with limited intellect. We get to see W. Bush's life from a human point of view, from his 20's up to now.

Actor Josh Brolin studied hard to mimic Bush almost perfectly, how he talks, how he walks, just how Texan he is. He made a really good job looking like a retard that still can be admired by the American people somehow.
James Cromwell was Bush father. It was really interesting to have a (very) short review of his 2-part presidency. You could tell the resemblances between the two men, while it was obvious that the first was brilliant while the second is the just the son.
In short, the movie explains how Bush son came from being an alcoholic ass in his 20s to an almost extremist christian president. It shows how Bush heavily relied on his advisors (mostly Dick Cheney who really is a dick in that film) and how they could make him do whatever they want because he is so naive and doesn't understand shit. In big, it excuses him for his sins by saying that he is stupid.
I think I don't hate him anymore, I have pity for him and for the American people who voted for a guy that was probably far from being as intelligent as the average American. Did I say they voted for him twice ?

Really good movie, serious subject with good load of laughs. Stunning acting (and make-up) for all the actors that look just like the actual politicians. Probably way better than Max Payne 
I guess the launch of the film in theaters only half a month before the elections is no coincidence. I'd bet a 2$ that Stone is gonna vote for Obama.
