Short posts the second...
Mar. 25th, 2008 12:09 pmToday was TEST DAY for hubby. The RN exam works thusly- you register with testing company (i.e. send them lots of money), they verify that you're allowed to take the test, and then send you an Authorization to Test. You then are allowed to select a test date.
The TEST DAY arrives and you show up at the testing facility half an hour early. Then you take the test. Now, there are a minimum of 75 questions to answer. The answers go into an algorithm and if, after 75 questions, it determines that you've passed- the test shuts down. Similarly- if it determines you're just too dumb and will never pass- it shuts off. If it can't decide- you get more questions. When it decides- it just shuts off. Note- it never actually tells you that you've done well or poorly.
So after 75 questions, Hubby's test shut off. He is of course convinced that means he completely bombed the test. I think the opposite. :) In three days or so we'll know.
The most important thing is that it's DONE!

Mar. 25th, 2008 02:08 pmShoot 'Em Up is a fantastic action movie! OMG! So much fun to watch.
In brief- random guy (Mr. Smith) comes to the assistance of a pregnant woman, as bad guys are attempting to kill her. Baby is born. Mayhem ensues. There is much gun fire, utterly OMG!! scenes, and an interesting rather anti-gun message. Oh, and carrots. Lots of carrots.
Other fun bits- Mr. Smith just does these things... like they're driving down the road and this jerk in an expensive car (I can't remember if it's a BMW or Mercedes) is just switching lanes- no turn signal... Just being a jerk. So Mr. Smith goes on a rant about 'how hard is it to use a turn signal!?' and then runs the jerk off the road.
I was cheering.
So I cheered, I laughed, I cringed... FUN! Totally unbelievable- and it knows that. Then again, there are some scenes that are realistic- okay, the reaction to one scene is spot on.
OH! And it has one of the best sex scenes in an action movie. Not as graphic as some- just yeah... *laughs*
So dear reader, if you are a fan of action movies, like to laugh, and love gun shoot outs- I highly recommend Shoot 'Em Up!
