  What a busy weekend!

  First:  Off to Silent Hill:

  

  On Friday night Raquel and I went to see Silent Hill. 
  It was both great and bad; the acting was really awful and took away
  some of the experience.  Seriously, the lead actress did some
  stuff that make you go “what the hell?”. 

  However, what the movie does well is the creep out scenes.  Holy
  crap, I would be having nightmares if i was 13 years old!  They
  did a good job giving you that feeling of dread each time the siren
  rang.  Everything is dark and rusty and ahhh!

  Even with it flaws, this movie is probably the best adaptation of a
  game to the movie screen.  If only the acting was a little bit
  more realistic this would have been one of the better creepy movies
  I’ve seen.  All i can say now is that the parts that were good in
  the movie were really good while the bad parts were really bad. 

  Pros:  great graphics, CGI, good environment
  Con:  confusing plot, bad acting, unreal character actions

  
  Chan’s Silent Hill rating:  C+

  Raquel and I got there kinda late, but we still had a great time! 
  You guys should have gone; definitely worth the 10 bucks to get
  in!  Caricatures, free food, free drinks, free prizes, easy
  carnival games, gladiator joust fighting, mechanical bull, dodgeball
  inside a moon bounce, oxygen bar, Taking Back Sunday Concert (which
  wasn’t that bad!)…yea, definitely worth the money.

  Look, I’m getting drawn!

  
  Final product (my eyebrows aren’t THAT bushy are they??)

  Look, it’s Katie Couric!

  
  Best prize ever

  Pool Party

  After hanging out w/ raquel at CP i headed back down to UMBC for the
  FYC Pool Party!  WOOOO!  Actually it was more of a social
  amongst the FYCers haha.  there were a couple of other people, but
  for the most part it was just us.  Still, I had fun and i stayed
  there a lot longer than I thought.
