  LOS ANGELES- The ancient
  battle of Thermopylae was the stuff of 2007′s first certified
  blockbuster as the bloody action tale “300″ debuted with $70 million
  over opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.

  That’s about $233,000 for every one of the legendary 300
  Spartan soldiers who fought off a much larger Persian force in the epic
  battle.

  “On a Spartan-by-Spartan basis, that’s a lot of money,”
  said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By
  Numbers. “Summer came a little early, because this is a summer-style
  opening.”

  The number of movie-goers for the Warner Bros. epic “300″
  outnumbered crowds for the rest of the top-10 movies combined. If the
  estimate holds when final numbers are released Monday, “300″ would
  break the record for best March debut ever, topping the $68 million
  haul for “Ice Age: The Meltdown” last year.

  WOW….Go watch it if you haven’t seen it yet!  Good for guys and girls, but not quite good for little kids (for oh, a few reasons ).  I can’t believe I saw some parents bring their little son to my screening, who didn’t look much older than 10 years old.  I mean I know you can’t shelter your child from the world, but damn…this isn’t the right movie to to show to someone that young .  Alright no more ranting on that issue.

  In other news…I’ve been sick for the past week (as was Kevin and later on Jeff), but I’m starting to feel better.  Taking that psyc assessment test was not a fun time; not that the test was all that hard but the walk there was horrible!  I really felt like i was gonna fall over at any moment.  Luckily once I sat down I didn’t feel as bad…hope I did ok, because I don’t really remember too much from that day haha.

  This week should be a little easier.  All I really got is my Science mid-term.  Once that’s done, it’s Spring Break wooo!  Not sure what I’m gonna do yet for the first part (besides work on some scholarships), but I DO know who I’m finally gonna see during the last weekend. So excited for Snow Patrol!  Can’t wait:
