The Summer movie season officially kicked off last weekend and the numbers showed it.  X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the latest installment in the X-Men franchise starring Hugh Jackman reprising his role as clawed-mutant Wolverine, debuted #1 at the box office with an estimated haul of $87.0 million.  This marks the largest weekend opening so far this year.  Matthew McConaughey's lastest romantic comedy, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, debuted at #2 with an estimated $15.3 million opening weekend while last week's #1, Obessed, starring Idris Elba(of The Wire fame) and Beyonce Knowles, came in at #3 with an estimated gross of #12.2 million.

There are a lot of games that I am looking forward to this year.  Now that I also have a PS3, there are even more games to choose from.  I haven't decided on which games I anticipate more than others, so I'll just give an alphabetical list:

Alpha Protocol
Bionic Commando
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
Halo 3: ODST
Halo Wars
inFAMOUS
Killzone 2
Mafia II
Resident Evil 5
Starcraft II

They aren't really official college textbooks.  They are for my Web Scripting class this Spring semester.  Due to the class size(only 5 of us are signed up), it has become an independent study class, which means that there are not any set class times and we meet with the professor individually at any time to complete projects while we learn the material on our own.  Our professor has allowed up to purchases whatever books we want to to learn the material that is expected to be learned, which is will be the programming languages JavaScript, Perl, and PHP.  I just purchases these books via Amazon just about an hour ago.
