My top 10 films:

1) Gladiator - cinematography I'd never seen before and a great soundtrack

3) A Beautiful Mind - a touching soundtrack, and after the twist you have to watch it again

4) A Room with a View - magical, romantic, memorable

5) Matrix Trilogy - the WOW factor never fades

6) Austin Powers - always provides a needed laugh, always quotable

7) The Incredibles - so cool and funny and cool, really the best animation yet

8) The Chronicles of Narnia - I wanted to cry when I saw Aslan and I want to wear those dresses

101 treasure found

In the morning they headed north from the beach. Fighting their way through the thick jungle, over roots, under branches and cutting through stinging plants. They walked all the way across the island towards the lagoon. The map told them that there would be a cave near the east end of the lagoon.

They walked towards the cliffs and at one point had to wade into the warm blue water to get a better chance of finding it.

There was one problem, so many years after the gold was hiden, the tides have rised, covering the hole. It had now became a underwater cavern.

101 Treasure Island

Gabi, being the practical one, decided they ought to head for the island while it was still light outside. He set his coordinates, and glided off on the surface, Richie following in his sea-plane.

They "parked their vehicles" and went for a short recon on the beach and a bit inland, just to make sure they were safe.
Back at the beach now, the sun was getting low, so they set up camp and partied on dudes. Smooth operator that he was, Richie kept his plane stocked like a bar so there weren't short of drinks or luxurious snacks which was a welcome break from the Navy grub on the sub.

At around midnight, Gabi persuaded everyone to get some sleep for the day ahead.

101 Jet Set

Gabi was thirsty, he reached for his water and took a long gulp and whent back to work. 10 mins later he felt weak, 5 mins later he passed out on the floor.

The girls enter and bring the sub up to the surface. Lucs sends out a flare and in twenty mins a small sea plane comes down from the sky.

wohoooooooooo! I got a job! Makes uni Tution so much easier to come by now and a nice soft cusion to fall back on! Unemployment Insurance!!! If I get 300 hours over the summer I can get UI and use that untill I find a new job in Corner Brook!

And today I looked at the CB Uni Campus housing and found that there are bording houses all around the uni, 5 to 20 mins away. That is good and are priced from 350 to 400 a month! Even better. Most are furnished! Yeah! So I don't mind getting on 20 mins from campus that costs 350 a month. I got legs, I can walk! And I applied for on campus work experince program, cross fingers on that. Then I can go from classroom to workplace.
