I have been busy with training but found time this morning, aka noon, to read through some of the comments which I often forget I possess. One, a ways back, asked for a top 5 of my delights. This list is really the express lane or maybe even the HOV into my heart…only you don’t need 2 people to get there, you can probably just get a cardboard cut out of Michael Jordon as featured in Home Alone.

1. Thai food

2. Any knowledge pertaining to the X-Files

3. Amazing thrift store finds: members only jackets, cheesy xmas sweaters with sholder pads, romance novels (Savage Thunder), giant mens underwear, etc.

4. Thinking about or pulling off pranks: farting in a reslife professional staff members chair 100 times and keeping a secret tally in the office. When I'm older I plan to tell people plotlines of famous movies and claim I was there. Such movies include; Jaws, Godfather, Titanic, Moulin Rouge, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, the possibilities are endless. Also I want to follow people around in some form of a motorized chair.

5. Making fun of bad media: Hunter, Macgyver, basically anything from the 80s, the soap opera Passions is always good for a laugh, and of course the endless supply of commercials.

Now I shall I digress into one such commercial. Over break I kept seeing ads for Open Water which was now available on DVD, thankfully. Now in it they show some clips of two people surrounded by some open water of the ocean and they are flipping out a bit. The announcer of the add claims that critics called it "the best shark movie since Jaws."

Now at first I bought it completely. But the second and third times through I began to question this claim. Exactly how many other shark movies occurred since Jaws?

Well, there was of course Jaws II (not bad, kinda like Jaws all over again but without the crazy boat guy), Jaws III (takes place at seaworld), Jaws: The Revenge (in which the mother from the original has the shark follow her to the Caribbean where she, her older son Michael, his friend who says "Mon" a lot, and Michael Cain send electric current into the shark causing it to jump completely out of the water so they can steer the front of their boat into it, thus stabbing and killing Jaws)
Then let's not forget Deep Blue Sea, fully of wonderful CG sharks and Samuel L. Jackson with LL Cool J as the chef.

So as for Open Water being the best shark movie since Jaws….that's not that great of an accomplishment.
