Rice at Texas
Texas didn't play great but they still blew out the Rice Owls 51 to 10. We'll need to play better in two weeks when we face Mizzou.

Donnie Darko
Get it from Amazon.com.
Really good movie that a ton of people had been recommending to me. Glad I finally got around to it because I really enjoyed it. Dark but enjoyable humor, wonderful storyline, and not at all predictable.
One of the few movies I watched and then burned to DVD, it's definitely worth watching again.

The Constant Gardener
See more reviews.
I absolutely hated the first hour or so. It was incredibly boring and I wanted to punch Rachel Weisz's character in the face, I couldn't wait for her to die.
Preachy.

NFL season opener in HD
Finally some real life football in HD. I thought I was going to be able to watch some college games last weekend but there weren't any games on (though supposeduly the Miami at FSU was). At least I'll be able to watch two or three NFL games a week with beautiful clarity.

The O.C. season premiere in HD
My biggest problems with soap operas (which is what The O.C. really is) is that so many of the characters are pure evil, for no apparent reason. Jeri Ryan was barely in this episode, but it was clear that she'll cause some sort of trouble just for fun soon. It really annoys me.
Overall a good start to the new season and the first season I'll be watching in high-definition.

Sahara
Get it from Amazon.com.
Not all that good but a mindlessly entertaining movie. The plot is pretty much ridiculous overall and so are most of the plot twists, but there's a ton of good action sequences. Penelope Cruz is really miscast, as she is in any movie in which she's asked to speak English, as a doctor with the World Health Organization (WHO).
It's not good, but I enjoyed it.

Texas vs. ULaLa
Saturday night the Longhorns faced the University of Lousiana-Lafayette in the first game of the 2005 college football season. They played well and won easily, 60 - 3. I live blogged the game over on Bevo Sports.

Best cameo EVER by Neil Patrick Harris/Doogie Howser. Pretty damn funny.

White Chicks
Get it from Amazon.com!
Wow, freaking terrible! Even worse than I could've imagined, and I imagined it was pretty bad. The whole movie is based on the premise that these girls' friends couldn't tell the difference between them and the Wayans brothers dressed as them. I'm embarrassed.
