So basically if I donate $50, I can do whatever I want to you. And if I donate $100, I can call you at all hours of the night. ;)



Side note: cost of living is so cheap there. I'm paying $940 rent + $120 utilities, $150 groceries/month, $300 gas for car.

A good life lesson is when you have to complain about something, offer suggestions right after so you don't seem like a conceited you-know-what. It will open up a lot of opportunities for you.

My vote goes to World Cancer Research Fund International because it hits close to home. Any time I get the chance, I always donate to the Susan G. Komen Research Foundation.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — "X-Men: Days of Future Past" is projected to be the fifth best Memorial Day holiday weekend debut in box office history over a four-day period, just behind "Fast & Furious 6″ and above "The Hangover 2."

The seventh installment in the "X-Men" franchise earned $111 million, according to studio estimates on Monday, May 26. Fox updated its holiday weekend projection, taking it up slightly from $91 million to $91.4 million.

2006′s "X-Men: The Last Stand" is still the highest domestic opener of the series, gaining $123 million when it debuted over the Memorial holiday. "Days of Future Past," starring a solid cast including Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Peter Dinklage and Ellen Page, is now the second highest "X-Men" debut.

"We were hoping to get a $100 million in four days and we hoped to broaden the movie out to a more general audience, which has come to fruition from a gender standpoint, age standpoint and race standpoint," said Spencer Klein, senior vice president general sales manager for Fox.

The diverse domestic "X-Men" audience was 56 percent male and 44 percent female. Racially, 53 percent of the audience was white, 20 percent African-American, 14 percent Asian and 13 percent Hispanic.

The attention "Days of Future Past" director Bryan Singer received due a sexual assault lawsuit didn't keep fans away from theaters this weekend.

"We didn't really anticipate that it would," said Chris Aronson, president of domestic distribution for Fox. "It really shouldn't have an impact on audiences and seeing this movie. The audience reactions on a global basis are extraordinarily high, the best of any of our 'X-Men' films."

Globally, "Days of Future Past" earned $282 million with $171 million of that total gained from the international sales in 119 countries, all of which had the "X-Men" film ranked No. 1.

The projected worldwide box office cume of "Days of Future Past" through Monday is an astounding $302 million.

Warner Bros. sci-fi monster smash "Godzilla" dropped to No. 2, but landed solidly with $39.4 million from Thursday to Monday.

The Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore-led comedy "Blended" held the third place spot with an $18.2 million debut. It's not a great start for the duo whose previous team-ups included "The Wedding Singer" and "50 First Dates." Both films grossed over $80 million domestically.

"Neighbors" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2″ rounded out the top five earning $17.2 million and $10 million, respectively.

The four-day Memorial weekend is estimated to generate nearly $230 million, which is down approximately 27 percent from last year's holiday weekend gross of $314.2 million.

Apparently This Matters: America invades virtual Denmark
From CNN



I once stayed at a youth hostel in Copenhagen called Sleep in Heaven. Which sounds quite pleasant until you realize that, apparently, heaven is cold and damp and completely infested with bedbugs.

I guess that's the part they don't tell you in Sunday school.

"No, no. It's great. Nothing to worry about. Beautiful white robes. Big puffy clouds. Probably a salad bar."

But there were none of those. Just bed bugs.

Something was rotten in the state of Denmark.

The next day, bitten and disgusted, I literally ran to catch a train to Berlin and haven't had pleasant thoughts about that country since.

This was back in 2003. The tortured memories persist and still haunt my dreams.

Which is why, the other day, almost eleven years later, I was delighted to learn that the United States finally invaded Denmark, set it on fire, and raised the American flag.

Sort of.

Here's what happened.

There's a wildly popular computer game called "Minecraft" where, as best I understand it, players build highly imaginative environments and constructions using 3D cubes. It's sort of like a modern, digital-version of Lego, but without the risk of waking up the neighbors when you step barefoot on a wayward block.

"Harold, I think Paul next door is constipated again."

"Mark it on the chart, Diane."

Now, I've never actually played this game because I'm a grown man with far more important things to do like tweeting and running my pretend fantasy football sports dynasty.

So, to the millions of fine people who play "Minecraft," I sincerely apologize for oversimplifying your beloved game. It's all just too complicated, for I have six functioning brain cells, and five of them are dedicated to breathing and blinking.

But, from what I can tell, part of the fun in "Minecraft" is creating these new virtual worlds and exploring those of others.

And it's also a way to re-imagine worlds that already exist.

So, the Danish government sanctioned the creation of a replica version of their country within "Minecraft" to use as a progressive teaching tool for schoolchildren, educating them about Denmark's geography.

Really, it was a wonderfully creative and virtuous idea.

Thus, cyber vandals promptly decided to blow it up.

Somehow, these vandals were able to infiltrate virtual Denmark while sneaking in virtual dynamite, at which point they virtually demolished parts of virtual Copenhagen.

What's interesting is that the use of this virtual dynamite was actually banned on the Danish server. But the ever-cunning vandals discovered they could sneak it in inside a virtual mining cart.

Which is both amazing and ridiculous .. that it should come to this.

But through their virtual sneak attack invasion, the vandals proudly constructed virtual American flags all over town, and built virtual signs reading: AMERICA.

(Forgive me for a moment as I cue some Lee Greenwood and dab these red, white, and blue tears of pride rolling down my cheeks.)

Initially, it was believed that the virtual damage was virtually catostraphic and virtually widespread. However, Chris Hammeken, an actual spokesperson from the Danish Geodata Agency, explained to the BBC, "Only a minor area was destroyed."

There was no official word on whether or not a virtual Sleep In Heaven youth hostel was annihilated in the process.

I guess a man can dream.

Though the Danish Geodata Agency was quickly able to fully "repair" the "destruction," there was no fixing the psychological damage. Soon after the attack, images appeared on a "Minecraft" forum, and Denmark's defeat had officially gone public. And viral.

Now, understand that I'm not an outwardly patriotic individual. But, despite the fact that -- all kidding aside -- Denmark really is a beautiful country with incredibly happy, intelligent, and peaceful citizens, I have to admit that, upon reading about this I felt a rather large twinge of U.S.A. pride.

The whole thing was just so absurd and wonderfully American.

Oh, that it should come to this.

I've taken it four times now, and it's pretty much bs in my opinion. My brother got a 2250 overall score, yet got a 2 on the essay. I got a 1900, yet a 4 on the essay. He's 3 years older than me and a far better writer. The SAT doesn't actually show how much you really know, and I'm glad that it only is a small portion of your overall college application.

:o 2250?! He could get into all of the Ivy League schools with that! Yeah, the SAT test is quite BS and the makers of the test are finally realizing that. They also noticed people were favoring the ACT more as well.

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is the SAT test? Is there one for every subject? Or is it more of an aptitude test on top of your subjects (also what is the level of study when applying for college - AP or something?)?

The SAT test is basically something the CollegeBoard says you need to take to refine your reading, writing, and mathematical skills. Over the years, less people have been taking it because it costs money ($38 when I took it ages ago) and it doesn't allow students to show their superiority in certain subjects. The main SAT test has the aforementioned topics, but you can choose to get a specialized test in a certain subject like biology or history. Students have began taking the ACT because those are solely one subject of your choosing. The SAT test is just a hassle really. For me, the test was held at 7am on a Saturday morning in a school that was 30 miles away. You sit in a classroom and take this timed exam, get watched and you can't go back to previous sections.

So, to answer your question, yes - it is a sort of aptitude test. Colleges look at the scores and use that to determine whether you will be admitted into their institution or not.

Fun fact: I took the SAT twice and got the same score twice. It really does not show how well you perform in these subjects because the "SAT words" are freaking outrageous. I got a 1370 out of 2400, but for the state test I had to take (a whole different thing) I got a perfect score on the writing. Oddly enough, people who are good in English get better scores on the math section of the SAT. That's what happened to me.
