Top Five Guy Movies
This is a survey. What are your top five 'guy' flicks of all time?
I've got:
1) The Rock
2) Top Gun
3) Die Hard (any of them)
4) Bad Boys (1 or 2)
5) Braveheart (great storyline for both genders, but absolutely guyish for the battle scenes)
What do you think?

Midterm season over... I wish!
So I've had my first round of midterms returned, and the results were less than superb, but not absolutely disastrous. I managed to squeak effective passes in two of the midterms (ie as close to 50 as you can get), got an expected 60 on another, and bullshat my way to a 70 on the third. The only bright spot, my physics midterm, hasn't been returned yet due to Prof. Hanes getting Avian Flu.
I'm now sitting in the Chem building waiting for my 11:30 to start. I've got a midterm in this class tomorrow, and it's gonna be rough. The prof is out to make undergrads realize just how good we've had it so far.
For those of you who have managed to move on with their lives and are no longer writing midterms, exams, quizzes - I hate you.
Unrelatedly, I've started swimming again. I only managed 20 lengths last night (500 m) before my arms got too tired. I'm going to keep going regularly and try to be at 1500 m in 45 mins within a month. I figure it'll be two weeks of nasty times before I can really go hard at it. I'm going to try to go three mornings a week from 7:15 to 8:15... we'll see how well that plan works. Oh, my new goggles are awesome!

Input please...
I'm considering purchasing a laptop in the next little while. I need some general input as to what you all think would be the best way to go - Mac or PC.
I'm not really worried about the money end of things, so don't let that be one of the factors when comparing the two.
And Steve, that's a boss chicken vs. peter figurine. I need one.

Hockey Predictions
I don't like making too many predictions about how the hockey season will end up (unlike a certain HERO of a swede), but with my favorite team having three 4-goal scorers in the past 3 games, I can't resist.
1) Toronto will make the playoffs. Shocking that this comes as my number one prediction? I hope so.
2) Ottawa will face Toronto in the 2nd round, and will win in 6 games. There is NO way this team is losing to TO 4 out of 7. They're too damned scary.
3) Sens/Red Wings for the cup. There are very few teams that I feel will challenge the Sens this year for the cup. Red Wings, Flyers, and Canucks are about it. The Flyers and Wings in particular scare the hell out of me.
4) St. Louis doesn't make the playoffs. Duh. Lalime!!!
I have no idea if any of these claims are legit and/or will hold up. I mostly just want to put a few things out there. Am I way too confident? Likely. Am I legit in being this confident? Absolutely. Does Steve's mom do it like that? You betcha.
