San Francisco’s Third Eye Blind released Ursa Major in August 2009, which is their first album in six years. Being a former Third Eye Blind fan I took this opportunity to reconnect with my inner liking for rock, and I wasn’t too disappointed.

Overall, their music hasn’t changed much, but it seems to be edgier and more intense, especially in terms of the complexity of the songs. Each song is different, which is something that definitely stood out to me, as songs usually have a similar sound to them on most other artists’ albums.

Last month marked the DVD and Blu-ray release of a movie which has been highly anticipated, 2012. The film is based off the belief that the world as we know it will end in the year 2012.

The film stars John Cusack as Jackson Curtis, a science fiction novelist, and limousine driver. He is divorced, and his wife, Kate (Amanda Peet), lives with their kids and her plastic surgeon boyfriend. One day, John takes his kids on a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park.



From wikipedia:
Richard "Dick" Lane (April 16, 1928 – January 29, 2002) nicknamed "Night Train", was an American football player, best known as a defensive back for the Chicago Cardinals and Detroit Lions. During his rookie season in 1952, Lane established the record for most interceptions in an NFL season (14).

He was born in Austin, Texas, and raised by Ella Lane, a woman who found him abandoned as an infant. After graduation from high school, he spent one year in junior college before dropping out and serving four years in the United States Army.
