Is that a ½ full or a ½ empty kind of half? Being pedantic I would opt for the ½ full as that is definitely more than a ½ empty, which is perhaps where the 6% comes in. Anyway, one further point, don't forget if "One Bean + One Bean = Some Beans" then "Two Beans + Two Beans = A small casserole". I sense a whole new branch of mathematics could be created (<a href="http://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/Bistromatics" rel="nofollow">Bistromatics</A> perhaps?) G :D Just love it – 56% = half?

To Do lists are fine, but it means you have actually look at them. Setting alarms helps too. As with everything, prioritizing is key, and you already know that. :) Too many lists? Make a master one (been there), and prioritize them too, sort of like bubbles in a bubble, or branches of a tree, or whatever analogy you care to pose. In the meantime, you can invest in earplugs! :) Cheers! Procrastination is the bane of us all. To Do lists are fine, but it means you have actually look at them. Setting alarms helps too.

I too loved physics - I loved the part where my first Physics teacher told me it was ok, in fact it was imperative, to question everything - as at eleven years old, I had just decided that since no one seemed interested in my constant questioning, maybe I'd better just accept everything 'as is'. Suddenly my curious mind was vindicated! Yes, I loved Physics. ;-) I love your logic!

I hope you had a good experience. I always try to watch all the credits after every movie. There is a lot of information in the credits that interests me and can be useful for writing about films. There are so many names and companies that I recognize now after seeing so many films that I look for them in the credits, and I also love to read about how movies were made. So when I saw that clip at the end of Rise of the Planet of the Apes it was not that much of a surprise as I have seen this done in many other films, but you're right most people got up at the beginning of the credits and when that clip comes on everyone just froze to see what it was about. I guess it can be annoying if you don't like sitting through credits because you might miss something. If you're the type that doesn't sit through credits than you probably missed the extra clips at the end of all the Pirates of the Caribbean films, the Iron Man films, Incredible Hulk and Thor, just to name a few and many others. A lot of comedies like to put bloopers throughout the credits too. I know it's annoying to sit through credits when everyone is leaving the theatre and passing in front of you but I find it's worth it. Thanks Mark for visiting my blog.

First, I didn't want to see this movie (it was my wife's choice). Second, we were out of our seats and marching towards the door when this extra scene popped up. Shocked, we stopped and set in totally new seats in hopes of not missing what happened next. Simultaneously other people walked right out the door. Others tried to come back in as the heard the room go from loud to silent. In short, it was sheer madness!!!! Thanks for a great post.
