Let’s face it, in today’s technological world, if you are planning to go mobile, the iPhone seems to be the way to go. It is almost like carrying around your own tiny personal computer. I personally don’t have one…yet. I say “yet” because I do plan to get one within the next six months to a year. And of course, when I do get one, I am going to need some iPhone accessories in order to enhance my mobile experience. I think it’s a good idea to start looking around for those accessories now.
Today, I was browsing around the web looking for an iPhone case and came across the coolest thing I’ve seen in years! Check it out! It’s an XtremeMac Sportswrap Armband Case! This kind of thing is perfect for me, because I ride a bike or walk wherever I go (since my poor car got wrecked - don’t feel sorry for me, I need the exercise). I would highly recommend this case to anyone who takes part in sports or someone who walks or jogs everyday to stay fit and healthy. Hey, that’s what being mobile is all about, right?
However, if you drive a car, you may want to invest in an iPhone car charger. Believe me, if I have a new car by the time I have an iPhone, I will definitely get one of these. When out and about, no one wants to have to search around for an electrical jack to plug in your phone if it the battery gets low, now do they? Of course not. That is why it is always good to have one of these around.
If you already have an iPhone, or you’re planning to buy one and you’re looking around for accessories, I recommend you check out MobileFun. Looks like they have everything you will need.

CashPirate - My New Favorite GPT Site
I know, it has been ages since I posted here, but to tell you the truth, I haven't had internet at home. Actually, I still don't, but I have moved my computer to my daughter's house, which is only a couple of blocks from my house, so I'm online quite often now. So, without further ado...
MY NEW FAVORITE GPT SITE!
I figured now would be a good time to mention my new favorite GPT (get-paid-to) site. Ever since SWATcash shut down, (and oh, how depressing that was), it has been difficult for me to find another place that even comes close to what that place was. But thanks to my friend, Geek Dad, I have found that place - and it is called
CashPirate!
At CashPirate, you can earn money by signing up for FREE offers and surveys. The biggest reason you should join this site is because once you reach $4.99, you can cashout via Paypal, and be paid INSTANTLY! This is no joke, folks. You do not have to wait for payments. As soon as you click the Cashout button, you are paid!
NOTE: Make sure you've rounded off your cashout to the nearest cent, (e.g. $5.32 and not $5.325 - get it?) OR, if Paypal happens to be doing maintenance at the time you try to cashout, then it probably won't go through and you'll need to try again after Paypal finishes maintenance.
Other payment options are eBay and Amazon gift cards. There are also offers you can complete that have a point value. You can save up those points and redeem them for a variety of prizes like gift cards, cash, and t-shirts.
I know for a fact that CashPirate is a legitimate, paying site. Here is proof of my last three payments, all of them paid instantly via Paypal.
Yes, I know it says gptCOMMISSION, but that is their business name in Paypal.MORE!
Don't forget to check out CashPirate's cool treasure quest. Once you have completed certain tasks on the site, such as completing offers or referring new members, you will unlock a quest item, (i.e. compass, map, gun, etc.). Once you've unlocked all 10 items, you can then see the treasure you've won. I don't personally know anyone who has completed the quest yet. I, myself, am only halfway there. But I don't really want to know what it is until I get there.
Oh and one more thing: you can follow CashPirate on Twitter: @CashPirate. I suggest you follow them if you're a Twitter user, because they frequently give out promotional codes there.

Plot
Spoiler Alert!
The film opens with a monologue by Sonja about the vampires and Lycans and how the vampires began enslaving the Lycans. It also shows Lucian's birth from a captive Lycan and how Viktor spared him (killing the lycan mother), making him the first Lycan able to take human form. Then it fast fowards to Lucian's teen years as he spars with a group of Death Dealers and defeats them all. Viktor, genuinely impressed, decides to make more Lycans for the benefit of the coven. Unknown to Viktor, his young daughter, Sonja, develops an attraction to the young Lycan, and Lucian becomes fond of Sonja as well.
After the title, a Death Dealer is shown riding through a small chasm while being trailed by wild Lycans that are unable to assume human form, unlike their civil brethren. When they make it to the field, more vampires begin shooting at the Lycans with crossbows. Lucian kills two Lycans just about to leap on the Dealer and kills one just as it enters the coven's walls. Viktor comes out and the Dealer is revealed to be Sonja. Viktor asks Lucian if he feels any remorse for his kind and Lucian replies with "they are mindless animals, no brethren of mine."
Lucian interferes as a slave master brutally beats a Lycan slave for transgressions. The racist slave master tells Lucian he will be there when Lucian falls. After the slaves leave, Lucian sneaks into a small tunnel to a cliff, where he meets with Sonja and they make love. Lucian asks Sonja if she would leave with him and she protests his leaving, but he is determined, and even shows her a key to his collar he made himself (the collar, due to its silver metal and deadly barbs, prevented him from transforming under Viktor's watch). He proceeds to leave and exits the tunnel, unaware that Tanis, Viktor's right-hand man, is observing him.
As human nobles come to meet with the vampire council for protection from the wild wolves in exchange for a tithe, Sonja goes out to guard them. Lucian hears the Lycans near Sonja and steals a horse and sword from a nearby Death Dealer. The Lycans attack and kill the noble and Lucian fights them. Raze is revealed to have been one of the noble's slaves. He begins to fight off Lycans and sees Lucian take off his collar and change into a Lycan. The wild Lycans back down to his howl and leave before he is shot down by Viktor's men. Sonja protests and claims he only changed to save her life. Viktor, feeling betrayed, locks Lucian away after whipping him 30 times with a three pronged chain-bladed whip.
Lucian becomes friends with Raze and speaks to Sonja about escape. He informs her that Tanis knows about their relationship and tells her to use him to get help out of the coven without her father's knowledge. Tanis agrees to assist them for Sonja's spot on the council, which would enable him to amass more political influence. He gives Lucian the key to his collar and the same night, Raze is turned into a Lycan. In the morning, Lucian escapes and kills the slave master and begins to free the other Lycans. The guards are alerted and the liberated Lycans begin to be slaughtered by the Death Dealers' large crossbolts. A majority of the Lycans are trapped and Lucian is forced to leave without them. He and Raze begin finding "conscripts" for his "army" and even travels to the lair of the wild Lycans in order to forge an alliance between the two "rival" factions of wolf.
Viktor asks Tanis for the key to Lucian's collar and almost kills him for his apparent betrayal, but Tanis leads Viktor to the armory, claiming he locked it in there. He reveals a regular key to Viktor, who believes it to be the real one. Viktor then confronts Sonja about her relationship with Lucian. He bites her and absorbs her memories, learning of her time with Lucian. Infuriated at her illegal relationship, he locks her in the room and waits for Lucian.
Lucian tells Raze to keep the men together while he goes to the coven to free Sonja. He frees her from her room but they get into a fight with Death Dealers along the way. He is then surrounded by Dealers and Sonja fights Viktor, who subsequently loses after at first evading her strikes. When Sonja tells her father that she is pregnant with Lucian's child, Viktor takes a knife to her throat and imprisons them again with newfound hatred. After being condemned for her crimes against the coven, Sonja is sentenced to death at a trial presided over by her father and the Council, with Lucian watching in chains. After she is burned alive by sunlight, Lucian escapes the chains and makes it to the stairs of the wall but is shot by Dealers. He is shot several more times and calls out to the Lycans before he weakly transforms back into his human form. All of the Lycans, of the first and second generations as well, amass and attack the coven, overwhelming it after a fierce battle.
Viktor orders Tanis to save the coffins of the Elders and goes out to fight the Lycans. The Vampire Elder is able to slay a great deal of them with ease, but Lucian confronts him, causing Viktor to flee into a tunnel that leads to the prison. They battle and the prison pit to the water opens, resulting in their downward descent. Lucian accidentally pulls one of the rocks out, revealing sunlight. Lucian then pulls enough out to have Viktor retreat to the side of the pit. Lucian comes down to him and Viktor tells him he should have killed him at birth. Lucian replies with "Yes, you should have, but you didn't", before stabbing Viktor in the mouth. Lucian tosses Viktor's body in the water, thinking that he has killed him, but Elders do not perish so easily.
Lucian comes out to Raze, who tells him it is done, but Lucian replies, "No, this is just the beginning", implying that the war will never end until all of the other Vampire Elders have been slain by the Lycans, as he blames their leadership for the hardships that led to the current state of events.
Viktor, now on a ship with Tanis, locks himself in his coffin to regenerate. The cycle of the Elders starts anew, whereby Amelia succeeds Viktor as the next reigning Elder.
The film ends with the opening scene of the first Underworld, with the audio from the scene where Kraven tells Selene that it was Viktor who murdered her family, rather than the Lycans. That Viktor spared her because she reminds him of Sonja, the daughter he condemned to death. The last word is played over the shot of her eyes: "Lies."

Memorable quote: "They all say we lose 21 grams at the exact moment of our death....everyone"
This morning, I was really trying to go to sleep, (yes, at the moment, I’m in vampire mode), and I needed something to do that would relax me, so I headed over to Hulu.com to see if I could find a movie to watch that I hadn’t seen before. I looked around a bit and ran across “21 Grams” starring Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, and Naomi Watts. I really liked what I read about it, so I decided to watch it. You guys have just got to see this one!
I’m a huge fan of movies with interweaving plot lines and “21 Grams” is by far one of the best I’ve ever seen! At first, it was a bit confusing, because, according to Wikipedia, “the movie was shot in chronological order, but is edited in a non-linear arrangement where the lives of the characters are depicted before and after the accident, “ so it all comes together at the end. These kinds of movies are intriguing to me. Almost like having to solve a crime, you get clues along the way as you try to figure out the story.

Plot
from Wikipedia
As previously mentioned, the film is edited in a non-linear manner. The following is a linear, chronological summary of the plot:
Jack Jordan (Benicio del Toro) is a former convict who is using his new-found religious faith to recover from drug addiction and alcoholism.
Paul Rivers (Sean Penn) is a mathematics professor with a fatal heart condition. Unless he receives a new heart from an organ donor, he will have less than one month to live. Paul's wife (Charlotte Gainsbourg) wants him to donate his sperm so she can have his baby, even if he dies. The two are civil to one another, yet distant.
Cristina Peck (Naomi Watts) is also a recovering drug addict, and now lives a normal suburban life with a supportive husband and two children. She is a loving mother and active swimmer who left her days of drugs and booze behind.
These three separate stories/characters become tied together one evening when Jack kills Cristina's husband and children in a hit-and-run accident. Her husband's heart is donated to Paul, who begins his recovery.
Cristina is devastated by the loss and returns to drugs (2CB and ketamine) and alcohol. Paul is eager to begin normal life again, but he hesitantly agrees to his wife's idea of surgery and artificial insemination as a last-ditch effort to get pregnant. During consultations with a doctor before the surgery, Paul learns that his wife had undergone an abortion after they had separated in the past. Angered, Paul ends the relationship. He becomes very inquisitive about whose heart he has. He learns from a source that the heart belonged to Cristina's husband, and begins to follow the widowed Cristina around town.
Jack is stricken with guilt following the accident. Despite his wife's protests to keep quiet and conceal his guilt, Jack tells her that his "duty is to God" and turns himself in. While incarcerated, he claims that God had betrayed him and, soon enough, loses his will to live. He tries unsuccessfully to commit suicide. He is released after Cristina declines to press charges, as she realizes that putting Jack in prison will not bring her family back. When Jack is released, he is unable to reincorporate himself into normal family life, and instead leaves home to live as a transient. He works a manual labor job and defaces his Christian tattoos with a knife.
Paul finds an opportunity to meet Cristina and eventually reveals how the two of them are connected. Desperately needing one another, they begin develop a relationship. Though Paul has a new heart, his body is rejecting the surgery, and his outlook is grim. As Cristina begins to dwell more on her changed life and the death of her girls, she continually focuses on a desire to exact revenge on Jack. She goads Paul into agreeing to murder him.
Paul meets with the person who originally found Cristina for him. Paul also purchases a gun from him and learns that Jack is living in a motel. Paul and Cristina check into the motel where Jack is also staying. When Jack is walking alone, Paul grabs him and leads him out into a clearing at gunpoint with the intention of killing him. Paul is unable to kill Jack, who himself is confused, shaking and pleading during the event. Paul tells Jack to "just disappear" then returns back to the motel, lying to Cristina about Jack's death. Later that night, while they are sleeping, Paul and Cristina are awakened by a noise outside their door. It's Jack, who, still consumed by guilt and inner torment, orders Paul to kill him and end his misery. There is a struggle, and Cristina blind-sides Jack and begins to beat him with a wooden lamp. Paul has a heart attack and shoots himself to avoid dying from asphyxia.
Jack and Cristina rush Paul to the hospital. Jack tells the police that he shot Paul, but he is released. The conflict between Cristina and Jack remains unresolved (they meet in the waiting room after Paul's death, but do not speak). Cristina learns in the hospital that she is pregnant. After Paul's death, Cristina is seen tentatively preparing for the new child and Jack is shown returning home to his family.
