Apparently, my brother screwed up his knee yesterday in football practice. Just a strain of the (MCL?), the docs think, but he's out for the week. This after both my sisters each tore an ACL this year.
What the hell?
My mom suggested I just buy a couple knee braces and wear them all the time, as a precautionary measure. I think she was only half joking.
Seriously, though, how does that happen? Three family members, all knee injuries. I didn't think bad knees was a genetic thing? Maybe I was wrong... Or maybe my family just has shitty luck.

RANDOM THOUGHT TIME! (theme music plays)
In other news, I've begun eating healthier, at least until today when I saw 99 cent boxes of Crunch 'n Munch (read: Crackerjacks) at the market today. 99 cent family size boxes. Awesome. I've maintained a modicum of control, mostly by putting the damn box out of sight.
We're starting an IP law organization at school, mostly because there's a large void in that area. I think I'm going to try for a leadership position there. I've already started to figure out what needs to be done to run the group, and which officer would handle what task. Also going to my IP professor to try to get him as a faculty sponser for the group. We're going to work closely with the entrepenurial group in the school, I think, as they have some IP stuff in there too. My friend Adam is an officer in that group, and I think that if we really got together and organized, next year we could have a fairly big IP seminar day, maybe big enough to invite the other 3 law schools in Oregon to participate. It would be a big thing for the program, and do a lot to attract IP professors to our school, something we're lacking. We had a few really great ones, but they all left the year before I came to school. This year, tho, we just need to get established and recruit some 1Ls into the program.
The Transformers II movie is going to have ""key scenes" (read: MEGA ACTION ROBOT PWNING EXPLOSIVENESS) shot in IMAX. This means that in an IMAX theater, most of the movie will be in letterbox (like Dark Knight was) and then it will shift to use the full IMAX screen.
Now, don't get me wrong. Robots that are five stories tall are fucking cool, but I think it would be distracting as hell for my movie to keep shifting screen size. I cannot imagine a way to smothly do this. It's going to be silly. Normal movie.... Normal movie... Norma-GIANT FUCKING ROBOTS!!!!!!1111oneoenoneunounouno Just seems silly to me.

You should really tout the whole "leader of IP awesomness at U of O" on your resume even before its completed. That would make you really pop.
Your family has some crappy luck with knees.
I'd make a joke about knees being stressed and over used but it is your little bro... :)
Nick, you walking around with knee braces on just in case might ruin your image :P
Also, I saw Dark Knight in IMAX and there was no screen size popping, and I doubt there will be in Transformers II for the exact reason you stated. Movies are supposed to absorb the watcher, and flip-flopping screens would absolutely ruin that immersion.
That's just it... the plan is to HAVE the screen size popping. They said it outright. Most of it will be in letterbox, but action sequences won't be.
well, that's just dumb.
