I have not written anything on this blog since July. It's not that I did not want to, it's that I have not had time. See, in July, I got a letter of acceptance from the University of Kansas (Go Jayhawks!) to join their Molecular Biology PhD. program. I will hopefully have my PhD in 5 or 6 years.... and I could not turn down the opportunity. However, this 180 degree turn in my life has also meant quitting my job (best decision ever, and best feeling ever when I told my boss that I was quitting because I was getting my PhD.), moving to Kansas City, and starting school. Unlike a job, where you work 9am to 5pm and then leave your work in the office, I cannot do that anymore. Unlike in undergrad, school is no longer only attending classes. I wake up at 5am, go to class, I teach three undergrad lab sections, and I work in a lab doing my research. The little free time I have in between those I have to attend meetings and departmental seminars. I get home at 6 or 7pm, and I have to study. I have not been able to update this blog because I do not have a life outside school anymore.... and I love it. Going back to school was the best decision I could have ever made. I am being challenged intellectually every single day, and I missed that at work.
So I am going to change the direction of this blog. Even though I don't manage a network anymore, I still toy around with my computers, but just for fun, not professionally anymore. So trust me, I will still talk tech, I like computers way too much. What I mean is that I am going to start talking more about science, about critical thinking (the title of the blog IS ThinkThick, isn't it?), about common sense, that seems to be less common lately. I cannot promise that I will write every week, like I used to, I can't but at least I will try to be more consistent than I have been for the last 5 months....

A Quiet Place starts with racking up the tension which doesn't let up in a nerve shredding 1hr 25. The premise is simple, we get no back story as to why the family have to stay silent, but within 5 minutes with an unexpected moment we can see what the consequence of making noise is. From then on our focus is on this one family as they strive to stay safe in what seems like a helpless situation. 365movies
I enjoyed this film immensely. I found it to be nerve shredding and so tense to watch i had to try catch my breath a few occasions as i had been holding it so long. It is the silence for a majority of the film that makes this work and i was grateful for a silent cinema hall (this i will go back to) I found myself caring for the characters (rare in horror) and hoping for a positive outcome. 123movies
It also doesn't suffer from an overlong run time and imo is not for the mostpart predictable.Those who like a decent movie monster i feel will be pleasantly surprised i believe as well. Those who are looking for gory in your face horror may struggle to engage and i think coming back to my point earlier if you end up in a hall full of restless noisy people filling the silence the tension will somewhat be lost. watch Avengers Infinity War online free hd
This movie was a nice change to the usual horror/thrillers which are all the same. It had me on edge the entire film. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend. Best horror/thriller I've seen in such a long time. watch rampage full movie online free
