Owning a car would be nice right now. I still have 9 boxes of comics, all of my Magic cards, and most of my DVDs at my old apartment. I have no idea how I am going to transport them to my new apartment. I have five days to figure it out. Does anyone wanna help? Does anyone even own a livejournal anymore?
I miss going out to the movies. I used to be so goddamn good at keeping up at new movies and watching all the bullshit that keeps coming out year after year. Not to mention the fact that now I live in an awesome city that shows all my favorite old movies on what seems like a daily basis. I really need to get back into the swing of things. After watching Evil Dead II at Midnight Mass last night I feel like I'm really missing out on some awesome things.
I miss music videos on MTV. It was so fucking cool to be able to just turn on the TV and watch a million videos. Nowadays I had to create my own Youtube playlists with all my favorite videos. It took me like three full days of doing this though, and I'm still only at like 350 videos. And I can only watch them on my computer. And they don't even have all of my favorites! LAME. Bring back the glory days of 90s MTV plz. Thnx.
I miss spending money on comics. Oh, and reading them. I just did both for the first time in like a year the other day. Bought the new DC Event comic, Blackest Night.
Pretty sweet so far. Basically the plot is that a bunch of dead heroes from the DC Universe all get Black Lantern rings handed out by a villain named Black Hand, which turns them into fucking zombies that have to rip the hearts out of people to live. Fuckin' sweet premise. Geoff Johns' writing is kinda corny sometimes, but Ivan Reis' art compensates for it. No one cares about this, lol.
My new comic book obsession, however, is motherfuckin' SCOTT PILGRIM.
Seriously, best comic I've read in so fucking long. The premise is the lead character, Scott Pilgrim, is 23 years old and between jobs and wasting his life. He's pseudo-dating a chinese high school girl named Knives Chau, and he's in a really shitty garage rock band called Sex Bob-omb, where he plays bass. Then he meets this super hipster girl named Ramona Flowers (who is a rollerblading delivery girl for Amazon.com, lol) and falls for her hella hard. And she digs him back, but in order to date her he has to fight her SEVEN EVIL EX-BOYFRIENDS. The dialog in the book is fucking hilarious and dead-on and as damn close to perfect as you're gonna find in a comic book. Seriously though, the first volume is $12 and worth every penny. BUY THIS!
Whoa, I forgot the topic of this entry was supposed to be "Things I Currently Miss". Got a little carried away there.
I miss a ton of people recently. All you broads. Maren. Tahnee. Leslie. Kayla. I pretty much always miss Kayla. Get yr ass back here Kayla. I know it's been a week but I don't really give a shit. Let's eat tons of food and watch X-Files and walk around Golden Gate Park and stare at bison.
I miss being able to afford my own weed and having my own connection, instead of buying bowl at a time off of Dustin. Furthermore, I miss drinking beer other than PBR and MGD and cheap shit. When I first turned 21, I remember me and Maren trying to be beer snobs and buying a new kind of beer every other night. Goddamn we were awesome drunks. Now I just go cheapest mostest all the time.
I miss that time that me and Glenn Danzig were detectives for the SFPD. I was the young hotheaded up-and-comer and he was the grizzled, season veteran who's getting too old for this shit. Together we fought corruption starting at the street level and working it's way up to Diane Feinstein. Oh fuck, that's right, that hasn't happened.
YET.
I'm out.
