I usually like stupid movies. Kung Pow, Super Troopers, the Naked Gun series, etc. Great movies. Tons of laughs.
But what the FUCK is up with everyone being so gung-ho about Napolean Dynamite. Yes, I finally watched it. This is the lamest, most unfunny movie I have ever seen. No, I wasn't in a bad mood. No, I didn't start watching it with the expectation of it being a horrible movie. In fact, it was quite the opposite; everyone raving about how funny it is. I'd like some of whatever you all were smoking, if a guy who laughs a lot laughed 3, maybe 4, times during the whole movie, while everyone claims this to be such a funny movie. I enjoyed Groundhog's Day more, and that's a horrible bore of a movie. I'd rather watch the Neverending Story or the Labyrinth, movies that I hated and was forced to watch numerous times at Boys and Girls Club in my youth. The supposed "plot" doesn't even begin until, what, halfway into the movie? Nor does it build much onto it, or have much of a climax or resolution. Of course, I'm sure the story wasn't written to be the greatest and win awards, but there's absolutely nothing to make up for it.
The only redeeming factor of the movie was the three girls. That's the only thing that kept me awake; maybe a scene that had either the two hotties Summer and Trisha or the shy girl Deb who was kind of cute, instead of seeing the wiry and curly haired gangly oaf. And if there's anything more annoying than a stoner, it's a straight edge kid who looks and talks like one.
Well, I've been in a good mood this whole week, so I got to display at least some traces of my anger. And that ends my rant.
Tomorrow I either get my truck back or Greulich's gets bitched out. I was supposed to have it back on Friday, along with a telephone call. Even Friday was insane for a small dent in the truck. If it had been Friday, that still would have been 12 days in the shop. I don't like it when people bitch about this or that at work ("keep that loaf bread in another bag and not with my eggs, I don't want my eggs smashed"), and I wonder why they just can't be calm about something trivial. And while I may doing something that I make fun of people for, there's just some things that you can't pussy foot around and let slide.
Our manager set up a TV with the Super Bowl on, but the antennas were getting a really poor reception. This guy came through my line, asked what the score was. I could barely make out the score at the top of the screen, so I told him what I thought I saw "Eagles 24 Patriots 14". At that point, I didn't know that I had the teams mixed up. He goes on to say, "sweet man, I got $300 bucks riding on the Eagles." He got an unpleasant surprise. I hope he comes through my line tomorrow, I may just ask him if he wants any cashback, say...$300? I pranked customer service on my lunch because I was bored, it was a good laugh...Mike called the GM manager to see if we actually did carry any ice heaters. Poor guy.
I played quarters with some guy today. I think it's called that, but I seem to recall another game that goes by that name. Anyway, our game consisted of one person putting their fist down on a table. The other person flicked a quarter at the knuckles as hard as they could. Then the roles were switched. First we played with pennies cuz that's all I had. I complained that the game seemed a lot funner when I was younger because it actually hurt. Then Kory busted out a quarter and that did infact hurt. Then another checker brought over a half dollar coin. MOTHERFUCKER. I demand another game, and I'll bring a ninja star.
