Hmmm…not even sure what I did on Tuesday. I know there was a Timberwolves game, and they lost. But did I do anything at all? I’m not even sure if I did anything on Wednesday either. Kind of sad how fragile a person’s memory is. Thursday I went to Tara’s, even though she seemed disappointed when I showed up. We just watched South Park. THEY TOOK MY JEEEERBBBB.
Friday I spent all day at Tara’s, watching Abenaboshi. It was alright, it started out pretty funny, but then it got all serious, and the ending was pretty bad. I mean, they spend a lot of time setting up a theme and then completely go against it at the end. Ah well. Then I watched Better Off Dead. $2.
Saturday I did something. Now I must think. I went to see the Day After Tomorrow. It was pretty over the top. I mean, they get attacked by wolves? Anyway, afterwards, I declared it my Passion of the Christ. Not that Day After Tomorrow was as good as Passion of the Christ, but because Passion of the Christ uses violence to guilt people into being more religious while this movie uses violence to scare people into being more environmentally conscience.
Sunday I went out to Minneapolis for Missy’s Bachelorette party. I also went out to eat at the Roasted Pear with my family, not bad food there. Anyway, we went out to Minneapolis to a two bars. I got pretty drunk, but I was never wild or crazy. I was driven back to Veronica’s where I fell asleep. Wake up the next morning to find that my keys are missing. That’s my car keys, apartment keys, and work key. Work keys, which I already one set just a few months ago. I just wanted to disappear when I realized what had happened. The bars both said they didn’t have it, none of my friends could find them, it was depressing.
Tuesday was awful. I didn’t want to go into work because that meant admitting to my boss that I lost my keys…AGAIN. But I did, and I was as humble as possible about it. I don’t think he was too happy. I went home and basically slept the rest of the night. I’m not even sure why I was so tired. Maybe it was depression. I mean, it sounds stupid to get so upset over some lost keys, but it’s what it represented. Me being me and always screwing things up. I’m so accident prone, it’s ridiculous. I watched the Escanflowne movie, though. It was vaguely reminiscent of the X. Not nearly as bad, though. It did have the difficulty of introducing a lot of characters without great character development. So in the end, you found yourself not caring all that much. It was seeing a character talk about how she just wants to fade away when that moment I was in bed hoping I could just disappear.
Today we got a lecture at work about we’re expected to work harder and longer when crunch time comes. It was an uncomfortable meeting. But after it all, two separate people came to me to assure me that it wasn’t really directed at me. So that was alright, I suppose.
Thought of the Day: You know, I’ve been looking for Sound Bytes from Family Guy. I went to this one website and found that their ‘Sounds’ page was taken down because they were warned by Fox about Copyright infringement. I got so pissed. I mean, the movie and music industries do have a point about downloading songs and movies for free. Whether or not you do it or agree with it doesn’t mean you can’t at least understand where these industries are coming from, but this is just stupid. I’m not downloading an entire Family Guy episode, just small sound bytes. And it’s not like Fox enables me to obtain these sound bytes through some pay method. They’re not going to release a CD of sound bytes, and if I buy the DVD I still don’t have the technology to get a sound byte. Some people buy CDs for a certain song, and by downloading it, the music industry is missing out on that income. But I don’t think anybody would go out and buy a DVD just to get sound bytes, and if they do, it’s probably so miniscule that it would be offset by the people who would hear sound bytes, remember how great the series is and then go out and buy it. But big industry is too closed minded to see the advantages free publicity, all they see is copyright infringement.
