"I feel so old..."
I bought my iPod today. It was ten dollars cheaper than the first time I attempted to get it. I'm excited to use it, but I haven't had any time. I've mostly just spent time putting songs onto it and seeing how the thing works. I'll use it eventually.
I think I need to buy a skin for it, though, so that it doesn't scratch. I almost don't want to take it anywhere yet because of that. Heh.
I went to see The Grudge 2 with Chris and Paul today. He was worried because he figured we'd be late, and I kept on thinking that it wouldn't matter anyway. After all, it's only been out for a week and the first one wasn't so well appreciated. We got there, got our tickets, and when we got in there, it wasn't even a stadium seating theatre. It was normal, old style (this was at Bayer's Lake). Heh. You can see how popular the movie is already.
By the way, before I get into talking about the movie or the audience, I have an issue. How young do I look? I mean, I know it's a big people to look young and whatnot and it should really be taken as a compliment when you are, but I got my ticket and was surprised that it was cheaper than ten dollars. I looked at it, and it said "youth." What the hell? How young do I look? Both Chris and Paul (who admittedly DO look like adults) got adult tickets. I should be happy because I didn't have to pay more, but dammit! The same thing happened at Electronics Boutique a month ago. Some loser 40-year-old with braces asked me for ID when I was buying a mature rated game. Do I look sixteen? If I didn't want what I bought so badly, I would have left right then and there.
Anyway, back to the movie.
There were three young girls (probably just at the beginning of the youth ticket range) sitting in front of us and I don't know how many people sitting behind us. But wow, what a vocal audience. Heh. It wasn't full -- far from it, actually. But they were, uh, excited. I suppose I'll LJ-cut this since it'll contain spoilers.
Sarah Michelle Gellar dies, first of all. Heh. Her sister and some Japanese/Chinese journalist are outside a hospital and Sarah Michelle Gellar just smacks on the ground after having fallen from the top of the hospital. Everyone just started laughing! What the hell? I mean, it wasn't gross, but it wasn't funny either.
These girls in front of us were insane. They were screaming at everything, and I mean it. And they were talking during the entire thing being all like, "No! Don't go in there! YOU IDIOT! LEEEEAVE! Don't be stupid! LEEEEEAVE!"
They were so annoying, and people were like throwing things around in a theatre or whatever.
All in all, it was actually a pretty good movie. I was satisfied. It was better than the first one, and actually made me jump from time to time. Gets pretty confusing near the end, but it was good all the same.
So there have been like a million drunk people on my floor all night partying. It's been pretty annoying. I'm sure people were smoking weed, too. The alarm went off twice and I could smell it.
I am also extremely tired of Chinese tourist customers at the Superstore. Makes me glad I'm almost done. They're hard to understand (not their fault, of course, but it's frustrating nevertheless), pay with US currency, and then want US currency back. I had so many today. And the last one I had was nearly impossible to understand. It was frustrating -- very frustrating.
Ugh. I'm tired.
Some girl just spent the last ten minutes pounding on our door. Stupid drunks...
