My laptop's HDD crashed to the point of being irreparable, so it's been awhile. Sorry folks, I'm sure the five people who read me were saddened greatly. It's been awhile and a lot has happened, I doubt I can possible recap everything.
My Fourth of July was very fun and I hope everyone else's was as well. Lots of Super Monkey Ball and Guitar Hero. I also read a bit out of Ann Coulter's newest book, Godless. Good stuff. It inspired me to finally sit down with Malkin's book that I bought MONTHS ago and finish that. Man, liberals are crazy.
I saw the Pirates of the Carribean sequel Thursday night and was mighty unimpressed. Granted, it took me about five or six times to stop waffling on the first one and eventually settle with a conclusion. So maybe I'll have to do the same with this one, though I hope not because it's a long SOB. My major grips: 1.)overly convulted plot due to the fact that most of it was spent setting up the sequel, 2.)bad "in-joke" references to the first movie, which I expected, but loathed them still, 3.)long, dull periods of exposition (again, setting up the sequel). The movie has its merits, but not 150 minutes worth. One of the chick's sitting in front of me and Kyle was actually pretty cool and I may have tried to talk to her a bit after the movie if it hadn't been for the fact that she was seventeen. I've been down that road before and no good can come from it. Still, it's always an ego boost to have teenage girls hanging onto your every word and laughing at your antics. I don't know about you Kyle, but I ate it up.
It looks like I'll have work every day for the rest of this week, so even though I'll be exhausted, it should prove worth it.
I think I may stop pursuing that person I was interested in. My reasons are many, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that my schedule is hectic, I never have spare money, and then there's the fact that I felt like I was getting blown off. Maybe I wasn't, but it's not worth investing any time or emotion into. Maybe I'll try again someday, but I'm not feeling like changing plans to open up free time or make myself more available for one person while leaving myself unavailable to others. Especially if it ends up in me getting blown off. *shrug* Maybe I just have bad timing.
I think I got screwed out of seeing Reel Big Fish for the second year in a row. The week I've got money to buy a ticket with is the week that my HDD fries. When I finally get back to the internet, I can't find any available non-VIP tickets. $52 for a concert? No thank you. I still need to renew my tags.
Hung out with Kyle, Tom, and Andrew last weekend. Those were good times, even if things didn't turn out like I'd wanted. I got my fill of MvC2, and then some. I really wanted to get some Gladius in. Hell, I'd settled for Wrath Unleashed.
I've been reading a lot since I had a lot of free time last week, but I'm back in class and it seems like work is picking up, so no more free time.
Girls are dumb.
