Today has been quite the lazy day.
I woke up and watched "Smart People". I bought this movie on sunday, when I went to dimple records with Alicia from my Bible study (the one I attend, not one of the ones I lead). This, of course, was one of the random movie purchases that I like to make, even though I haven't seen the movie. I haven't had too many disappointments with those however, and this one was not an exception to the rule. It was a pretty good movie. I was surprised a bit, because even though I had heard a few good things about it, I was a bit afraid of such an indie sounding movie. Turns out, I love ellen page outside of Juno as well! Thomas Hayden Church is actually quite an interesting actor.
So, for lunch I went to a chinese restaurant with the housies. It was a pretty good place to eat it turns out. Ollie, Alf, and I had general chicken, which was quite good. We rode our bikes there, and I wouldn't be able to tell anyone how I got there, cause there were so many turns and switches of streeets. It was good times to be able to bike ride with Ollie and Tim though...
Interesting story about this trip to the Chinese food restaurant. We are locking up our bikes and moving towards the door, and we're approached by this homeless woman who was standing outside of the door. She asks us if we have any cash, and after searching our wallets and pockets, we realize that we don't have any cash on us. She proceeds to ask us if we could buy her a box of some pork chow mein. We tell her that we might be able to do that once we've gotten our lunch. So we eat, and as I said before; things were quite good. When the waitress brought the bill, I asked her for an order of pork chow mein. We make our way out to the door, and I find our homeless friend has somehow procured a box of chow mein, however I decide that I should give her the chow mein that I purchased anyway. Apparently, this was a bad idea. She copped an attitude when I offered her the chow mein that I bought. Apparently, she had her fill of chow mein, and even when Ollie offered her the idea of taking it for later, she got adamant in denying the food. Her attitude was really shocking, considering that I didn't have to buy her that food. However, it served as dinner for me later on. I just thought it was crazy how she asked us to get that for her specifically, as opposed to me buying her something random of the menu.
God rewards those who try to do for the least of us. (that's what I tell myself to feel better about such things.)
Anyways, later on I capitalized on my great idea for our mechanical garage door opener. I set the codes and I mounted it on the outside of our house. We now don't have to worry about how we can open the door from the outside, so we can use it as the main entrance of the house, and....! We don't each have to get a silly clicker. We all have the code and with one piece of equipment, we can get into the house.
I'm very proud...
I am now off to peruse the internet and listen to my favorite talk radio show. Dr. Laura Schlessinger. She really keeps it real!
I'm out...
