(no subject)
So I just got done watching and chatting about 5 hours of the NFL entry draft. It's like sports, but much much less exciting. At least I have the NFLFans community here on LJ--it really makes anything involving the NFL much more fun to partake in.

That was the Draft discussion. It's funny that I post that, knowing no one is going to open it. Heh. It was still as much fun as the draft could be. Even though Seattle....*shakes head*. I don't quite understand. trade down, trade up. Trade away from a tight end, trade to go get a tight end. Take a friggin' defensive end. I don't...I don't understand it.
Past that...I'm getting laundry done. My dad rented a handful of movies (real charmers, too. The Aliens/Predators sequel, One Missed Call, and something with King in the title starring Jason Statham. Also, some horror movie about an evil dummy comes on HBO in an hour that he wants to watch).
Why does my dad enjoy bad horror movies so much? Sigh. :)
I've mentioned to a few people how wary I am: I've always loved the Harry Potter movies. Thought they were great. And after years of appreciating them and talking about the series of books with friends to learn more, I started reading all the books. So I got the books finished, and I think Half-Blood Prince is by far my favorite book. Why does that make me wary? Because it's the next movie coming out (this November), so--for the first time in my HP movie viewing history--I'm going to enter a movie with "expectations". I'm going to become one of those whint fanboys that hates the "bastardized" translation. OH GNOES.
Seriously...as long as they include all the beautiful Snape/Potter dialogue from the book ("You don't have to call me sir, Professor"......"I know what a nickname is, Potter"), guess I should be okay. But still....EXPECTATIONS. From the book that ended up being my favorite. TERROR.
I'm thinking of starting the Eragon series next. Maybe.
I really--and I say this a lot and don't do it--need to work on disciplining myself better to get more writing done. Okay, today was the draft and I was BSing with LJ buddies about it, and tomorrow I'll be watching bad movies with my dad all day, but still...it's more wasted time when I should be writing. It's really depressing, because I KNOW that all I need to do is START and I'll be good. Once I START, I'll want to all the time.
I seem to have a hard time getting stuff done on weekdays. I work and I'm tired and I try to spend time with my dad. But I really want to get more things down. It seems like people have more free time than I do. Everyone else I talk to seems to be able to squeeze more activities into less time.
I need to read a book on time management. Or just manage my time. READING A BOOK WOULD TAKE MORE TIME. It's a catch-22!
God damn Best Buy...their website lost its security certification, so my computer will no longer allow me to pay my credit card bill online. I'm going to have to GO IN to the store tomorrow and see what's up. Such a waste of time and gas.
This entry has a bajillion tags. Wow.
