We went to the movies last night, for real.

We go to the movies frequently, but very rarely to the Regal Cinemas, because we are running out of arms and legs.
However, we have friends with prohibitive schedules, and therefore we found ourselves coughing and hacking up ten dollars and fifty cents entry fee. And for Miyazaki's sake, ( Read more... )

   I finally saw Jesus Camp tonight. I had been stepping around it, in hope that we would never really bump into each other and I wouldn't have to ever have to take minutes to weigh words to dissect feelings to pick apart the internal organs of my childhood faith. So that's not to be the case, since as the roommates disappeared to the video store I ( Read more... )

Shaking my cold cold fingers at the screen, upset. I am not happy with things out of place, I am not entirely thrilled with the idea that objects kept under my watch could just disappear.

And so when the girl from across the street invites us to an underwear party with pudding wrestling, we decline. We even say no to the party in NW with 3 bands. And instead we go to see Snakes On A Plane with our flask and some friends, I mean, our friends and some flask, and it's a terrible good time. I mean, kept me occupied, no doubt, but still ( Read more... )

    More mention of work, I suppose, since it is a large consuming portion of my day, and I am amazed at how quickly it goes by. It is hot as dickens here today, but with not so much of that humidity that would bring a town to its knees. So people come in a wipe some sweat off their brow, and we all have ice cream and brownies in the breakroom, and ( Read more... )
