Holidays while in retail really wear me out.

Bleh.

Man, it has been almost 3 months from my last post. I feel like I should post something here. But I got nothing big, so here is a Local H music video from back in the day.



I really want to see them live again. The one concert of theirs I went to a couple years back was fun. Good times.

77 degrees feels so nice when all you had was about 90-98 with high humidity for weather for the past two weeks.

Meanwhile, I have been playing the demo of Bioshock a lot. Tuesday can't come fast enough.

Man, I am a dork....but in a good way.

Well, no Boston trip. Dag.

But I don't know how much time off I have from work, so it probably is a good thing I can't go.

I am sure I can try to figure out to do something for a break from work...well...maybe one that doesn't involve elves.

On a more exicitable note, Jaws is playing this Thursday at my local movie theater. I didn't see it in theaters because I didn't exist at that moment, so needless to say I am not missing the oppurtunity to see it on the big screen. I love Movie Madness night. Well, I missed out three shows, but two of them were movies I really didn't care to see (Gladiator and Pretty in Pink) and my great aunt's wake was the night of Dark Crystal (sadly one of the main ones I wanted to see). But Usual Suspects last week got me in the mood and now I can't wait for Jaws this week, Superman next week, and closes out with Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Though on some commentary, the did drop the bomb with two movies. Beverly Hills Cop was not shown off film but DVD. Maybe the film was fucked up or looked like it was going to be (they had that happen before with T2 and Ghostbusters in the previous years). The other was E.T. I forgot they did an anniversary edition with new scenes with a CG alien and badly edited walkie talkies where handguns were being held in. Disappointed the hell out of me. It was a good movie begin with, why fuck it up with that shit that doesn't look like it even fits in the damn thing.

Oh well, just some minor annoyances to a good year showing. I hope they show an Evil Dead movie next year. They were extremely crowded for Army of Darkness when they showed about 4 years ago, so I don't know why seem to ignore that message.

For some reason, I got an automated phone call that informed me that the city post office is hiring. How random.

On the recommendation from a girl at work, I picked up the movie Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. It twas a great movie to check out if haven't heard of it. Think A Mighty Wind meets Halloween.

I visit this place a lot, I swear. But I just don't seem to have the energy to respond or comment much these days. If it makes you feel better, I haven't even had a full blown WoW session in a while. Work has been killing me these days. Especially now that they are having days I come in at four o'clock...and I don't mean PM. Well, that is probably to keep from flirting with that really cute girl that works in the portait studio, but I digress.

Hell, I have so busy and exhausted lately, I still haven't bought either XP or Vista to play around with Bootcamp with this new laptop.

And I wish they would stop taking days off away from me. It would be nice to get a day to...you know...sleep. And to do some stuff that I really should have done in the last two weeks, but just haven't had the time to do. Christ, for someone they yell at and only pay nearly minium wage (in Illinois, anyways), they sure like to put a hell of a lot emphasis on how important I am. Probably even when I am half assing it, I am still the most reliable one of the dock crew.

Yet they pay them more than me. Iiiiiironieeeeeee!

At least I don't have much of a real outside social life due to lack of interesting friends in this town (they turn on Fridays at midnight....midnight I tell you!), otherwise that area would be suffering.

You think I would be commenting on all the awesome stuff that E3 would show you, but I haven't checked that shit out yet. I sure whatever is there is awesome, but I missed out on the coverage and all that fancy jazz.

On a brighter note, my friend Matt was talking about a trip to Boston to visit a friend of his. And he would be stopping in an area Conneticut as well...yes, I spelled it wrong. I don't care. He invited me along for the trip and I think I would have to take him up on it. Never been anywhere on the east coast (and believe me, I regret as there were times I wanted to go, but the lack of money really killed me) and this would be a great chance to see it.

I am now officially a Mac user. Picked up one of those snazzy new Macbook Pros that came out last Tuesday. Very nice I will say. Very nice.

I feel like I should update with something.




















I got nothing.

I am going to bite the bullet.

I am going to get a Mac.

I know, shocking. While it won't be for a while due to their price, this PC is really running on its last leg (I mean, the AGP slot burned out...I am running off a PCI video card...I didn't even know they still made those!!!).

I am pretty sure it will be an iMac, but should I stick to the 20 incher or go all pimped out with the 24 inch. 20 inch will save me $500-600 and doesn't rival my TV, but 24 incher has a much better video card.

Decisions decisions.
