Night At The Movies

2 Comments

Friday night at about 9PM I went with moO, my sister and Ronny to the drive-in. Holy crap, the drive-in? How long ago have you last been to the drive-in? The last time I went to the drive in was when I was like six years old. We took separate cars ’cause we didn’t want to sit in the back since it’d be hard to see. Good thing too because we wanted to see different movies and was able to .

So, we started out the night with Minority Report. PG-13 2 hr. 24 min. Wow, that was actually worth the money! Go see it! Spoiler? Click & Drag Heh, this will show up on iCHAOSi.com but not on GotAdam.com…. What bothered me was the fact that the title was Minority Report and when it came down to it, the Minority Report either didn’t exist, or wasn’t really even important to the story. I suppose it was important, just not used… Overall a really kick @$$ movie!

Second, we saw Scorpion King PG-13 1 hr. 29 min. Great action, ok story, GREAT actors… Ok, not the acting itself, as the dialogue came up a little short (it was an action movie, for goodness sakes). I’m sure the story itself is made up with the action… AND the actors. Primarily Kelly Hu… I guess the Rock too. Probably not winning any academy awards with this one, but hey, thumbs up!

We drove over to see Bourne Identity PG-13 1 hr. 58 min. I felt I was let down tremendously with this one. I mean it was a good idea, but the actual movie itself fell short of a good movie. I really believed it was gonna be a good one, but after we left it, I felt that it was too repetitive. He ran, they’d find where he was, he ran to find a new place to hide, they find him, and so on. I felt that the writers couldn’t really get a good end to the whole redundancy and it kept going on and on. However, the end was a good one. See it if you have spare time.

Ok, as you might have guessed. We did some theatre hopping. Seeing 3 movies in one sitting is really taxing on a body. At the end of the night it was about 4 am. That’s about 7 hours of sitting. I had a HUGE headache while driving home. It felt like a bad hangover. Overall, Minority Report – A, Scorpion King – B+, Bourne Identity – C+

Depressing

Ok, so, I don’t ever write anymore, and there’s probably a good reason. I don’t know if it’s enough that I don’t do anything that would merit an entry. In any case that would be my reason. Blah, it’s so depressing not doing anything day after day, week after week. Now I don’t even have a working car. Well, maybe I’ll get it back tomorrow. I needed to get a new tire and an alignment. But, I have a feeling they f’cked up my lug nuts and stripped them. They want to charge me and extra $75 to cut off the bolt. WTF? You stripped it, YOU pay for taking it off and replacing it. Not to mention I shouldn’t be doing any of this in the first place since I have no job, nor a source of income. I think I need an alignment, however, as it will only make things worse if I need to get all 4 tires replaced.

Lately, I just stare at my laptop monitor searching for jobs and watching cable TV with moO, since she, too, is a loser like me without a job. Lately, all I do is watch Power Puff Girls, Star Trek (only when moO isn’t around, since she doesn’t like geeky stuff), or Who’s Line Is It Anyway. Incidentally, I’m watching TV right now. Surprise, surprise. Watching that new series, the Dead Zone. Pretty cool I guess. I manage to run on my treadmill every so often, but that’s about it. No hockey yet. Hopefully I’ll get in the summer league.

I’ve found a lot of jobs online. About 31 jobs in the past month and a half, I suppose that’s good… Well, perhaps not, considering I don’t get an answer from anyone.

I’m hoping some good will come to my life soon… Preferably, I win the lottery or something… Then again, I gotta play the lottery in order to win, so I guess that’s out. I guess I have to settle for getting a job. I have to wait until September to open a new unemployment claim. But, I’m sick of relying on unemployment. I want a real job. SOMEONE GIVE ME A JOB!

Blah, whatever. I HAVE been reading a lot, though… Unfortunetly, it’s been a lot of car stuff. Ok, so I read a little and played a little with HTML, XML, PHP, ASP, Photoshop. But, mostly about cars. Everything from naturally aspiration to NOS, turbo, etc. I suppose I should go back to reading on my forte…

Ok, enough bitching, I gotta go do something productive… Like play Playstation. I still haven’t even opened FFX yet. I played a little FF9 and Parasite Eve recently. Thus wraps up my life.
