Movies

SAW

by

Today I spent time moving files to my new desktop. That is still going on. it will be a while before that machine is fully configured. Tonight I meet up with Cari and went to Outback for dinner. I tried their fried shrimp entr?(c)e. It was good.

We then hit the heartland brewery to wait for Gretchen and Jayson so we could all goto a movie. We were originally going to see the Incredibles. Unfortunately we are all retarded and didn’t buy tickets ahead of time. All the shows were sold out. In my defense I did say we should order them online before hand but got mocked by Cari for it. We ended up a different theater to see Saw. That movie was just disturbing. it was a great plot. Some of the acting was terrible though. Some crazy stuff in that movie. I won’t ruin it for anyone but it was just disturbing, but a cool kind of disturbing. Kind of like From Hell. it was crazy, graphic, and yet you sat there and took it all in!

Plan for later this week is to try and see the Incredibles.

Going To The Movies

by

A bunch of us from work are getting together later to see the new movie from the guys who made South Park. I honestly don’t remember the name. I just remember everyone says it is very vulgar and not politically correct. That makes me want to see it. I am lazying around my apartment until we are meeting up.

I woke up with a head ache today so I took a furiset. I am feeling better now but I will need to take another one near the start of the movie if the drugs wear off and I still have a head ache. These are the type of days where I DO get migraines. It is cool outside, but not cold. It is stifling in the apartment, and I am inside right now. This is the exact change of weather situation that gets me sick. I hate it. It is my demon I need to keep in check. I don’t want to have to cancel so I am medicating early. When I am home on a weekend I tend not to take any drugs. It usually leads to bad consequences, but I take the medications enough during the week that keeps me working and a normal functioning person in society. That is why on weekends (my time) I try not to medicate if needed. Unfortunately I end up canceling on plans allot since I refuse to medicate sometimes. My dad says I am crazy, but I get scared sometimes about getting a “habit” to some of these medications. Some of the stuff I take is pure pain medication. I could see how easy it is to get used to taking them.

Welcome to world! Just spoke to Cari, and Jayson. They are both in for the movies. Danny is even coming in from Staten Island. I am off to Jays in a little bit to hang out before the movie…

Softball And Movies

by

My first night out on the town in the city was a nice and low key. I met people from work to watch the company softball game. It was a slaughter. We got killed. I didn’t see the end of the game though. AJ hurt his foot in outfield so I helped him off the field with many other peoples help. I can’t lift people like some of the other big guys at work can. I stayed with him until we determined the injury was bad enough to warrant an ER visit. By then Gus showed up and he road with him to the ER. I wasn’t big enough to go alone with AJ to the ER. I couldn’t help him in and out of the cab as well as Gus could.

After the game we meet up at a bar and drank for a while. Then we went to see Anchorman. It was a funny movie.

Took the subway home and it took me less than 15 minutes to get home. it was awesome…

Shrek 2

by

Went to see Shrek 2 with Jayson and Dave today. It was really funny. It is nice to see a sequel that is as good or better than the original. I ran into Mitch & Michele at the movies. They are old friends of my parents. They had their daughter rachel with them also. I feel so old that she is out of college now!

We went to the deli by my house for dinner. Dave lived near my place for almost all his life and has never eaten at that deli. I don’t know if he is weird or what.

Almost Famous

by

I am not almost famous. Not even close. I am talking about the movie. Saturday was low key. I got up early. Probably from the drinking friday night, so I decided to go get a hair cut.

I met my dad for breakfast after that, and we went to his jeweler. I got back my new (new to me) watch. He was able to find someone who took off 2 links on the band to make it fit on my wrist. I was very happy. I wore it all day Saturday. It was allot heavier than I am used to in a watch. It will take some getting used to.

Alison went to an afternoon movie and dinner with one of her friends so we met late to hang out. She wanted to watch a tape (or DVD). Since I don’t have any old VHS tapes, I decided to bring my Thinkpad over to her place. I hoped to plug it into the S-Video connector on her TV so we could watch a DVD. She does not have a DVD player. Turns out her TV is so old it didn’t have an S-Video connection. We ended up watching the movie Almost Famous on her coffee table. She never saw it. It was a great movie.

They are correct in saying opposites attract. Only I (a big tech guy) would go out with someone who has no DVD player and a TV from 1985. At least it is a big screen from 1985.

I had a good night even though Alison and her friend went to the Outback without me:(

Night A The Movies

by

Went to see 50 first dates last night with Alison. It was a really funny movie. I recommend it to all comedy movie fans. We did the low key dinner and a movie.

I did some work around the house all day Saturday. Organized some computer stuff that I have been meaning to do. Generally boring stuff during the day.

I need to clean my apartment up a bit. It is getting cluttered…

Movie Saturday

by

I went to see Runaway Jury Saturday. It was really good. John Cusack is always good, and I didn’t realize that Dustin Hoffman and Gean Hackman were in it also. Very nicely done, and the best thing is that I didn’t guess the ending after 5 minutes.

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, (And Sunday)

by

I went out and saw mystic river with some friends last night. It was an “ok” movie. it wasn’t great, but the plot was good and the active was very good. we went to the outback for dinner, but after learning there was an hour and a half wait or more we took it to go (20 minutes) and went back to my friend Rich’s parents house. They were gone for the weekend and that was the closest place to the movies.

I didn’t get home till late this morning. That fact pisses me off since some dumb-ass called me at 9:45AM. Now I cannot sleep so I am up writing.

Not sure what is on the agenda for today. I wanted to goto the mall for a bit, but now I am not sure what I want to do. I will play it by ear.
