Hey folks, just got home about 15 minutes ago, so I decided to post a quick blog entry before taking a nap and then going to work in a few hours. First, let me pontificate on a few things...
Love: It's amazing that after nearly seven years, my girlfriend Tara and I are still together and still in love, despite having a long distance relationship for the past five years or so. It's truly a great thing to love someone and have them love you back ten times over. I love you Tara!
Coincidence/Fate: Before leaving for Tara's yesterday, I read through Andrew "Badmovies.Org" Borntreger's latest review of "Leprechaun 3." Oddly enough, when I crept downstairs to check out Monsters HD, Leprechaun 3 was playing, precisely at the scene were a casino owner is killed by a big-titted robo-slut. Though I disliked the film after I rented it during its initial VHS release, I have to say that I really got a kick out of it last night.
Anyway, yesterday Tara and I went to see "Wild Hogs" (it was her choice after all) but I strangely enjoyed this completely predictable comedy. While critics bashed the film's skull in with a tire iron, I have to say that I had a good time watching it. (Nice touch having Peter Fonda show up at the end too. Yikes, that's TWO motorcycle-related films he's been in this year! The other is of course, "Ghost Rider.") Once we got back to her house, we watched "The Illusionist" before we decided to turn in for the night. "The Illusionist" is an excellent film and I highly recommend it. Though it is, at its core, a love story, the film is just plain wonderful, with an excellent cast, and one heck of a twist at the end. Now if I could only find the time to rent and watch "The Prestige...."
Today, before I returned home to my little basement sanctuary, I visited Wally-World (Wal-Mart to those of you that are scratching your heads) and spent a good chunk o' change that I literally, do not have. (C'mon check, don't go through until Thursday!) Now don't go thinking that I spent all of that on DVDs, because I didn't. In fact, I spent less than half of that on movies (and for the record, I bought: Rocky Balboa, Borat, Clue, The Explorers, and Night of the Comet). The rest was all stuff I needed, such as Oil, an oil filter, and Fuel Injector Cleaner for when I change my oil ... sometime this week. I also got some super expensive replacement razors for my Gillette Fusion razor (one of mankind's greatest inventions I must say!), deoderant, a new toothbrush, and a new pair of (twelve dollar) jeans for work.
If my check to Wally-World clears tomorrow, I'm sorta screwed, but in the past, any check I've written has usually gone through after two days. My hope is that the check clears Thursday, as my direct deposit will be in my account and I'll be on safe ground for another week. However, there's still a few bills to pay..... accursed BILLS!
Well I'm gonna go take that nap now, and hopefully, when I get home from work tonight, I'll be in a writing mood. (Instead of in a "Play Age of Empires II all night" mode.) Blog ya later!
