Twas a pretty interesting weekend. Saw Scooby Doo saturday night with Krug, Chris, Tara, Jegger and his gf Allison. It was quite the comedy of errors. Chris stopped by our place, and we all went to pick up tickets at Parkway Point. On the way to Tara and mac_finn's place, some other driver started gesturing toward us. At first I thought it was a threat, so I was all what the hell he's staring at and how I was gonna stab him in the face with a sautering iron. But we rolled down the windows and he said we had a flat. It wasn't totally flat yet, but we were hoping to find a flat area to change it. Unfortunately, Tara's complex is all hilly. Anyways, we pick her up, and since her place wasn't too far from Chevy's, we changed the tire in the Chevy's parking lot before going to eat.

Our waiter was new, so service was a little crazy. Chris, Krug, and Tara partook of the margaritas, but I, trying to quit, did not. Jason came late as usual. After dinner, we headed to the theater. Jason somehow ended up getting lost so he came in 10 minutes late into the movie. It was suprisingly a pretty enjoyable movie. Of course, I wasn't expecting much. I was shocked to hear Chris say he enjoyed it, since this isn't his kind of movie (he went out of boredom). Of course, he's also a SMG fan, and he stated "Dude, SMG is hot" more than once during the movie. But anyhoo, it was funny. Matthew Lillard does a perfect Shaggy. And Velma's stacked!

Sunday, went to the 10am mass. Picked up lunch at Wendy's afterwards. Strangely, that scary Russian (or Eastern European) guy who came into work earlier this week was in front of me in line. So I was stuck there for five minutes as he asked "How much is classic double with tomato? Just sandwich!" in his booming voice. First, the cashier kept on saying, "Oh, a classic single? 1.99." Then the manager gets involved and he's all, you can see it on the menu. It was driving me nuts because I just wanted them to tell him since he was having trouble finding it on the menu and I was ready to shout "Its $2.99, dammit! He can't see it on the menu, that's why he's asking!" And his son was telling him it was $2.99, but he kept on asking how much it was with potato, which his son corrected as tomato. Because apparently I hear they charge extra for that thing in Europe! Talk about highway robbery! Pay extra for a damn slice of tomato? That's totally ridiculous! Anyways, apparently $2.99 is too much, as he and his son left without purchasing anything. So I got a quarter pound double stack with cheese and medium fries (thank goodness for Wendy's $.99 menu! Cheap eating!) and headed back. After finishing lunch, headed to the mall to buy some new pants for this shindig next Saturday for my gammy's 90th b-day. You know, the one isabel79's been babbling about.

Actually hit Oxford before the mall. I took collier to peachtree and I decided, screw it, I'll see if E. Wesley really does cut into Piedmont right before Oggsford. And it does. Picked up a comic, hit Lenox. I checked American Eagle but they didn't have anything I was looking for. So I went to Macy's and got pants as well as two Tommy shirts on sale for $12 each! Wotta deal!

Went home and Krug and I headed up to Mansell to see Windtalkers with Chris. It was a pretty cool movie. But I had been so used to seeing these "realistic" war movies, it was disconcerting to see the characters using that fancy John Woo gunplay. And those Jap dudes running around with katanas? That's some freaky stuff! But seriously, Nick Cage was the reaper. Its like this one point, he and his injun sneak into the Jap camp to steal a radio. Nick's pretending to be Yahzee's prisoner since he does kinda look like a Jap. So they do the "kick the american around and then he begs for mercy but he's really pulling out the pistol he secretly tucked in the back of Yahzee's belt" thing. So Nick pulls out the pistol and kills three Japs real quick. So he and the injun charge the camp from behind and the injun takes out one guy, and Nick takes out the other 50! He was the reaper in this flick! Its like a dozen guys charge him and he mows them all down with his Tommy gun, or he fires 5 shots from his 1911 right quick and 5 guys drop. So it was more like a John Woo flick that took place during WWII.

Ate at Hops for dinner, then went grocery shopping. Finished the night watching the 2002 MuchMusic Video awards. That Kristin Kreuk chick is totally cute. But apparently the Canadians don't have Smallville yet! And what's up with that dude from Nickelback? There were a few categories where not only was Nickelback nominated twice, he was nominated for that song he did off the Spiderman soundtrack. So its like he has three out of the four or five nominations! That's crazy!

Guardian

My sphere is Guardian (Person of great Love and Altruism), and my class is Arms Master (Pragmatic and Stout). I am a Guard. You are a true, versatile guard. You have a defensive nature, that is, you are good at instilling a sense of security in the places around you. A strong presence weakens any possible threats around you, and a swift, practical approach to the problems that crop up puts them down before they can get out of hand. What kind of Warrior are you?

I can see that. I expected something more despicable.

Dang, I'm out of it today. I'll go and try and do something, but a few seconds later, I'll forget what it is that I wanted to do. Argh, there was a point I wanted to make, but now I've forgotten what the hell it was! And I've just spent the last couple minutes in some sort of trance. I need to snap out of it.

random thoughts

So this one girlie comes in needing help. And I couldn't tell if she had really bad allergies or if she had been crying. I'm pretty sure it was the latter. Anyways, I reset something for her, but she was still upset because the way things are, she wouldn't be able to access her account until noon, and the class she need to print something for was at noon. So she goes, and I feel guilty. I don't know why. I don't think she was upset over the account thing. And even if she was, I shouldn't feel guilty, its not like I can do anything about it, that's the way things are set up. I think I just feel overly guilty over things. There were a couple of times back when I was still a student where I'll be walking around campus and see some person struggling to carry this heavy box of stuff, and I ponder helping them since I have nothing better to do, but I don't. And I'll feel real guilty about it later and think to myself, "I'm such a jerk! I could've helped a person out, and I didn't!" Then there was that time that it was a torrential downpour, and this girl in the class I was heading to was about a hundered feet ahead of me and sans umbrella. So, she's getting soaked. And I have an umbrella, but I'm too shy to go up and offer to walk with her. I guess I should feel guilty about that.

Then when I was coming back from lunch, I was thinking about how I'm a growing boy, and I should be eating more. Then I suddenly realized, I'm 25 going on 26. I'm old! I feel like I'm still a healthy teenager. But I'm no longer a young man! I am just man.

Oh, and speed kills, y0! That's the key to Sega Strike Figther. Oh, I forgot to mention I got my name on the T4 machine at Mansell. But I did it with Heihachi. I mean, really, that's no contest! I don't think I'm a master, but using him I think I can wipe the floor with 80% of the players out there.

No A/C!

Oh jeez, its getting hot in here. They're trying to fix the A/C, so its turned off right now! Hopefully it'll be fixed soon, because its starting to feel miserable in here!

haircut

I need to get a haircut today. I hate it my hair right now, its too long for my tastes and it feels so unmanagable. I'm pondering telling the person "no guard" instead of a #1 guard. And I still need something that will give me a closer shave. Its so damn annoying! Ah can't stand it.

I am terrifyingly evil!

Find your soul type at kelly.moranweb.com.

Tsk! Though you're not as hollow as the soulless ones, you're filled with unnecessary hatred and scorn.

Virtues: You have none, honestly. All you want is a friend to torture and harass with you! Admittedly, it sounds fun, but honest to god, you need a hobby. Your favorite pasttimes include: bumping into inanimate objects without apologizing, poking little girls in the tum-tum, and putting plastic snakes in the neighbor's driveway. I'm sorry, but you suck at harassing. Take a tip from me: verbal harassment is teh r0x0rz.

Aspirations: Hitman? Satan?

Quirks: Happy people. You just don't like them, do you?

Factors: What happened in your troubled past? I mean, was your father a llama or is it just one of those things where you were the bad child and your sweet little sister was the only one who came out right (*cough, Ali, cough*)? That's okay. I understand.

Future: Counseling seems like the best bet for you. Enjoy the sweet, sacred times you'll have on medication.

Hey! I'm a good boy!

Loud!

Damn, since it was getting unbearably hot here, they set up some big fans to cool the place out. But the maintenance guys finally came back right after the fans were set it up. So all these huge industrial strength fans are going, and now the A/C is on, I can't hear anything going on five feet from my desk!

You've finally made a monkey out of me!

High on X, and just finished with a couple of nymphets I picked up at Abercrombie and Fitch this afternoon. Okay, not really. I'm so bored I'm going gnuts here! I'm antsy. I think I've got a fever, and the only prescription is a spot of ultra-violence followed by a bit of the old in and out. But I should be serious! There are nobler pursuits to devote my time and energy to. Like perhaps writing the great american novel. Or perhaps getting myself into fit enough condition to run in the next marathon. Yeah, right!

Mixmaster Krug made some burgers and eye-talian sasages for dinner. He apologized that were no sides. But that was okay! That just left more room for burgers. Just switching between American Pie and rasslin' on the tele. That trailer for Fastlane makes it look kinda cool. I mean, I was skeptical about it first, but its just so LCD its funny!
