80's Day at the Video Store
Today was a pretty uneventful day at Kim's. Mostly we just watched a ton of 80's movies (and helped the occasional client). First we took on Skeletor with the Dolph Lundgren/Frank Langella version of Masters of the Universe. We followed that up with Goonies in all its glory. After that came Ferris Beuller's Day Off then another Jennifer Gray ( Read more... ) -
The Move
So we moved yesterday. It was both more and less of an adventure than I anticipated. The whole process went much smoother than it could have because Quentin and Krys came to help us, as did Alison's dad. Alison and Krys did most of the small boxes while Quentin and I carried the furniture. Between the Gurins' minivan and the U-Haul cargo van I ( Read more... ) -
Keys
There's something strange happening in the cosmos now that is affecting me and keys. What planet rules keys? I feel like it's probably Mercury, but I can't verify that ( Read more... ) -
Movin' on ... Down???
Alison and I are moving. We put money down on a new apartment last night. And while we'd love to move up, to quote the old idiom, it serves us better to move down, in more ways than one ( Read more... ) -
New Obsession
So I've started doing the mycokerewards thing. I figure I buy soda anyway, why not get useless free crap out of it. I just dug through the recycling on my block for 12 pack boxes and bottle caps.
I'm insane.
I also just got back from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and must say, as much as I detested the second movie and expected the ( Read more... ) -
Heroes Finale & Googlefight
So Heroes was awesome. I want Season 2, DAMMIT!!!!
And I found the biggest waste of time ever and I love it. Use google to see who wins fights. googlefight.com. I like beatles vs. elvis, cat vs. dog. "to be" vs. "not to be," Alien vs. Predator, Freddy vs. Jason, Mets vs. Yankees, and monkey vs. robot. What fun fights can you think of? And ( Read more... ) -
It rains every time I go to Boston
So this weekend Alison and I are going to Boston for my brother's graduation. We're going to be sharing a hotel room with my parents, which is a bit awkward, especially since they are rather prudish and puritanical about the two of us sleeping in the same bed in their house. I guess if it's not under their roof they don't care. Jonathan will be ( Read more... ) -
New
I have a new job. A second job. I work at Kim's Mediatronics in Jersey City now. I will be doing about 20 hrs a week on nights and weekends. I get free rentals, and they pay me for my time, and it should get me a few hundred dollars more a month. It'll get me out of debt a lot faster, and I'll be able to pay to go to South Africa much easier ( Read more... ) -
Paris, je te deteste
This makes me sick. The justice system isn't a popularity contest, and it's not a democratic system. You don't get to vote on whether you're guilty or not. You drink, you drive, you get caught, you go to jail. A petition shouldn't have any effect. In fact, it should enrage the judge to increase her sentence. I hope there's a petition going ( Read more... ) -
TV
Heroes last night was disappointing. I didn't buy the whole remorseful Syler thing. And coming off the last two episodes, which were both amazing, it was a real slowing of the pace of the show. Let's hope the last two episodes of the season are better.
I just read the best news ever, as well. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip will be returning to ( Read more... )
