Me Spoons!

Well, I'm finally living the American Dream - I'm getting me some land. Next monday is move-in day, and though I'll just be renting an apartment it feels like I just staked a claim on the dusty prarie and then died, and then came back to life.

So, that's right I'll be moving in on monday evening. It shouldn't take very long because although my financial advise is sound it didn't resolve with me owning very much of anything, furniture wise anyway, or major purchase wise. I don't have a TV, a couch, a washer, a coffee table, a table, a chair, dishes (until recently all I had were some oversized bowls), a bed, but I do have a lamp, which was a gift. I suppose that all this stuff will come eventually and that I shouldn't worry.

That's about all the news, except to say that I was triumphant at Risk over the weekend, but was beaten soundly in a protracted contest in Warcraft III. It was a good fight, but I lost because as much as the elves are cool, my strategy has always been mass production of cheap units such as Zerglings, and the occasional Hydrolisk. With that, my life for ire.

A Vege-Mite Sandwich

So, nothing really happened today. There have been rumors about Rob Schneider passed around the water cooler. I want to clear this up right now. I don't know who Rob is, and I don't take kindly to strangers.

That said, I reread a story I wrote several years ago, about some animals who talked and did everything just like people except they were animals. Strange I guess.

I got some free food at work today. They feed us at 12:30 AM. We got hawaiian chicken and a fruit and veggie platter to pick from. And all the Barq's I could want. It was advertised as a Patio Luau, but there were no hula dancers or hawaiian shirts or anything.

Also it appears that BYU has come out in support of X-Box not PS2, and for that matter videogames in general. This is big news because now it appears that videogames are a valid thing to do.

What the far reaching effects of this endorsement will be even the wisest can not tell. But it is readily apparent that apologies should soon be forthcoming for confiscated controllers.

The Witching Hour

It is hard to think of something to say at this time of night, when all of the crazy people should be in bed. So what I'm about to say has had very little thought put into it.

First. For all those who still rag on Fast and the Furious you should know two fackts. 1. This movie united critics on www.imdb.com. 2. It's much better than Riddick, and The Little Mermaid put together.

Second. I went kayaking again today, and it is harder than it looks to do one of those roll over things. Actually I was never able to do one on purpose.

Third. I went camping over the weekend and it was fun. I saw two beavers swimming.

Fourth. I called my brother today and I want to visit him and the minka-ma.

Fifth. I am reading the Lord of the Rings and it is still good.

Sixth. I signed a contract for an apartment, therefore soon I will play video games.

Seventh. I listened Tom Petty and it reminded me of a cool summer night.

Eighth. There have been some cool movie scenes involving guns and night clubs. The opening scene to the Replacement Killers is one, and the club scene in Collateral is just as good.

Ninth. China is here.

Tenth. I wish I had a dog.... or two.

Casting Call

Dad: Jeff Goldblum
Mom: Diane Keaton

Me: Luke Wilson
My Wife: Kiera Knightley

My Brother: Adam Sandler
My Sister-in-Law: Drew Barrymore
Their twins: The Olsens, obviously

My Sister: Lucy Lawless, obviously or maybe Neve Campbell
Her Husband: Vince Vaughn
Their Son: Baby

My Youngest Sister: Christina Ricci

My Brother-in-Law: Sam Rockwell (Guy)
My Sister-in-Law: Kate Hudson
My Nephew: Baby 2

My Brother-in-Law: Matthew Perry
My Sister-in-Law:

My Brother-in-Law: Karl Urban (Eomer)

My Mother-in-Law: Connie Nielson (Gladiator)

PS--Be outraged!!

If anybody need me...

There is nothing to do at work right now. So I sit here a remember things about my life and wonder if they are worth typing out, or if they are worth it to anyone (myself included) to read.

Then I remembered about the on-going debate between swim coaches at SouthEast Y. In one corner there was Matt (I think that was his name). He was probably in his early twenties, looked like he lifted some weights and had a crew cut. In the other corner was Kevin. He was still in high school, and he had a kind of crazy longer hair style. It was basically about the hair. I voted Kevin, and my dad voted Matt. It wasn't a serious disagreement, but it is yet further proof that Rob Johnson was not the undoing of the family.

Also on that day in history:
ME: "I don't like backstroke, because I suck at it."
MY MOM: "What did you say?"
ME: "I suck at backstroke, so I don't like it."
MY MOM: "We don't say that word."
ME(underbreath): "Well, I do suck at it."
MY DAD: Chuckle

Southeast, Southeast, Southeast Y!!!

Bring Me My Monocle

I am, of course, at work.

At long last it is possible that I have found an apartment, which means that I can finally try and grow a goatee.

Also I just got gmail. Which obviously means I'm gcool.

In other news: I have watched Donnie Darko about 3 times since I last blogged. Doing that reminds me of The Fugitive;I don't really need to explain that. I also watched Silverado, Hidalgo, Tombstone, and Open Range. The best one of those was Open Range, which was B+ material.

Contrary to popular opinion, one of the more entertaining movies ever is The Fast and The Furious. Also contrary to popular opinion I do more than watch movies when I don't have work. I went on a hike yesterday, with the dog.
