|I'll be waiting in line just to see if you care...|
Current Music: Spies, Coldplay
Current Thought: Yay, I have a new digital watch! What time is it? I know! I know!
Ahh, it's a nice slow Friday at the Writing Center. My new Coldplay CD is on the boombox. I had my first guitar lesson yesterday. I've played Age of Mythology three times since it arrived on Wednesday. About thirty minutes ago, Bridgett said "Mistaked." I'm gonna see a movie with Laura and friends tomorrow. I'm going to get an extra two hours each week. There's a sticker on this computer monitor that says "I VOTED." The pen on the desk is from the Association for Computing Machinery. This music is making my consciousness stream like RealPlayer.
Current Music: One Last Breath, Creed (stuck in my head since Saturday)
Current Thought: That was fun.
So now that Saturday is officially over by about 36 hours, I guess I'll get into the details of my party.
All went very well. It was a nice small crowd (apparently all the people Ryan invited without me knowing didn't show up). Certain people didn't even bother to ask off work for the evening, even though they've known about it for over a month.
At about 9, we decided to go over to Natalie's house and watch The Bourne Identity on the new HDTV (which is still evil, but nonetheless very cool). So we went to Blockbuster, where I have a membership. Every copy was checked out. So Sam assured us that Hollywood Video would have some copies. They didn't. So then I realized that I had $20 in my pocket, and we could go to Wal-Mart and buy it. We did. It was $15.96. Everyone pitched in a little, and I'm now the co-owner. Then we went out to the car and I realized that Eryn had given me a $15 Wal-Mart gift card for my birthday, that very evening, and it was still at home. Rrrrrg. Oh well. At least I've got the DVD. Unfortunately, it's full-screen. They'd better let me exchange it.
So that was Saturday. I stayed the night at Natalie's, and we went to church in the morning, then got a small group together, drove about 60 miles to the IMAX theater, and watched The Two Towers. The novelty of a really big screen started to wear off about thirty minutes into the movie. Long shots, panoramas of the landscape, and anything with a moving camera was absolutely spectacular (Gandalf vs. the Balrog sticks out in my mind), but nothing else really did anything for me. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon, though.
Side note: Sam didn't come. He said he didn't want to miss the kickoff at the Superbowl. Everyone nearby at the time reminded him that he hates football. He replied, "Who cares? It's the Superbowl!" So he's obviously only into it for the spectacle. Poor boy.
Side note #2: Sam offered me good money for the rhythm pickup on my Strat. He was totally serious. He loves that pickup. I told him maybe, but I think I'll keep the pickup just because. Muahahaha.
Anyway, that was my weekend. Got good presents. Happiness has occured, as Hannah M. would say.
