Washroom Reno Part 3
Hi kids! Welcome back for another exciting adventure of...Washroom Renovations!!!!! a.k.a. When can I take a damned shower??!!
We are entering the 6-9 day range of the washroom renovations with this post, and it is getting ridiculous. I've taken a couple extremely cautious baths, but that is not what I want, no, need.
Saturday Washroom:
What is this you ask? Well friends, this has nothing to do with furthering my chances of taking a shower, that's what.
It is actually a ceiling fan. They decided they would install a ceiling fan, instead of finish the damned bathroom. Good call Dad.
Oh, and this is all they did the entire day.
Sunday Washroom:
Ha funny story really. My Dad told my cousin to not bother coming over today. Yeah.
Monday Washroom:
This picture pretty much sums up the entire day's worth of work my Cousin (and Dad) did.
The tiles were grouted superbly, in my opinion.
The faucet and handles were put back, to my greatful appreciation.
The frame for the new door was put on. This I was happy for because it means I can take a shower tomorrow, after I get home from work at nearly midnight :D
.....I hope anyway :S
There it is, installment #3 on the washroom renovations. There will be plenty more, for when they finish with the tub area, they will move on to finish the rest of the room. Hopefully in record time, but knowing my Cousin and Father, that's damned near impossible :) Oh well, I'm not doing it, that's all I have to say.
I'm still not tired. What the hell is wrong with me?!
Peace.
It's 3am, I can't sleep...
I've been laying in bed for the past hour and a half or so, trying to fall asleep, but dammit I just can't seem to do that.
I don't know if it's because I'm anxious (or completely not) to get back to school tomorrow, but for whatever reason I can't sleep, so I decided I would post on my blog, as I had denied myself this small pleasure today in my aims to get school work done.
Well today (Monday) started off fine, I suppose. I set my alarm for 10am so I would get myself up and get my work done early! I always say that night me is always more enthusiastic and responsible than morning me, but I never seem to remember that. Anyway, I awoke to the radio but I obbbviously didn't get up. I just layed there, drifting in and out of consciousness for two hours before I decided to turn off the radio. 12:30pm rolls around and I decide if I stay in bed any longer I would officially be grossing myself out.
So I went downstairs and made myself some noon-hour breakfast of Shredded Wheat (Yes I'm a grandpa, but I love my Shredded Wheat (with sugar!!!)). I ate and read my book and had a jolly old time doing so. 1pm rolls around, my new favourite TV time of the day because it's time to enjoy my Cosby Show! :D Today, though, I made a pact with myself that I would limit it to one episode (as TBS plays 2 of everything back-to-back, it seems).
After Bill and his craaaaaazy antics, I got busy.....doing school work that is. I had to piece together a news story for radio, which I thought was going to be simple as hell, but turned out to take an hour and a half. Grrrrr I was angry. This put me off doing any work for a while. I told myself I would get back to it by 6pm.
6pm rolls around and I actually manage to stick to my deadline and start on my essay assignment. For this we have to create point form notes on the setup of the news broadcast that we recorded from the radio station (as ive mentioned before). This ended up taking me an hour and a half again! Okay. enough is enough. I want a coffee; I'm gone. So I drove over to Timmy's and picked up a delicious coffee with an even more delicious Canadian Maple donut. MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm good. Long story short(er), I got 3/4 a page done on the essay and I gave up doing anything by 11:30pm. After that I just listened to some music (Red Hot Chili Peppers and MIA mostly) and watched my Daily Show and Colbert Report.
I am now here, and I am not now tired....nah who am I kidding? Hmm....a washroom reno update sounds interesting! haha I get hardly any feedback on that stuff, but even if i did I would still post it out of spite! ha! which i think I'll do....in the next blog.
Peace.
3 off the top of my head movie reviews
Okay I feel like reeling off the last three movies I've watched in another set of congested movie reviews. I choose to do this now at 2:50 because I know I'll try (and win) to convince myself to do this tomorrow when I should be crunching down on my school work. Here they are:
Office SpaceThis is a 1999 comedy about workers at this company who are essentially getting back at the place because their job sucks and/or they were fired from the job. It was created by Mike Judge (Beavis & Butthead/King of the Hill) and stars Ron Livingston (Yeah I don't know him either :P). I decided to watch this movie after seeing a preview for a new version of it being sold on DVD. I've heard a lot about it, but never actually watched it before. I'd have to say that it wasn't a disappointing movie, in fact, I laughed quite a lot and enjoyed myself. I wouldn't put it up there with say Van Wilder (IMO), but I'm sure it's definitely a cult hit with 20-something office workers. I would recommend it. It gives a lot of laughs and will brighten up your night a lot. Also Jennifer Anniston's in it; she's a hotty.
Brokeback MountainWell I really wasn't going to watch this one because the damn thing just got too much hype for a situation that is becoming all to normal nowadays. I ended up watching it because I was running out of movies on my immediate list to download and I didn't want to watch any in my collection at the time. The movie stars Heath Ledger (A Knight's Tale) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Bubble Boy). It's set in Wyoming mostly, and at Brokeback Mountain is where these two roughnecks find love with one another. They're done with the mountain in the first 45minutes I believe and the rest is their meeting up over time. The buildup to their attraction for one another was very small if there at all, I didn't feel it except for Jack Twist's (Gyllenhaal) creepy staring at Ennis (Ledger) as they're going for the job prior to the mountain. I didn't see much to this movie at all and I found it rather boring and stretched out beyond belief. Heath Ledger did well and I believed what his character was going through. Jake G's character Jack though, I didn't feel that the connection was there that much. I got the feeling that Jack Twist brought guys up taht mountain every year and had his way with them if they'd let it. His frequent trips to Mexico for a little salsa action didn't deny my feelings that he wasn't all there either. The wives in the movie weren't bad. Michelle Williams performed better than Anne Hathaway though by a long shot. And finally, for the guys not willing to see this movie I'd let you know the wives show some chest. I didn't expect Ms. seemingly-squeaky-clean-Hathaway to do this, but she did. Just a minor note. In the end, I, personally, would not recommend this movie. As I said, it was far too drawn out and ended up becoming very boring.
Good Night and Good LuckThis is a journalistic tale about Edward R. Murrow and his news team's bid to bring down a U.S. senator by the name of Joseph McCarthy. The movie is shot in black and white to give it that 50s charm, which I found it did. It stars David Strathairn and George Clooney (Syrianna, Oceans 11/12). At the time the movie was set, fear of everyone being a communist was rampant. Murrow and his team looked to exploit this fear in people by bringing down Senator McCarthy, who was accusing people left and right of such things. Even though Clooney (director) is drawing from past events, to me this movie reflects very well on situations in todays society with everyone considering everyone with middle-eastern ties a terrorist. It shows how the American government has constantly beraded its people with fear so they could further their own agenda. For standing up to the senator, Murrow was right and true to the people of his country who took every word he said as a news broadcastor as gospel. It is a great tool for journalists now to use (I being one of them). I wont ruin the end of the movie by going on any further because I believe I will. I will definitely recommend this movie, even though it is relatively short, at around one and half hours. I enjoyed it a lot.
There are my 3, albeit not so, condensed movie reviews. I think I'll try to do this every three movies I watch, unless something really catches my eye that I have to say something.
Peace, again.
2 Days Left til School
Today started pretty much like any other Sunday I guess. I woke up before noon, which is always refreshing. For once in a very long time I actually didn't want to go on the computer; it was a very weird feeling.
I just sat in the livingroom most of the day with my Mom and nephew and watched whatever crap was on TV at the time. Around 2pm I guess, my brother and his fiancée came over for their obligatory Sunday visit. It was her first visit after spending 3 weeks in Portugal with her parents visiting family and whatnot.
Later in the day after taking my nephew home, my Mom and I had some argument over how long the grout is supposed to stay before you can shower again. She had told me that the guy at Home Depot told her like 7-12 hours while my Dad and Cousin told her like 7 days or some crap. Anyway she told me how my Dad was telling her this 7 day business, but she confused it with her idea of 12 hours before showering.
The jist of it is that I pointed out to her that she said my Dad said 12 hours, so I told her that she meant he said 7 days. Now I don't know how she misunderstood me, but we ended up arguing over it. This wasn't a terribly big deal because my family argues about the stupidest things all the damn time. The problem I have is that I hated myself for raising my voice over something so juvenile as that. We hardly talked after that, but it's because we, and everyone else in my family, are stubborn like that. We'll be fine come tomorrow.
Well I had to get that off my chest, as it's been bugging me most of the night.
In other news, there are two days left until school resumes again (tuesday) and I still haven't done anything productive with regards to my pre-march break homework. I have some 4-pg essay to write on a 10minute radio broadcast I managed to wake up early enough to record on Thursday. I also have to piece together a radio story from a thing I covered back in February. I don't know if she would accept it due to it's lack of relevance, now that it's nearly a month later. Oh well. There's a few other things I have to do as well but I'll try to stress them out when I have to. GOD I don't want to go back! :(
Anway that's enough out of me tonight I think.
Peace.
Washroom Reno Part Two
Well I'm back again with another bathroom update:
Washroom on Wednesday:
As you can see, tiles are actually being placed on the wall now.
The front and back walls of the bathtub area aren't put on yet, and the top smaller tiles havent been fitted either.
Another day without a shower and I'm on the fritz.
Washroom on Thursday:
Give it to me the responsibility to take essentially one picture per day to post for this blog and I end up forgetting to post a damn picture >:(
Anyway I have an excuse. I got up too late and they were still working on it. Also, when I got home from work I absolutely had to take a bath, regardless of how nasty I feel taking a bath is.
I managed to take it and it was the most caution riddled bath ever. I couldn't get water anywhere outside the tub because the caulking still wasn't on the walls. Either way I was clean! or semi-clean, whatever!
Washroom on Friday:
I had to work from 3pm today for cleaning the A/Cs at work because I don't have to go in tomorrow. This being the case, I didn't have much time after I woke up to take a picture of the washroom.
After I got home from work tonight I took it. That's why it looks yellower, because of the light.
So the tiles have been put all over the walls now, all that's left is the caulking and putting on of the door, which will happen tomorrow, I hope.
The washroom isn't really near completion, but my bathtub is, which means a shower is on the horizon sometime soon!
Since I don't have to work tomorrow I'm headin out with my friend and we're hittin a café in Kensington Market, which should be fun, if not interesting. After that I have to head to Eaton Centre again so I can hopefully find a couple gifts from me mah and youngest nephew. After THAT we may head to our friend's store and talk to him about a potential trip to Darien Lake in the summer. It looks to be a lengthy post tomorrow so stay tuned! :D
Peace
Bathroom Reno Post 1
Okay so my parents decided they would renovate our main bathroom. This means for the length of time it takes them to finish the thing, I can't take a shower. It has inspired me to create somewhat of a photo log of the progress of said washroom renovation.
Day 1 - Sunday - Pre-Reno
As you can see this is our bathroom, before it's been touched. You can't see from this picture however that the tiles only go to about slightly after the picture ends.
Day 2 - Monday - The Reno Begins
As we enter the first official day of renovations, we can see that all the tiles have been removed and their little square leftovers are showing.
We were a little concerned about all that darkness at the bottom, but apparently it wasn't mould or anything. I dunno...looks suspicious to me. Ah well, it's on its way out.
Day 3 - Tuesday - Progress continues to be made!
All that nasy walling has been removed and the bare wood planks are left remaining.
There's no turning back now for the renovation. It must be finished now.
A shower would be nice right about now, but they said I can't take one for some reason. Bah! I say, Bah!
Another update will come in about three days with the same essential format. Whether you want it or not :) (It occupies me, sadly)
Peace
Tedious
While the teachers and the colleges have been giving eachother the silent treatment over this labour dispute, I've been sitting at home.
Approaching 18 days now I haven't been at school, learning. 11 of those days are class time, but only 7 have been actual class time missed for me. Either way, 18 days of sitting on my ass is driving me insane.
Sure I've gone out on the occasion and I've gone to work, but what's a few hours out compared to the majority of the day stewing in my own mind.
I've never realized how much school actually keeps me from going crazy from myself. I spend so much time pre-occupied with it that I don't really pay attention to my inner thoughts.
I guess that's why this is so scary for me to experience now, so suddenly. I haven't really spent this much time alone with myself in a very long time.
It's not that I don't want to go out. If someone offered I'd jump at the chance to get out of the house. Since nobody's really offering, I don't do much. I can't just go by myself to a mall and chill out; I'm not like that for some reason. Sometimes it's okay, I'll do it, but on a day-to-day basis I figure I'd like company with me.
I dunno, this is somethin I felt I needed off my chest.
This feeling usually creeps up in the post 2am hours when I SHOULD be sleeping but am not.
I'm done....i think.
peace.

3 condensed movie reviews.
In the past 4 days I've watched three, count 'em, four movies. I've given my Chappelle Block Party review, which was not the greatest in my opinion, but it was my first and that was that. I'm going to give three short reviews of the movies I've recently watched. The first is Domino, the second is Saw II and the third is V for Vendetta.
Domino:
Stars Keira Knightley as Domino Harvey. It's the story of a England born, Beverly Hills raised girl who goes from model to bounty hunter. It's (LOOSELY) based on the story of the real Domino Harvey. The movie itself is awesome. The camera work, the music (although somewhat repeptitive) and the acting is very well done. A lot of the things that happen seem quite unbelievable if you're thinking it's based on reality, but they let you know that enough so I didn't really complain about it that much. I like the movie a lot and I would recommend it.
Saw II:
Okay so this is yet another sequel. I won't give the ending or anything away, if you chose to watch it, but pretty much right off the bat once they're in the house and awakening to find that they're a part of Jigsaw's game I figured out who was the "bad guy". I was going on from what happened in the first movie with the dead guy on the floor (sorry if you haven't seen Saw). The movie tries too hard to be scary or thrilling. The way the characters in the movie act seems way too over the top and not realistic in my opinion. The bright spot I guess is the way the brutality plays out, it was gory enough and creative but not incredibly over the top as with the rest of the movie. In the end I wouldn't really recommend it.
V for Vendetta:
This is the last of the three movies if you've lost count. I just saw this one tonight. It stars Natalie Portman (Star Wars Ep I, II, III, Garden State) and Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, Lord of the Rings). It's set in the somewhat near future in London. The country's been taken over by some quasi-Hitler type fellow and has been supressed as such. Weaving's character "V" as he is called, for that was the number of his cell where he was imprisoned and tested upon..etc., is a revolutionist who is looking to give the people back its power over it's government so everyone can be happy again. Portman's character Evey is rescued, essentially, by V and she end's up living with him. There's somewhat of a love story there, but it's so lame with the guy's mask and whatnot. Also, the Wachowski bros. (Matrix Trilogy) produced the film. The entire time watching it I was waiting for the bullet time thing. I got it, but it was with V's knives. I hate the bullet time thing. Stop doing that now. :) The movie, while it had some good messages and storyline, was just a little to weird for my tastes. The mask and costume of V is entirely too distracting and took away a lot of my enthusiasm about seeing the movie in the first place. I would recommend it but only if you believe you can manage to not be distracted by that mask and costume. If the commercials bugged you, then the movie definitely will.
Dave Chappelle's Block Party Review - Good or Bad - Take it for what it is.
Here is my review of the talented Dave Chappelle's effort at a documentary of putting together a block party in Brooklyn, NY for his many fans.
I went into this film with little to no knowledge of what it would really be about. I knew it would have Chappelle going about and giving people tickets to go to Brooklyn to watch the concert. I knew it would have comedy and I knew it would have music. I just wasn't too sure about what would be the dominant theme of the three.
The movie is all over the place; which isn't necessarily a negative comment, it's just how it is. It would start off with the concert taking place, a performer rapping for a bit, then it would cut to Chappelle giving some local Ohio neighbour of his a ticket to go see the show.
That is basically how the entire film went from then on; constantly jumping back and forth like that.
As the movie progressed I came to realize that it wasn't necessarily a film about the putting together of this crazy block party, but the coming together of a generation's musical influences. Performers ranged from Mos Def, to Eryka Badu, to Dead Prez to The Fugees (yes, The Fugees!).
The film had a real sense of a musical family performing as one unit. It would go from concert to practice sessions, and at all times they seemed like they would be having the greatest of fun. People from the crowd even mentioned how the performers were so relaxed and making themselves available to the people all the time; which is so rare in today's celebritydom.
Even though I wasn't knowledgeable of much of the music that they performed, I felt I vibed with it well, and it may have turned me on to a few of the artists.
In the end I would definitely recommend this movie. It is very fun and relaxed and overall enjoyable. Oh, and Dave Chappelle rocks! - Sorry, so unprofesisonal :P
Hope it was an adequate review.
Peace
Pondering a lil bit about life..deep thinking time.
As I was lying in bed, coming off my XL coffee high, I got to thinking about where I wanted my life to go. It's a healthy thing to do every once and a while I think and I haven't done it in a very long time.
When I'm finally "grown up" and living on my own, I would like my life to be comfortable. I hate the fact that my parents are essentially living from paycheck to paycheck. Something I've always wanted for myself was a nice stability with regards to my money. I don't care if I'm ever going to be rich, but I want money to not be a worry in my life; I hate it, so I don't want to have to think about it.
That brings me to my career. I'm not totally sure what I wish to do at the moment, unfortunately. When I do decide though, I want it to be something I am, first and foremost, happy at doing. I will not settle for much less in my work life. As I said before, this job doesn't have to make me rich, but I would like it to make me stable in life.
Stability comes into play when I want to start a family. Over the past year or so, what I've wanted for my future has changed quite a bit, I think; for a certain other person had opened my eyes up to other possibilities for what a family could be. I used to be adamant about when I would settle down, I would have a wife with two kids; hopefully a boy and a girl, although any combination is fine by me. I would still like to have two children max, but adoption is an avenue I hadn't thought of before. Of course having my own children would be ...better? is that the word? Hopefully you get it. Yeah so anyways, adopting a child would be a great thing to do. To save another helpless person from growing up in an orphanage with no real parent is something that's seemingly grown on me, and would definitely be an option in the future should it arise.
To have a family I would have to have a wife to raise that family with. Now I don't know if at 21 years old, many people, specifically guys, are thinking about all this, but I do. For one reason or another I've always been looking for that woman that I feel I could be with, not just any person, you know? In a woman I look for someone who has some semblance of a brain. I like a challenge in a relationship, and If you cannot atleast be on my level, I don't know if it'd succeed. A family oriented person is very important. Over the last little while, family has moved up high on my list of who I should be, and the woman I'm with should also fit that. For some reason I find myself attracted to women who are more outgoing and exciting than I am. I guess it's because they bring out the inner me and I'm not as shy any more. Whatever the reason, I feel it's important. I would be lying if I said looks didn't come into play. I'm not going into any detail, because the looks I like are so varied; I have no set attraction to any particular woman...I just know.
I suppose I could go into a lot more detail about my ideal woman, but I won't. =P
I know many of the things I've written about may not happen, but I'd like atleast the majority of it to come to fruition. I feel I deserve atleast that.
-Peace
Chappelle here I come
Hey all. I'm happy because I'm finally going out during the middle of the week. Not only that, I'm going to go see Chappelle's Block Party. I've been dying to see this movie since I heard about it like a month ago.
I'm proud to report that I had a wonderful streak of 2 roll up the rim wins. When I went to redeem my coffee tonight though, it came up a loser :( ah well. I got an XL after 11pm tonight. I guess this means I'll be up for a lonnnggg time :S
I had a pretty productive, though uneventful (as usual), day at work tonight. I love my tuesdays because when I finish sorting out the uniforms we wear, I can just lounge in the room and read my book til the buzzer goes to end another day. Tuesdays are about the only real day I actually read my books. If i dont get my cushy job for one reason or another, I get so grumpy and take it out on everyone *hmph* I get angry just thinkin about it =P
Man I've got nothin to write, so I'll call it a blogging night.
Peace

No Monitor for me...yet.
As the title says, I haven't gotten my monitor yet.
Today I woke up at like 2-2:30pm (again) and I didn't feel like going out much. Also, as I usually do with semi-big purchases, I was having second thoughts about getting it.
My day went by rather uneventfully. My brother was over by the time I woke up. His fiancee is in Portugal so she obviously couldn't make the visit. I had spaghetti today, my favourite food ever!
The biggest news of the day was that I finally won my first coffee on Rrroll up the Rim to win by Tim Horton's!!!!!!!!
Yes I was so excited I took a pic of it all. =P
I later was talking to a friend of mine and he owns a store downtown for computers and whatnot. He was telling me he'd sell me a monitor from his place. I figure this week I'll drop on by and get one from him.
The college's are still striking so I figure I'll be off atleast another week. Good stuff.
ok I think I've exhausted all I can talk about today.
Peace.
Insert Creative Head Here
I am beat. It's now about 10:30pm. I've been up since before 6am because I had to go to work, as is my Saturday norm. I go through peaks and valleys of awakedness/tiredness. Sometimes I'm lying on my bed, half-conscious of my surroundings and ready to die. Other times I am wide awake and bouncing off the walls.
Today at work wasn't too bad. I got a little high, not as much as I wanted to; I think this is becoming a habit as long as the shite is available. Me and my friend (mostly me) pissed off the mechanic we go to who tells us which A/C units to clean and whatnot. He's a grumpy old guy and we get him pissed off every week; it's too fun.
After work I picked up a GameCube fighting game called Naruto: Clash of Ninja. It's an anime show i semi-watch now, but I enjoy the fact that it's in game format. Yeah I'm a nerd, wanna fight about it?! (Family Guy ;) )
I also managed to get downtown today. I dragged my nephew along with me. We just walked along Yonge from College to the Eaton Centre. Stopping in the various stores along the way. Mmmm...We also had a Big Slice pizza. If you're ever downtown and you enjoy pizza, this place has the biggest slices ever! It's just south of Gerrard, on the east side of Yonge.
We walked through the Eaton Centre afterwards. I didn't end up buying anything, although I was tempted to buy shoes yet again. Bah.
I think I've decided that I want to buy a new monitor for my PC. Ever since I got my laptop, the monitor has looked crappy, and it's slowly dying on me as well. So I think maybe tomorrow I'll head over to Future Shop and pick up a new flat screen for me!!!
Game Time.
Peace
Holiday madness continues...
I am so terribly bored. As much as I don't want to go back to school at the moment, I want to do something!
Everybody's working all the time so I have no one to hang out with. I think I need more friends, although the ones I have, I'm pretty tight with, and I think that's probably the better way to go.
I think my nephew (older one, 14yrs) is coming over for his March Break, which is next week. If I feel up to it I might go downtown to the Eaton Centre to spend some money (as usual). ugghh i wanted to do something more fun, but I guess I'll try for that tomorrow night.
I don't even feel up to watching a movie or reading my book (Brave New World - Aldous Huxley) today.
Wallowing in boredom, Peace.
Mid-week holiday awesomeness
It's the middle of my reading week. Truthfully I'm starting to get sick of myself. Everyone I know is working. Whenever someone's available to do something, I'm working! I don't think I've watched more movies in a shorter time frame than I have this week. Today was no exception.
I actually devoted most of my day to reading/finishing my book A Time To Kill by John Grisham. Man, I saw the movie a couple years ago and it was good, but this book is awesome, even though I have pictures of the actors in my head. I don't think I'll read another of Grisham's books though, this one had a great story line and I just think it's meant for me to only read one of his books.
When I found out LOST was going to be a repeat tonight I got a little angry, then resigned myself to watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Hella long movie it was, as they all are. It was still really well done. The kids are getting better at acting as the series moves along. I like how the movies keep relatively in tune with the books too. Unlike the LOTR series (although they were still pretty good).
During HP I paused it and made a run over to Walmart because I had a major craving for some chips. While I was there i ended up spending more money than I planned to, as usual. Stupid things too. Like Advil (I didnt have a headache), a Stapler (wtf), and body soap & gum (okay those 2 were somewhat of a necessity).
After that movie I had time to kill (as if i didnt before), so I watched Lost in Translation, which I jsut bought on DVD. Man, that movie is soooo good. Even better on a real DVD =P
That concludes my night.
Peace
Yup.......
Even though this post may say the 8th, I'm writing for the 7th of March.
So yeah, the colleges did end up going on strike, putting us 150,000 lowly community college students out of our education for however long they take to fix the problem. The problem as I know it is the teachers want more full time teachers hired. They were offered a nice raise over 4 years I believe, but turned it down. Right now the prospects of a slightly longer vacation are looking inviting.
Today I got up around 1pm I think. I didn't do much since I had work later in the day, so I finished watching Into the Blue, which i started last night. The movie was okay. It had Jessica Alba, which is always a positive for me.
After I ate I left for work, but before I went in I stopped by Future Shop for a little purchase or two.
I decided to buy Lost in Translation, as it's one of my favourite movies ever, and I didn't think having a downloaded version was fair. Today was also the day that the latest Harry Potter movie came out. I blame my nephew for my addiction to this stupid wizard. I've read all the books and watched all the movies. Now that he's out of the Potter craze, I'm kinda pissed because I have no one to share it with. Meh I guess :P.
Work was pretty uneventful. I got to read my book a little bit which is always a plus. Although since my friend was also working, I didn't get a chance to finish it as I wanted to. Again I guess I'll go meh.
Well that was my exciting day.
Peace
March Break Madness ensues.....
Okay so I've started my March break off with a BANG. no I'm just shittin' ya; I've done jack all, really.
Today I woke up at a reasonable 10-something AM. I was proud of myself.
I spent most of the day reading my book. It's been such a long while since I've been able to do that and I relished every minute of it. I have a little more than 100 pages left; it's quite an accomplishment for me as I get sidetracked so very often.
Last night after I posted I tried to watch another movie but fell asleep a half hour in. Tonight I watched it again. It was Suspect Zero starring Ben Kingsley. This movie sucked. That's that...I'm not even going to give you a description. DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. There.
I'm just bored right now. I'm trying to figure out which movie I have, but haven't watched, but would like to maybe give a try at watching. It's just too hard. They all suck. I used to go on this movie downloading binge, just for the simple reason that I could. I havent watched a good third of my (who knows how many) movies.
I'm sure I'll figure something out after I post and I'll fill you all in on the exciting details after! Can't wait, eh?!
Ohhhh..... I think college's in Ontario are going on strike or something. This is all very bittersweet for me. I'm lazy by nature, and this added break sounds so welcoming. But added school in May, the month of my birth, doesn't sound so awesome to me. I'm thinkin I don't want a strike, but if it pays off in the short run my lazy self will enjoy it, even if it means school in May. That's that.
Peace.
If ever I had a lazier day....
Today I managed to wake up at a sexy 2pm. This must have been a record for me...had to have been.
My brother came by to visit. He dropped of his fiancée's recently deceased cat's stuff for my own cat. Her and her family are back home in Portugal; he's got their house for himself, no cat to bug him anymore either.
Anyway, my breakfast was my dinner (we eat at ungodly early hours when my Dad gets his way) at around 2:30pm-ish. I ate all of it. Im a fat-ass (not really).
After sitting around for a bit, he left. We then took my nephew home...yada yada yada.
I then just chilled out and relaxed for the rest of the night. I decided I would finish watching Hustle & Flow. Turns out it wasn't a bad movie; pretty good actually. After i finished that I felt the need for another, so I watched Amélie. It was recommended to me a while back but I never had an interest or need to watch it...until tonight; it just seemed that I
had to watch the damn thing...so i did. It was really well done too, not the greatest movie I've ever seen, but it was funny and entertaining. Certainly different from what I'm accustomed to.
That was my day up until now...11:45pm. I hope to read my book (A Time to Kill - Grisham), or if that fails I'll watch a nother movie; I feel weird. I've got the week off so I'll be catching up on a lot of things I think.
-Peace
