Wow……….strange (and bad) movie. I won’t spoil it for any of you who actually think you want to go see it, but trust me, it’s not worth the $6 or $7 dollars to get a ticket. Actually, it’s the only movie this summer that I’ve seen which I won’t be getting on DVD when it comes out as a result of me hating the movie (see my note next to The Terminal):
- Van Helsing
- Troy
- Shrek 2
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- The Day After Tomorrow
- The Terminal (Won’t be getting on DVD since it’s not a movie I’d watch all that often, but it was still good)
- Spiderman 2
- King Arthur
- I, Robot
- The Bourne Supremacy
- Catwoman
About time to eat lunch and then I’m going back to CPL for a few hours. They better not be showing The Village there….

That’s kinda how yesterday felt :)
After my friend and I got to the hotel 30 minutes later than I originally planned, we figured that registration would already be going on. It was a good guess if they had actually bothered to follow their schedule. The registration tables didn’t even open up for another hour and 30 minutes, then we stood in Line #1 for about 40 minutes, got our nametage, then stood in Line #2 for about 30 minutes more. Note to CPL staff: A schedule is something you’re supposed to follow, not just create and then conveniently forget.
I’m probably going back again on Saturday for at least part of the day (maybe not all, there’s only so much I can actually do). Tommorow, I have The Village to go see, and I’ll post my thoughts on that when I get home.

I’ve had this DVD for over a year, but never got around to watching it until last night (well, technically early this morning). While it’s probably not going to be a movie that I watch as often as some of my others (Galaxyquest, The Mummy (Returns), etc.), this has to have been one of the best non-action and saddest movies that I’ve seen in a very long time. If you haven’t seen it (and you can manage to sit through something where stuff doesn’t blow up every 5 seconds) definitely go out and rent it.
CPL starts today, so expect my post tomorrow to deal with my experiences that I have there.

The numbers don’t stand for quite the same things that they did the first time though. This time, it’s 1 DDR Party, 2 FFXI Websites, and 3 Extremely Good Movies.
1 DDR Party: Tuesday night Sam had a DDR party over at his house. While only a few of us actually had prior experience playing, it was fun, and a bunch of people made the comment that they wanted to go out and buy it. It did strike me as being a little humorous when people aske me if this was just a normal DVD. Not sure how you would connect the pads then…
2 FFXI Websites: The site I am designing for my FFXI clan finally went online on its new paid hosting, and I have also been recruited as the lead person for the FFXI division of another website. Not exactly what I would call the best timing to have both of these come up together, but it’ll at least keep me busy for a while.
3 Extremely Good Movies: I saw 3 movies this week: I, Robot, The Bourne Supremacy, and Catwoman. I liked all of these movies a whole lot, and definitely recommend that anyone reading this should go see them. I, Robot was a very entertaining cdi-fi/mystery movie, The Bourne Supremacy was an extremely good sequel (although I suggest seeing The Bourne Identity first), and Catwoman rivals Spiderman 2 as being one of the best superhero(ine) movies I’ve ever seen.
Going along with the number 3, that’s how many people called my house within 45 minutes wanting an answer to the exact same question. Not a whole lot of cross-communication going on there…

Yesterday marked the one month point until we have to go back to school (August 16th). Every summer I always say that I’m going to do a whole lot of stuff, but (as expected) I maybe get about 1/10 of it done. Still in the middle of reading my two books for summer reading which hopefully I can get finished up by the week prior to school starting so I have a few days to review each of them. Anyone that knows me knows that reading comprehension isn’t exactly an area where I excel in. Plot summary? Yes. Characters? Kinda. Style analysis and what the deeper meaning of lines 5-23 are? No.
For the past 4 nights (Tuesday-Friday), we’ve had Vacation Bible School at our church. Since my grandparents are the ministers, I of course get to help with everything that we do (food, singing, crafts, etc.). At least that’s over with and I hold the unofficial veto power for any and all future years.
Ratchet and Clank (the first one, not Going Commando) is my new favorite game. I’m about 2/3 to 3/4 done with it already, and next up on my list is the sequel. I’m trying to play and beat games that have sequels (or simply more games coming out in the series) coming out this fall (R&C: Up Your Arsenal, Sly 2: Band of Thieves, Jak 3, etc.) before the sequels come out. Then not to mention great games such as Beyond Good and Evil, Metal Arms: Glitch in the System, and Prince of Persia that I still need to play. I wonder if 1 month if even enough…

Sam wanted me to make sure that I mentioned that he and Stephanie Holford were over at my house on Tuesday. Sam and I were supposed to be working on the Computer Science Club website, but all we really did was play DDR for about 1-2 hours. So Sam (and Stephanie), here’s your “shout out” that you wanted on my blog :).

Hope that anyone who bothers to read this had a great 4th of July weekend and did lots of fun stuff. We didn’t go anywhere like we normally do since tonight we are going to see the second musical that we have tickets to, The King and I.
Since Saturday evening, I have been downloading episodes from two of my favorite comedies on Fox. The first one, Quintuplets, just premiered a few weeks ago, but has already become one of the shows that I try to watch every week. The other show, Arrested Development, has completed its first season and is going to start its second in the fall. Both of these shows are part of Fox’s LOL Sunday lineup, so it makes them easy to watch along with Malcolm.

The past two days have been pretty boring for me. Next week is a completely different story, though. If you’re going to read this post, however, you get a run down of the boring past two days, not the exciting future week.
Yesterday I played FFXI….lots. Almost gained an entire level (really 2, but I had so little XP left to go for the first one that I’m not counting it) by fighting in Batallia Downs. Kazham needs to go die and take all of its evil Gobs with it. Also started the first Splinter Cell on Xbox (again, I have this habit of restarting games that I’m not all that far in if I haven’t played them in ages) last night, but I’m still on the first level. So much for trying to diminish my backlog of games this summer.
Today was a little more active, but not by much. I went out to lunch at Cici’s Pizza and then came home and started playing SWG. Not really sure how I’ve done comparatively in SWG today to FFXI yesterday, but I’ve still made progress. I also explained to my parents about upgrading their cellphones to GSM (I’m the only one with that right now), but I still need to get them to go to Cingular and actually do the upgrade.
Yeah, that’s it. Sad, huh??
