Happy Thursday! I distinctly remember last week when I got out of class, I was surprised that it was still daytime. Today, though, it was definitely late evening. I might even have called it night. It was also cloudy and cool, and I think we're headed into Fall from here on out.
The same as last week, however, is that there is still someone playing Guitar Hero. This time it is Megan. She's learning to play on Medium.
Last Friday was play day, no class for me, so I did a bit of cleaning (not much, don't worry) and ended up hanging out and probably playing video games. Then me and Sam and Gareth, his roommate, went to the Hat for dinner and later after that we went and saw Tropic Thunder with a bunch of people. It definitely was funny, and RDJ was undeniably fantastic, but it had a few too many stupid jokes/painfully embarrassing moments for me to love it. Loved the little drug lord kid, though.
I think Saturday was sleep in day! Got back from the movie way late and all. Ohhh hahah I was just reminded by my roommates that I went home on Saturday. Let me back up a moment.
Found Bowie on Friday, while following Megan to class. Some kids were taking pictures of him with their cellphones, so I saw what they were looking at and said I WANT IT. This is because Bowie Brett is a PRAYING MANTIS. Our friend Eric helped us catch him in a Koalas box, and I took him home and put him in a Gladware.
Then I went home on Saturday to bring back Jayne's cage. Also to take home some big boxes and the extra Brita, and to bring back some Ink-Man stuff and an RCA cable and more cups and all the tea and to pick up my last check from Blockbuster.
I scared my parents to death because when I pulled up the garage door was open and the driveway was full of cars. So I passed by, music blaring out my windows, and parked right across the street. Then I took my stuff out of my trunk and walked up behind them and after about a minute my dad saw me and yelled and then my mom screamed and it was very funny. We hung out and cleaned stuff and then went to lunch at Daphne's Greek Cafe, which is my fave.
Then I ran to Carolyn's house and went with her to bring food to Steven's friend's house, and we ended up talking to his dad for a while. But then we really went to Carolyn's house and we played a game called...Castle...Castle Crashers or something. It was bizarre. XD
AND THEN I DROVE HOME. I think I forgot to mention that I also drove there, so I did a lot of driving that day, and didn't die.
Sunday I didn't do anything except go see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 with Megan and Beth. It was alright. Everyone was very cute. Alexis Bledel still can't act. Also that day I'm being told I wrote my script. Which I'm pretty sure I did. I may have even finished it that day! Too bad I have to re-write it. =[
Monday was nondescript, just one class. OH except I forgot that Monday night I helped shoot for "Wake Up with Matt and Amanda," a sort of news show that plays before chapel on Fridays. It was way fun, but it ran long and I didn't get to sleep until 1. Unlucky me had early work a few hours later. Had to do something of a monologue for acting, it was weird. And late later me and Kelly met with Michael Smith about Ink-Man, which has to be almost entirely re-worked. Oh well. It's going to be fun, this film making process, but also a lot of work. Wish me well.
Also Tuesday we watched The Worst Movie Ever aka A Civil Action starring John Travolta. It was for Sr. Sem. About a third of the way through we were distracted by Beth, who had been followed home by Georgina and Richard, our two new cats. Richard is a scrawny baby, orange, and Georgina is the most skittish kittish I've ever seen, and she likes to go on the roof and look down on us in fear. Brianna fed them a can of tuna and so they spent the rest of the night outside the window meowing.
Spent the rest of the movie doing the Epic Puzzle, one of those mystery ones that doesn't have a picture on the box. It came with a whole story that the image is supposed to solve when it's finished, and it was the most mockable story ever writ. TODAY WE FINISHED THE PUZZLE. Now we need to get another one.
The most exciting thing I did yesterday was convince Megan to sleep in and not go to chapel (oddly enough, the other room also unanimously slept in), and also to watch the pilot of J.J. Abrams' Fringe on the internet. It was okay. Not weird enough for me--you know how Heroes jumps right in and says "this is the world, and these are the strange things that are happening in it"? Fringe takes a much more mundane approach, and it's a standard FBI show the first forty minutes. I think he's still going to have the problem of too many questions, not enough answers. But I'm giving it a chance.
Today I was in class all day, but it was fun. I stand by my assessment of Sci-Fi Films: Being geeks. That's allll we were today. I still love my major.
Okay, that was in depth. I guess I'll close it off now. Sees you next time!
