Well I had an interesting night. A friend of mine, his grandma died and so he wasn’t in the best of moods. We all decided to just have a zone out type of night and go see Resident Evil completely hammered. We drink a lot and start walking to the theater. I’m already having problems standing up. Movie didn’t start for a while so we walked over to Denny’s and ate for a little bit. Movie time comes around so we walk back and start standing in line. I’m getting antsy and walk into another theater where they’re playing AvP. Sweet! I’m not watching that stupid ass RE movie. I’m staying right here. Next thing I remember is a security guard waking me up to an empty theater and forcing me out the door. Nice. I can’t see. I can’t even stand. I have no idea where my friends are. Time to take another break right there on the sidewalk. After however long I sleep there, I get up and start to stumble my way home. Not a bad walk. About 4 blocks or so. In the middle of the walk I cross a huge parking lot and think to myself, this is a good time to take another break. I drop in the middle of the lot and fall asleep again. Wake up after god knows how long and walk the rest of the way home straight into bed. I wonder what we’re doing tonight.

Here’s a nice pic of Hurricane Frances before it tore into Florida. Check out the 6 MB image out on that one if you can. Here’s another one of Hurricane Ivan forming behind Frances. Pretty neat stuff if you ask me.

There was no doubt about it. I absolutely needed to take today off and I did. My body is red. I mean red red. It hurts to move it any which way possible. It’s bad enough to the point where I just can’t function. Fun stuff I tell you. I’ve been sitting around all day trying to beat the video games I haven’t played in a while. I’m telling ya. God is mad at me. He’s mad because I ripped into his stupid The Passion of the Christ film month ago and don’t plan on buying the DVD. That’s fine. I think I’ll go pick up GoodFellas SE and NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup instead.

I am officially sunburned and very very badly. I’m having the gf reapply aloe vera to my body every hour to keep myself cool and the pain away. Dear god. Why have you forsaken me?! This hurts so damn much!!! Hmm. Maybe I’ll put up pics.

Smell that? Yup. Football season is definitely here. Pro ball isn’t for another week and a half, but that’s ok. Why? College ball started today and it started with USC eking out a win against VT. Yeah, they got the win, but they’re gonna have to do it in a way more convincing fashion from now on if they even want to think about a national championship. This is, after all, Pac-10 ball.

I’ll probably put together a pick’em league sometime this week just like I have the last 2 years, so look out for that.

Passed my MSF course today. In the words of Napoleon Dynamite, “Do the chickens have large talons?” Err, I mean, “Yesssssss!!!” That means I just have to wait my 2 weeks to get my certification in the mail and take it to the DMV to get my license. I smell like gas and I’m way tired so I think I’m staying in and watching the Olympics. Does anyone else think Carly Patterson is freakin’ cute?

Having read about them a while back, I finally saw a pair of Bumper Nuts on a Chevy S10 Xtreme today on the freeway. I couldn’t get a good shot with my camera phone, though. Oh well. At least I know they really exist now.

The gf asked me some strange question out of nowhere today. If I could own and operate any kind of store I wanted, what would it be? My answer was quick. Comics, video games, and collector toys. Why? Well, because I’d get first pick at any of the shipments for one. The other would be to get first pick at any shipments. I’m sure there are more reasons out there, but my headache isn’t letting me think right now. Her response was a something like an coffee shop/art gallery/social thingy where bands could play and artists could show and sell their work. I have to admit, that sounds pretty good too, but I’d get pissed off at all the kids coming in because of how “trendy” it would be. What kind of store would you want to own and operate?

Last weekend when I did the first part of my course, they supplied us with the helmets and motorcycles. As you would think, they were in pretty piss poor condition. There are two riding classes on Saturdays. A morning and evening. I had the evening class, so that means I wore a helmet that had been worn for several hours before me. It was, to say the least, nasty. Nasty enough to give me a good breakout on my forehead and cheeks. Well, I bought a helmet yesterday and that should solve that problem. I was set on getting an HJC AC-11 but the bastards at the shop convinced me to spend $200 more on a Shoei RF-1000. I guess you can’t spend enough when it comes to your mellon.

Two clips from AvP.
