I’m really tired today, it’s cool and drizzly out. corwin75Steve and I agree that it would be the perfect day to have stayed curled up in bed at home. Good thing we both resisted that urge, as we are the only two in the office so far. To be honest, I think it’s more the perfect day to open all the windows in the computer room and play Temple of Elemental Evil. If it came to a little thunder and heavy downpour, it’d be a nice mood for the game.

Speaking of ToEE, I’m excited to hear that Atari is actually going to release a patch for it. Now if they just fix Haste (unlike the player made patch) I’ll be exstatic.


I did Very little this weekend, really laid back and took it easy.

Friday we had movie night. Had a good crowd. I don’t think Hard Boiled was as appreciated as Bad Taste, but everyone seemed to have a good time. I’m not sure what I’m going to watch next week, but Craig did remind me that the original intent was for me to pick a movie that I wanted to watch and just let people know so they could come and watch it if they wanted. That would really releive stress on me if that were the case. I’m just too concerned with the happiness of others I guess. I’m going to think on what I want to watch next week (10/17). After the movie, we played a bit of Heroes, but I think everyone was a bit too tired to fully enjoy it. I was definitely too tired to be courteous and start a new character. I should have done that guys, I’m sorry. It wasn’t fair for me to be that much higher level.

Saturday I intended to stay home all day and play Temple, except for 3:00 when I was going to go to Meghan’s birthday party. Instead, HeatherEJCHeather and I went to Goodwill and shopped around a bit, headed over to Gray and Fancy’s for Meghan’s birthday, and then headed down to Best Buy to get 2 Fast 2 Furious and the Underworld soundtrack. At the exit we noticed that Warehouse Music is going out of business and the enitre store was 20-30% off (I didn’t see a single thing that was actually 30% off). We decided we’d make a quick stop in there and see what they had to offer. Looking at their regular prices on new CDs and DVDs made me realize why they’re going out of business. Who in their right mind is going to pay $20+ for a new CD and $25+ for a new DVD. Sheesh. Even at 20% off, their stuff was more expensive than pretty much any other store (except maybe Virgin Megastore). Their used prices however were much more acceptable. CDs for $10 or less and DVDs for $15 or less, and then 20% off that. I got two DVDs and a CD for $23 and Heather got the same for $21. Like a dumbass, I still went to Best Buy and bought my movie and soundtrack for $30. Now my monthly allowance is half gone before the first week of the month is even over.

Sunday I finally sat down and played ToEE. Spent most of the day playing and then watched Trading Spaces $100,000. Not a bad episode. I don’t think it really needed to be 2 hours long, but hey, it was fun. After that, Heather and I spent some good, quality time alone together. We’ll just leave it at that.


so now it’s Monday and I’m gonna sit back and make everything I can of it.

OKay, it’s Thursday and movie night is tomorrow. Per Brandon’s suggestion I rolled the scatergories die. It game up H so I think we’re going to go with Hard Boiled. If people decide tomorrow night that they want to see something else, I’m fine with that, but that’s what’s currently on the menu.

Speaking of menus be sure to bring your favorite snack food and think about bringing enough for everyone. It’s like pot luck movie snacks!

I press play at 8:00

Anyone have a suggestion for this Friday’s movie night? I’m not opposed to renting or watching someone elses DVD. I’m just coming up short. So far all I’ve come up with is “O Brother Where Art Thou” or “Mystery Men.” I’d rather do something slightly less mainstream like “Six String Samauri” but I don’t know if we’re really ready for that one.

So tonight we’re watching The Emperor’s New Groove. I think after the movie, I’m going to suggest making the next movie night next week and then every other week after that. We really enjoyed having Craig and Laura there and they’re now involved in something that meets every other Friday, on a cycle that presently conflicts with the movie night. By moving it off a week, we’ll be able to have them back again. Also, I think some other people may be able to show up as well. Maybe we can even rope Mike and Keri into showing up, too. Who knows.

I really want to watch Amelie at the next movie night, but people don’t seem to want to read a movie. I’ve also been toying with Six String Samaurai. Then again, maybe we’ll just go with the same method we used this time, rolling the Scatergories die.

I went to the bathroom and one of the toilets was missing. I mean the whole thing was gone, including the floor and wall around it. What does it say about me when the first thing I think is “I hope they don’t try to take the other one while I’m using it.”

Brandon and his girlfriend came over last night and bought us pizza. He’s the best nephew I’ve ever had. We watched Léon and generally just hung out. I couldn’t believe he hadn’t seen it before. I mean, come on! It’s Léon! Anyway, it was a good time, I really enjoy his company and he seems to really enjoy hanging out with us and watching movies.

Well, things are going pretty well right now. The movie night last night went better than expected. We had a fair number of people show up and had a good old time watching the movie. Most everyone was impressed by the movie in one way or another. Laura said “Oh… …Mygod!” more times than I even expected, and ErezethJeremy actually raised his hands in triumph in the middle declaring it the “Best Movie Ever.” Even VishvakarmanBen has put it close on par with Leprechaun 4: In Space which is a pretty high regard in his world. We hung out for a few hours after the movie, trying to decide what we were going to watch next time. I’m thinking we’re going to watch Emperor’s New Groove so that some people who were not willing to degrade themselves with Bad Taste, can participate. Now this doesn’t mean I’m going to keep the cinematic quality this high all the time, I’m probably going to keep the movies varried and rather unexpected. I’m even going to toy around with trying to rent stuff too so that we’re not limited to my movies only.
