Sleep Time

Well, I worked my day off.  It was alright, at least I didn't have to close.  I'm excited that I only have 5 more days of work until I'm DONE!  Woot!  Well, after work I went to Steak 'n' Shake with some of my buddies who went to our Youth Group meeting that I couldn't go to.  I had a steakburger and a Carmel Turtle shake.  I love that thing, it has so much carmel, and chocolate, and nuts!  I'm never let down by it's delicousness.

I got to play some Lord of the Rings cards with my dad and Drew last night.  It was exciting to get to play cards, since I have conflicting schedules with my dad.  We built block decks and took a stroll down memory lane, all the way back to Fellowship.  Fun was had by all.

I still havn't finished Narnia.  Every time I read it, I get one chapter further, and there's not a whole lot left.

Oh yeah, after watching Fight Club, I decided that it's one of my favorite movies of all time, and that my current life philosophy and general "sieze the day" sort of thinking is somewhere between Fight Club and Dead Poets Society.  Go figure.

Well, I have to work again tomorrow, so hopefully that will go well.  And I really need to go shopping for some school stuff....

Almost at an end!

Oh summer, alas, I knew you well!  Well, after working a lot (lot) at Bob Evans over the summer, I feel like I've learned a lot of good life lessons.  Lesson number one, go to college and get a degree so you don't have to work at Bob Evans.  Number two, do not make a career out of washing dishes.  Number three, drugs will mess up your life.  Those are just a few examples, but really, I feel more connected to people in general.

Only 5 more work days left!

I am extremely excited to go back to school.  Most of my friends are gone or leaving soon, so there's not a whole lot else to do than wish I were back at school already.

I watched the movie Underworld: Evolution and also have been watching parodies of the upcoming Snakes on a Plane on YouTube and Google Videos.  I hadn't seen the first Underworld, so the convoluted, twisting, excessive storyline made little sense to me for about the first hour of the movie.  I finally pieced together enough of the story to understand what was going on, but in the end, it seemed like they just wanted to make up stuff to make another movie.  It wasn't particularly good, and so unless you were a big fan of the first one, I would say that it's a waste of time.  The mythalogical lore stuff about vampires and were-wolves is all interesting, but the action is the only really good part.

My favorite parody of Snakes so far is "Steaks on a Train" which I found while looking around.  There are other notable ones, but I think this one was probably the best I've seen.

I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with my wireless card on my computer to get it working with our network.  I've been having to plug it directly into the router to get it connected, which is a slight inconvenience.  Also, I still don't have my graphics card fully working with it, so Ubuntu still has some kinks to work out.

I'll be back with more random updates, stay tuned....
