Before I go on about my weekend, I was wondering, what would happen if I were to set my email to autoreply to all my emails with a positive response, much like Bruce in Bruce Almighty? Well, I suppose that I would get an awesome rate on my home mortgage (on the home that I don’t own), and with all the penis enlarging drugs I’d get, I should exceed 12 feet, easy.
Anyhow, this 3 day weekend was not unlike most previous, in that it was jam packed with fun events and happenings.
Thursday night Milca and I had sushi with Marissa, who had until recently been in New York for various reasons I’ve already mentioned here before. She’s doing well. Personally, my only observation was that she had lost a lot of weight, which is understandable, given what she just went through. Sushi was fun, and tasty, of course.
Friday night Milca, Marissa, Donavan, the Pookie, Corey, Rancho Cuc-Amanda and I went to see Fahrenheit 9/11. The thater we went to was right next to a book store where Bill Clinton was signing his book, so there were crowds around the block. Luckily, these crowds didn’t affect us getting in the theater, but I’d say that they affected us leaving. The lines in the parking were nasty.
The movie itself was, well, I coudn’t really put a one word description to what it is. Educational? Enlightening? Frightening? Angering? I suppose a bit of each of those, but much more. I heard various things that I had heard before, and many things I hadn’t. My expectations were not met, as I had expected to leave that theater ready to revolt against my homeland. Instead, I was extremely frightened, and had a hat full of questions. It’s really the story of life, for every question you have answered, two more take it’s place. Well, this movie changed the ratio to 3-1. Whatever your views, this movie is a must see. There are those that can’t stand Michael Moore, and won’t see this movie as a result. Not agreeing with someone is one thing, but being completely unwilling to listen to someone you don’t agree with is just plain silly. You need to understand both sides of an argument in order to be able to argue on either side effectively. The only thing I hear from people about Moore is how fat he is, or how he manipulates facts to get people to believe what he does. I’d say what he’s saying is flat out honest. True, there’s a lot of his own opinion in there, but you can discern what his thoughts are and what is fact. The facts speak for themselves.
After the movie we all went to Cantor’s for some grubbin. Had a Monte Cristo, which rocked my socks. Hadn’t seen Donavan in a month full of Sundays, so seeing him was quite nice. It was a breast of fresh air.
Saturday was a day of video games, Vampire character creation, signing up for a gym, working out, and crashing the fuck out. Not much else to say.
Sunday Milca and I went to Lucerne so we could tell Kathy about the engagement. As she was the last one we wanted to tell in person, I was then able to post the last post. Goiod times were had by all in the ashtray that is Lucerne Valley. I pray to God that they leave that place soon.
Brought Shane down with us, who may very well fill that last seat in the Vampire table. I may just have a 5 or 6 person game. Sounds cool by me, I just have to get the particulars together.
And with that, I leave you all. Hope your internet browsing is all you hoped and more. Click one for me.
Oh, and your mom.
