Ah, gotta blog about tonight, because tonight was a good night.
I’m back home for the weekend, so I can visit with family and go to a music festival (most of saturday). I’ll also be asked over two dozen times how college is.
The answer is that it isn’t all that different. I don’t know, maybe its just me, but college doesn’t phase me much. I sleep, eat, and live in a new place now. k.
It would probably be a lot different if I didn’t know so many people there, but I do, so why not make the most of it?
So, tonight I get back home, the dog and family are all happy to see me. After dinner (Fong’s) its straight to Java. I talked to a bunch of folks earlier in the week, to see who’d be around. We had quite a crowd, considering people were leaving for school left and right.
I arrive, and I’m the first one there. I grab my XTREME CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE and go to sit with robbie taylor, who has randomly been at java the last couple times I have. He’s playing chess against some girl. He introduced her to me, but I didn’t catch her name. It was loud, and I was waiting on my milkshake a couple feet away. They play chess, I help each side not make crappy moves. Some time later, Jack shows up, and we move to the back of java.
Jack has his laptop with him, in an uber case which seems incomplete without handcuffs. I think its bulletproof. We’ll need to test that sometime.
Anywise, we play around on the javapalooza wireless network, which was just as sketchy if not more than the time I brought Cassidy there.
We manage to get online for a few seconds, but without internet we just use it for Pinball and Minesweeper.
Morello, Scott, Dave Carta, Craig Dennis, and Rob (after that girl left, I assume) all join our table in turn. Java randomness ensues. I see a bunch of folk I know from MHS (who are seniors now, I guess). I guess they’ll be replacing us as the regulars. Maybe not, whatever. At some point I ask Rob who that girl was, and he tells me its joanna. I was kinda pissed by this, but I’m not really sure why. So I guess I’ve technically met her, but I totally didn’t know I met her. Bah. Also, deedee never showed up. I thought she would, but apparently theres something going on between her and scott. I dunno, I haven’t seen deedee in a long time, and she’s even gone on a road trip in the time that I haven’t seen her. Not a Juan Way scale trip, but its still a road trip. Oh well, those were the only two things that bummed me out tonight.
At some point I mention that Transporter 2 is out today, and that I had meant to go see it. I hadn’t seen the first one, but had heard good things. Jack has the DVD at his house, and he has a laptop with a DVD drive with him. We run back to his house, grab the DVD, head back to java, and watch as much as we can before we need to take off for the movie. Only Jack, Rob, and I actually watch the movie, but thats probably for the better. I don’t know if we could have fit anyone else on that bench.
We turn the subtitles on, because we can’t really hear the laptop’s speakers over the music and people in java. People start to leave while we’re watching it, which kinda sucks, but the movie is good, so I guess that cancels out?
I dunno how that works.
In the end its just Jack and I left, and his battery starts to die about 5 minutes before we were going to leave for the theater. We knew we weren’t going to finish the movie, but we were planning to watch what we could on the walk down to Destinta, and even as we were buying our tickets. It would have been fun to explain that we were watching the first one as we got in line to see the second.
Transporter 2 was loaded with ridiculousness. If there was one word to describe this movie, it would be ‘awesome.’ But more in the 80s teenager sense of the word, instead of the dictionary definition. We determined that the main character has to do a certain amount of stunts to keep his ridiculous card, such as riding on the top of an elevator instead of inside it. There are obviously lots of other examples, but that is most of the movie.
The Ridiculous Card reminded me of the Crazy Test for some reason. More on that another time, I think.
Alright, its getting close to 2 and I think I’m going to go to bed.
