My best friend's dad pretty much put me in charge of dealing with this, and more behind the hay bale, on the 4th of July. Not to mention anything we did during the day or Friday night.... It was EPIC. Also, Rock Band for the first time. I tried out all three parts. Fun stuff. -CF

I was scheduled to work tonight at the theater from 5 to close (~11:30). (This is the worst shift, IMO.) My co-worker couldn't come in for her 8 AM shift until 12 (watching her brother at home) so I offered to fill in for her until she came at 12. (So I arrive at 8 to open.) Great! [Aside from waking up way too early] I thought I'd be able to get a few more hours of pay in and get overtime! 44 hours this week! Woot! That's the most so far. So today, right as I was about to leave at noon, when she came in, my managers realized that I was going to be getting overtime. So...they told me that I didn't have to work tonight. I complained a little about pay and "yay overtime" and whatnot, but corporate doesn't want to cooperate (probably a rule because of the recession or whatnot) and I was simply told I didn't have to show up tonight. On the upside, I've been enjoying my day so far, I'm about to go outside and take some MOC pictures, and I'm seeing Public Enemies with my [best] friend tonight, so you know, I don't absolutely lose. But losing 6 hours of pay means I won't be buying nachos tonight (at employee discount), that's for sure (disregarding everything I say about why buying anything behind concession is bad). (Also disregarding my streak of not buying anything from there out of spite.) -CF

Or maybe Marshmallows? Either way, I'd love to just toss that phrase out there for the lulz. Youth Group did Lightwriting tonight! It was so cool! Also, RIP: Billy Mays doesn't have lungs. He has sub-woofers. Oh, and I've been doing a lot of System building lately, since I have a display in July with my LEGO Store. (Then I'll get doing some Bionicle stuff I've barely touched since college started!) -CF

This has been bugging me for a few months now but I just can't figure out how to put it into a blog entry so I'll simply write a non-sequitur of my feeling and maybe you're responses will help me write out something: Why does it seem like trying to have friendships with the opposite gender feels/looks like courtship unless it is establish (in some form or another) that it isn't and won't be? (Ok, glad to see I'm not just going crazy(ier).) -CF

I won't be on too much this next week, as my grandpa is in town (from Milwaukee) and his "bedroom" is the family room (couch) and the cord to the internet is also down here in the family room. At the very least I don't expect to be on past 10, but hopefully I can play some quick catch up before work in the morning...assuming he gets up early. He won't be here Saturday night, though, and maybe not Friday night either, so I'll have my chances. Luckily I have a few entries in draft, so I can just get on and make them public. Also, I can always just refresh my Ambassador entry, of which I would still love some testimonials, assuming you think I'd make a good Ambassador... So yeah, cya around... -CF

The other day I saw a commercial for a new TV series coming in the fall. Something about vampire romance. All I could think was "oh no, it's like Twilight for the television." Twilight is taking over the world's (or at least America's) view on vampires. No longer are vampires cool, dark, mysterious and feared. Now...they're whatever Twilight makes them out to be. Harry Potter had a werewolf. Maybe if the next teacher was a vampire this whole conspiracy would be different... Talk to your kids about vampires, before Twilight talks to them. -CF

Is my hometown the place where I am born/have lived most of my life (my house I am in right now) or the place where I consider home to be (which is seeming to be school more and more each day)? -CF

Borders Books and Music store emailed me a 30% off coupon today! Yay, I wanted to buy the Serenity soundtrack, but being the college kid I am (and now that I'm used to Borders coupons appearing in my inbox once a week) I wanted to wait for a sale. So I called to my local Borders, and they say they didn't have it. Alright, that has happened before. I simply ask them to order it for me and I'll swing by the store in a few days when it arrives, no sweat, I'll use my coupon then. Unfortunately, they say it does not work like that anymore. I'd be paying for it now (over the phone or through Borders.com) and I would not be able to use my coupon, as it is "in store only." I say I don't feel like doing that, and I'll just try Tysons (as Borders.com says that store has it). I ended up driving out to Pentagon City as it was closer, but I don't think I'll be going back there as parking is a pain. (Ug parking meters. Luckily the one I chose still had 30 minutes on it.) Or is this just because the CD is not "new"? But it's not that old. They won't exactly be loosing money if I didn't pick it up. tl;dr Borders' new system sucks. Might lose business from me. -CF (Listening to Serenity soundtrack.)

If you have seen Wolverine, I hope you stayed after. If not, read on. If you haven't seen it yet, now would be a good time to get out. Anyway, at the theater today I was cleaning up Wolverine so I got to see the end of the credits again. But instead of seeing what I saw last time, I saw a different after-credit scene! Read on: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Last time I saw Deadpool, mouth sewings broken, whisper "ssshhhh" after having his sword drawn into his arm and crawl to his head. This time, however, I saw Logan drinking at a [Japanese] bar, "drinking to remember." *chills up spine* Wikipedia proves futile on any other info on what happened. (Unlike with Iron Man.) Did anyone else see any other after-credit endings? -CF

Oops, two entries in one day... Today, May 16th, is Spam's 72nd anniversary! You know, Hormel's interesting "meat" product... Enjoy! -CF

Yesterday I saw Monsters Vs. Aliens! VERY funny movie! In 3D! For free! With my two best friends! Here's the best part: We were the only ones in the theater!!! This happened to Omi once as well. And, just like him, we were able to "talk" during the movie. You know, make jokes here and there and whatnot. Anyway, the movie was great, just as my friends had said, and having the theater to ourselves just made it all the more fun. (I wish we could do it again for other movies. Like, see a very late night show as the movie ends its run. Like, see Star Trek, be the only ones there, and shout "red shirt" whenever we see one. IDK, it was fun.) -CF

I was going to write an entry on the differenced in definition for "geek," "nerd," and "dork," all in very loving ways that do not degrade anybody, but first I want your definitions, because I believe that it is greatly the opinion of everyone to make those definitions, as I have encountered many different uses. So, define away, please! -CF

You know how your parents probably prefer vinyl records over CD's? I feel I'm the same way towards CD's maybe, preferring to buy the CD instead of downloading it. I like having the CD, album art, case and whatnot. I brought my small stereo and CD rack to college, but now that I'm back I realized I didn't use it all that often. I used my computer for most of my music listening. In realization, I don't really need my stereo next year if I don't want to. It would save space, along with the lack of CD rack. Now, if I don't really use my CD player anymore, at least while at school, then why don't I download songs as well. Aren't albums something like $10 each, instead of the $15-$20 I'd pay at Borders? Or I can download a bunch of songs from various albums and not worry about the whole thing. (And then burn them to CD?) But again, I like actually having the CD, even though times are changing. Maybe I'll have to try it eventually, but for now I think I'll stick to sales at Borders. -CF

I'm happy with myself for not holding grudges. If something happens, I get past it instead of holding it against someone. But I'm finding it really hard to forgive a "friend" (hangs out in the same group as I do, for all extensive purposes) as she constantly can not accept me for the person I am (geeky, etc) and seems to want to "change" or "fix" me or make me "normal." She's very condescending and always thinks she's right (even when she acknowledges something else is better). I'm just happy I don't have to worry about her until end-August, aside from online stuff. Oh, and this is the person that wouldn't let me borrow her camera so I could take some Lego pix. *sigh* -CF QotD: Normal is only a setting on a washing machine.

Saw it at midnight last night!!! (My first midnight showing ever.) (Would have told you yesterday before I left but I had more important things to blog about.) It was awesome!!! Wolverine was great, as expected. Gambit was as awesome as ever. Lots of other cool bits as well. They did a really good job at developing Wolverine's character, making it a real origin story. Stay after the credits. Trust me. Shall I say more? Alright, spoilers: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Cool opening with invading the diamond dealers. Emphasis on Deadpool and his swords and Agent Zero and his magazine switchout. Yay for Scott Summers and Xavier. The diamond girl was cool too. I didn't know that Wolverine and Sabertooth were brothers, nor were they so old, nor that Sabertooth has some sort of healing power as s well. The beginning was cool with them going through the various wars. (Granted, the movies aren't canon, but I assume they did as much as they could to keep with the comic storyline.) Mmm, I think that's it for now. -CF

Didn't get online Friday night upon returning home. Moving out was exhausting! (I went to bed at 10:30!) Didn't go white water rafting on Saturday either. The river was 8 feet high and it needed to be 4 feet to be safe. Doubt I'll get to go when they reschedule since it will be hard to get a weekend-day off of work. Didn't go to WAMALUG either unfortunately because I had to do some yard work that "couldn't wait." Too bad too, because I have to MOC some Space stuff for a display and I have some pieces to pick up. (8 black viking horns!) Did get to see my best friend for a few hours and show him and my family Firefly (or at least the first episode). He enjoyed it, I'm pretty sure, but my parents want a few more episodes to decide if it really is a great series. Hopefully they'll be convinced. Speaking of parents, being back home, and rules and whatnot, I left the house at about midnight when they were in bed so I could drive my friend home! And not a word from them in doing so! So maybe they were asleep...IDK, but that would be perfectly normal at college so it'll be interesting how things go for the next few months. -CF
