Mean Girls and high school stories

Image
Last night we went to see Mean Girls. It was written by Tina Fey, and I had heard good things about it. I wasn't disappointed. Anyway, afterwards, we went to the Burren to a few pints, and we started telling all the fucked up stories from high school. You know, the ones you and all your friends reminisce about when you see each other. The one that was the most disturbing was the one Ryan told about his history teacher in Hawaii who was totally whacked. He was in Nam and apparently he had gotten some sort of intestinal worms while he was there. He was still dealing with them when he was teaching at Ryan's school. So one day, a group of students were talking to him after class, and noticed some weird photos on the podium. Someone asked what they were and he said, "You wanna see what I did all summer?" They turned out to be pictures of worms coming out of his butt.

Basketball on the PS2

I bought a a PlayStation2 several years ago to be my DVD player and a game console. I only have a few games, and I hardly play it, (I'm still on the 3rd mission in Grand Theft Auto III if that is any indication), but every once in awhile, I'll play some games. My wife, for x-mas got me NHL Hockey 2004, but she doesn't like to play it much cuz I kick her ass. Kelly's a huge Lakers fan, so a month ago, I got NBA Live 2004, so we could all play, and Kelly would be interested. I had to promise to let her always play the Lakers. So far she likes it, but she says she's already losing interest in it... :( Anyway, last night my friends Denis and Ryan came over for some beers and a little b-ball. Good fun. We did a little round robin tournament, basically just practicing. Ryan doesn't know all the moves yet, and we still don't know how to take full advantage, but we're getting bettter. The soundtrack is really cool. All hip hop. I don't watch a lot

Hollywood Vampyr (2002)

Image
A few years ago, when my sister was working in the film industry, she worked on a film called Hollywood Vampyr . She was on the crew, doing production work, but at some point, she took the place of another actress and played a role in the movie. I had forgotten about it, and my sister never talks about it (I don't think it was suppose to be all that great), but at her wedding recently, I met a women who worked with her on the film, so that dusted off the cobwebs. She told me I could rent the movie on Netflixs, but I did a search and could not find it. I ended up doing a google search, and it directed to me Amazon.com, where I just bought a new copy from some vendor. I thought the movie was just a regular vampyre movie, but apparently the movie is a docudrama about the vampyre/goth underground in LA. Jen, told me a story of the time she had to take a vampyre/goth home after a day of shooting the film. His car was busted or something. During the ride, he went into detail ab

Mmmmm Espresso

Image
A few weeks ago, I finally took the plunge and bought a home espresso machine. I've always been a little hesitant to buy one just because in all the research I've done in the past it seems every machine breaks frequently, they make sucky coffee, and/or they are just pretty pricey. Well, I said fuck it, and bought one on impulse when we were at Macy's a few weeks ago. It's the Saeco Classico . It was $350, but I got a 15% discount for opening a Macy's account. Some impressions: * It's pretty noisy when you're frothing the milk. * It takes about 2 minutes or so to froth the milk up to 140 degrees (F). You have to stand there and do it, so it's pretty labour intensive as far as making coffee goes. * It comes with a "pod" adapter and a few "pods" of coffee which we used. I like the option of being able to use pods. * It has a cup warmer on the top, but it doesn't really warm anything. * It can be pretty messy wit

My sister got married

Well, we went to LA to marry off my sister. It went off without a hitch. Her old man is Jim, a nice guy, couldn't be happier for the both of them. I wish them both the best.
