peanut butter toast & forearms

Today was a good day, let me put it that way. I got a little bit of stuff done, didn't backslide (no negative progress/increased mess) and had much fun with my friends.

Called Geoff around 2:45, told him to come over. Had a hardcore fast 5 minute shower (at least fast for me, especially to dressed), and then he arrived. We called some people and played with swords for a while, then decided we were going to a matinée of "I, Robot;" however, no-one else could make it. I got $20 of gas, so I have a quarter-tank again.

The movie was pretty good, especially for $6.00. Special effects were excellent, and the personality projection of the robot "Sunny" was very well-rendered. The story was ok, good speculative fiction/sci-fi and a little supsenseful, though the ending seemed a little weak. Action sequences were for the most part very good; they weren't epic/dramatic like LotR or "King Arthur," but good. A different style, not sword-and-sorcery.

Afterwards we decidely to stop by randomly at Laura's. We picked her up and went to my house. I put on some rice, and Geoff made perogies. I got Laura to help me in my unsuccessful attempt to sauté onions. Once the rice was done I found out there was no soy sauce, so I called Val, and she generously offered to give me one of hers. I drove up there and got it immediately, and we soon were having an pretty good dinner (for our skills).

Later, we were watching "Kids in the Hall," and discussing what to do. I suggested watching "Army of Darkness," which Geoff strongly supported. Then we couldn't find it, but Laura came to the rescue with her advanced searching skills. Brad called near the beginning, and came down to watch it with us. It was great fun, full of laughs, incredulity, and nostalgia. The inconsistencies and one-liners in that movie are excellent, and sometimes I think it's deliberately poking fun. I mean, there are so many shots just so you can see where Bruce doesn't have the shotgun, and then he just whips it out of nowhere. I love that movie.

Went over to Brad's afterwards, jammed a little. Talked to Jenna online for a while, and then Brad & I looked for Googlewhacks. He found 3 and I got 2 more. Now I've just been cleaning up the house, eating peanut butter toast (protein) and working on my forearms.

Total Googlewhacks to date: 3
