The past few days

Well, before Ryan and Eric came over Wednesday, I had filled out an application for Best Buy online and also filled one out for Showcase, which I had to actually go turn in myself...lame.

When they came over we actually busted out some of the board games...Star Wars Monopoly and Star Wars Trivial Pursuit. I must say that playing monopoly with only 3 people isn't quite as fun as it could be with all 8 pieces on the board since that's alot of revenue being made with passing Go, drawing cards, etc. Trivial Pursuit wasn't that hard, but came off harder than before because it has been many months since I've seen the original Star Wars trilogy. Not to mention, now we have a fun little thing we do when need be and it hails from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back I'm saving that up for September 21, assuming school doesn't get in the way. We also watched Reservoir Dogs, one of the best films ever by none other than the man himself, Quentin Tarantino. Wagons East! was pretty good, but unfortunately fat comedians tend to do westerns before they decide to croak like John Candy in this and Chris Farley in Almost Heroes. God damn yous!

Then Friday night we decided to go see Fahrenheit 9/11, which probably would've actually had more impact on me had I been more involved, politically. Why I've never been very politically involved is because 1) I hardly ever watch/read/listen to the news 2) I seemed to be one of the only people who didn't have any kind of politically-oriented SEAP 3) My 18th birthday was this past year actually giving me a purpose i.e. voting 4) Politics tend to bore me, but I'll probably have to get past that. I've seen Bowling for Columbine by Michael Moore and found that to be a very good flick, which gave me more grounds as to why to see this movie. Had Bowling for Columbine been 100% uncut crap, I probably wouldn't have even taken notice of this movie.

(9 hours later...) Sry, I've had this post up since about 8:00 pm Saturday, but got so into online poker I never finished writing it.

This new Pacific Poker thing Eric showed was pretty crazy. You can either play with fake money or have the option to play with real freakin' money. Furthest I got was 52nd out of around 700 or 800 people...I can't remember, but it was a huge group. Texas Hold 'Em style. Although I don't watch many sports other than baseball, I like watching the "inside" sports. I watch most Billiards games that are on, I've seen a few dart competitions, the World Series of Poker has been these past couple weeks and I've watched many other poker things on ESPN...now all they need are ping-pong, air hockey, and foosball.

As for the poker thing, I'm cool with it now that I know for sure the proper deck is in usage. Just point me where and tell me when.

I think that about covers everything.
