Took The Day Off
I had a little business to attend to this morning, so I figured it was a perfect opportunity to burn a personal day and have a three day weekend. Unfortunately for me, the weather sucks today, rain, and my personal business involved getting my car looked at for a damage estimate. No, I wasn't in an accident. This was done out of my own stupidity and laziness, but lesson learned, you know? My parents are currently in the middle of having our driveway completely redone. So, they've had to tear up the old one and lay down this rock stuff in the interim. So with no pavement, the stone blocks that line the driveway are higher than usual. The front end of my car is extremely low to the ground due to added ground effects or front skirts or whatever the hell they're called that came standard with my car because I got the sportiest model.
My younger brother Mark and I were going to the movies on Saturday night to see Wedding Crashers. We get outside and his truck is in the street and I see that my mom's car is blocking me. I told him he was driving, he said he had no gas. We see that there is plenty of room between my moms car and mine, so that if I pulled forward enough, I could back around hers. So I did so, but in pulling forward got my front bumper stuck on the paving blocks and when I backed out, it kind of ripped the bumper off whatever was holding it down. So, out of sheer laziness and stupidity, I had to get my car looked at this morning. The guy said the main part of the bumper didn't need to be replaced, but there was a second, smaller section attached to the bottom that would be, along with where they both screwed into the car in the wheel well. He said he'd get back to me later with a price, which I'm expecting to be around $500, which sucks, but oh well. Expensive lesson to learn.
So ultimately Mark drove to the movie theatre anyway, and we get there and the movie is sold out. The only other movie that we even had any remote interest in seeing that wasn't sold out was Mr. & Mrs. Smith, so we so that, and damn it was good. Very funny, lots of action and there is no denying the chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. And let me just say, Ms. Jolie is hot as hell. There are no words to describe her beauty. If she wasn't so messed in the head I'd say she's the perfect woman. But anyway.
The rest of the weekend continued to have a feeling of blah around it, as I explained Friday. Had my guitar lesson and my teacher said my Jimmy Eat World song was good and we progressed into some chord theory and tone scales. Not fun stuff, but again, necessary to learn. I also went to see War of the Worlds on Sunday with Randy, as he had movie passes that were going to expire at the end of the month and could only be used on movies that had been in the theaters for more than 10 days, so again, that was our only option. It was OK, the ending was retarded as all hell though. I just didn't see what the big deal was about it. The special effects were cool, but thats about it.
And I also managed to read the entire sixth Harry Potter book over the weekend, which had a very depressing ending, major character death and betrayal and all that stuff. So it did little to improve on my mood. But it was good nonetheless. Now I just have to wait another two years or so for the final installment. Can't wait!
And damn, I just really need the end of August to get here already, I mean seriously. I'm bored. Someone, please, anyone, just give me something to do!!!

Guess it just goes to prove that no one is perfect. Here we have quite possibly the most beautiful woman in the world, and she's completely insane.
