Feh. This weekend was crap. All of my friends suck. I swear, they're all old people who have to be in bed by 5:00. To be fair, there was a Spurs game this weekend. SA is always nuts in the days around a game. The whole city seems hung over for a few days. And in that vein...God damn Mavs.
Yes, exactly! When you have a cast that includes Jennifer Connely and fucking Nick Nolte, you don't waste them on 2 hours of senseless smashing scenes.
So where was I? Oh yeah, going to hell. (That's the last time I write a journal entry after reading the complete Transmetropolitan.)
I saw V for Vendetta. Eh. It was a well made movie, but I wasn't swayed by the whole "destruction of symbols" speech. After one speech, V manages to organize a huge non-violent protest. Then a building has to explode.
So A and I invented something new. The "Going to hell high five." What is that you ask? It's a high five you exchange with someone when you say/do/think something which will earn you a spot in hell.
For example...upon reading the headline "Miss Deaf USA hit by train." You know the moment when you hear that snicker in your head which you won't admit... Read More
Earls Abel's is closing! This is a sad, sad, day. For those of you not from San Antonio, Earl Abel's is this fried chicken place that is much beloved. I can trace quite a bit of my childhood obseity to that place! Oh well. It wouldn't even be so bad, but the reason is that they're closing is that they got an offer from a... Read More
I echo what AlexStar said. When I see what became of the cowslip-filled fields I used to play on as a kid it makes me really sad. I know change happens but when it's something attractive or with an interesting history and it's replaced by something anodyne like another dull, featureless building, or buildings ...
Finally had some fun this weekend. I got together with the old gang. Sure, it wasn't my old gang, but it still counts. We went out to an okay bar and club and arrived at another three or four years too late.
I was dumb, though. D and Subi start ordering these fruity drinks. (I swear one of them had a salad in it.) My... Read More
Cool! Someone who didn't know the source of all those gags & visual quotes. Can be fun being with someone who is seeing where it all came from for the first time though.
So.... you don't know me, but I read on an old but newly resurected thread that you quoted a Kevin Smith movie. Not to be a schmo, but I just started a new group about the View Askew world. Stop by and check us out.
So what's up with me? My diet isn't going as well as I have hoped, but I'm still losing. I think I've gone from fat to just chunky. (I have some serious body image issues. That this realization has sunk in is a big step for me. Now I just can't get cocky.)
I try to think of something big and insightful everytime I update,... Read More
