The Democratic Race...(semi-short rant)

Hillary needs to give up. This constant bickering that she will get the nomination is pointless. All it will do is splinter the party which will hurt their chances to get to the white house. Although it does show some flaws in the system, the fact that these so called 'Super Delegates' can vote for whoever and it is not based upon the people is a joke. Isn't democracy all about power to the people? Or is it power to whiners?

'You parked next to the idiots with the Swords...'

Only in Everett do you see people running around a parking lot with Katanas...or people stealing the cardboad 'Wall-e' display...(I am looking at you Sizzle). Its been a slow week over here. Didn't do much for the Holiday weekend, SkiDragon was in town and it was fun hanging out with him. Other than that, dealing with some issues with 'Tree', but hopefully things will work out. Looks like no midnight movie this week, nothing good is coming out. Not even something I would go to on a date...

Summer league has started for Hockey and so far we are 0-2...yikes. I did actually score a goal last night, which is a rare thing. Maybe I will actually get on the scoresheet this year. Who knows. Anyway, got to get back to work, I can't blog all day like somepeople...

Indiana Jones returned...

Last night I did see Indiana Jones. Overall I thought it was good, for the first half or so but the end didn't fit the movie or the Indiana Jones universe. During the movie, the action was a bit more cartoon-ish than normal, but that was not a bad thing. The ending just left you going 'What?'. I felt like it had a bit of an X-files/Close encounters of the third kind feel to it. Others that went with me shared the same feeling. Harrison Ford did a good job, he seemed aged, but still could pull off the action sequences. Pity there was no Sean Connery cameo.

Midnight Movies...Episode 3...Revenge of the Fedora?

Yep tonight, Indian Jones returns to the big screen. I will be there with the usual movie crew, hopefully it lives up to its high expecatations. We were going to see it at the Drive In (Yes, there is one still around). Should be funtimes, catching dinner with 'Tree' beforehand. I know of a nice little Sushi spot in Everett.

Holy cryptic messages batman!

I love people. I do love when two very good friends are fighting about something but won't tell you a damn thing. I also love when you get the message to 'To back off'...about what, who knows. She told me that out of the blue, and she was in tears when she said it...(For those of you keeping score, like princess kitten, hyper chick said that). Argh, this is when people can be annoying...

And now for something un-expected!

Narnia II recap

So I did see Narnia II last night. All I can say is confusion and softcore Lord Of The Rings. I hadn't seen the first one which cause the confusion. That was okay, 'Tree' hadn't seen it either, so we were both equally confused. Otherwise the movie seemed like a simplified and Disney-ified Lord Of The Rings. Overall it was okay, a rental for those of you on the fence about it.

Midnight Movies...Episode 2

Since summer is nearly here, that means Hollywood is starting to release some good films. As usual my friends like to see these films at midnight. They must think seeing movies at normal people times, or the after-dinner-on-a-date time is lame. Or better yet, not really have anything better to do at night. But I digress, its a good movie crew, varied opinions...maybe I should have the rest guest blog about the movie...

So the second midnight movie in this summer season ( Speed Racer was the first ), will be the Chronicles of Narnia II. Yes, thats how excited I am for the movie, I don't even know the full name (Nor did I see the first). I'll post a full review/recap/rant depending on how it is. I knew having Fridays off would be good, I can do stuff like this...or start a Thursday night party trend...

SIDE NOTE: Blogger fixing my poor HTML skills good :)

Go Speed Racer?

Since alot of people seem to weighing in on this movie, I'll give my take. I thought it was good. I judge movies on a 'look at my watch scale', meaning whether it entertained me. Speed Racer had a typical story, with the usual plot points, but it was still fun. The visuals were impressive. Some call them meant for a 5 year old, but remember, it was based off a cartoon. It gave it a certain atmosphere. I would recommend seeing it, but I guess I am in the minority on that one.

After the movie, was fun. Got to hang out and play Guitar Hero till 4AM...always good times. The rest of the weekend was uneventful. Mother's day I worked, and my parents did something. So today I took my mom out for lunch. Other than that, not too much exciting happened in Mike land.

The Sunday - Thursday diet

That’s my new work schedule...unlike most of my friends, it does not change. Just another day at the office around here. It feels odd to 'Sleep in'. Most of the time when I have worked, it’s been start at 6 or 8AM. The fact that I sleep in till 8AM just feels odd to me. I'll get used to it. Just means I stay out later the night before. Although the lunch at 1PM will take some getting used to...

Outside of work, things have been interesting as usual. I did take some advice from readers like Princess Kitten and Mattbear (I also will be spellchecking this one...) and not really talking to one of the girls. As a result, some random girl off MySpace really is into me. Epic confusion to follow...she seems a bit...odd.

Well I hear the phones ringing again, and its near lunch time...I have a feeling I got a long call coming up before lunch...
