Ahh, so it seems I do know someone in California. I had not realized that the Kemps were vacationing there this week. Well, I hope they have a lot of fun while hanging out on the West Coast. Here on the East Coast we are getting a fair amount of rain. There is a funny thing about the rain here. Last night we went to dinner with some friends and they said, "Everytime we eat at Penn Station Subs it rains." Haha, thats funny, yeah right. Well, we ate at Penn Station and today it is raining, wow, that is kind of crazy.
Today is the day folks. In two short hours, The Princess is going to be picking up the van from the rental location, drive it back to the house, and possibly start loading. Although, I hope she does not start with out me. I am not very good at packing. I just put things in a box, fill it up, then tape it shut. It is very possible for items from different rooms to end up in the same box. That being said, I intend to make up for my lack of box packing prowis by lifting heavy objects. Also, I think people from church might stop by and help out as well. My parents will definitly help out, but I am not sure who else will show up. And then we have to feed all of them. Not necisarrily feed them alot, but something, probly pizza. Everyone likes pizza. We have a Little Ceaser's up the road, so that is a quick hit for some Hot 'N Readys. Then, a night on the air matress, half a day of work and we are on our way. Fifteen sweet, sweet hours of driving, which will probly turn into eightteen or twenty hours. Blargh. Another thing, we are not driving straight through, we are making a detour through North Carolina to see some good friends. You would think that it would take us longer, but it is only an additional two hours. So, it is not to much of a detour,crazy I know, you figure going south does not really help you get west, but this time around it does. Then a long day of driving. Followed by arriving and unpacking. Hopefully this will happen around six, but with my complete lack of urgency for this move, it will probly be later.

Hmmmm, someone from California has been reading this? Who do I know from California. Or maybe the questions should be who do I not know from California. BUM BUM BUUMMMMMMM.

Sorry, it is a little slow in the office right now. Hopefully this will not change.

Edit: It has been pointed out to me that the statement should be Whom do I not know from California. Well, now I know that The Shua is reading.

There was some slight miscommunications on my last post. So, I figure that I will straighten them out. S-Town, also known as the bubble, is in fact Searcy. If you know the house that we were living in the last time we were there, well, that is the same house we are going back to. We called the Landlord and he said,"Oh yes, please oh please come back to this house. The last tenents were not so good, please oh please. What you are staying two years, hmmm, let me lower the rent for you." It feels kind of odd to be going back like this. I mean, I have never lived in Searcy without being a student. I am sure that I will be disapointed that the waterfalls are not as large as I remember and that some of the teachers are shorter then the last time I saw them. I have grown up a bit over the past two years. Probably not as much as I think. I am sure it just has to do with the fact that I do not get to goof off as much here. I will write later on today. I always think of things to write about when I am not near my computers.

This is a notice to everyone. On Saturday, August 12, 2006. I and The Princess will be make an appearance in S-town. This will be a one night only performance for me, but The Princess will be making long term arrangments with our landlord. Fear not, I shall again be making an appearance on Friday, September 1, 2006 in order to claim my place beside The Princess on the stage known as S-town. If you are wondering as to the veniue of the one night only performance, do not fret to long. We have managed to acuire our original location.

Oh, and we will gladly accept any assistance with moving into our home. Probably with bribes of pizza or some such dinner like food item.

Movies are nice sometimes. But, if you try and jam fourteen movies into one week, then they become not so nice. Blah, I think I am sick of movies right now. After V for Vendetta I got The Worlds Fastest Indian, Lord of War, Firewall, The Island, The Constant Gardener, and Pride and Prejudice. Maybe now you will understand why I am movied out. These were actually all really good movies. But I LOVED tCG. Fantastic. Not anything like I expected, but fabulous. That being said, I missed Taladega Nights on Friday night. The church was throwing us a Good Bye thingy and we were going to watch it afterwards, but everyone bailed on us. Blah, so we picked up tCG and PaP. Then we were going to try and make the matinee but we were packing and not in the mood for a movie. I think I probly won't see another movie for a while. Or maybe I will. This guy in the office is a fan of some movies that come a book I have been reading. Naturally, he burned the movies for me. Now, don't worry about pirating or anything like taht. These movies were not released in America. They are from Japan. Battle Royal, if you must know. Well, this weekend if the Big Move, and we have started packing. What a great week for all the crazyness, in the office we are down two guys this week, which makes for a lot of fun. One of them is my boss, so I am in charge here, running the show, the big man. Dealing with upset customers is a blast let me tell you. Then the stress of having to move, plus some debt collector guy has a bill that I allegedly never paid, except that I paid it twice already. Grrr, I have to call some people and figure that out. Stupid AT&T. No way am I ever doing busniess with them again. Then I have to close all my accounts here, electric, water, cable. Ok, I guess just those three not so bad, but I do have put in a forwarding address for the post office and contact all our bank/loan people and let them know. Meh, I guess it isn't so bad, I just have the extra stress of work. Over and out.

Wow, it has been a couple of days. This could either be a big ol honkin' entry, or I might just get bored with typing half way through and then have nothing else to say. Well, first I guess I should tell you about The Game. The Game is actually very easy to play. So easy in fact, that you are all already playing it. You lose The Game everytime you remember that you are playing it. At which point, you must notify those around you that you have just lost The Game. See, real simple. The only hard part is trying to not remember that you are playing. Along the same lines, I have been playing RE4 and I beat it about two weeks ago. I was kinda lost on parts of the story line, but that happens when you play the fist of a series and then jump back in four games later. That is one thing I enjoy about newer video games. There can be multiple came story arcs, kind of like in movies. StarWars has several multiple movie story arcs and it was good, very good. Similiar with RE or Mario Brothers or Zelda, you have reocurring characters that bind these stories together. Anyway, I beat it so now I have to move on to something else. I am thinking Online Poker. I play for free so do not worry I have no intentions of going bankrupt or anything.
I bought a laptop yesterday. I have been wanting to buy one for some time know and yesterday I just wanted it badly enough that I went out and bought one. I got it from TigerDirect so it looks like I got a pretty good price for it. No, I am not going to tell you what kind it is. I did look around, but I got antsy and had a spontanious urge so I bought it. I know that I should have waited till after work, called my brother and seen what kind of deal he could make me(he does sales for DELL), but I just couldn't do it. I was going crazy with the lazyness at work and my mind just kept going back to that laptop. So, being the spontanious person I am, I bought it. Heh, I am not very spontanious.
My Parents are out of town this week. They are going to gone for 7 days. Now here is the part where someone might care. They have the double movie pass at Blockbuster. With them out of town, I, being the only in town son, natuurally inherit their pass. HuRah for super movie overdose. Let us see. I have watched FlightPlan, 40 Year Old Virgin(only 10 min.), Kicking And Screaming, Kingdom of Heaven, Running Scared, 16 Blocks, V for Vendetta. I think there was one more, but I can not remember what it was. I might remember it later. FlightPlan was meh, not overly suspensful, but I do not have a child to look after, so maybe some moms thought it was nerve racking. 40 Year Old Virgin, it was the unrated version, the only copy they had at the store. Personally, I have tried to avoid this movie, but The Princess, in her ignorance, thought it might be funny. The first 10 minutes was pretty rough so we turned it off. That is the great part of the deal, I did not have to pay for it. Kicking And Screaming was another meh movie. I think Will Farell(sp?) can be pretty funny. I loved ELF, but this one just did not do it for me. Kingdom of Heaven was really good. It tells a story about the crusades so there is a some violence. Still, I really enjoyed it. A lot. For Running Scared, I in no form, shape, or fashion encourage anyone to see this movie. That said, I liked this movie a fair amount. The only turn off for most, would be the language. I remember a movie from a while ago, Boone Dock Saints, that was very good. It had this grit to it that stuck with you for a couple of days. Running Scared has that same feel. A good guy sort of wins in the end. I think that is what endears me to this movie. The real reason I rented 16 Blocks was because it has Bruce the Willis. It actually reminded me of Bruce's carrier, he use to be big top performance blockbuster and then he ramped down and got all drunk and disorderly, but then he makes a come back and Hurray saves the day, sort of. There are a couple of twist and turns, so it comes out ahead of the curve, but just barely. Again, I am glad I didn't have to pay to see it. Not paying really allows my to enjoy a movie that I would have been pissed if I had paid to see it. :) I liked it, but not paying really movied it up the list. A lot. And Finally, V for Vendetta. I think maybe I have over saturated myself with well told stories this week. I enjoyed the movie, it was good, well thought out, well shot, nice color schemes. Over all, very enjoyable. Not sure what the movies will be up for the rest of the week, but one of the WILL be The Constant Gardener. I am excited about that movie. It is my understanding that it comes from a book. I usually love books that get turned into movies. The Bourne Identity being a favorite book of mine. I love the book so much that I actually hate the movie. There is a bright point for that movie. The movie is sooo far off from the book that the second movie doesn't have anything to do with the book at all. Absolutly nothing, so I was able to really enjoy that second movie and I am fairly confident that I will absolutly love the third one. And this is where I get tired of writing and go off and do something else. Maybe even work.
