Yay! Vast tonight!!!!!!

Enough of that. I had a lazy weekend, consisting mostly of sitting in bed reading X-Men. That's just fine with me though. Of course now that my week consists mostly of that too, you'd think I'd get sick of it. How can you get sick of X-Men though...okay, so I probably will at some point but that's why I take really long breaks.

Friday was out Star One marathon!! Yay Star One. In love of our (JRR and I) favorite (and only Space Metal) group...we watched the movies that the songs were based off of. As fun as it would be to watch all the movies...I don't think I could sit through Star Trek IV (the one with the whales) again, so we watched the ones we hadn't seen. It turns out there was a reason that we had never heard of these movies.....

Dark Star (the "spaced out" space ship) - This you think might be promising, it's about 4 guys who go around blowing up planets. Sure it's made in the 70s...and there's 20 minutes of a guy running around chasing an "alien" which looks like a beach ball with chicken feet...of course the alien outsmarts the man and the man eventually shoots the alien, which it turns out was just made of gas. The highlight of the movie was when the ship exploded. We learn that talking a bomb out of blowing up using philosophy only results in them quoting the bible and then exploding with a "Let there be light".

Enemy Mine - This movie dragged on. blah blah blah Dennis Quaid and alien are trapped on planet. They want to kill each other but the meteor showers convince them not to...despite the fact that Dennis Quaid builds all the shelters and the alien guy just sits to the side telling him that it's shit. Right...so...shelter is built of turtle shells, which are meteor proof, but can't withstand pillars falling. Alien gets pregnant, alien dies during birth...Denis Quaid raises child....then there was this useless part with humans using the aliens as slaves capturing child and Dennis Quaid dying(which admittedly was the best part). But he's not dead and goes to rescue the child...and they live happily ever after.

Outland (high noon is space)- Sean Connery vs. drugs, need I say more?

Dune (David Lynch) - So, I was the only one who hadn't seen the old Dune. I thought it was alright except for the whole sound weapon thing, and Sting is lame.

That has been Kim's movie review, thank you and goodnight.

Now that I've enjoyed my week of freedom, it's time to once again enter the job hunt. I've scheduled an interview with a temp agency for next Tuesday. I don't really know what to expect from that. I can hope that um...I can be employed and keep my pride intact. For some reason I keep thinking that I should do more with a college degree than work at Toys R Us or a book store. There's also the practical part of me that says a job is a job. It leads to half filled applications that I say I'll come back to "later". Yeah. Right.

On to my "productivity"...I believe I'm in the 90s....and what can I expect other than more spin-offs and bad writing? Well, there's....Gambit...and Cable.....and the return of Professor X from outer space!!!! I'm totally stoked!!!!

Phase 3: (As phase 1 is to find a job and phase 2 is to read comics) Cleaning my room. Let's just say that I have way too much stuff. I noticed this Monday night as I was cleaning off the thingy to bring it to Drew's and was finding receipts from Christmas. Pack rat much? Not me. Right...anyway my book shelves are covered in much crap that is not books...and there are clothes everywhere. Where to put these things? I don't think I could throw away a bobble head Puss in Boots..I mean look at his cute eyes!!!!!! This is the dilemma I face.

The weekend was concerty. Sadly we got to Gigantour too late to see Opeth...but that's okay. It was cold. Have I mentioned how I dislike outdoor venues....because I dislike outdoor venues. Last year when we went to New Mexico for Gigantour it was really really hot. This time I choose the heat. The cold was evil!!! Anyway...missed Opeth...saw Lamb of God. What can I say about Lamb of God other than that I like to be able to hear what he's saying instead of just screaming. That's my preference though. People seemed to love them.

Megadeth was alright. Not the best show. The wind made the sound bad much of the time and I was COLD. They did play my two favorite songs (She-Wolf and Peace Sells), but for some reason I kept thinking about Star Power...I wonder why. And onward...as we debated whether there would be a double encore or a triple, we left early because IT WAS COLD. We went the wrong way to the car, so we heard the rest of the concert anyway.

Next Day:
MMmmmm sleep...

Yesterday was DRAGONFORCE! Which I have to say was an awesome concert. It was warm...ah warmth (yay smaller indoor venues!!!). I found that the fan to blow their hair back was perfectly necessary and the homo-eroticism was very.....there. I'm really not sure what else I can say about that, so I won't say anything.

Okay, so Megadeth isn't until fourish...and really I'm still in bed. It's warm here though.

My week of unemployment has been good. It's been mostly comprised of driving around and lunching with people.

I'm sleepy and can't think. Probably time to get up :(

I've been swallowed into the world of blogging and now can officially obsess over other lives. This means you JRRR. Stalk stalk stalk...

Anyway, from the subject you can see who made me do this...and also guess that I made Ashvin make everything pretty. Ashvin needed to be worked like an old mule....okay, not really. Don't hate me!!!!!!!!!

Right. Well. Day two of unemployment is going well. I've succeeded in waking up before noon, which is about all I expect of myself. Life is nice when productivity can be defined in how many comics you read in one day....I'll get you X-Men, oh yes how I'll get you.

So...now I'm going to go be "productive"
