I cost Target $500 tonight!
I was on my way home from having dinner with Bev, when I got a call from Matt, Anna and Dave. "Dude, someone put the Back To The Future DVD Box Set out a week early, it's only 40 bucks!" With that I was on my way to Target. By the time I got there, one of the employees was hip to the mistake and within minutes of me picking up my copy, there was someone throwing them all into a shopping cart then taking them to the back. He told us they weren't supposed to be out on the shelves yet and that for every copy sold before the release date, Target gets fined 500 bucks. I had to have it though. It's all three movies, on 3 DVDs with tons of extra hit including the music video for The Power Of Love by Huey Lewis and The News. Fuck Yeah!
My math final was fucked, not sure, but that might be a repeat class. Not good. Chemistry wasn't too bad. I think I did OK. Bio is tomorow at 10:00am. After that I am done until January 6th! I'm selling back the books tomorow as well. I got 61 bucks for my chem book tonight, going to bring everythng else back tomorow. Hoping to get at least 200 out of them. Should pay for most of the Christmas shopping I need to do, it's two weeks away, craziness....
P.S. The Greystreet video is off the hook! I cannot wait for the DVD to come out!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
That's about all I can say, but I guess I should elaborate a little bit.
Soo, it's been interesting. I guess I should go back to Tool. They were absolutely awesome, however, Fresno sucks ass. The crowd was just horrible. These kids in front of us kept getting up and down all night, and were playing musical chairs all over the place. They also kept playing with their cell phones and talking all night. They were very annoying, to the point that it brought me down. The cool thing was that they were recording this show. I noticed cameras all over the place at the show and saw some mics coming up from the soundboard area. During the show Maynard said "By the way, we're recording tonight, so feel free to make some noise." and the crowd goes crazy, then he comes back with "Well, let me define noise. You assholes with the cell phones that are too busy to pay attention to the show and have to take care of business, knock it off, you're fucking with the equipment." It was the coolest thing he said that night.
After the show we partied at my buddy Kevin's house. We got nice and smashed. The next day we all woke up around noon and went to Lyon's. For those who are not familiar, Lyon's is kind of like a Denny's type place, but much better. They used to be all over the place, but their numbers are shrinking greatly. So, naturally when we discovered there was a Lyon's nearby, we had to eat there. It was awesome.
We got home around 7:00 that night and decided we would try to go see Friday After Next that night. NNN, Sarah and I met up with Kelly and Danielle at Target. We walked around and had fun, but I didn't get anything. After that we hit up Taco Bell. From there, NNN, Sarah and I headed off for the movies. We got there and got tickets. When we tried to get in the guy checking tickets stopped us "There's a hold out line for this movie, outside, you need to wait out there." Nathan and I were like "we're here for the Friday movie, that line is for James Bond." The guy then says, you have tickets for that movie. Sure enough we look and the idiot at the box office had printed the wrong tickets for me and nathan. We go to Guest Services as instructed and explain. The lady there says "ok, I'll get you tickets for the right movie." Just then an announcement comes on over her radio "attention all staff, the 12:10 showing of Friday After Next is now sold out." It was seriously something right out of a movie, I could not beleive it. Needless to say, we were a bit pissed.
The next day I went to work and tried to get ahold of Lisa to go see her, but got the voicemail twice. I called Matt and headed over to his place. We kicked it for a bit and went to
BevMo to cash in on Matt's coupon. While I was there Lisa called, so I told her I hadn't heard from her and had some plans already and asked if she wanted to come over, she said no. So after that, Matt and I ate then got in contact with Nathan and Sarah and the four of us went to see Friday After Next. This time we got the right tickets. It was a damn funny movie.
Monday I had school and then called Lisa, no answer. She called me back around 10:00 that night and said "we need to talk" so we arranged to meet the next night for dinner.
Tuesday night, she came over and we went out to dinner. The car ride down was ok, but I could feel tension. During dinner, things were weird as hell, it was like she didn't want to be there. Everytime I tried talking, to start a conversation, it went down in flames. I felt like I was on that show "Blind Date" and experiencing one of the "dates from hell." After dinner she asked to go get Starbucks, so we went and on the way in I asked her what was going on in her head. She did the typical girl thing "Huh? Nothing." I called bullshit and she asked if we could get coffee first. I got her the coffee and on our way out and I asked again, and said she wanted to go somewhere to talk. In the car I asked yet again and she again put it off saying she wanted to talk to me while I wasn't driving. So, I drove us up to the top of Crestview, which has one of the most beautiful views of the Bay Area. It was a clear night and you could see everything from San Francisco to the East Bay all the way down. I parked the car and turned off the engine. I looked at her and asked for the final time what was going on.
In the back of my mind, I knew what was about to happen. Lisa looked upset and was midly shaking. She went on with this thing about how lately it seems we don't spend any time together and that it seems like I just want to be friends with her. I was upset and she could tell. She asked if that was how I felt and I said no. We talked and cried for a while up on the hill in my car. We said we wanted to be friends and nip this before it got out of control. I told her I really liked her, but at the same time, my schedule is my schedule. I have to work and I have to go to school, and there wasn't much I could do to change this. We agreed to be friends and think about things more and to see how things go. From what I can see, it's pretty much over. I always told people I was too busy to have a girlfriend, and I proved my theory correct. It sucks.
I talked to Lisa last night, and it was really awkward. She asked me if I hated her every 3 seconds, eventhough I said no every time. It was just a weird conversation. You know when it just feels weird? That's how it was. I am supposed to go see a
Shark's game with her on Saturday, I'm hoping things will go better then. We'll see how it goes.
On a lighter note, I had a lot of fun wednesday. I got out of class around 2:15 and headed staight the nathan's place and started drinking. Nathan had been complaining that nobody would get drunk with him since he turned 21, so I said I would as soon as I was out of class. So, we started drinking around 2:45 in the afternoon. I pounded a third of a bottle of
Ciclon Rum which is absolutely disgusting, but it had to be finished. After that I had a couple beers and was feeling really good. We chilled for a while and then met up with everyone and went to dinner at
Gordon Biersch where they were not carding, so I had a couple more beers. Rock! From there we went to tower then Matt's house, where I had a few shots of tequilla and we watched some TV. After that I headed home and went to sleep.
I slept until like 11:00 on tursday, and stayed in bed till about 2:00. I did nothing all day and it was everything I thought it could be. We had a really nice dinner around 4:30. Very relaxin day. After pumpkin pie, the family and I watched Mr. Deeds. After that I popped online to see nathan and matt as bored as I was, so we all decided to go see 8 Crazy Nights. It was pretty funny, buy not a kids movie for sure.
Friday I cleaned my room a bunch, it was nice. Then went to work and headed down to Campbell to see a local show. I had not been to one in a long ass time, so it felt good to be there. Saw a lot of people I had not seen in a long ass time. After the show, nathan and I hit up
Del Taco. It was damn delicious. Those chicken soft tacos are the best thing ever.
Saturday I had to work all day, from 9:30 to 6:00. After that I picked up 3 cheese pizzas from costco and headed up to Matt's house for the World Primere of "The Advenures of James and Matt: America's Most Moated." The movie went over pretty well. We had close to 20 people there and everyone seemed to laugh pretty good at it. Matt and I want to add commentatry, outtakes and deleted scenes, then put it out on DVD. Should be a lot of fun. After that I headed up to see Robyn for a little bit. She was over at Liana's house. It was a lot of fun hanging with them. Unfortuately, I was really tired and had to be at work at 7:00am so I went home early and went to bed.
Work was asolutely horrible. I was stuck putting glass pieces in the curio cabinet most of the afternoon and people kept asking me to help them, and I couldn't cause I was attending the case. Needless to say, there was a lot of people unhappy with me. But fuck them, there's a reason we lock that shit up, people shouldn't expect me to leave it out so I can help them. After work I went home and finished my room, it looks sexy right now. Robyn came over on her way back to Davis with her roomate Brian. It was great getting to see them. I going to try and get up there sometime after finals.
OK, I think that's enough rambling...
to sumerize
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
