weekend recap

ok so i don't often post recaps of significant chunks of my life. i figure most would rather not hear about the mundane details of my insignificant "life." generally i try to give just the juicy details of exciting stuff, or i like to rant and rave and bitch about stuff.

today however, i feel a bit of keyboard diaherrea and lots of not so interesting details coming on.

friday was spent like most of my others, at home, alone, watching movies while playing my online game star wars galaxies. what did i watch? oh, yes... sunset boulevard, when it wasn't skipping... sometimes i think netflix uses me as a screening tool to weed out all the unplayable dvds they have. anyways, sunset boulevard, which would be considered foreign by stan since it was black and white, wasn't that bad when i could watch it. i totally had to skip a few scenes since the disk was skipping. i hate people that scratch up dvds! the basic story was a washed up older actress that lives alone, a young writer running from people he owed money to hides out at her place and she tries to get him to fix her script for her comeback movie. well she's kind of nuts, and thinks a little too much of herself, and when he finally figures this out and tries to break away, she ends up killing him. Not a bad movie, especially for something a little older, but i couldnt put in the top 15 movies of all time like AFI did.

this was followed up by chain reaction. with keanu "dude" reeves, rachel weisz, and morgan freeman. i think i had hoped for too much from this when i saw morgan freeman was in it, that is the only way i can figure it got added to my queue on netflix. it kept my attention, but the story just wasnt presented that great. or maybe its my hatred of matrix 2 and 3, that made me dislike keanu... who knows... anyways the idea that we could use water as a power source kind of makes me wonder... aren't we like contaminating water quickly? so how could we decide to use it as a power source if we keep destroying it?...

saturday was spent at stan the man's playing HALO on xbox and gorging on snacks/hoagies/fisher's kick ass chili. if you ever wanted to see what happens when you get 12 geeks together with 3 video game systems and 3 tv's... this would have been your golden opportunity. i tend to come away from these events a little frustrated, mainly because i don't have an xbox, or halo, and i tend to get schooled. being the competitive little bitch that i am, i'll say there was at least one person who should have got their ass handed to them, not in gamimg terms, but ahhh oh well, i can't be the best at everything..... tho i do keep dreaming.

sunday was a most glorius day. the steelers won. and won big. ok cincy fans shut up right now about palmer. kitna was a starter in the not too distant past and even had a playoff start with seattle if i remember right.. anyways the steelers owned the bengals in the second half and i don't think it would have mattered if palmer was playing or not. but thats easy to say as a monday morning QB.

sunday evening was a little boring as there was no night game on. i ended up watching men in black on hbo... twice. i at least watched something in between the viewings, but at the present i cant recall what it was...

so there you have it, a weekend in the life star wars crazed, steeler loving geek.

and you people wonder why i'm still single....
