So yesterday went to see Darjeeling Ltd., not a bad movie (not an incredible movie either, Anderson's form doesn't improve content), but Oliver Platt was there. In Concord NH, watching Darjeeling Ltd. at the new theater on South Main street. He was in front of me in line for tickets & then refreshments, maybe a foot away. It's a weird celebrity to get excited about, but kind of cool as it was like he was a secret celebrity - nobody but us recognized him out of everyone at the theater. Awesome.

Dear reviewers who are pulling Spiderman 3's Metascore down to a 60: wtf? I hate to tell you, but it was as good as Spiderman 2, which you've apparently decided is the greatest movie ever. Three is actually closer to the feel of a comic book. I don't care that the plot is ridiculous. Have you not read Spiderman comics? The source material isn't Gaiman, it's Lee. Get over it!

WTF. Weren't they supposed to resolve SOMETHING this week?

I'm sick. It sucks. Because it's nice out.

Saw Yonatan & Carol in B-town last night, went out to Grasshopper for the first time in a long time. Saw a bad band briefly in Great Scott.

Dear Massachusetts: fuck your stupid tax forms.

Dear Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez: that film was three hours long, but it was okay because it was the awesomest.

Friday:

Picked up Super Paper Mario for Jess. It's pretty good, like Paper Mario meets Super Mario DS with some Kirby Canvas Curse visuals. Went to the Barristers' Ball, aka law school junior prom. The experience was made more bearable by Frank & Mandy from work coming. There was some guy there who was exactly like Dwight from the Office. It was ridiculous. Due to limited selection I was drinking Coronas all night - oh yeah, the booze was free. Best part.

Saturday:

Bought GHII and spent about two and a half hours playing it with Frank. Saw Aquateen, which I liked a lot even though it wasn't as awesome as it might have been. Too much plot. ** Spoiler ** The dancing snack intro was the best part of the movie. That was awesome.**/Spoiler**

Today:

Rain not snow, which means I probably have work tomorrow. Lame.

Oh yeah, and now I have a myspace, after years of denunciation. Hypocrite!

If I don't start with a little post today, I will never start again. So, uh...

This past weekend was pretty cool. Went to Frank's show at "Uptown Tavern" dive bar in ManchVegas Friday. Jess says calling it ManchVegas means I want to live in NH forever. Whatever. Saturday the mom and sibling showed after Jess got her macabook healed up in Salem. Gave the little sis a booze 101 Saturday night with the leastdrinking game of Kings in the past century. Sunday breakfast with Dad & Jenny in-house wasn't too torturous, the sibling back to the Hudson River Valley and proceeded to watch half the Battlestar Galactica 3rd season straight. Note to self: stop being such a nerd. Work today okay, had my first review, didn't get fired, all in all not to bad. Tomorrow night team building + booze = awesome.

Snow = awesome.
Snow day from work = awesomer.
Getting paid for snow day home from work = awesomest.
Still having to work Saturday morning = still a WTF moment, even if it is time and a half.

The Aquateens just took down Boston.

Yesterday I officially became an agent of the man. I had my first day of my new job. For which I have to wear a suit. A suit. And I have an office. Looking at myself in the mirror, I felt a little piece of myself die.
