I think I'm going to go ask the front office today to look at the 1 bedroom apartment I've been thinking about. I'm leaning towards trying to move out by July or August into my own apartment in the same complex. What amazes me is that as nice as my complex is, it's also the cheapest one in Sugar Land from what I've found. Complexes that aren't as pretty or as well located as mine cost more, I can't figure it out. Oh well, I'm not complaining. And the nice thing is, I think I'm about to get another raise. After doing the math, I think the raise by itself would cover a fair amount of the cost difference between where I am now and a 1 bedroom.

I'm always afraid of change, but this time I'm excited. I'm going to do something to better my situation and I'm glad I'm doing it.

Well, I ended up seeing Kill Bill 2 tonight. I won't say anything at all about it, because at the very least I know Phil and Erica both want to see it, and I'm not spoiling anything. I was going to see Punisher on Saturday, since for some reason I'm off, but Erica wants to see it (kickass!) so I'll hold off and go to Bedrock instead. I ended up not going the other day because Tim was busy and I had a bunch of stuff to do anyways. Which works, because now I can spend a good hour or two in there just looking around. I hope to buy a bunch of old issues of stuff I haven't read before, and maybe some new issues of the Garth Ennis Punisher. The new Punisher comics have this cool sense of dark humor that really works well, from what I've seen.

Looks like I'm going to miss the Hatebreed show on Tuesday, which is ok since I just saw them 5 months ago. I just hope I get to go to Ozzfest this summer. Why do none of my friends like metal? Erica does, but she'll be in Wyoming. Luis does, maybe him; but he just went last year. Seriously, it's like I made friends with a bunch of Enya fans. Not that there's anything wrong with Enya, she's cool with her Celtic self... it's just that a big loud sweaty balls-out metal show is a whole lot of fun to go see sometimes.

I have a thing for B-movies, cult movies, whatever you want to call them. Some just call them bad. Anyways, one of my favorite genres is that of the zombie movie. I've heard for years about the reputation of one "Re-Animator". Apparently one of the better zombie movies, has a cult following and all. I figured with all that talk about it, I should check it out. I'll never get that hour and 40 minutes back. Man, was that *ever* a shitfest. Awful. The director should be beaten with copies of his own movie. There's a simple equation, fackface: millions of zombies taking over America is scary; one zombie that doesn't even kill people flailing around a hospital is not scary. Is it really that tough to make a zombie movie? Just have zombies kill people and bring about the end of civilization, that's the only way they can be scary.

All in all, it sucked. Re-Animator had lame zombies. I've seen slices of pie that are scarier.

We've all at some point received some kind of porn related junk e-mail, yeah? Well, could someone explain to me the appeal of something titled "anal destruction"?

Anyways, today (Friday) was pretty interesting. Woke up at 9-ish or so, opened at work and was off at 6. Erica was having a pretty bad day, so I figured it might cheer her up if later that night at 10-ish or so I surprised her on her break with something she likes from Wendy's. Well she knew I was coming, but since I kinda wanted the Wendy's to be kind of a surprise, I didn't want to parade around with it downstairs, so I asked someone to go tell her I was in the break room and to take her break (she had been saving it till I would be there). Well, the person never told her, and Erica never took a break, after having a bad day already. So she came upstairs pissed and not looking very pleased with me. Even after the food she didn't seem too happy. D'oh. I felt bad because she seems to have a lot of bad days and I can't normally do much to help her. I don't like not being able to help.

After that, I went out to Slick Willie's with a few people. Anna, Luis, Drew, Lesley, Allen, and some of Luis/Anna's friends were there. Drew was dressed quite hick and Anna put his cowboy hat on me. This guy Rhys that Anna and Luis always talk about was there, he ended up being pretty cool. Mostly I talked to Lesley though. We have been pretty good friends for a while, but I lose touch with people because I just never take the time to hang out with them or talk to them. The only people I ever really see are my mom and sister, and my girlfriend, because those 3 are just too important to *not* see. Then we all went to this Mexican all night place for a while, and I didn't get home until 5am. Been a while since I was out that late.

More later, I'm exhausted.
