Having a bud. True. True.

---

Last night, after school finished at 9pm I came to home to find that my Internet connection was down. Argh--not again! So having nothing better to do, I went down to to the video store to see what I haven't seen. I ended up renting U-571 and High Fidelity. When U-571 was out in theatres my niece had told me not to go see it--unless I liked "that kind of stuff". I wasn't quite sure what she meant by that, but I just trusted her. Anyhoo, since it is now out on video I thought it would be worthwhile to watch.

Hey! It wasn't that bad--I actually liked it.

Hmmm...next time I see her, I better ask her what she means by "that kind of stuff". I wonder why she didn't like it--I would think she would be smitten by Matthew McConaughey. Don't all girls love him? Once, my friend Meg touched him, and I'm guessing she still hasn't washed her hand...

Hah!

Okie dokie. So I would probably give U-571 a 7.5 and High Fidelity a solid 7 out of ten. So what else did I do today besides finishing the movies? Hmmmm. Nothing! Nada. Zip. Buckus. Just kicked back had a Bud. True. True. This was partly because I was procrastinating ALL day and also because I had to stay in the house in order to house-sit while my parents go camping. They left me all alone...sniff, sniff. You're probably asking: don't I have real work to do? Yeah, but those projects aren't due until next week...they can wait. When it comes to next Monday, I'll start worrying. Meanwhile I'll continue watching TV...

Oh, look! Now the shopping channel is selling those scooters/kickboards. What is up with those damn things? Every kid seems to be foot-paddling around on those stupid things. They look pretty dumb to me. Am I just out of the orbit of the hip generation or something? Am I already becoming an old, senile twenty-something? Maybe I should just sit on my porch all day and yell at the neighbour's kids and tell them to stay off my lawn. Or maybe...I'm just biased against those things because a girl riding one, hit me when I was shopping back in Seoul. It was apparently an accident--I didn't know her, so I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything to provoke her (yet). I should have got her to buy me coffee in compensation. Hmmm....nah! Damn kids. Get off my lawn!
