Dinner and a movie

Let's see... Tuesday night Josh and I played CoD4 all night. Yesterday was the big opening night of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I must say that film was beautifully done, I would absolutely see it again. and again. Although I think they over did it on the teen romance theme. Josh of course is left in the dark now since he didn't read the books, so he's got the classic theory that Dumbledore might have a Horcrux. I told him he should read the 7th book and he said he just might, but we'll see.

Today we had dinner with a group of our younger co-workers at a Thai place. I had this luxurious pineapple shrimp dish with pineapple sauce served in literally the half shell of a pineapple. It was good but probably a bit too much for the price. After I went to the mall across the street and got my hair cut and bought some nice clothes. It's nice not having a family or girlfriend :) A boyfriend on the other hand...

There's a massive thunderstorm out now and it's raining buckets. I got soaked just running from my car to the apartment.

Time keeps on ticking, ticking, ticking.

Our friend didn't call back Sat night, but this morning at work he apologized that he had lost his phone charger. I wasn't disappointed 'cause Josh and I continued to play Armored Core the rest of the night.

Sunday we ordered Chinese for the first time (also my first time getting Chinese delivered). It was good, but I ordered much more than I could eat.

A little later we watched the 5th Harry Potter. I liked it, but I realized it wasn't as good as the last two, probably because nothing much actually happens in the book 'til the end. Now the 6th one is coming up on Wednesday and I've heard good things so I'll continue to keep my hopes up. I read today that the 7th movie is in production and is being split into two movies! It makes sense though, that book is packed with important events that can't be cut out.

Not much happened today. At work I did absolutely nothing but just surf the web. My 'supervisor' is on vacation this week and left me to two other senior employees, but they didn't give me any work. I would have actually rather had some work so I would have felt like I was doing something, but I'm not about to complain about it, it's their loss. Did laundry when I came home, Josh made chicken for dinner, sorry, not much happened :)

Oh, and Josh's girlfriend is coming up this weekend. I'm not looking forward to it for obvious reasons, but I'm going to see if they want to go blueberry picking. I want to be eating handfulls of blueberries every day for the rest of the summer!

Death Row

Yesterday after work Josh and I played CoD4 most of the night. Afterwards i went to check on my Final Fantasy account and couldn't log in; I got a message saying LM-17 YOU ARE BANNED!!! So I called Square Enix today and they tell me I was banned for real money trading, which isn't true. They filed a complaint for me and now all I can do is wait to see if I get the ban lifted. I can't believe how dimwitted their "Special Task Force" (what they call their RMT hunters) are for this atrocious display of customer service. I've been playing for 3 years now and put in countless hours and I get wrongfully committed. Kind of like getting put on death row and being innocent. Well, not that harsh, but i'm sure you can see the similarities. I guess this is a good point to quit, since I've been thinking about it; I just didn't want to go out like this.

Today after work I took Josh to the DMV to get his CT drivers license. I would have but I couldn't find my identification. It was so busy we had to wait 2 and a half hours, which almost shot the night.

We came back and watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in my room. God that movie is good. The end makes my eyes water every time. Josh liked it a lot and now we'll have to watch the 5th one this weekend. I purchased reserved seats for the 6th movie already for next week. Surprisingly a lot of the seats were already taken a week in advance, so I'm glad I got good ones while I could. It'll be my first time in the director's hall, which from what I've heard is very nice.

Azkaban

Spent the 4th with Josh's family since they are here. We attempted to go look at the many shops around, but ironically they closed early for the holiday. We did get to see a pretty nice fireworks show though. Later that night I had a good time playing Lord of the Rings Conquest with Josh and his brother well until after 3 a.m.

This morning his family headed back home. I did some grocery shopping and started browsing slip covers for the couches we just got. The ones I found cost more than the couches did themselves, lol, so I'm going to look on ebay or something when I get around to it.

I told Josh I'd make him come with me to see Harry Potter 6 when it comes out. He had only seen the first 2 movies, so now I am catching him up with 3, 4, and 5. I'm happy that he is willing to watch them with me even though I'm not sure if he wanted to at first. We watched The Prizoner of Azkaban tonight, one of my favs. (Ok, they all are, lol). He followed along very well and was making astute observations of foreshadowing. The sixth movie is going to be awesome, it's just the story is so sad... I really do like the story, I've read all 7 of the books. I don't even consider it a kids story anymore, the way the books get so dark in the end.

Thinking of trying to go to bed early so I can get up early and maybe do some running. That'll get the blood flowing so maybe I'll be a bit more alive during the day at work.
