Sucky movies & video games

Posted on

I don’t know why so many people liked Napolean Dynamite. I thought it was stupid and the plot was weak. The only character that was even remotely interesting was Deb. She’s the girl who starred in that movie with the seal, called Andre. I knew she looked familiar.

Speaking of blah movies, we’re going to watch Kill Bill Vol 2 in a few minutes on cable. I’m not necessarily looking forward to it, because Vol 1 was so over-the-top violent that it made me queasy. But I have to know how the story ends, so I will endure it for the next two and a half hours. Damn you Quentin Tarantino, damn you!

P.S. Don’t rent Shark Tale for the PS2. I wanted to try it out, mostly to see if it would be fun for the kids. Joe just got the Game Pass at Blockbuster, so it doesn’t really cost anything extra, so why not? Well that game blows! It may not have wasted money, but it did waste my time. Even the kids would hate it. I hate when they take a good movie and try to turn it into a game without much thought into how enjoyable it will be.

Food-i-ties

The strangest thing happened today – I wasn’t hungry in the morning, so I didn’t eat breakfast, or have the Cafe Mocha Cappuchino drink I’ve become hooked on. And when I say hooked, I mean addicted to the point where most days I feel like crap until I have one.

I ran out to Walmart during lunch, so I picked up a salad from Burger King on the way back and ate at my desk. As I munched, my stomach started to “wake up” and by the time I was done I was hungrier than when I started. Explain that. The good news is that I consumed less than 500 calories by the evening, so I could afford to be a little pig-ish for dinner. So what did I end up eating? A bowl of cereal. Hmph.

Speaking of food, I made homemade fried rice on Sunday. It didn’t taste like the rice you get from a Chinese restaurant, though. More like the stuff from Panda Express. I had the hardest time finding some good sweet and sour sauce at the store, and I need that for the rice; I can’t eat it without it. The first bottle I bought, made by La Choy, was terrible and went straight into the trash. Then I bought Kikkoman, but that sucked too (although their Soy Sauce is good). Tuesday I finally found a good one at the Super Target called Chun’s Sweet n’ Sour Sauce. The lesson here: if the sauce is orange-yellow, you’re all good fellow; if the sauce is red, throw it in the trash instead. :)

F-in Headache

I have a huge headache. I can’t decide if it’s from the nap I took earlier, or the homemade chinese food I made (stir-fry rice and peanut chicken) for dinner, but it’s really annoying. I can’t believe the weekend is over already. I guess it’s bedtime. :p
