Tuesday went well. Slept in a decent amount because of the expected staying up halfway through the night. Then I finally went and bought a new mattress and boxspring. It was about time since the old one was pretty much falling apart (big holes in the side of the boxspring, edges all ripped, etc). I think that thing must be almost as old as me. Anyway, somehow I managed to get delivery on Wednesday, which was cool. Then headed to Home Depot to register my input on the color of paint going in my brother's room in my house (he didn't like the blue for some reason). Of course I also had to get everything out of that room. Then ended up going to
Dave's to watch
Tommy Boy with him as well as Brie and Ryan. When that finished up it was around 9:30 so time to head over to to Bethel since we were leaving for the movie at 10. Everyone showed up relatively on time and we gave the student workers who were working a hard time for not going to the movie. We ended up getting to the theater at around 10:30 and they let us right in, which was rather surprising. Another cool part was they had Code Red slushies - more caffeine to enhance the movie experience.
The movie was 11:59, and actually started relatively on time. They had trailers and stuff of course, but the number of them was surprisingly low, not that I'm complaining. The movie itself was good, although I'm still not sure of the ending. They skipped a part of the book that in my opinion is a major part of the whole point of the book. Of course they said that they'd be doing that since the beginning, but I figured that meant they would end the story right before it. Nope, they had to just jump over it and do other stuff, making it seem like that never happened! Anyways the movie and ride home were rather uneventful, other than I was wide awake and everyone else seemed sorta tired. Of course one person in the group was already sick and two more were sick today, so hopefully that trend doesn't continue. Ended up going to bed around 4:45, which I didn't think was too bad. Until my phone rings at 8:30am. The delivery people are at my front door wanting to deliver the bed stuff. And the guy told me to call after 8:30 to find out when they'd be delivering it... At least that was only like 10 minutes so I promptly climbed back into bed and slept until something like 1pm. By that time my mom and brother were going on the painting and the house started smelling a bit - oh well. Spent a lot of the rest of the day relaxing, although I ended up returning a lot of voicemails too. I'm not the biggest fan of the phone so sometimes end up getting a bit behind there. My new drivers license arrived today, which sorta surprised me. At the place they told me they were running behind and the temporary thing only lasted for 30 days so I'd probably have to go back and get it stamped. Of course then a week later it arrives in the mail. Oh well. Talked to
JoeBuck as he was heading off to go and catch his plane. That means he's gonna be back here soon, which is cool. C1 on Friday! Went shopping and put together everything for the bed which means I have a place to sleep tonight, which is good. Finished off the evening by watching
X2 with my brother. He hadn't seen it before, so that was cool. That movie has a pretty good soundtrack - lots of explosions and good environmental sound if a bit exaggerated sometimes. Now I wonder if I can get up in the morning...
