so i hit the big two one last thursday. the only thing that i dont really like about it is everyone going “so what’s it like to be 21?”

well, its just like being 20, or 19, except theres no fear of being carded. otherwise, no big deal.

thursday morning, went to work, got some home made cupcakes (just cupcakes, not ’special’ cupcakes) from erin and emily (thanks girls) along with an alcohol related bumpersticker and magnet.

thursday night, went to the casino queen with dad, jason, and uncle tom. walked in with $60, was down to $15 for a while, and whooped up at the roulette table and slots. walked out with $59. technically, down a dollar, but i’m chalking it up as a win because i spend $10 or $15 on drinks and tips. speaking of which, drinks were DIRT CHEAP. a buck a drink for an alcoholic drink – soda and ‘virgin’ drinks were free. (apparently, it’s illegal for a casino to give booze away for free, or else they’d give it to you.)

cleaned up alright. the PDA i bought back in april was a birthday present, and i also scored ‘chasing amy’ on dvd (which completes my kevin smith collection), the new bob and tom show 2 disc set, a nice ass leather guitar strap, a t-shirt, a cheesecake, about $100, and ‘BarBack 5.0,’ which is a computer program with the recipes for over 10,000 different alcoholic drinks. and for whatever it’s worth, theres still 2 or 3 people who have (or should have, at least) something for me.

alright, back to cleaning my room i go. it’s a little bit of, well, a disaster.

me and sean, bored at work. testing out the new digital camera.

yeah, i know, it’s juevnile. but in a smooth kind of way. im on the right, for those who dont know any better.

thats all i’ve got. hopefully we can abuse the digital camera more later on. maybe he’ll let me borrow it for a day or two, just to take some random pictures of stuff. regardless, i hope to have my own in the next few months.

like i need another toy, right?

we shall see.

so, i made a huge fucking mistake last friday.

i went to see spiderman on opening night.

dont get me wrong — it was a GREAT movie, i really liked it, but the number of absolute dorks, losers, and geeks was overwhelming.

it was like going to opening night of star wars, where theres people dressed up like princess leia and chewbacca and shit. just WRONG.

so anyway, anyone who’s gone to a movie with me knows what i do every time – i order a huge ass soda, and drink the whole thing during previews. then, half way through the movie (usually at the climax) i have to get up and go use the john.

tonight, i tried to beat the system. i didn’t drink the whole thing, and i went to pee BEFORE the movie started.

as i walked out of the theater, i made the crucial mistake of making eye contact with the most revolting looking guy i’ve ever met. probably 30 years old, and probably lives with his mom, he was irregularly obese, had nasty greasy hair, and was sporting some of the most stylish 1-inch thick glasses i’ve ever seen. it wasn’t long eye contact, just ‘in passing’ eye contact.

so this guy starts talking to me like im his best friend. “hey man, how are you? whats going on?”

i tried hard not to be rude. “not much, i’m good.” and then i continued on to the bathroom.

leaving the bathroom, i’m almost slammed into by some 12 year old kid charging down the hallway, flailing his arms around screaming.

i said, “hey man, be careful.”

kid: “hey, fuck you.”
me: “what are you, 12?”
kid: “im 15. what are you, 19?”
me: “hey, i’m 26. watch your mouth, motherfucker.”
kid: “oh. sorry man.”

so, i go sit back down and start telling charlie and laura about the fat guy who was talking to me, and sure enough, he’s sitting right next to us. and hes making stupid lame-ass comments REALLY loud, the. entire. movie.

“ouch, guess his spider sense didn’t work that time!”
“gee, i’ve never kissed anyone upside down before!”

i felt like saying “man, you’ve never kissed ANYONE before. your mom kissing you when she tucks you in doesnt count.” but i refrained. at least, from saying it loud enough for him to hear me.

anyway, that was my excitement for the weekend. look for a rant and rave on computers and viruses soon.

we’ve got canada geese ALL OVER campus. they’re everywhere, and the world is their toilet.

dont get me wrong, i like geese. i really do. geese are cool.

so anyway, theres three or four nests that have at least 5 eggs each, and i’ve been looking forward to seeing all the little geese running around. they’re small and yellow, and they look like baby ducks.

so i’ve been looking forward to seeing a bunch of baby geese running around shitting on whatever they please, and i find out this week that the university has sprayed all the eggs with some coating to prevent the eggs from developing and hatching.

that’s disappointing. and a little sad. and in some strange way, i feel bad for the moms-to-be sitting on eggs for weeks at a time, only to have the eggs not hatch.

ok. im off to write a paper for my 5:30.
