So last week I finally went and saw Charlie’s Angels with Mandi… I liked it… I wasn’t sure how good it was going to be, but it turned out to be pretty good. Of course, now when we talk, we quote silly things from the movie… “was it the chad?” The next movie I really want to see is Dude, Where’s My Car?. I know its going to be really bad, but I still crack up EVERY time I see the commercials.

This Saturday we’re going to see Insane Clown Posse. I went back in 98 but this time I’m painting up… should be fun.

Michael and I started talking about another trip. We had such a good time when we went out west with Andy that we’re ready to do it again. So far, all we have come up with is that we want to go east this time and instead of flying, we’re going to rent an RV from Cruise America and drive out there. We have to get together with Andy and figure out if and when and what we’re doing and I’ll probably keep updates posted here (like anyone will really care).

Ok, even with the complete laziness that using blogger to update this site provides, I still don’t do it. I did finish up the pictures from the halloween party and added a link to that gallery along with picture gallery from our Vegas vacation back in march to the menu. Enjoy.

Ok, I’ve fallen behind in updating my website so I’m going to just throw a bunch of stuff into one long post and recap the past week or so. Let’s see, where to start?

First, Mike moved out. This wasn’t actually in the last week but I didn’t post it up when it happened. We’re back down to a three person house again. Mike was cool to have living here though so it sucks in that respect (plus it lowered bills… but we were covering it when it was just Michael and I so thats not a huge deal). We still see him on occasion though so thats cool.

Second, I got my car back, the hood looks very very good… I love the looks it gets when people see it, though I know there are others with the same hood somewhere in Michigan, they are very rare and people like to gawk.

Third, our halloween party was great! I’m not much of a party thrower and haven’t really been much of a partier, but we did good. Lots of people, 12 hours of party, and no problems at all. No complaints, no calls, and the neighbors on both sides stopped in for at least part of the night. As usual, I had my camera out but didn’t take many pics, but tomorrow we should be getting pictures from 2 or 3 other cameras that were going all night. Scans will follow and be posted. The pictures I took are up, there isn’t any fancy webpage, just a directory of pictures.

Well, I dropped off my car yesterday afternoon to get the new hood test fit, painted, and mounted. Theoretically, I’ll have my car back by Thursday barring any odd problems he has while working on it. In the meantime, my mom lent me her minivan to drive. Slight problem… I went out this morning to leave for work, started it up and a huge puddle of gas started forming on the driveway under the van. Needless to say I’m not driving that to work. I called Enterprise and rented a car and I’m now the “proud” new driver of an ugly Escort.. I can’t wait to get a real car back.

I just got an email from my dad and he said that my new SD Ram Air hood for my GTP from the Grand Prix Store showed up at their shop today! (saved $$ by shipping it there) Now I just need to get it test fit, painted, and installed and my car will be one step closer to finished. Go to my car page and follow the link in the MODS section to see a picture or scroll down to the future look picture at the bottom to see what my car will look like when its on.

After I posted back on the 21st that I needed a logo, my friend Heidi gave some suggestions and sent a few ideas over to me. After looking at the ideas she sent, I fired up photoshop and did some mangling of my tattoo, and what came out is slapped up in the corner. Its starting to grow on me and I don’t really have any other ideas, so it’ll probably stay until I get bored of this look and redesign everything.

So last weekend, during a spur of the moment conversation, we got a new roomie. My friend Emily is now the proud resident of the 4th bedroom of our townhouse. I’m pretty geeked, I’ve known Emily for at least 15 years and she’s going to fit into our household perfectly I think.

Ok, so after only a little over a week, I took down the webcam. In order to clear out the server room to make it back into a bedroom for our new roomie, we had to take all the computers out. As soon as we figure out a new place to put it, it will be back, probably in a spot with actual activity so its not just a webcam of an empty room.

Ok, so finally getting back to the swing of movies… now that summer is wrapping up I have a feeling I’ll be resuming the weekly movie night with my roomie.

Anyways, tonight I went and saw Scary Movie with my friend Mandi. All I have to say is… DAMN! I crack up every time I see it and again any time I think about it… I’m definitely getting it on DVD when it is released.
