Turkey Day Week, actually more like Burger Day Week

perfect image for this post, thanks to Steel Closet for having this image

So much stuff went down on Thanksgiving week. It's one of those weeks when you don't realize how awesome it is at the time but when looking back it brings back great memories. Soo went to the short week of school and then awaited for the arrival of my sister Crystal and her two children that are visiting us until later this week. Wednesday was a big food shopping day for the Thanksgiving holiday with stops at Sunflower Market and Costco. Wednesday was also the day of the burger where I had both Five Guys and In-n-Out which at this point are the kings of the burger places. I'm not going to choose sides on the better burger, but Five Guys gets points in having a bigger selection, better french fries (the peanut oil just beats out vegetable oil), and last but not least Five Guys has my soda mistress Coke Zero. Anyway, I went to In-n-Out with my cosuin David AKA Nacho who worships the burgers made by them. It was a great chance to sit and discuss some things while chowing down on yummy food cause I don't do much with him these days.

Thanksgving Day
Woke up and watched The Taking of Pelham 123 which is just a bland movie compared to other vehicle hostage movies like Speed. I like Denzel and everything but it's just boring and not much action until the end but even then it was weak. I had the main Thanksgiving dinner at my girlfriend's grandmother's house which went OK, I watched The Little Rascals movie on the TV and I realized just how influenced I was by that movie. I know which months have 30 days in it thanks to that flick, it helps with my brain that remembers a boatload of stuff. Then my girl Anna and I went over to my parent's house to chat and eat some pie. We were originally going to see an evening showing of The Blind Side but it was sold out so we ended up seeing New Moon (which is kinda what I wanted to see in the first place). I enjoyed the movie and it was a fun experience cause of how soap opera-ish it is mixed with the oohs and awws at Edward and Jacob.

Weekend
The rest of the weekend consisted of going on an impulse trip to Park City with my family (so my niece and nephew can see some snow), two nights of Beatles Rockband thanks to my brother bringing over all his gear to play, hanging out with Anna just kicking back, going to In-n-Out again (Note to self, skip getting fries from them, they just taste like potato chips anyway), and watching the first season of the British Whose Line Is It Anyway? on DVD. And ooh boy I've had sooo much food in the past week it's ridiculous.

Ehhh this week didn't have much to it

 Ooooooh I'm excited to see this movie next year. I've heard good things about Kick-Ass.

Anyway
Let's see what there is to say about this week
-It wasn't all bad, I heard from a couple friends which is always good.
-I went to funeral on Monday for my dad's uncle (also my hairstylist's father, and speaking of her I have an early hair appointment with my parents hours after typing this blog)
-I went and saw Love Happens on Tuesday and wow that movie was a huge downer. It had a couple good moments but was pretty boring and stupid. Watching the Nostalgia Critic (mentioned last time) made me wanna point out strange parts and make silly comments toward the movie. Side note- I also like watching the Nostalgia Chick on thatguywiththeglasses.com
-I got a Swine Flu shot, yay for me, they are offered at my mom's work so I took the chance since I fit the criteria and yadda yadda
-In-n-Out finally opened in Orem, UT a couple days ago but I think I'll wait just a little bit before confronting the extremely huge lines to get a burger. Yes, a burger, that seems to be everybody's mentality- "It's just a burger" well, if it's made right- it's one of the best burgers in the land.
-Got a crap load of schoolwork done this week, making yesterday pretty boring because of no more big assignments to work on. So I filled my time on the computer finishing ranking albums for my list I keep talking about, organizing stuff in my room, watching several programs like Geek Show (Comcast On Demand), PTI (sports show I've watched over 7 1/2 years now), and R. Kelly's Trapped In The Closet Chapters 13-22. Oh yeah I also went on long walk yesterday which I haven't done in a while.

Speaking of time, it was one year ago yesterday that my life was turned upside down when I met the girl in person who would eventually be my first girlfriend, who would later introduce me to my current girlfriend. The first week of knowing her was so surreal and not anything like my life had been.

That's it for now peoples

New Internet Obsession

Yes I always seem to have a current internet obsession, whether it be somebody's videos (Angry Video Game Nerd for example) or some random Facebook app such as Restaurant City or the Friend of the Day Application which makes me feel special cause I get to say something really nice about the majority (I know I've probably mentioned this before so just bear with me) of my friends and hopefully they notice and acknowledge the honor with a comment of some sort. Hopefully someday I get to be somebody's Friend of the Day. The highest probability will most likely be from my girlfriend since she uses that app too.

Anyway the internet obsession thing, I've spent the last four days spending hours upon hours watching The Nostalgia Critic on thatguywiththeglasses.com who makes fun of old movies and TV shows. I find them hilarious first off because the films he talks about are the ones I watched with my friends as a kid including 3 Ninjas, Sidekicks, and Blank Check. I also laugh cause he points out the lines and stories that have been used abundantly in other movies and tv shows. Sound effects used also have me rollin on the floor. I admire that he at least tries to be creative and make each review a little different. As I write this I'm watching his review of the Michael Jackson movie Moonwalker

Where do I get the time to watch all these videos you ask? Well there comes a time in every college school semester where the worst of it is over. Presentations, big papers, and big exams are out of the way so I can relax more and not have to be so concerned with school assignments. Also I have no job and nobody to hang out with, at least today. For the last 5 weeks or so I have been in the compnay of my best (local) friend Steve on most days since his driver's liscense is suspended and he needs rides from work and to places to smoke since he cannot smoke anywhere near his apartment. Our basic plan every time we hang is to go to the mall, go to Wal Mart, and back to his aparmtent which is nearby both places.

So yeah, this pretty much sums up my week (and last week, grrr I sucky at bloggy) so far.
let's see what updates can I bring to you readers

Remodeling- it's pretty much done at this point, there's stuff to be added later but the major stuff is over with.

Music/Movies- Excited to unveil my "60 Favorite Albums of the 2000s (2000-2009)" list next month along with other lists like my "Favorite Music of 2009", my "5th Annual Best, Middle, and Worst Movies of 2009 (Which I saw), and maybe even a bonus 10 Favorite Movies of the last 10 years. Yay for lists and junk, it's just my thing, sorry if you don't care.

I may have started a Saturday Movie Late Night tradtion (after the Halloween viewing of Hard Candy mentioned last time) for myself with the viewing of Sex Drive last Sautrday. Makes me tired as hell for church the next morning but oh well.

Later y'all
thanks for reading

Yay November's Here

Hip hip hooray, even though I hate when it gets dark so early which throws me out of my f-f-flow.
anyway, last week had its ups and downs while my throat was being groggy the whole time.
-I got one half of a big assignment over with, I had to interview somebody i don't know who works in the field that I'm studying. It's a little tough to get up the nerve to do so sometimes with me. I contacted someone through e-mail and luckily I got a response 4 days later. The interview went really well though I feel I had pretty weak questions that won't make much for an interesting paper, which is the 2nd part of the assignment. Oh well the hard part is done
-I left my most expensive textbook in one of my classes last Thursday, thank goodness it's just sitting in the teacher's "box" as I write this. It was quite the mystery though of what could have happened to it.
- I forgot to take a little online quiz. My Sociology of Deviance class has quizzes on UVU's Blackboard. The quiz was up for 24 hours and I totally spaced it. I must be slipping in my old age haha totally kidding. Then I come to found out that the quiz I took last week scored me a 0, no clue why, just didn't lock in my answers correctly or something. I'm taking the remaining quizzes the second they go up dangit.

Anyway, enough of the bad side
Good Stuff
-Food from Five Guys, Applebees, Taco Bell (Again!?), and a couple others
-Hung out with a couple good friends during the week, always good
-Had a Happy Halloween with my girl, we just chilled out watching Movies and stuff. Then later on, I watched the movie Hard Candy (with Sweet & Spicy Doritios and Coke Zero on hand) which I think may be my new Halloween tradition. I love that movie sooo much as crazy as it is.

-I saw The Time Traveler's Wife last week. It had its moments of humor and everything, but it did drag on a little too long. All I say about the way it ends is "IRONY!"
Well that's all I got on my brain
