- Saw two movies over the weekend, Kill Bill and School of Rock. Both were pretty much what I expected from what people told me. Kill Bill was a good movie, as long as you don't mind a seeing lot of blood and limbs being chopped off. School of Rock was pretty good too, except Sarah Silverman didn't really have much of a part in it. I'd recommend either movie, but I don't know how much my recommendation is worth. It probably seems like I recommend a lot of movies, basically as long as it doesn't suck like The Medallion. Also, I have dragged people to go see Kung Pow with me in the past, so that might say something about my judgement.

- Something that really bothers me: Guys who wear shoes that sound like high heels when they walk. There seem to be a lot of these fruitcakes where I work and it drives me nuts.

- I discovered this fact a while back, but apparently the Blockbuster card I've been using is under my mom's name, and the credit card it's registered under expired 4 years ago. Hmmm, I think it might be time for me to get my own Blockbuster account.

- Since I always get hungry late in the afternoon at work, I've decided to spice up the situation by bringing a peanut butter & jelly sandwich every day. Yes, come today at 4pm, it's PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!

- I wasn't planning on dressing up for Halloween, seeing as I'm 23 and I haven't had a costume in over 10 years, but a friend mentioned a potentially awesome idea. How cool would it be if a whole bunch of people in Chicago dressed up as Steve Bartman? Ok, maybe not "cool", but you have to admit that would look hilarious if you saw everyone walking around with old worn Cubs hats on, headphones, glasses, green turtleneck, etc. on Halloween. I'm not saying I'm gonna do it, but someone should. Come on people, "do the Bartman"!

- Observation: When you play cards, it's very, very important to know the people you are playing with. Not so much to read each other's hands and betting, since I don't think any of us are good enough for that kind of stuff. More because with certain people, you have to be prepared to be sucked in to a bunch of crazy side games that keep you there later and put in more money than you should be. Among them, a friendly round of "Screw Your Neighbor" with a $40 pot. Ah yes... gotta love those.
