Palo Alto and Harry Potter

Hello Everybody,

Another weekend is over and some more thoughts are on my mind. First off, a little weekend recap. Not too much happened overall. We went down to Palo Alto on Friday night, we hadn't been there for a very long time, months at least, so we figured it'd be a good thing to do, just check it out instead of our usual bar stool at 1st and Main. Anyway, due to some limo/cab difficulties, we didn't get down there until 1am. At this point we were questioning even going, but we were in Menlo Park at the time with my cousin, so it was somewhat on the way back anyway, so we thought we'd check it out.

It was pretty dead down there. Unless there was some big party at Blue Chalk or Rudy's that we didn't know about, there wasn't much going on. Old Pro was pretty slow and Nola's was even worse. Luckily we had a good group of people so we had a drink and made the most of it. Found a friend down there who had his car so we got a ride home which was really nice. So a free trip home was good times and then just crashed from there.

Saturday was a pretty nice day. Recovered in the morning and after lunch Bryan and Matty P came over and we went swimming and hung out outside. Getting sun is always a good thing to do. That night my parents went to a friends dinner party, so Bry, Erik and I ordered some pizza's and watched some movies while playing drinking games. Wall-E was ending so we watched that and played a game to that, then Rattatouille was on after so we drank to that as well. Obviously Pixar movies are awesome and the drinking games we found were pretty sweet. Matty P eventually came over and joined us and then we just stayed in from there. Nothing too exciting.

Sunday was nice. Ran some errands and started watching the Harry Potter movies which leads me into my next topic. Well, little background first. Erik, while being on the couch for the last 3 weeks, has been extremely bored and has since read all the Harry Potter books, within 6 days I might add. So he's now been wanting to see the movies since he never has. I figured I'd do it too because I've only seen one (the first one) and so I thought I'd give it another shot since I didn't like it the first time and maybe it'll be better. It wasn't.

Harry Potter is such an idiot. First off he's a little bitch, he can't do anything and he's supposed to be this totally sweet dude. Also, he's so stupid whenever he gets into situations. All he has to do is tell the headmaster (I'm not going to attempt to spell his name) about the problem at hand and it could be solved so easily. But he never tells, he always wants to do it himself and it's so much harder than it would've been. Oh well. So the first movie was really bad. Sorry for all you HP fans out there. However, we started the 2nd movie and watched about half of it today. It is way better than the first. He's still an idiot and I want to punch him in the face a lot of the time, but he's getting better.

I know he's still young and stuff, I just have a feeling he'll never live up to my expectations. We'll see though. I'm going to watch them all and give it a fair shot. I was talking to Chris about Harry Potter today and how I didn't like the first movie. We decided it's like an entire story about the little boy who plays Anakin in Star Wars Ep. I, except that he's also gay. Harry just bothers me, and he needs to step it up in the next movies or I'm not going to be very happy.

No, I have never read the books. I know that may change my opinion but whatever, I'm not going to read them so that's just how it's going to be. Erik did tell me though that in the first 3 books Harry is a retard and the stories suck. But once the 4th book comes along people start doing shit and it gets interesting. So I'm hoping he's right and the rest of the movies are good. We'll see.

Alright, enough ranting about Harry. They're entertaining. Well it's the start of another week again. This week will not be very fun, two people are out on vacation at work so I'm helping cover for them. It's definitely not the end of the world, just going to be a bit busier. That's life though.

I hope you all had a great weekend and I hope you have a good week as well. Stay tuned for my next blog sometime this week about D-Day. You won't want to miss it.
