A Boring Weekend... Maybe

But as in ethics, evil is a consequence of good, so, in fact, out of joy is sorrow born.
- Edgar Allen Poe

Greetings All! I hope you’re all having a wonderful day like I am. I love good days, don’t you? Well, I said I might have something more to post on after the weekend, and unfortunately I really don’t. Again, nothing much happened. After all, it was a weekend spent on campus. Not much really happens on weekends like that. So, I’m going to try and concoct a post out of very little. I’ve tried this before, but it hasn’t always worked out that well. But, who am I to allow myself to be beat by something as small as that? Nothing, that’s what. I’d never allow such a tragedy to befall me. I will make a post out of very little. It’s possible. So, here goes nothing!

A Friday Departed
Yeah, the title makes no sense, but I thought it sounded cool. Heh heh! Yeah. It was a slightly interesting Friday. Two things happened which are post worthy. The first is something that my university calls “Mock Rock.” It’s a lip sync competition. We had about ten groups of students who asked to be put in the show. They all got up in full costume and performed little acts of their choice and lip synced to the music. Some of the performances were just INCREDIBLE, but others weren’t. The best one, and the one that won the grand prize, was a group of two guys who got up and did a compilation of like 10 songs. The songs progressed through the decades and changes in genre. They started out with a Sinatra song, and then moved onward. After Sinatra was the Beach Boys, then the Rolling stones, and then a song by CCR, and well, you get the idea. The thing that made that act cool, was that as each portion of the song went by, they changed clothes to fit the genre and generation. It was HILARIOUS and very talented. They did an awesome job. I loved it. They definitely deserved the grand prize. Very cool. Another group of three guys got up and did a song from Saturday Night Fever. It was hilarious! And, they did an awesome job performing it. Another group did swing dancing to a ska song, and well you get the idea. It was really cool, and I look forward to it each year.

After the “Mock Rock,” I and a group of three of my friends went to see The Departed. Such a good movie. Mom, don’t go see it, you won’t follow a bit of it, but Dad if you are up for an incredibly good cop drama which keeps you guessing through the entire thing, go see this movie. It really is quite good and I suggest it to anyone who can handle some pretty serious violence. And, in my opinion, Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance could get him an Oscar nomination. It really was that good. So, I do suggest you all go see it. Half of my group enjoyed it. Aaron and I loved it, while Jessi and her roommate Lindsay weren’t so up for it. They said it was too violent and made no sense. And, I can see where they are coming from with the violence thing. There was quite a bit of it, and there was an abundance of cursing as well, but it did make sense. So, I guess they just didn’t follow the story all that well. Anyway, yeah that was Friday.

Some Days Are Bad
Yeah, Saturday didn’t go very well as far as work goes. I just wasn’t on the ball. The entire four hours I managed to raise only $45. Not all that good. Not good at all. So, that was a little bit of a downer and really didn’t get my day off to a good start. The rest of the day went fine, but it just didn’t seem like that good of a day, because of the morning. Bummer, eh?

The Matrix Had Me
Sunday was yet again a boring day. I was up until about 5 that morning because I was watching anime and reading Megatokyo. So, I wasn’t really in the mood to go to church. Instead, I slept in until about 2 and then decided to watch The Matrix. And, when I say I decided to watch The Matrix, I mean the WHOLE Matrix. That’s right, I watched all three movies, plus The Animatrix, in one continuous block. Very cool. I did it with a friend of mine named Joe. It went really well! It was a bunch of fun. After the first Matrix we left and went to get Chinese food. I had moo goo gai pan. It was good. Messy, but good. And, I got a new air freshener from Wal-Mart. The ones I had been using in my room just weren’t powerful enough to cut through the stench which typically hangs over the university at night. I’m not exactly sure about the origin of the ghastly odor, I’ve heard some say it’s stagnant water from a creek nearby, and I’ve heard others say it’s from a sewage treatment facility in the area. Either way, the stink descends upon campus every night and we all hate it. The little gel air fresheners I was using weren’t working, and thus I switched to something slightly more expensive that would work a little better. (fingers crossed)

All Hallowed Eve Festivities
Halloween is tomorrow. And, you all know what that means, costuming! Yay! I’ll be walking around all day tomorrow as Kiba from Naruto (just look at my avatar if you don’t know the character). It should be a fun day! My dorm is hosting a childrens trick-or-treat for the campus kiddies, so that should be fun as well. And, the Anime Club will be holding a party. We’ll meet in a lounge on campus and play DDR, possibly watch a movie, eat candy, and just be anime idiots dressed in costume. What else could you ask for on a Halloween night? I’m looking forward to it. But, one thing that most of you don’t know about is my plans for this coming weekend. This coming weekend, most of the Anime Club and a few others are going to be traveling to Norman, Oklahoma to attend Cos-con! It is a small anime convention. It’s gonna be a blast! There are something like 12 of us going. The convention only lasts two days, and there isn’t really a lot to do, but it will be fun anyway. It’s going to be so much fun! Heh heh!

Well, that’s all I got. Did that suffice for a post of a relatively boring weekend? I think maybe. Yes, yes, I think maybe. I wish you all a wonderful day! I hope you have an awesome Halloween tomorrow, and be safe! See y’all ‘round TheO! Sayonara!
