Day 39: Another review

Tuesday/Wednesday: Hrm…..what did I do besides work? Haaaaaa……errrrr, I don’t remember…..must have just chilled at home after work. Yes that must have been it.

Thursday: Today I had a meeting with my boss w/ the programmer I’m working with to show her everything we have done for the past month cause apparently she hadn’t really seen too much. She loved everything we were doing and wasn’t expecting us to be so far done. What can I say, the programmer and I make a really good team. After she told me she’s really going to look into getting me a stipend for the summer because she likes my work so much. Go home and went biking. Laurie is really nice and is letting me borrow her bike while I’m here and she finally brought it. Although I am really, really happy she brought me the bike, it’s a cruiser bike so it’s really different and slowwww. I felt like I had to fight with the bike just to get it too speed up. And the brakes don’t really work that great. But hey, a bike is a bike. I bike on this Oceanside path I had seen when driving to church cause it sounded pretty. Path turned out to be a path right next to the highway and the ocean estuary, so it was funny one side was beautiful and quiet and the other side was a noisy, crazy highway. And there were a bunch of homeless people chilling by the path too. It was an interesting bike ride.

Friday: For work today I mostly did gaming research which meant I got to play video games all day. After, my aunt and I met up with Anne and Gerine because they invited us to see The Last Airbender and go out to dinner. We went to some Japanese restaurant in the mall and I got sushi….I love sushi so much. It’s so cheap out here and it’s so tasty! Unlike in MN…Then went to the movie….I’m so glad I didn’t pay my own money to see that movie, it really kinda sucked but I knew that going in so I just tried to enjoy it. The scenery, costumes, martial artist, and special effects were good…that’s about it. At heart the issue was the script, the original story idea was not lacking(as the TV series and its popularity show), they just really botched the script. Then the acting really sucked too. And may I add, I found it to be a bit racist too? Like the evil people were all Middle Eastern look and the good guys were all white or very light colored Asian people. So yeah don’t even waste your time with this movie….I wish I had the 2 hours of my life back that the movie took from me. Though it did make me interested to see the TV show.

Now I’m at a Starbucks, procrastinating writing my paper for my Genesis class. I’ve just been putting it off and off but I can’t take my final until I write the darn paper. So here I am about to write.
