Christmas Eve Day & Night

took Grandma to see ‘Bee Movie’ this morning. it was pretty cool. we saw it at the Lighthouse Cinema in Pauatahanui. nice couches. great for seeing movies with a girlfriend…i guess. wouldn’t know :oP

went into Wgtn and picked Mum up, then dropped them off and stayed in Wgtn to meet up with Kate. we hung out at a cafĂ© for an hour or so. it was fun. i’m wondering if i should go up to Waihi for New Year’s…maybe i will.

Carl, Jon and Si came round tonight. we hung out and chatted and ate too many chocolates. went up round Woodman Drive and checked out the Christmas lights. they were the same as last year pretty much. watched TV when we got back home. they all left and i mucked around online. i may have found a site that can sell me the Gold Edition of Spaceballs on DVD. it’s not available in NZ anymore :o(

also, if you know of anyone or anywhere that’s selling the 2-Disc edition of Snatch on DVD, let me know…i want it.

this is why i buy DVDs when they’re released, unless i know a special edition is coming. they go out of production!

F’ing TV shows

went to EMC again today. did the same thing that i did yesterday. it was cool. i like being able to work on jobs that take a while. it means that i don’t have to repeat the same thing hundreds of times a day. makes the day seem a little less tedious :o) in a couple of weeks, i should have enough money to pay my parents back-rent for the past eight weeks.

don’t you love it when your parents try to “acclimatise” you to living in the real world by doing helpful things like charging you rent.

i need to move out of my house next year. bring it on, real world!

finished watching my Fastlane episodes when i got home. it sucked that it ended on a cliffhanger and then FOX had to go and cancel the show. boo FOX! $2.6 million per episode. just because that’s more money per episode than i’ll ever see in my lifetime doesn’t mean you have to go and cancel a show!

FOX has a great history of moving great TV shows to crappy timeslots, or showing episodes out of order, and then cancelling them because the ratings are dropping. Futurama, Firefly and Fastlane just to name a few. take a hint, FOX! put the F’ing shows back on TV!!!
