Went to Red Robin last night. Had some dinner. Was just going to drink (I’m hooked on sand in your shorts, it’s a drink that tastes like sex on the beach at most places only yummier) but then I was afraid I’d get hungry later in the evening so I went ahead and ordered a Royal Red Robin. They make the best burgers ever!
Our movie (I Heart Huckabees) didn’t start until 10:10 PM so we went and played some Galaga after dinner. I took some pictures. You’ll see them in my Flickr album. I was photo-blogging but the posts went to Nick’s blog. I’ve got my Flickr set to send photo-blog posts here instead from now on.
Anyway, Brian hated the movie. He just didn’t get it. Actually, I didn’t really know what it was about at first. Scott, our IT guy, told me about it. I watched the preview online. It’s got my favorite people: Jude Law, Mark Wahlberg and Naomi Watts (who looked really hot in the movie btw – until she had an epiphany and decided to start dressing like an amish farmer) so I figured it couldn’t be bad. It’s one of those weird movies that make you think so it was right up my alley. So maybe Brian (who hated and :fell asleep through: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) didn’t hate-hate the movie, but he certainly didn’t enjoy it as much I did.
Speaking of movies, I just got done watching Intermission (Colin Farrell indie film). I had to watch it by myself because Brian’s not really interested. I asked him if I could watch one of our Neflix movies (as a way of procrastinationg from doing FIN 340 stuff – but I omitted that part – I had to or he never would’ve let me) while he’s at work and he told me to watch Intermission because he wanted to see the other stuff. The other stuff being The Missing and A Cinderella Story. The Missing, I can understand.. But A Cinderella Story? He’d rather watch that than Intermission? Shows you what kind of taste he has movie-wise. Either his movie tastes have gone to the shitter or he just wants to oogle Hilary Duff. Let’s hope he just wants to oogle or I’ll lose all respect for his movie aficionado-ness.
Ugh. I’m making up my own words again! I hate that. I guess this is my cue to stop. Until next time..

The Shape of Things
Posted on August 29, 2004 by Ching under Life, Movies.
We went to bed pretty early last night, so now I’m up and can’t go back to sleep. At least I’m being productive. I’m paying off Victoria’s Secret and Express cards. Go me! Of course, it’ll only be a matter of two weeks before I max them out again. And then I’ll be trying to pay them off for months. I have been more responsible lately, though. Other than those two blouses that I bought for myself at Armani Exchange a couple of weeks ago, I haven’t bought anything for myself.
Mostly, I just get Brian stuff. Like the fancy Armani Exchange blazer that we got for him when we were in Kansas City; and then last Thursday, I bought him a couple pairs of bootcut jeans from Aeropostale to update his wardrobe. It’s the exact same style but different washes. One is a darker tint and the other is a slightly lighter tint. You probably won’t be able to tell the difference unless the two pairs of jeans are side by side but at least he has two nice new jeans to wear on Fridays and Saturdays. I get tired of seeing the old ones. He can just wear those for swordfighting or whatever.
So why buy two pairs of the exact same jeans? My philosophy is that if you find something that fits and looks great, you need to buy it in as many colors as you can. Some people will disagree. But me, being built the way I am, it’s hard to find things that fit. It used to be horrible to go shopping because when I was thinner everything I tried on looked good and I felt compelled to buy everything in sight. Now that I’ve gotten older and heavier, it’s more challenging to find things that fit that actually look good so I must take advantage whenever I can.
I wish I could dress Brian the way I want. I mean, I ask him what he wants me to wear and solicit his opinion all the time. I keep hoping that he would start doing the same, so it won’t be like I’m telling him what to wear. It’ll be just me giving him my opinion which he has asked for.. He’s always in these derogatory t-shirts and, don’t get me wrong, I love derogatory t-shirts and the humor in them but sometimes I just want him to dress more sophisticated. After all, he is thirty now. I want him to be the hot, older guy that everyone wants to shag.
Anyway, I wonder sometimes if I can pull off a The Shape of Things type transformation on Brian. I wouldn’t push my luck, though. He would bust me in a second and purposely go back to his grungy ways, just to spite me.

We’re supposed to do some house cleaning today. I doubt it’s getting done because we are both so lazy. Plus, we are planning on watching Hero in the afternoon and then swordfighting with Brent (and others) at Harrison Park in the evening. Which is good because whenever we swordfight I am so tired that I sleep really well. There is no room for insomnia tonight, as I have to be at work by 7 AM on Monday (at Lance’s request so he can setup my computer). I will finally be able to access and print login/logout reports etc.
I’m all for being able to do stuff.. I mean, I just want to make sure I have the tools and resources I need to do my job effectively because I don’t want to let anyone down.. So I don’t really mind having to come in so early. Besides, I’m usually at work a half an hour early anyway (even as a rep — I hated being late).. What’s another half hour?

Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse
Posted on August 28, 2004 by Ching under Movies.
There’s this new hot girl in RE2: Apocalypse. I was looking forward to seeing Milla (who I totally loved in The Fifth Element) kick some more zombie ass but now I’ve got another hot ass-kicking girl to watch.
Brian is so excited, he’s fixing to cream himself. Â

Vanity Fair
Posted on August 22, 2004 by Ching under Movies.
Vanity Fair comes out September 1st. I think I will insist that Brian take me. He won’t take me to see Little Black Book but I will definitely have to put my foot down for VF. I love Reese and it looks like it will be pretty good.
Anyway, we have to go soon because we are meeting my parents and Brian’s parents at PF Chang’s for dinner tonight. Our reservations are for 8:30 PM but we’re going to try and get there a few minutes early in case they are able to seat us earlier. Â

Movie Update
Posted on August 18, 2004 by Ching under Movies.
The last two movies we watched through Netflix are The Big Bounce and Miracle. The Big Bounce was kind of boring but it had some cool people in it: Gary Sinise, Morgan Freeman and Owen Wilson. I don’t know what it is about Gary Sinise, but I love him. And, of course, Owen Wilson is really hot in that goofy/dorky/slacker kind of way. The girl who plays the lead (not sure what her name is) kind of reminds me of Bridget Fonda’s character in Jackie Brown. Despite her walking around semi-naked for the entire movie, there wasn’t really enough story or sex to keep me interested. I almost fell asleep and was finally relieved when the movie ended. The only redeeming value of the movie was that Nancy got what she deserved in the end, which is nothing! And Jack ends up with the girl in #9, who is a minor character, not really that hot but is kind of sweet. I can totally relate to her character, the one that no one really notices.
Miracle, on the other hand was really good. I don’t know why I never wanted to see it in the theaters. After all, I love Kurt Russell. And I’m totally crushing on Jimmy Craig right now. He’s probably 50 now, but I still want to meet him. He was awesome! Of course, I wouldn’t mind meeting Eddie Cahill, the guy who played his character, either. He’s a cutie! Â
