After yet another bland simple re-capping Film Studies lesson, I wandered into town and bought some stuff for Shelly and I to munch on.
She told me she misses the crisps from Home Bargains, so I bought her a bag of those, along with a Wispa bar.
I came home, straightened up my room - and Shelly arrived at half four.

We munched and played Guitar Hero.
I finished off the Easy career on Rocks The 80s and Shelly and I played a few songs on the co-op career.
We also did some work on her GH3 co-op career - but with me playing on Expert, both of us using older PS2 guitars - KNIGHTS OF CYDONIA.
So it was no wonder mam came in whinging and made us stop.

We switched to a quieter game: We Love Katamari and played a few levels - beating some of my older scores.
And yes, that damned Cowbear level continues to rile us both.

We shared a bottle of Jaques together and wound down, cuddling up to each other on my bed.
We spent a while laid on a pile of duvets and pillows on the floor. Before we could even get to doing anything ourselves - we could proper hear the bed banging about in the next room. It was so fucking funny. :)

I'm not a huge movie goer. The last movie I saw in the theater was the first Spiderman, and I think that was about six years ago. So, yeah.

I'm too cheap to pay for a movie, and even when I was younger and went to movies all the time we had to smuggle in food. We got real good at it, I got to where I could smuggle in candy and a full combo meal from Burger King.

Anyway, I decided to break my streak and went to see a movie today. I actually went to see Valkyrie. And oddly, it was a really good movie. I figured it would be ok, but it was really good. Especially toward the end, it was really rather shocking.

I have to say though. Does the theater have to be that loud? I mean, I really started to regret not bringing earplugs, especially when they started shooting. There weren't many people in theater and the theater wasn't that big. They could have pushed the volume down a little bit. My hearing isn't great, I didn't need further damage to my ears. And because of past issues, my ears are really sensitive. So every time someone in the movie fired a pistol I about jumped out of my skin. Oddly, there was no problem with them shooting rifles, just the pistols. Hm.

Anyway, yeah, if you like that sort of thing, I highly reccomend going to see Valkyrie. But it is certainly a history buff's movie.

Memo to neighbors across the hall: STAB.

Seriously, they've been screaming (literally) at each other for the past two hours. ENOUGH.

Am working from home today because of the icky, rainy, sleety weather outside. Also am expecting a package from DHL at some point, though who knows when it'll actually get here. Delivery people seem to move at their own pace that's completely different from the rest of the world. Also, I made a batch of chili and it's cooking in the crock pot right now. It smells soooooo good in the apartment. =)

Chloe is cracking me up. She's playing with a little pink mouse (after the death of the purple mouse) and every now and then shakes her head so the mouse flies out of her mouth so she can then go and pounce on it. So cute.

Okay, back to work.

I'm Queensland till I die!

I'm Queensland till I die!

I know I am, I'm sure I am,

I'm Queensland till I die!

 

<Bad Scottish Accent>

For I'm Queensland crazy,
I'm Queensland mad,
The Queensland Roar have taken away
The little bit o' sense I had,
And it would take a dozen strongmen,
To drag me to the door,
Because I'm a supporter of,
The mighty Queensland Roar.

</Bad Scottish Accent>

 

Allo' Allo' We are the Queensland boys
Allo' Allo; We are the Queensland boys
And if you are an A.U. fan surrender or you'll die,
Because I follow Queensland....

God I wish I was going to Adelaide tonight rather than Monday morning. Tonight the Mighty Queensland Roar seek to destroy Adelaide United's 6 match undefeated streak and their 4 match winning streak. The Roar are undefeated in 4 matches, taking the full three points away from 2 of them. Adelaide are on top of the table and playing at home, but 3 weeks ago we played the (then) Top-Of-The-Table Central Coast Marriner at home and came home with the win.

 

GO THE ROAR!!!!! COLOUR ME ORANGE!!!!!

Two thoughts after hearing Spoken play at a local church tonight:

1.  A thought for churches that want to hold rock concerts: Just because you have a worship band at your church doesn't mean that your facilities and equipment are suited to a rock show.  Even more importantly, just because you have a guy who runs sound for your worship service and it sounds okay doesn't mean he's qualified to do an event like this.

2.  A thought for rock bands that want to play in churches: Leave half your amps at home.  The room will NOT require it.  And, if that is in fact the case... DON'T USE THEM ANYWAYS!
