Well, today started off kind of sluggishly. Whenever my brother's home he takes over the tv and he makes us watch the most ridiculous trash. He's 22, but for some reason he and his pal made us watch 2 hours of Nick Gas. Sure, it's sort of nostalgic to watch childrens' game shows from the early 90s, but such nostalgia should only last about 30 seconds, not 2 freaking hours. Then, once ESPN came on and I ran out of productive things to do, I decided to toss in a movie. Evidently, my taste in movies is as weak as my taste in music. Brian and his buddy ran down my list of DVDs labeling everything from Underworld to 28 Days Later to Before Sunrise and Before Sunset to Misery to Citizen Kane with the moniker of "suck". That's right, Citizen Kane is a "so-called classic" that "sucks". Anyway, I watched Training Day, another movie off the Suck List. However, I thought it was great, Denzel Washington definitely gave an Oscar worthy performance. Then again, what do I know? I loved Gone with the Wind, yet another film off the Suck List.
In the evening, I hit the Apple Store for the big Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) release event. I have contacts at the store, so when I arrived at 5:58 PM, 2 minutes before the doors opened, I got to go in first, thus ditching the entire mile-long line that had been building for several hours previous. I also got to skip the ever so long register line. I almost pity the line people, almost. I'm absolutely LOVING Tiger, it's got to be the greatest OS update ever. We Mac people are crazy, but it's a fun, stylish kind of crazy.
