you must tell them true stories, and everything will be well

I'm having computer trouble again, so if I don't post anything before Thanksgiving that's undoubtedly why. My laptop just keep dying on me with no explanation and now won't even hold a charge. 

Good thing I don't have to, you know, type a ten-plus page research paper in the next five weeks. Or write a million articles for the university newspaper. Or write/research for a speech. Or...

You get the picture.

Stupid technology. *kicks*

I'm almost finished packing and cleaning my room. Thank god. I move out on Sunday and classes start on Thursday, so if you don't hear from me for a while, I'm just getting settled in. I'll probably post something Sunday night though. 

I was really hoping to get another chapter of A Boy and His Car posted before I go to college, but the middle is being difficult. Character introductions and stuff. I was also hoping to post some more of Sam in Atlantis - also having difficulty with that. I also need to get started on my

My laptop's (mostly) fixed! Yay!



My co-worker really needs to give me my copy of Twilight back. I wants Edward! There's not enough of him in New Moon and he has to compete for page space with Jacob in Eclipse. *grumblegrumble*

I wants meh book back!

I hate it when one Young Adult series brings back my hope for the rest of the genre. There's only so much fictional teenage troubles I can stand.



I need to get to work. There's actually breaking news - someone may have drowned in the lake. Not a good thing, but I'll have something to report at least.

I did my civic duty today and got some brats trying to record Transformers on their cell phones kicked out of the theatre half-way through the movie. 

I noticed that the kid had his cell phone out during the previews and thought he was text messaging, so I left it alone, grumbling under my breath about the nerve I some people. I noticed that he was pointing it at the screen a little bit and the previews were showing up on his phone, so I pointed it out to one of my friends. Someone a few seats behind me got up and told the little bastard to put his phone away (he was holding it up rather high, actually) because it was distracting. He put it away and I did notice anything again until one of the earlier action sequences where he had pulled it out again and was actually recording the movie. 

Once again, I pointed this out ot my friend, who suggested we go get the mangement. I went because I had already seen the movie and a few scenes later, when he had his phone out again, he and his friends got busted and were taken out of the movie theatre. Apparently, he had taken a few pictures and a couple of videos, but no charges were pressed because it wasn't anything incredibly signifigant. 

The main manager of the cinema was disappointed about that because a federal charge would've gotten him a raise. 

Whatever. I'm just glad the little bastard was thrown out because I hate, more than anything, people who can't turn their freakin' cell phones off in the theatre and have to do shit like that to ruin everyone else's movie experience. 

Anyway, Transformers was just as good the second time around (I haven't go to a movie two times in theatres for a long time!) and now I must rush off to work!
