Christmas was Ok....

    Christmas ended and hour and a half ago.  I got a bunch of what I wanted.  It was a fairly good Christmas.  For the first time in as long as I can remember we ate Christmas diner at my house.  We usually eat at Bun's but she didn't have it in her to do it all.   Bun was really unhappy at times today.  She has been really upset since Grampy died.  She loved the framed picture of him I gave her for Christmas, but I knew she would.  Once again she asked me if I wanted to sleep over, I didn't again, she doesn't want to be alone I think.  For Christmas I got:  

• Robot Chicken Season 3 on DVD
• ATHF Season 6 on DVD
   
• the DVD Bender's Big Game
   
• 2 pair pajama pants
   
• a little MP3 speaker bag thing 
• the book MAD About Politics
   
• the book Napalm and Silly Putty by George Carlin
• 3 bottles of deicer for my car
   
• some Goldfish
• a gift card for the Searstown Mall (it will always be Searstown Mall)
• a AC unit that plugs in the cigarette lighter in my car
• a gift card to Burger King 
• $25 in cash (Bun gave me another $30 but I secretly gave it back to her, she doesn't know yet)
• a t-shirt that says "There are 10 types of people.  Those who understand binary and those who don't"
• a small Root Beer Float scented candle

I think that is it

Christmas is different

    This Christmas will be weird.  My and Jessie won't be together, but we weren't together last year either.  But it will be more so weird because Grampy is gone.  Bun is upset, she won't talk about it, but she is.  She is having a rough time with handling it.  But I know she will love the picture of Grampy I am giving her for Christmas.

I DUMPED JESSIE!!!!

So yesterday I broke up with Jessie. I just couldn't deal with her anymore. I always knew we wouldn't last. I knew for a long time that I would eventually snap and break up with her. Well I snapped! It feels a little weird. It feels like I have this little whole in me now, but at the same time it feels like a 2000 lb has been lifted off me. It feels right. When she was fun she was really fun, but when she wasn't she was unbearable. It just isn't worth it. She is just so immature and irresponsible and is always constantly pissing me off and hurting me. If I could find someone that had just some of the good qualities she had and none of the bad that would be amazing and I am sure I could find someone. I am no lady's man, I am no charmer, but I think I could do better.

Not having power sucks!!!!!!

    This weekend was crazy.  There was a big ice storm last Thursday night and we lost power last Friday at 2am and still haven't got it back.  I am running my laptop off a generator.  We lost cable TV Thursday night at about 8:30 and I thought that was bad, but the power went out at 2am.  We have two generators hooked up to my house and one to Bun's house.  We had the TV hooked up to a generator Saturday to watch DVDs and such and I turned it on at about 10pm and realized cable was back.  Yeah!!!  So I watched SNL Saturday, it was ok.  I was expecting more being as it was Amy Poehler's last show and Hugh Laurie was hosting.  It was funny though.  I slept at Bun's Saturday and Sunday night because she didn't want to be alone and was afraid the generators would go out.  Olga stayed at either Bun's house or our house since Friday because her house had no power or heat and we both have wood stoves.  Olga went back last night because she got power back, but we still haven't.  I think we are supposed to get it back tonight, hopefully.  I was supposed to have my Networking and Computer Security final today, but my school canceled, now my final is next Tuesday December 23, the day before Christmas Eve.  Bobby and Ralphie put both generators right outside the bathroom window at Bun's house with the exhausts facing the window and for a couple hours Saturday afternoon Bun kept complaining that she could smell exhaust fumes in the bathroom then in the kitchen.  Then at like 6pm the Carbon Monoxide alarm went off in Bun's house because there was Carbon Monoxide in the exhaust fumes.  Carbon Monoxide will kill you so we all had to leave, but Bun refused to leave.  Mom was freaking out.  Me, mom and dad all went outside and moved the generators and gas tanks away from the bathroom window.  Ritchie came over and said it was all ok now.  He even went to Loews and bought a second Carbon Monoxide detector and put in the bathroom.  It was cool it was a dual smoke and Carbon Monoxide detector and it talked to you and told you to leave the house there was a Carbon Monoxide/smoke threat.  So I went back over and slept at Bun's in case there was an issue with the generators.  Bun had one generator hooked up to just her refrigerator and the other to everything else.  At 2am Sunday morning I opened Bun's fridge and it was off.  So I ran outside and checked the generator and it was out of gas.  I filled it was gas, but I couldn't for the life of me get it started.  Almost everything in Bun's fridge has to be thrown out and she had A LOT of food in there.  I have spent A LOT of time on my project for Object Oriented Design and  Analysis, I added a lot to it and refined it and made it better. 
    I think that is all have to say for now.  This is by far the largest entry I've ever written. 

I SAW CHEECH & CHING LIVE!!!!!!!!

    I saw Cheech & Chong live in Boston on Friday with my old Friend Garrett.  It was really cool.  Their opening act was Shelby Chong, Tommy Chong's wife, doing stand-up.  She was ok.  Then Cheech & Chong came out.  They were hilarous.  They started the show with a recreation of the opening of Up in Smoke, almost word for word.  The part of the car was played by two chairs on stage.  Most of what they did was just recreate all their old bits they did in the '70s, which was perfectly fine with us.  It was kind of like seeing them back in the '70s, except for the Bush jokes and they jokes about Tommy Chong being in Jail.  A lot of the audience was drinking heavenly, which I wouldn't give a shit about but some people a couple rows in front of us would stand up and go buy more beer every like 15 minutes and when they stood up we couldn't see.  The show started at about 7:50pm and was over by like 9:40pm, which was short.  When we were leaving I was looking at their merch and bought a pin pack and the DVD a/k/a Tommy Chong, which I've wanted to see for a while.  There was a couple T-Shirts I really liked but their shirts were $40 and $50, and for anyone who knows me I would never pay that much for a shirt.  I figured I could just look on eBay for the shirt I wanted because I'm sure it's on there.  Then when we were leaving the building there were two buys on the sidewalk outside selling knock-off T-shirts for $20, so I bought one.  We took the T in and the last T leaves at 12:15 and it really wasn't too too cold in Boston so we decided to wander Boston until we had to catch the last train.  We wondered Boston from about 9:50 to 11:55.  We walked a lot of the streets around Tremont St., then we walked around the Boston Common, then we walked back up Tremont St. to the Burger King because we both really had to piss, then we walked down Tremont St. towards the Theatre District and walked from their to the Prudential Center (which is far).  We roamed Copley Plaza for a few minutes, the stores were all closed but we could still go in and get out of the cold, they we caught the train home. 
 

The movie Wanted was actually very entertaining

    So my dad rented the movie Wanted today.  I watched it earlier.  I originally wasn't interested in this movie, but I figured I'd give it a chance.  It was ok.  The movie reminded me a lot of Shot 'Em Up, even though I only saw like the second half of that one.  It was an ok movie, pretty entertaining, but extremely ridiculous.  It was such a guy movie, haha.  So many insane gun fights.  James McAvoy was actually pretty good in it.  Common was actually pretty good, he really wasn't in the film very much.  The film was very ridiculous and unbelievable, but very entertaining. 

My first update in a while: Grampy and some movies I saw

    I have gotten a complaint that I haven't updated this in a while.  Well since the last time I updated this.  My grandfather, who I was very close to, was in the hospital for 5 weeks.  He came home last week and was on hospice care.   (Hospice care is when a person is dying and they are just made comfortable and the hospice people help you with pretty much everything).  He died last Friday at home surrounded by family.  It was really sad but he wasn't happy in the hospital and wanted to die at home.  He seemed very at peace when he was home.  Click here to see his obituary. 

    I saw the new Indiana Jones movie, oh god what a disappointment.  For a regular movie it was ok, but as an Indiana Jones movie it was bad.  Why why why why why did they have aliens in Indiana Jones????  Come on!!!  Or wait I'm sorry they weren't aliens, they were transdimensional beings. But still come on that alone kinda killed the movie.
    I also saw Tropic Thunder.  That was very funny, but not nearly as funny as it was hyped up to be.  It was definitely funny though.  Ben Stiller really wasn't as funny as he has been in the past.  Jack Black is usually so much more funny than that. I was disappointed.  I read a review of the movie Role Models (which I've also seen) that said it was really funny, but wasn't as funny as Tropic Thunder.  No I definitely think Role Models was way funnier.  That little black kid was so funny.
    I haven't really bought any Christmas presents yet.  I really need to get on that.  I applied to the Newbury Comics in the Solomn Pond Mall and they said they'd call me this week.  I hope I get the job then I'll have more money to buy presents.
