Lars and the real girl

Lars and the real girl, was an interesting movie of something that didn't expect. From what I knew of this movie I thought that this was a comedy that would make fun of the main character for falling in love with a doll.  The reality this movie was not that.  It turned out to be a very heartfelt comedy about a guy with delusions, in a small town community that came together to help him.  It was rather touching. One of the surprising things about this movie is how this inanimate object actually has personality and how the community embraces the doll to help Lars out. Everyone in the town goes along with Lars, believing that she's a real girl. They go pick her up, take her out, and have her be involved in the community.  It's an amusing and a very endearing story.  If you haven't seen this one, yet, I highly suggest it.

Indiana Jones/Iron Man

I went to the drive-in with my girl friend last night for a double feature of Indiana Jones and Iron Man for $6. We were excited to see the new Indiana Jones but it turned out Iron Man was the much better movie.

Indiana Jones was a fair move but there was some very unrealistic aspects  took away from the film and this one is centered around aliens which I didn't care for. I hope for the sake of the series that they don't make anymore at least not in this fashion.

Iron Man was a much better than I expected. It didn't start until about 11:45 pm and we were both tired. We deceided if it was crappy we would leave in the middle of it. We ended up watching the whole thing and it was a great movie. If you like any of the recent comic book movies then you will like this one too. It was well done with good humor and believable action sequences.

Firefly

I recently watched the first 3 episodes of Firefly. This is one of these shows I heard great things about but never wanted to buy the dvd's without seeing any of it first. Lucky for me I just got netflix as a gift and started watching it. I really like the show so far as, it keeps a decent pace with plenty of action and has my new love. By new love I mean, a girl I will never touch in real-life but is some sweet eye-candy. Her name Jewel Staite, I can't get enough her. Remind me to thank the girlfriend again for my netflixs subscription

My 30th Birthday

This past Saturday I turned 30.  I am the young one of my group of friends and by young one I mean they beat me to 30 by a few weeks or months. Not really a big deal but I am the last of my close friends to turn 30. The fact that it was Easter weekend made it even better because my best friends Cranefolder and Raste both came into town for the holiday (visit with their families) and my birthday.

We had a small gathering for dinner at Macaroni grill with wonderful conversation and plenty of laughs as usual. The waitress sang and extravagant rendition of Happy Birthday to me in Italian. Afterward we went back to my place for some Cold Stone Creamery ice cream cake. Ummm chocolate cake with cookies and cream ice cream, O’ so good! Then we proceeded to drink a few beers and play my birthday present to myself, Rockband. Cranefolder got me a second guitar hero guitar so we could have a bass player and so I could now get the GH games without buying myself another guitar. Lucky for me Raste gave me a gift card to gamestop for my gaming pleasure, now the tough choice of GHIII or the orange box or possible wait for something else to be released as I have plenty of things to play currently with lots to do in RB and battlefield beta starting this week. On top of all of that my girlfriend got me a subscription to Netflix, which I am very much looking forward to, and should have movies on the way now. It was fun times had by all at my birthday party.

MS even game me present by asking me to change my gamer tag again, (see previous posts for more details) which for the moment is RattBaastard.  I expect another change soon.

Round 3 with MS

This past weekend I purchased Rock Band for as an early birthday present to my self, which is an awesome game.  However, that is not the point of this blog. As I was playing I notice my tag was not logged into xbox live. I tried logging on and with not to much surprise at this time I was requested to change my gamertag again. I mentioned in the last blog that the crap flinging microtards were getting faster at making me change my tag, yet this time it took them nearly two months before asking me to change it again. I tried a few different ways again but it seems even more have been blocked now.  The best one I could get from my previous RatBaastard2 is XxRatBaastardxX.  I am still amazed that it took them over a year ask me to change it. Personally I don't think RatBastard is a name that should offend anyone.  For now I will continue to keep RatBaastard  in my tag name until they ban my account for a few days.
