Well, I normally write about my weekend long before mid-week, but I got lazy. Anyway, I can’t even really remember what I did at this point! Oh yeah, I know that I saw Al Pacino’s new movie, Simone. I didn’t really know much about it, other than it was supposed to be a movie about a digitally created movie star. Actually, I suppose that’s all it’s about anyway! Overall it wasn’t bad—it was watchable, although a little odd in parts. I thought there were some plausibility errors, but I guess since it was innovative, it can be forgiven.

I also again washed my car, wooo!! Man, that seems to be all I ever do now. :) On Tuesday there was supposed to be the regular event with Kevin—not bowling, because the Orchid Bowl is closed until October for major renovations. Supposedly it is going to be really cool, with a cafe, an improved Galleon Room, and revamped alleys. We shall see. Anyway, Kevin didn’t have anything planned, but was going to call me, but never did. I guess nothing happened!

Today I took a day off from work to get my complimentary first oil change at the Ventura VW dealer where I bought my car. Technically it is supposed to be the 5,000 mile oil change, but I made the appointment when I bought the car, and so only had 3,500 miles on it. Unfortunately the service center is only open 8-5 M-F, so I couldn’t take it in unless I took time off. I made my appointment at 11 am, so there was no time to go to work before then. While I got back to SB around 12:15 and could’ve worked half a day, I decided against it, as any vacation is welcome. I used the time to finally purchase touch-up paint for those gouges in my car and to do laundry.

Oh yeah, I want to do a random rant. I made myself oatmeal today and decided to drink one of the two Snapple Peach Iced Teas. I randomly grabbed one, and when I returned to my room to drink it, I noticed that the little seal around the lid was missing—as was a quarter of the contents!! One of my damn roommates drank some of my unopened teas!!! I think it was one of the exchange students staying here briefly, because I didn’t have a problem with it before their arrival. I can’t be positive, however. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate roommates?? I would much rather live alone, or maybe live with people I knew and could say things like “Don’t eat my food.” Instead I hide out in my room and try to avoid all contact with the people I share a house with.

Ok, to cheer myself up, I will think about the fact that this Monday is a holiday—Labor Day! I have not yet solidified plans, but I’ll probably wind up writing about it after the holiday. I think that’s all I had to write about for now. Goddamn, I swear that my housemates are being SO loud right now. Quite obnoxious actually. Ugh….
