Festivities kicked off Wednesday night when Jack, Page, Eamonn, and I got together for a pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving meal. Jack supplied a @#$%!@$^!@# AWESOME turkey that was stuffed with... stuffing. Page supplied green bean casserole, cheesy potatoes, sausage balls, and pumpkin pie. Eamonn & I brought rice and gravy... I felt like such an underachiever. However, to my credit, the rice was unreal. By the time dinner was over, I am willing to bet I was 8.23 lbs heavier. I could barely move. For that reason, I really shouldn't have gone to the bar afterwards but peer pressure will get you every time (if you're of low self esteem and willpower like myself). We ended up going to the Clarendon Grill which was not all that fun- I think you have to be with at least 6 other friends and be pretty hammered to have a good time there. All in all, I give Wednesday Evening a 4.82/5 thanks to the AMAZING food.
Thursday night was a good time all around. It consisted of:
1) Guitar Hero/Rock Band!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, I had not played these types of games for a while so I was incredibly pleasantly surprised when I found out that GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR had come out- Basically, it is the same game as Rock Band except it uses a WAY more badass drumset:
Do you SEE the dual cymbals?! How awesome is that?! My crowning achievement of the night was playing "Beat It" on the HARD difficulty. I have a new respect for drummers now because my arms were pretty tired after that song. Anyway, after Guitar Hero World Tour, we watched one of the most badass movies of all time:2)
YES! POINT BREAK! Point Break is possibly the sweetest movie ever. Also, please note that we did not just watch Point Break, but we watched the PURE ADRENALINE EDITION! I don't know what the difference is because even if you were to watch a Japanese dubbed version of this movie and couldn't follow the plot, your heart would still be going about 1230948 beats per minute due to the superintense action. Why is this movie so awesome? Let me count the ways:
1) Hot female lead? Check.
2) Keanu Reeves? Check.
3) Keanu Reeves' character having a totally sweet name? (It's "Johnny Utah") CHECK!
4) Surfing? Check.
5) Bank robberies? Check.
6) JUMPING OUT OF A PLANE WITHOUT A PARACHUTE?! CHECK!!!!
7) Gratuitous use of the words "definitely" and "radical"? Check!
I mean, even the Red Hot Chili Peppers make a cameo! If you have not seen this movie, you are a terrorist, and nobody likes a terrorist.
For your viewing pleasure:
Friday night was relatively laid back. Jack, Eamonn, and I got some Indian food at Tandoori Nights in Arlington, and then watched "Hot Fuzz." Not much to say about this movie other than it was kindof funny, really long, and probably about a 6/10.
ALTHOUGH, it did have one great scene where it was making fun of "Point Break"- this was probably 10X as funny as it should have been seeing that we had just watched "Point Break" the night before!
Saturday has been an up and down sort of day so far. I realized that sometime around Friday night, my computer had been infected with spy/mal/shitware so that now I get these annoying pop-ups every minute or so. SO, this morning, I spent a couple hours installing every spyware killing program known to man. I don't think it's completely solved the problem but at least its manageable now. I swear that I am never going to buy a PC again!
After the computer debacle, I started looking at new phones. I'm torn between going to Verizon and getting this:
OR going to AT&T and getting an iPhone.The Verizon route is $50 for the phone, and $50/mo for a substantial amount of minutes and unlimiting texting.
The ATT&T route is $300 for the phone, and $30/mo for unlimited data+$40/mo for the voice plan + $5 for 200 incoming/outgoing text messages which = $75 total/mo. BUT, since I would most likely exceed the 200 text messages, I'd be looking at about 80/mo.
SO, in all, over the course of a 2 year contract, it's about $1000 more for the iPhone. And that's assuming I don't accidentally kick it into a pool or something. I'm not beyond doing something stupid like that!
While I was researching phones today, I stumbled across a really funny Yahoo question-

Please look at it.
Anyway, I actually went to Best Buy today with the intent of making a spontaneous decision about going with either Verizon or ATT, but instead I ended up buying Fallout 3 for Xbox 360.
For those of you who don't know, Fallout 3 takes place in a post-apocalyptic DC- note the crumbling Washington monument in the picture above. I'm really hoping the game involves zombie-killing but I guess I won't know until tomorrow when I pop it in. I'll keep you updated.On tap for tomorrow is:
1) Chelsea-Arsenal soccer game in the morning
2) Packers-Panthers game in the afternoon
3) Zombie killing (please!)
Should be a good time!
