Clerks 2

This sequel delivered where most do not. Sure it was sappy; sure it was predictable, but it applied closure to an amazing film. It gave real fans what they wanted: more jokes -- some witty, some raunchy; contentedness for born slackers; and the average snagging the ultimate babe.

This film basically falls into the romantic comedy category. It's a category I'm not ennamored with, but Kevin Smith made it work. Sappy, predictable, but somehow very watchable.

A Dream

Had a dream last night that people were trying to kill me at any cost -- shooting at me from all angles. Somebody was intermittently trying to stab me with a needle and saying, "I just can't tell you why."

I'm sure that's saying something about my subconscious. I did, however, eat some spicy soup before heading to bed. Perhaps my stomach was waging gastric warfare.

The Swamp

I didn't want to go there -- I'm not really up for the scene: Greekocity. But, my brother-in-law had been hearing the whispering of legend for most of his adult life. So, we went.

Server: Ya know, I can't serve you alcohol until 1:00

Me: What time is it?

Server: ... 12:25

{starts to walk away}

Me: Can we at least order our drinks...and maybe an appetizer?

Server: Oh, sure.

{We ordered a round of lemonades, water, hot wings and spinach artichoke dip}

Server: That'll be up shortly

{Thirty minutes passes while listening to much drunken hullaballoo and the fussing of our collective children}

{Appetizers arrive -- the wings are not so hot, the spinach artichoke is depressingly small...and yeah, still no mention of those drinks, but we order our meals}

Kim: Can you tell me a little more about the ahi tuna Salad?

Server: Um, {vapid stare} it's a salad with ahi tuna on it.

Crimes of Opportunity

Never underestimate your neighbors...or your router.

I thought my twenty dollar router wouldn't put out a signal worth grabbing. I was sure my neighbors wouldn't grab my signal. In fact, I doubted they even had laptops. But, you know what happens you when you assume.

I was bored and decided to do some investigating; you know, just in case. Turns out, I had five -- count them: five -- moochers on my router. A couple hours later, rest assured, they are gone. Still, I must confess...I'm a bit shocked.

Moronapalooza

This is why I don't own a gun as at times like these I might be tempted to use it.
