The "How Was Your Day?" Thread

[ASR]

That's the second time you've made a post like that.

You need to understand that in Michigan, 3 inches is like... a rarity. I'm used to snow up to my knees, anywhere from 7-10 inches. I still needed to point out that there was snow, though.

Actually, in Michigan, there could be 3 inches one day, 10 inches the next, and then absolutely no snow the day after that, and then 2 feet the next day right after.

Oh, and the past weekend, a bunch of us randomly decided to go the movies, but nobody checked the times or anything so the only things playing were "Definitely, Maybe" and "The Bank Job."
We saw "The Bank Job", it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

The reason I'm talking about movies is because someone JUST brought to my attention a new Simon Pegg movie coming out later this month.

"Run Fat Boy Run," it's called. Nobody tells me ANYTHING, I have no clue how I never heard about this. From what I've seen, though, it's not by the same "team" as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, but I'm cool with that. Still looks funny.

[Mikero]

"Run Fat Boy Run" was advertised when Hot Fuzz came out in North America. The trailer was on Hot Fuzz in theaters too. I don't know how you missed that either.

I just saw "Never Back Down" on a free sneak preview from work. But I'll talk about that somewhere else.

That's the second time you've made a post like that.

I'm not about to stop.

[ASR]

"Run Fat Boy Run" was not advertized in the trailers before Hot Fuzz nor did the trailer make any appearances on the DVD.

I went to see Hot Fuzz in theaters April 12th last year, on my birthday. I believe it came out April 10th. I would remember if there was a trailer for another Simon Pegg movie.

How would you know about North American advertisements anyway?

Either way, I don't care, I'm just psyched.

[Mikero]

It was advertised in trailers when it came out here.

I know about North American advertisements by living in North America, smarts.

I have retarded FCAT, and 9th and 10th graders have to take it. Everyone else heads to their homeroom.

I got permission to go to a different homeroom with some friends. For 3 hours, we played Melee.

Tommorow's gonna be about the same, so I volunteered to bring in Brawl, thus why I've been playing it nonstop.

[Mikero]

Kill me. Kill me quickly.

...?

Anyway this was the snow on Sunday. My car and outside my place. Some guy in my city piled the snow from his driveway into a 20 foot wall. And then he put on a homebrew robot costume and shoveled more. No I don't know where in Ottawa and I don't know him, I saw it on MTV.

[Abominator]

Run Fat Boy Run is not particularly good.

[Johncarllos]

That snow looks light and easy to shovel.
Was it?

[Majikn]

Snow is snow. When it piles up, it's difficult.

Though it the sky wasn't exactly dropping huge wet snowflakes where I was.

[Johncarllos]

Snow is NOT snow.
There is the very light poofy snow that blows around a lot, then there is the real heavy wet snow that, when it accumulates, is extremely dense and difficult to shovel.

I like the light snow, it sucks for sledding, but clearing it out of the way is a piece of lie.

[ASR]

Kill me. Kill me quickly.

...?

I was ashamed at myself for confusing North America with USA and thus coming off as an ignorant moron.

Pity. I'll still see it, though.

That looks awesome, how about we swap snow for sand for one day? The last time I played in real snow was when I was 5 or 6 in Turkey. (I played in some artificial snow parks in Malaysia and Dubai, though)

[Mikero]

No, it wasn't light at all. Only 51cm (around two feet) of that snow was anything close to fresh, since it fell in like a night. But that was the morning and night after it fell, I didn't shovel anything until a few days later and that wasn't light in the first place. Had it not been the day Brawl came out I'd have been outside shovelling and scraping for hours with all the neighbours.

Run Fat Boy Run is not particularly good.

Didn't think so. Different team in charge, no? I'll still probably check it out.

Kill me. Kill me quickly.

Thought so but didn't want to assume.

If you shovel and scrape it and junk, sure. Though, I can't imagine how annoying sand can get when it's not confined. Like people that live during the dust bowl and out in the American southwest. I have enough of it when I hit the beach.

[ASR]

Yeah, Run Fat Boy Run is just a movie starring Simon Pegg, not a Simon Pegg movie as I'd call the others. Not stopping me from going to see it, as I already said.

Today I went and visited the Western Michigan University campus. Looks like I'll be going there. I'm pretty excited, too, because I liked a lot of what I saw. The food is supposedly really great there, and the dorm I'm picking is built into the side of the best cafeteria, so good news there.
It's really cozy. It's not small at all but it isn't enormous, and I really like the campus.

Still have no clue what I'll be studying, though.

[ChaosVortex]

God I miss playing with snow. Not the cold. Just the snow.

I swear I heard someone here say they would invent warm snow.

I'll hold it to you.

'Kay, so today I was watching Scrubs and Dr.Cox told JD "Nobody likes an angry punching bag." Then suddenly I thought about it, I thought "Didn't someone at Matrix once say that to me?" Then I started thinking about what'd be like if MMM were like Scrubs. I'd obviously be JD, duh. So yeah, then while playing Brawl I thought stuff like "Yeah, Rez would totally be Dr.Kelso." Then I was all like "Oh gee whiz, would Nova be Turk because he's my pal type guy, or would it be Mike for continuity?" After that I had to go mow a lawn and I stepped in poop. Then Lyndon got out and I had to chase him down the road, the only reason I caught him was because he stopped to smell poop. Then I had to carry him home. Now I have to go mow another lawn.

[Abominator]

If MMM were like Scrubs, I wouldn't have just paid for another 6 months of serverdom.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

And we'd be rich doctors who drink and get sex all the time!

Nintendo is now charging for repairs, EVEN if you have the warranty on it.

#####ing bastards.

[Vinchenz Rock]

So here is how my life was for the pst few days:

Yesterday I woke up with a lot of pain in my left ear. In fact, it was the reason I woke up, at 6:30 AM too. The pain eventually went away, after four hours I assume. After those four hours my ear felt like there was something blocking it, and a there was a constant LOUD ringing noise in it too. As I'm typing this it still feels that way.

Today I woke up coughing like mad. I mean, I coughed a bit for the entire week but today I was dying. I couldn't stop coughing and I woke up my dad a few times as I slept last night. I also developed a fever and felt like throwing up. Thank God for inventing Asprin. After the stuff took the pain away, I went to go see 10,000 BC. The movie was supposed to start at 7:05 but I was waiting for a long time in the theater before the movie started. I saw Jim Carrey's name pop up and I said to myself, "WTF?"

I ended up going into the wrong theater and I missed the beginning of my movie. A little pissed off but the movie delievered, and I intend to watch it again so I can see the beginning.

Right now I'm about to go lay down and play Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles for the DS. I just bought it ten minutes ago. Heard good things about it, hope it's worth the purchase. I still won't be home until tomorrow night but I really want to play Brawl again. XD

[Captain Sanoguchi]

...WIND would be the Janitor...

[preventerWIND]

I'll drown you in turpentine.

And my bad, I went to register another DS lite for repair, and they said they had to charge me even though it wasn't physical damage.

I have to call them tomorrow, their site changes too #####ing much..

Drumline competition today. Another 1st Place trophy!

We chilled at the high school hosting the competition for the whole day and explored the town. We drove over to a ski mountain. It was open and a few people were skiing.
We parked at the McDonalds at the other side of the place, and we set off to climb it. It was like 10:00PM and really dark, but they had those super-bright stadium-type lights on illuminating the other side of the mountain.
Now, there's really no snow out, so the whole mountain is like fake snow, but the side we were climbing was completely devoid of snow. It was around a 75 degree angle we were climbing, we made it to the top after 40 minutes and almost scared the ##### out of some guys near the top of the chairlift.

It was a magnificent sight, standing at the top of the mountain, on level with a water tower not too far away, late night with those bright stadium-lights behind us.

Beautiful.

Today, I put on a pair of coveralls.
They're way beyond comfortable.
Coveralls kick so much ass.

My Spring break ends today, and it's the last real break I'm going to get for a long time. Summer Break is going to be a joke, I'm going to have to get a job, go to Summer School and go to ACC to get some early college credit.

[NovaMan XP]

HAH! I get Spring Break this week. Well, it starts on Thursday anyway, and then I have the whole next week off too.

[ASR]

Thursday afternoon this week. Right after school, we're on Spring Break.

It's like we're one soul in two bodies.

That's cute.

I've got Spring Break next week. The 27th. Kinda odd.

This Wednesday is NRT testing, so all seniors and juniors go to homeroom for 3 hours. We're having a Brawl party hosted by yours truly and a cool teacher.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Spring Break ends for me as well. Ontario, Texas, and Australia all have the same school time things. It's weird.

But I still won't be going to school tomorrow. Sick like a mad cow.

ITS SIGMA!

[Mikero]

I've been busy. I have a lot to complain about. I'm not a complainer, though.

Scrubs isn't a good show, really.

[ASR]

I can normally see why people wouldn't like something, but Scrubs just seems like the sort of thing everybody should love... thus, I'm always baffled. Name anything else, I can understand, but Scrubs... it just takes more thought to understand why someone doesn't like it, but I guess there's reasons.

Anyway...

I went to Gamestop today. They have a used DVD sale going: buy 2 get 4 free. I made the mistake of telling my friends about it, so after drumline practice we all made a mad dash, each in our own cars, driving to the Gamestop down the road.
You see, the amount of actually-GOOD movies were slim, so it was first-come-first-serve.

I walked out with Zoolander, The Incredibles, Baseketball, Rat Race, King Kong, and American Pie 2.
I'm happy with that.

[Abominator]

Scrubs:

The "characters" are not likeable, so I don't care what's happening to them, and they're not even defined enough to make them relatable, or to make me feel anything towards them whatsoever.

The "jokes" are not funny.

The main guy eternally looks like he smelled something bad, just like Ellen and Owen Wilson (who may well be the same person, but that's a different topic altogether).

The theme tune is annoying.

It's crap.

[ASR]

Well, there I have it.

To me, it's a fun show. It's versatile and energetic and I like that.
When I watch Scrubs, I put on a different face than I do when watching other shows, meaning that I usually watch more than one episode at once and I'm not judging it.

To each his own.

[Rama Olendris]

Today I had two finals and I almost decked my art teacher. After Thursday I won't have any school until April, and between those two dates I'll be going to Sakura con.
