Aftermath

Well the Halloween game was last night. I think it went ok. It was probably our second best game. Last year's game was our best I think. This year's game felt like it was really thrown together. But I think everyone still had fun. Kurt was came to the game, so that was cool. I hadn't really seen Kurt since he got married.

Halloween is in 2 days or something. Yipee.

Nacho Libre was a pretty good movie. It was better than I thought it would be. I give it a 7 out of ten.

I also watched Slither. It was not as good as I thought it would be. The problem was mostly that it was too short of a film. The movie was good, but lacking. Nathan Fillion is amazing though. He needs to be in more mainstream films. Anyway 6 out of 10.

Good Lord, is it Saturday?

ZOUNDS!

I'm listening to the Wilco concert NPR recorded. It's a whopping 2 hours long. I was thinking about going to see Wilco in Springfield MO. I didn't, but apparently some guy who did got and stage, tried to kiss Jeff Tweedy and got punched in the face. Way to go Jeff. People who jump on stage during rock concerts deserve to be punched in the face.

Work was the suck tonight. I won't go into detail, but I will say I don't like the new guy.

The Halloween game is a week away. I have a lot of work to do.

I watched Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World tonight. I liked it. I haven't seen a lot of Albert Brooks movies. I've seen The Muse and The Rookie (is that what the one with Brendan Frasier is called?) Anyway, I liked it. It was subtle and somewhat unfufilling, but very funny. I think that's sort of his thing though. I reccomend it.

Is it still raining?

I did absolutely nothing this weekend. And unlike some people who revel in those kinds of lazy days, I always feel bad about them. I'm so unproductive during the week anyway, when I do absolutely nothing constructive on the weekend I feel tremendously bad about it. Especially with all the things I could have been doing. I did do some laundry, and I worked on the game a bit, but for the most part, I have nothing to show for the 48 hours between friday and today.

This week in Matt Essner

Musts:
I have to work this week, pay Semo lots of money, work on the Halloween game, work on School Work, clean the kitchen and bathrooms (before Wednesday when my Parents get back from San Diego)

Would Like to's:
Finish all the planning of the Halloween Game
Make some oatmeal cookies
Time Spiral Draft (Friday Night? Anyone!?)
See the Illusionist

I'm going to stop writing now.

The Cardinals are going to lose.

The Mets are going to score again and the Cardinals can't get runners on the bases. They're going to lose. Carpenter pitches tomorrow, but that doesn't matter. Weaver pitched just about as good a game as anyone could've hoped for Glavine just shut them down offensively.

Joe Buck is awesome.

Have you seen Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip? Yeah. Me too. It's kind of dumb. Not as dumb as CSI Miami, it's Monday night competition, but yeah... dumb.


Work is the suck.

I'm cold.

The End.

Blue is not my color

We had fun playing magic tonight. That's what happens when you have an Eric McLain there.

I bought God of War. It is engaging. It's a lot more fun than Devil May Cry 3, I can tell you that right now.

This weekend I finished all of my MC 101 projects. I have to take a test online tomorrow. I have to finish my Bibliography project for EN140 tomorrow as well. I also rented From Hell from Kent library. It's pretty good so far. I'm not suprised.

I went to 9 o'clock mass today and I was literally surrounded by the parents of people I went to school with. Mrs. Glosemeyer was sitting in the same pew as I, two pews ahead of us were the Medlins, the Lages two in front of them, the Buherles three in front of them, the VanGennips and the Enderles were in across the aisle, the Wittenborns and Wencewics (I have no idea how that's supposed to be spelled) were also there too. It was an impressive gathering of people whose children I used to know 4 years ago.

October. Oh Me. Oh My.

I haven't posted for like 2 weeks! It's crazy.

Well it's October, my favorite month of the year. The month of hoody sweatshirts and Halloween (2 of my all time favorite things). I feel like I'm really behind on my Halloween game. I have a lot of work to do, and only 3 weeks to do it.

I got my ticket to the Decemberist concert. Yippee!

So what have I done since last I posted?

I saw some movies.
1. Black Dhalia (liked it)
2. The New World (liked it)
3. The Exorcism of Emily Rose (liked it)
4. The Warriors (liked it)

I played Devil May Cry 3. (It was hard)
I kicked everyone's ass but Spants (as usual) in a magic tourney. I technically didn't play Kevin, but he stole my side board which is counts as an automatic loss for him.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Work is going to suck tomorrow. Adam isn't going to be there and neither is Pat. If the new girl shows up today, she'll probably be there tomorrow, but still.... Jay better stay or we better not have any mail or both. Also Pat is gone all next week and Wednesday is Adam's last day. But we are off on Monday.
