Watched "Judge Dredd" this week on Netflix. The Stallone one, not the Urban one. It was . . . something. It's one of those movies where everything felt just barely under-par, like a root beer that's flat or a shirt with buttons poorly sewn on. You know what it is your watching, it's not bad, but it's arguably not very good. No wonder so many people didn't like it. "Son of Zorn" is awful. I love it though. Don't know why. I'm thinking about calling up the local comic shop I used to game at and ask them if they'd mind me borrowing one of their tables a few hours out of the week to play random people in pickup games of X-Wing, maybe MTG, or mini-instances or two of D&D. It'd give me something to do on my days off when I need to get out of the house (which has been needed a lot lately) and still interact with people in a meaningful way. I'd like to hope they'd say yes. If so, I think I'll advertise on Craigslist or something. "Bored? Got a few hours to kill on X Day? Come over to KickAss Komics and Games and play a pickup game with me. Pop and beef jerky will be on me. E-mail me in advanced." Is it weird? Maybe. But it strikes me as an easy way to reach out. Found the house of my dreams yesterday. I wanna show it to Dala this weekend but the economy seems very uncertain all of the sudden. It's bullshit. Right house. Right price. Good neighborhood. Horrible timing. I should buy a scratch off or two tonight. Maybe one of them will pay for the whole thing. College prices these days are bullshit compared to when I was last in school. Utter bullshit. So bullshitty. Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit. There goes that pipe dream. Speaking of bullshit, I was looking on volunteer websites this week. It's mind boggling how many places want unpaid interns for knowledge and skill based services. College credit aside, they're important jobs that take real knowledge. The people who fill those spots deserve to be paid. Otherwise, it seems really scammy to me. Other than that, it's been a week and not a fun one. I won't go into details but cute animal pictures and good vibes sent our way would be appreciated.
