Happy Birthday Ned!!!!

John, I'm glad you loved London. Just wanted to mention that where I was in England, it all shut down at 11:00. I'm talking "Ghost Town." After 11pm there was absolutely no one on the street left except drug addicts, vagrants, and Ben. (was that redundant?) I would suppose that in every major city that the night life continues. Even Manchester had a night life after 11pm, but it was too much of a pain for me to get there without a car and expect to make it back to my flat. I so wish that I could have made it down to London while I was in England. That is probably my biggest regret about my stay there. By the way, may favorite part about England was seeing so much history still standing and the Indian Food. Oh yeah, and being so close to Amsterdam was kinda fun too.

Well at least I got a start on a new df. Not too special, but hey, we can work with it. I didn't include you Ernie because I don't think your log is on the drunkenfish and I wasn't sure if you were going to be a jollyjibber or not. If you want to be a drunkenfish, let me know and you'll be up there as fast as I can get you there. That also goes for anyone who would like a blog on drunkenfish.org. Just let me know and I'll get you up there. (mindevol@hotmail.com)

I'm finding I like the Star Wars Jedi Knight II, Jedi Outcast better than I liked Attack of the Clones. The game is a blast. It gets about 10x more fun when you finally get your jedi powers and light saber.

I'm still in my in between travel, living out of my suitcase stage and I'm still not goal oriented or focused on anything. I do finally see the light of where I'm going to settle down for a little while and make a temporary home for myself. Downtown Indy! Mainly because I have a job here and until I find something else, I might as well experience downtown Indy. Move-in date is set for July 1st. I'm still waiting to be sitting on my own livingroom floor drinking a beer and sighing comfortably that I am home.

Happy Mother's Day all! I sent my mom a basket of flowers via the internet and she e-mails me back with, "thanks for the two baskets of flowers!" I'm thinkin'..."two?" They're 60 bucks a piece. "Ummm... your welcome mom." What am I going to do? Send it back. Anyhow, it's rare I do anything for me mum, so why not.

Here's some more movie ratings of stuff I've seen lately.
Training Day - 15
Ali - 35 (although Will Smith did a great job)
Behind Enemy Lines - 25
Another Teen Movie - 36 (yes I paid money to rent this, don't ask)
American Pie 2 - 40 (this one too.)
Spiderman - 12
Changing Lanes - 22

Also in the video games catagory with the same rating system but how many jack and cokes to be the best video game ever -
American McGee's Alice - 8 (finished it though in two sittings. worst part is the super cool graphically rendered big bad guys take very little strategy to kill except to run like crazy around in circles saving up for another big blast at 'em.)
Alone in the Dark (the new nightmare) - 26 (creepy, but I'm always getting stuck on something stupid you have to figure out.)
Triple Play - 20 (relaxing... this game has a definite jack and coke bell curve in it's favor because of how easy it is to play.)

Man, I would love to work for a video game company, Bill. I've always dreamed of that. Congrats! That's so cool. I wish you happiness, luck, and loads of cash with the job.

Happy Birthday Shari !!! You're a very easy person to like and be around. Can't wait to hang out again.

I rented 3 movies last night. 1. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - (Teenagerish crap, but that made me smirk about ten times throughout the movie) 2. Zoolander - (Had a smile on my face for most of the movie, but I never seemed to get into it.)
** by the way, I suppose I'm too intellectually challenged to make any meaningful comments about these movies, but this is what you get on wuhbuhduh.
... and the last movie, which had the same premise as Zoolander, but is in a completely different league was - 3. The Curse of the Jade Scorpion - I absolutely loved this movie. Granted I was a little drunk, but the banter between Woody and Helen Hunt reminded me of the old Woody Allen flicks. I laughed and laughed throughout this flick.
On Ben's rating scale - (how many Jack and Cokes do you need before this flick is the best movie you've ever seen.) -
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - 32
Zoolander - 24
Curse of the Jade Scorpian - 13

(please note that the above ratings are adjusted by adding the number of jack and cokes I've already had while watching the movie.)
