The Italian Job

Went to go see the Italian job today with bob and yash. It was pretty good except for the fact that they were driving minis. Those are the dumbest little cars ever. You can even see spiderman standing in the crowd for a split second right before the armored truck falls through the street (think fight club). It was so hilarious I couldn't stop laughing in the theater. The best parts of the night were definately after the movie though. Bob and I were in the arcade trying to find a game we could play for only a quarter (we failed) when there was this kid playing one of those racing games where you sit on the motorcycle to go. He was a dumbass and broke the game so the motorcycle wouldn't turn anymore and he got really mad and started to yell at the infernal machine. So I'm watching him scream at the game while the motorcycle dude in the game is flying off the track through trees and bushes in a straight line and I start laughing. He immediately snaps and starts yelling at me in a very serious punk-ish tone like he's going to beat me up, which makes me laugh some more. As Bob and I walk out as he's still sitting on the motorcycle yelling at us but can't bring himself to abandon the 75 cents he used on the game. People are way too emotional these things. Why is it such a big deal I laughed a little. It's not like I'm "insulting his honor" or something like that. All it takes is 75 cents to make some young stupidass lose all rationality. Pathetic.

Yet entertaining.

sigh

Tomorrow is my first day of work at Six Flags as a ride operator.  I have to go in at 9:30am and get assigned to an area.  I hope to god that I get put in the same area as bob, cause otherwise this whole escalade was not worth it.  Well, I had fun last time I worked there when it was Six Flags Ohio.  As long as I’m not in the Mr. Hyde’s Fall area I can live.  I do need the money after all, for plane ticket and quakecon and computer and so on.  Oh, I don’t want to do the superman or any of the kid’s rides either.  I called the park today to get my schedule and they told me i had to wait until I got there to get it.  Then they asked me if I could go in today.  I was like ‘wtf?’  it was funny.  I got out of it and played some hardcore RtCW:Enemy Territory.  That game is so fun its not even funny.  So good luck to me today, hope i don’t get owned.

Show me teh moneys

So a few weeks ago I got a job at 6 flags as a lifeguard. Funny, huh? Well, since they were no longer hiring ride operators, Bob (Akax) and I came up with a complex plan of being hired as a lifeguard (which is in the same category as ride op) and getting transferred before my training was over. Anyways, the hiring part is over, and I was supposed to meet Bob at the Skycoaster in 6 Flags World of Adventure today at 4pm for the next step of getting transferred. Unfortunately, this meeting didn't exactly happen. Apparently some people didnt go in and he had to work through his breaks. I found him an hour later at the go carts and talked with him off and on for the next 4 hours about what I should be doing. Eventually, I got the transfer approved and starting next week or so I am employed again as a ride operator and I can buy some fun stuff like a new computer, lcd monitors, and maybe a dv camera because Jo's is so leet. Anyways, it looks like Bob and my plan worked out pretty well, which is pretty rare.

And on a side note, always remember to register for Quakecon.

200 miles of disappointment

Had to start the day off with Six Flags training.  I’m trying to get a job as a ride operator there.  I couldn’t go to sleep the night before so I was really tired.  So the only thing that got me through that was knowing I was going to go to the Whempys LAN in Columbus afterwards.  Well, we all drove down in Tim’s car and after the hour long trip there were like 30 people there.  We didn’t want to pay $15 for a 30 person LAN for only 8 hours or so.  We went to Wendys to decide to go or stay.  We left, so the trip consisted basically of driving 200 miles to go to Wendys.  It was some damn good Wendys though.

Oh I’m such a blogsnob

Now I’m not a fan of the X-Box too much, but Dead Or Alive 3:Extreme Beach Volleyball is probably the only reason I would get one.  I went to James’ House Last night (this morning?) with Jo and Anthony because it had been a while since we were all together for an x-box party.  It was a lot of fun, and like all of our parties, it included a trip to Giant Eagle.  Even though there was much obnoxious-ness, it did not result in us getting arrested, so I consider it a success.  Jo actually let James drive his car which really surprised me.  I got in the car thinking we weren’t really going anywhere, but maybe I should know better by now.  We speeded off down 59 and turned around at the airport when we saw a cop.  The rest of the night was spent playing x-box, talking, and yelling (and spitting) at James’ neighbors.  I don’t share the same flair for getting into “trouble” as he does, but whatever.  It was fun.
