Weekend with the Ceej
Current mood: appreciative

This weekend I spent with my buddy CJ. CJ has been so awesome and a great friend. When I dropped my computer due to my back going into painful spasm, it stopped working. I called him to see if he could help me fix it but I guess I really screwed it up. To help, CJ mailed me his lappy and I sent him mine. He payed for the shipping and everything. He's been working on it for me and is determined to get it fixed or at least save the info on my harddrive.

In celebration of my return we planned some time for us to hang out and have some fun. Our plans basically included waffles, a movie, and an evening of talking over drinks. CJ came over Friday evening where he worked some more on my lappy. We then started watching some signs, concocting interesting drinks, listening to music, and talking. We talked all night. We talked about anything and everything, including our sob stories. It was good. It was nice to just open up and let all the crap out, on both our parts.

The next morning.. er.. afternoon, we went for waffles. Sadly, this world does not make plain waffles anymore. They only seem to come in the Belgium form and apparently are no longer served after 2. Bastards. So instead i went with a country breakfast of Eggs, Pancakes, Sausage, and the little potato cubes. I love the Potato cubes. So crunchy and salty and yummy goodness. CJ had blueberry pancakes. Post breakfast, CJ and I went to Target where I purchased a new bookshelf and a vacuum. Yes Clint.. I now own a vacuum! Hah! We took my new things home and assembled them. It was tough work but fun. I felt like one of these t.v. advertisements or shows where the young married couple is trying to put together an entertainment center and they end up fighting and breaking it. But my bookshelf turned out beautifully and I'm quite pleased with it. It's a deceent bookshelf for being only $25. Now I have more space and am a bit more organized. Yay!

We topped off the evening with a quick dinner at Taco Bell and watching the movie, The Descent. Now, I can't say that the movie was good, but it wasn't bad either. It was definately wierd, kind of creepy, funny at some points because it was so strange and unbelievable, and interesting. It also wasn't very consistent in certain aspects. But the movie had great shock spots with things jumping out unexpectantly and gore. There was good action and intensity along with suspense and killing. Lots of gore. Not too much but good. I mean, the main girl swims and hides in a pool of blood. She walks around in shock which is very Carrie-esque and in some ways, The Descent had a very "Aliens" feel. Though I don't suggest everyone rush out to see the movie, if you have any inkling to go see it, then do.

We had a wonderful time and it was good to see CJ. I hope that we'll be able to do more fun stuff together in the future. I really appreciate all that he's done for me. CJ is a great friend and deserves the best.
