It’s technically Wednesday which marks the end of my Labor Day weekend. I have to head back to school tomorrow. The good news is there are only 2 classes left this week. I received an e-mail back from advising because I put in a request for a 21 credit hour course load this semester. The response was that based on my G.P.A. there was no reason that I shouldn’t be granted the “overload.” Might as well take as many credits as possible when the classes are so easy and enjoyable.
Saturday, Mom and I went to a matinee of Le` Divorce. I was hoping for more out of the movie but it was OK, worth the cost of the ticket but not buying. The acting of Kate Hudson and Naomi Watts was good, however the storyline tried to cover too much in a short period of time and seemed to lack direction at times. Final thought: wait for the rental.
Sunday, Mom and I went to Circuit City to check out all these sales they were supposedly having. They all sucked. Almost everything on sale at Circuit City, we either already have or isn’t worth the price they are charging. Some of that shit they just need to give away. Then we went to Best Buy, now Best Buy is having some good sales this week, plus we get Reward Zone points. I managed to get Mom’s Reward Zone points for her purchase to, so it’ll really ad up. I bought Wayne’s World 1 & 2 ($20), The Mask of Zorro (superbit), and My Best Friend’s Wedding (2/$20). Great deals! We ran into Vance & Rachel at Best Buy and had a good time catching up with them. We then went to the Shops at Briargate to check out the new shops. Dinner was at Qdoba, which was SO good. I would even go as far as saying it’s on par with Baja Fresh and you know how much I like that. 🙂 Mom rented 11 movies from Blockbuster this weekend (even though she’s a member of Netflix). We watched some new Steven Segal/Ja Rule movie and I’m sure you can guess how that was and then They. They is a pointless movie that doesn’t really even have a storyline. There are no name actors (minus Ethan Embry) and there’s really not an ending either. I guess they’re just leaving room for an endless string of sequels. Ugh. At least they were free for me to watch. 🙂
DVD day! I went to Best Buy and picked up a bunch of new movies including: The Fifth Element, Stand by Me, Weird Science, Ghostbusters, Air Force One, Desperately Seeking Susan (Wal-Mart), and Identity. I was also going to pick up Willow & Entrapment (pricematch) but Best Buy didn’t have them and neither did either Circuit City. I may just order them online before the sale is over. There were 3 DVDs that weren’t in stores today that were either being released on DVD for the first time or the price was being lowered. From DeepDiscountDVD, I ordered Fear, PCU, and Sleeping with the Enemy. Since I’ve been home I’ve just been trying to make a dent on watching all these new movies. Wow, 14 DVDs this week. I need help! 🙂 I just uploaded the DVD Profiler list so you can take a look at all 428 of them!
