Ahh, Friday Night. Time to get crazy! Throw off the shackles of the work week! How did I celebrate the end of five days working for the man? IKEA! What is it about this place that makes me so happy? I wish I'd had more money to spend, because I just love it there. Getting the news that my condo has been postponed another two weeks didn't help my splurging ways. You know what else is good about IKEA? $2.99 meatball dinner special! Yum!
Then it was off to JC's for some video game fun. First on the docket: Super Smash Brothers! You know, I usually suck at console games, with a few exceptions, so I didn't expect to be great at this right away. But I thought: hey, it's a fighting game. I like fighting games. How bad could it be? Oh. Dear. God. When I thought I was winning, I lost. When I thought I was losing, I won. I was so confused half the time... It feels like a fun game, but I need someone to explain the mechanics of it to me. Didn't help that neither of my companions really had a clue either. Anyway, my favourite character thus far is Bowser, but I haven't really played through a lot of them (I wanted to try Link, but I guess I wasn't alone). We resorted to Tekken and Rock Band pretty quickly.
Later, we just flipped through the TV. After watching some ubiquitous soft porn on CityTV and ShowCase, we settled on Omen III: The Final Conflict. That's right: the power of evil is no longer in the hands of a child. Starring the future-venerable Sam Neill of Jurassic Park fame, this movie was.. just... bad. Oh well, great lines like "birth is pain, death is pain, beauty is pain" and "where's your God now, priest!" kept me amused.
We also caught about thirty seconds of this movie about giant killer bunnies (god, I wish I knew the name!). I kid you not. They even had slow-mo shots of a bunch of bunnies hopping menacingly in a cave. Stellar! It was reminiscent of a nightmare I used to have frequently in university, which had been appropriately dubbed "Pink Fluffy Bunnies with Cannibalistic Tendencies." I had a great flash cartoon of this phenomenon, but it has since been lost in one of the many formats of George. I totally would have posted it, as I still remember it with great fondness. If you know this movie, tell me! It's been bugging me all morning.
Edit: found it! gold. simply gold.
Great start to the weekend!
