Watch Out for Wet Floors!

akin to pagemaster!
---
So yesterday at work I walked into the refrigerator room to grab a large ass bag of pepperoni. Since we get restock deliveries on Tuesdays, I couldn't see any bags on the shelves and so I reached up to the top shelf to grab a box of pep to open. Little did I know, there was a bag of pepperoni on top of said box, and when I slid it off the top shelf, the bag came falling down and smacked me right in the head. Ouch.

So this got me thinking.

What if the floors had been a little more wet, or that bag was a little bigger? I think I would have gotten knocked out. Similar to what happens to Macaulay Culkin in Pagemaster. The designs on the packages would have come to life, jumped out at me, and then turned me into a cartoon character. Oh, and Patrick Stewart and Whoopi Goldberg would voice my food themed friends that escort me through this animated pergatory.

Seriously. I believe this would have actually happened.

A Movie Review

dragonball evolution
---
So last night the movie Dragonball Evolution got leaked, in English, onto youtube. Since it was about 2 a.m. and I was bored as hell, yet not tired, I decided to browse the /tv/ boards. Lo and behold, there was the link. So I decided to watch it.

After the first 10 minutes, I thought to myself "Well, this isn't that bad. Maybe I'd see it in theaters with friends." There were the standard deviations that occur when translating a 10 year old anime into a live action film, so although not blown away, I could accept the movie for what it was.

Well, it only went downhill from there. The poor quality of the video, combined with intense fatigue from the previous days of punishment at work and school didn't help it in any way either. With about 35 minutes left of the movie, I decided to IM a friend of mine to share some of the pain with...

La la da da da...

flip the trap
---
I skip class a couple times a week now. I don't even care or feel any sort of remorse or obligation. Out of sight, out of mind I suppose. It's been a couple weeks for my bullshit LIT class, so I think I'll go tomorrow just because it's been so long.

I've been thinking of creating a pen name for myself, but make him 45 years older and have him die soon with all of his works unpublished. This way I'll be able to have a career that is entirely posthumous, yet still get the benefits of all the fame and money at the same time. Ridiculous yet awesome.

I need to get out on some sort of vacation, or at least out of my house during the daylight hours. The past couple months have been a blur of school, work, and sleep, with all of my free time and leisure taking place when it's dark out. I need to brighten up my life because it's making me slow and depressed.

I had something funny to add, but it escapes me for the moment...
