First off, I want to say congratulations to one of my best friends Emily for auditioning and making her medical school's a capella group "Say Ahh!". She's an AMAZING performer and I'm so happy she is pursuing both her passions: music and medicine.
My computer is still acting crazy. I'm really frustrated because when I called Apple's technical line the guy told me that my warranty expired which includes phone help. So needless to say he couldn't help me. He also added that even if I still had a working warranty my computer is old (4.5 years??) and he wasn't educated in the model. He did give me an address to a place around here that does work on Mac's. Hopefully the store is open tomorrow. I don't know what I'll do if it's only open during the week since it is not near the station at all.
Enough about computers. Thursday night I went to see "W". I must add that I was extremely tired by Thursday and didn't stay asleep during the entire thing. I kept falling in and out of consciousness. It's hard to comment on the film because I don't really know what happened during White House meetings or whether or not things really happened the way Oliver Stone portrayed them too, but I will say Josh Brolin had George W. down. He played the character perfectly. The voice, mannerisms and above all W's laugh! On the other hand, Condoleezza Rice was somewhat creepy. Her character just came off really odd. Now, all of us who attended the screening did agree that we felt bad for George W. The movie had a way of reminding viewers (us) that he is just a regular person trying to make the best decisions for the county. He doesn't have super powers, but instead makes mistakes like you and I, unfortunately some of those mistakes were shared with the entire country. And, knowing that his approval rating is dropping each day, I only hope that the real relationship he has with his father is NOT how it is portrayed in the movie. The absolute worst part of the movie: the ending! In a nut shell, save your money and wait for it to come out on video.
Last night I attended a hockey game with a couple of co-workers. The Ams were playing Seattle and someone from the station offered us tickets. It was a nice way to unwind after a long week - cheering for a group of grown men slamming each other into the Plexiglass walls.
Today has been quite low key. Not surprising since I slept until 11:20.... oops! I never realized how much time I use to spend doing homework.... I really need to get a hobby ;)
Enjoy the weekend
