The Wonderful World of Catch-Up or Chicken and Pizza

Let's see... Wednesday night I hung out with Dave and watched Akira Kurosawa's "Dreams." It had its moments but on the whole was a much better visual film than anything else. It was a collection of short stories that apparently were actual dreams Kurosawa had. Some of them were awesome and some sucked. The sucky ones tended to be the ones that hit you over the head with their themes. Like the post apocalyptic one where all the characters would look directly at the screen and say things like "if only man had realized the folly of nuclear power!" UGH!
Thursday I ended up having to work till midnight as all the freight was backed up from the blizzard. My job turned into a disaster area as two days of backlogged shipping was piled up everywhere. Oh yeah.. I also donated my old stereo to the CBC garage sale for Winnipeg Harvest. Hopefully it gets some good coin to feed the needy and stuff... While I spent about 180$ on it only 4 ish years ago, it didn't really play CDR's and was a shining example of "excess" in my life. I wanted a stereo with a remote so I could lay on the bed and not have to get up to change tracks or albums... Talk about lazy... It was my example of the needless consumer convenience lifestyle that sometimes pops in... Getting rid of it is a statement! Well... maybe if I were to over-dramatize the event it would be... I was just thinking of getting rid of something that I did not want and if that can help out someone else, even better!
Friday night, after work, Jay and I ordered some chicken and pizza from Papa Guido's. The place makes a damn fine (and cheap) meal. They're open till 2 am and as long as you pick up, are VERY reasonably priced. Even delivery is not bad! While scarfing the unhealthy food, we watched the Tenacious D TV show and the Vincent Price movie "The Last Man on Earth." Both of which were good. The Price movie was the basis for "The Omega Man" and seemingly for "Night of the Living Dead." It had some problems, ie) annoying voice overs and a too long flashback sequence, but on the whole was good stuff. What can I say about Tenacious D other than fucking funny.
I am thinking about getting a new TV... there are some good deals this weekend at the various electronic retailers, but I am just not sure that I feel like spending ANY money right now..... hmmmmm.... I guess it doesn't hurt to do a little shopping around and what not....
