Trip Weekend or Union Action?

This weekend, Erin and I are going to Minneapolis with my parents. This was sprung on me very suddenly by my dad who decided that we should all go to see that mecca of consumerism, The Mall of America. Having been there once before, I know what to expect. The last time was during the ECW bus tour of 2000 where Rob, Ryan, and I decided to see Gladiator instead of shop. This gave us virutally no time to see the sights. All I remember doing was checking out the Wrestling kiosk, Kay Bee toys, Lego world, and noticing that there were multiple copies of the same store in the mall. This time I plan on paying a little bit more attention to the whole place as I am looking for a few specific things. They include: Heroscape expansions that are not yet in Canada, TNA DVD's, and a track suit top that has "CCCP" on the front. (I noticed that in, of all places, a "Black Eyed Peas" video). If I happen to come across something else cool, I might just have to grab it though.
I found out that I was shafted out of a week's worth of shifts a couple of weeks ago. In conversations with the man, I was told that I might have to file a grievance to get paid the hours that I was due. I've never taken union action before, so this is a learning process. But then again, getting paid for doing nothing is always good!
The advanced creative filmmaking workshop that I've been taking has been going pretty good. The people I've met have been pretty ok for the most part and I think that the stuff I want to do should reflect favorably. It definitely seems like I have the least pretentious notions of what I'm trying to accomplish. Hopefully the stuff I've shot turned out so that I can rock everyone's world!
I decided to get back into GTA: San Andreas. I went away from it for awhile as I came across a mission that kept killing me. I ended up just beating the Ambulance stuff in order to get a larger life bar which did the trick. I've noticed that there are some control issues in that game, in articular the flying, but it's nothing you can't work around. I still prefer Vice City however.
Is it weird to be writing a comprehensive script outline for a wrestling feud?

Sorry I haven't called you in a bit...I'm kind of looking after two stores at the moment.

I'm hoping and praying that I get this Thursday off (if I don't, I'll end up having to do about 2 weeks straight of shifts)...so we should do something either Wednesday or Thursday night. I'm super bummed about missing Genesis on Sunday. The Survivor Series-style X-match should rule and Nigel McGuinness is supposed to be on the pre-show.

Does blogspot have a place to report bad members?
