Hey, we're in Septober now! I just got back from Matt's party, and before that we saw Rat Race (the gig's up, Matt.) It was pretty funny. I don't want to give too much away but... here's the plot. Okay, it's very intricate and thickens as the story goes on and it's almost hard to follow at some points. But the sudden twist at the end where you figure out that John is Alex's lover, it all comes together. No, actually, a few people are racing to get 2 mil. in a locker in Arizona or New Mexico or something. I'll tell you this; Jon Lovitz is the funniest one in the movie. You know, that fat guy who "invented the yellow pages" and plays the voice of the Critic (one of the funniest shows ever, WATCH IT!). Overall, it was pretty darn funny, with laughs every few seconds, but the plot was kind of

. It is a good movie, you should probably see it (the bad thing about this review is that the only people who ever visit this site watched the movie with me and aren't kept in suspense by any of this). Matt's party was kinda boring, cuz all he did was play PS2 while Shawn and I boycotted it. But there were some fun parts, like when he got my presents (a $30 value, you know) but other than that it was mostly me and Shawn watching Yellow Submarine (a pretty dumb movie, but at least it had a plot, unlike some other Beatles movie I know of... I'm lookin at you Magical Mystery Tour!

Hey, today I'm just gonna write a little article that may make Matt-O-Mac a little happier. You all may have noticed my continual dissing of Sum*41's new cd, but in truth, even though they are sellouts, their cd is actually pretty good, especially for punk rock standards, which are slowly disappearing. The only real punk rock is Rancid and Pennywise, but Sum*41 managed to do what Blink 182 did before they sold out, and I guess that's okay. I'm not sure where Blink 182 went wrong, but their new album is bad for Blink 182/punk rock standards. Hopefully Sum*41 doesn't do what Blink 182 did, whatever that was, and they stay rock.

Alot to say today. As Kal said my birthday was on the 2nd. We saw Rat-Race the day before as my Heather-wouldn't-be-able-to-come-over-to-my-sleep-over-party. Also Alyssa (who hasn't given me my present yet, AH YOU THOUGHT I FORGOT DIDN'T YOU), Chris, and Kal came. We saw Rat Race. I got the Linkin Park cd from Chris, two doors cds from kal, and VERY GOOD headphones and a 32 cd holder case from Heather (hers are the presents I use most often, if you can you might catch me with the headphones or cd case at school). The next day I had my sleepover Shawn came first (expected because he lives near me), Kal came second (Shawn came early Kal came on time), and Kyle came 3 HOURS LATE. I got from my parents a playstation 2 with Gran Turismo 3 and they're gonna get me another game when it comes out. And Kyle and Shawn both brought me ten bucks. SCHOOL. today (saturday) I went walking through Mystic with Heather, Alyssa, and Migitron (Amanda). We had alot of fun mostly when we were sitting and talking and when we operated a soda booth for the Taste of Ct. It was sorta like the bartender movie with Tom Cruise. It got VERY busy at times and we raced to put away new shipments. Me and Heather eventually split soda holder and she had Coke, Sprite,Blue powerade, and some diet coke. I had Water, Diet Coke, Yellow Powerade, and a small amount of ice tea on my side. The business was mostly even. Close to when I left Heather went walking around and so when I had to leave I didn't get to say goodbye. I had Alyssa tell her, but I heard she came to the booth about 2 minutes after I left. that's about it for now.
