A few weeks back I decided that it was time for a break. I had been working like crazy mad trying to get this CMS upgrade done and making sure the teams needs were met and generally taking on a lot more responsibilities. It was getting to me. I put in for some time off and man it couldn’t have come at a better time.

On Saturday someone wanted to come take a look at the house, so Maggie and I decided to occupy our time by going and seeing Untraceable. It looked half-way decent and we had about 2 hours to kill. Well, we would’ve been better off turning the car on, and just sitting in the garage.

This was a terrible, terrible movie. It was just bad in every way. There wasn’t any redeeming quality about it. The acting was bad; the story was full of holes and impossibilities. There was very little character development and it was rather predicable. About an hour in, Maggie and I both wanted to walk out, but seeing as we had already invested the time and the $12, decided to stay. I’m not so sure we made the right decision.

Either way, this was a sorry attempt at retelling Saw (only the first one, none of the other ones count), or Se7en. I would not recommend watching this, not even as a drinking game. Movies like The Core, Stealth, Mind Games, Armageddon, etc. have a certain quality about them that makes them tolerable. We’ve seen a lot of bad movies, and this is no exception.

In other news, the rest of the weekend was pretty good. The weather was awesome, we got the house cleaned, we got to play some Warcraft, and it was just nice to just relax.

Friday night I got to hang out with Jon Lee. We went to the Vortex and I got to experience what I can only describe as the best and worst burger of all time (the Elvis burger: Beef, bacon, bananas, peanut butter, and I added cheese dip and ranch for extra flavor). Luckily I only had 1 bite of that. Any more and I would’ve died…right there. After that, we hung out for a bit then went to the Claremont Lounge. It’s safe to say that this place has not changed since the first and only time I’ve been. It really is an experience.

Read above for Saturday. Sunday we sat around, then we decided we were gonna do our weekly long-run. I can’t express how proud I am of Maggie. She pushed herself farther than she ever had before. She ran like 4.5 miles or something. That’s pretty awesome considering she’s been having wicked shin splints. I only see her improving and that makes me happier than ever. I wanted to see if I could push my self to a 10k, and I did. It actually came out to something like 10.79k so damn! The only downside is that I may have sprained or caused a stress fracture in my left foot. If it’s not better by tomorrow I’m going to head to the doctor. It really hurts to walk, so we’ll see.

That’s about all I had. The post title, is a bit misleading, but eh, whatever. Bottom line is, don’t see Untraceable, but do go for a run. That’s it. Have a great week!

so vegas was balls. not reign of fire balls but talented mr. ripley balls. this was one of the most not cool vaccations i’ve benn on. and really it was all my fault. everything i could do wrong i did. everything that could go wrong did. it was a one string of bad luck after another. i reckon it was because i had such high expecctions of it but it was suckage.

i really do have a longer post about all the shit that was going on but i’m kinda tipsy so i think i’ll wait until i get a bit more under control to post about that. so tonight we watched biggest loser and project runway. and i have to say that i really lige bigges to loser. the girl Maggie on there looks like katie wich is really disturbing to me. but shes; still on the show and didn’t get voted offf. so that’s cool i reckon. but only becaus her name is maggie. i like dan. i think he reminds me of me when i was super fat. for those that don’t know i was pushing 310 back in the day. i don’t have any pics on line. well i do but i can’t fine it right now. or something. but yeah. i was chubasarous. but i’m down to a good 230 now. that’s still not where i want to be, but i’;ll get there one of these days.

i really don’t know where i was going with this. but i reckon i was going some where. magie is down stairs watching house at the moment. oh, project runways. that’s right. that show is still kinda cool. i’m pissed that kit got voted off. she was hella awesome, but somewhoe gay trucker hat got to stay. oh well, at least christian is still there. he’s a hoot. he’s got some pretty rad heair. i think rommy is going to go to the finals. he makes some pretty well tailored outfits. but what the hell do i know i’m just a fat ass that drinks a lot and. hmm. what?

oh, so i did some math and really i only ever drink alcohol, water and juice. is’nt that crazy? i’ll have a soda when there’s booz up in that shit, but usually it’s just water and liquor or beer or wine and water. right now i’m hooked on the wild turkey american honey. i think it’s wild turkey. is that a brand of liquor? i’m not sure. but i know it’s american honey. that shit is good stuff. it’s like barenjager but less thick. that shit gets up in your gears.

well, i think i’m gonna go lay donw. if i get home in time to get up in the morning to get home tomorrow night i’ll go for a jog. maybe i can beat maggie at our challeng. not katie maggie but cool wife maggie. i challenged her to a nother challege where i challenge her to a certain feat and if she wins then i lose. i don’t like to lose. it’s chester vs. jojo. my monesy’ on the cat. cat = jojo. well, i’m rambing and i think i should slee.

tomorrow (hopefyllly) i’ll get that real vegas post up, including pics of how we watching the monte carlo burn and how i watched the hover dam. night all!
