yesterday::

the atm ate my debit card. i suppose that's a good thing and all, seeing as i drove off with the plastic still in the dumb beast's greedy mouth. -50 moron points. i'm compelled to award myself +5 for discovering its absence a whole ninety seconds after the fact, though.

i continued my neverending battle with school's business office. +10 for making them stay late to fill out my paperwork and pick up a new waiver and an extra +15 for actually standing at the counter until one of the secretaries felt bad enough to wait on me.

+100 awesome points to my dad for duct taping the redbud tree back together after saturday's heinous wind-action.

-20 points for believing troy was actually going to meet my expectations. -30 for actually possessing any expectations for a hollywood summer flick. +2000 awesome points for the hector v. ajax and hector v. achilles duels. troy had the worst. score. EVAR, effectively ruining my appreciation of the few saving graces that miraculously found their way into the film. a brief review:: excellent fight choreography [with a few cheesed exceptions], passable CGI, spotty acting, mediocre to godawful cinematography, and craptacular screenwriting + directing. in a word, your-typical-summer-epic-blockbuster. first vocalization as the credits rolled:: "that was a western bastardization of . . . western culture. THAT'S a first." don't go see this film if you're a guy - orlando bloom is far prettier than whoever the hell played helen [although she does have a rather fine ass] and viewing pitt's nude form six or seven times will inevitably cause your self esteem to plummet to dangerously low levels. meh.

+25 points for trying to help griff install flooring at his new place. -50 for not having even a basic knowledge of powertools and +50 for being damned good at killing bugs [and rocks].

tomorrow's the day:: new computage parts will be mine! soon, i will take over the world [sorry sha - i'll leave you rhode island]. work:: 1430 to 0100. should be stupid awesome. i'll let you know if i get through the night without getting blood on my hands or, even worse, fired. hope for the best.
