boredom is more fun when shared

It shouldn't be funny. It really shouldn't. It's kind of dumb, actually. And yet. In other news, this is unrelated, moderately tasteless, and also amusing. Also unrelated and random, but less funny, here's me on the political compass.

At some point soon I have to wake my brother up and convince him to drive me to work. I suspect he doesn't want to be woken up about as much as I don't want to go to work, so I'm putting it off. No, telling you about it won't change anything, but it's too late now. :P

Rented Return of the King and Matrix Revolutions last night with a friend who's temporarily home from college. Revolutions -- well, the shiny special effects appealed to me a lot. Still like the first one best, though. It's been ages since I read the LotR books or saw either of the earlier movies, so it was a couple minutes before I started remembering what was going on. Eating during the first few scenes was definitely a mistake, though. Ew. We also watched the Angel and Smallville season finales -- ( half a sentence of sort of spoilers )

-- for a grand total of I think seven hours of TV? Ah, well. It was fun.

I am so not going to talk about the graduation practice march thing that's happening this afternoon. Nope, not a word.

I said I wasn't going to write about graduation prep.

I lied.

Trying to get seniors to move in straight alphabetical alternating boy/girl lines in an orderly fashion? Is evidently a whole lot like herding cats. Evidently graduation will be at Featherland even if it's pouring, rather than inside in one of the gyms or something, which is probably just as well because I'm sure the squishiness of trying to get ridiculous quantities of people in a small location would be just as bad as the squishiness of mud and rain and all that jazz. I hope it doesn't rain.

Senior barbecue was rather disappointing. I think less than half of the seniors were there, and the food was disappointing, especially the watermelon which my brother discovered bent, rubberlike, in all directions. (The fruit as well as the rind.) Which I don't think watermelon is supposed to do. Also, everyone ate inside in spite of the beautiful weather. Yes, I did too, because I'm a sheep. Shut up.

Also, if you block yourself on AIM, you can still send yourself messages. Um, not that I have any reason to know this. This sentence no verb. -- I really need to find something to do, huh?
