So, a few kick ass things I have done this week...
1. I cleaned up my house quite a bit, which I love.
2. I went to see "Kick-Ass" on Wednesday night.
3. I got to spend my friend Gillian's 21st Birthday with her and her sister.
4. I played Resident Evil 5 for approximately four hours today.
#1 - No real explanation needed I believe. I got my bathroom totally scrubbed. Clutter and trash picked up everywhere. All I really need to do is the typically dusting and mopping.
#2 - I will whole heartily vouch for this movie. I just saw on a new trailer where it was named "Number One movie in America". I can testify that the title is completely deserved. The first few trailers really told you nothing about what the film truly entailed, which I find only adds to the film's awesome and awe quality. I really don't want to include any spoilers, but I will say expect the unexpected. The young actors do a beautiful job, and Nick Cage hasn't performed this great in years.
I am really pushing for the sequel they could have set themselves up to have in a short while.
#3 - Hooray! Gillian is fully legal! Clane and I met Gillian, her sister Nikki, and Nikki's husband Drew over on their more western side of town. At first we met them at a place called FuNuGuyz (fuh-new-guiz). Evidently this is some military slang that translates to "Fucking New Guys". **Please see below for more information.**
We finished the night out at a small bar called "Neighbors". The bartender was a wonderfully aged woman who was so sweet and kind. It wasn't crowded and we were all able to kick back, have a few drinks, laugh, and get to know each other. I left feeling as though it were one of the best chill nights I had the chance to experience in quite some time.
***Regardless, the night did not begin without problems. I am almost 27 years old and Clane is already 27. I lost my license a few months ago at some random bar, and Clane hasn't replaced his since he was 20. I have a Identification Card that I got when I was 19. Both forms of our I.D. are completely legal and vertical as opposed to the horizontal forms the state of Arizona switched to awhile ago. We can buy tobacco, buy pornography, open bank accounts, purchase glue and spray paint, and up until we encountered FuNuGuyz we could purchase alcohol with our vertical forms of identification. Not only were we denied service, but we were asked to leave. The manager who I requested to speak to explained it was an Arizona Liquor Board law that the owner insisted they follow. Regardless, I will never be returning, and that is too bad for FuNuGuyz since I'm irish, young, and spend far too much money on alcohol each time I decide to drink. We did not let this display of ignorance ruin our good time though, and while my ego was hurt, we moved on.
#4 - It would seem despite my fear that I am quite good at killing zombies. Well at least las plagas infected people, dogs, and chickens. I had a great deal of fun spending time with Clano and relaxing on the couch while learning the game. I used the type b controller option on the ps3 which helped me out a great deal. It doesn't hold me responsible to make all the camera changes for angles as the other types do. Type B mostly forces the camera to follow my movement, but allowing me to shift my view quickly with the right joystick. I do have one comical story involving my game time today....
I was doing slightly above average for a first timer of Resident Evil. Therefore, I was beginning to feel like "Billy Badass" as my mom would always say. I ran ahead, leading the way down some sewers. As I rounded a corner in the tunnel, I was met by a pack of rabid, zombie dogs that immediately lunged at my face. At this point, several things happened simultaneously in the game and in real life on my couch. First, I slammed my thumb into the left arrow on the D-pad to switch from my machine gun to my shotgun which I remembered being instructed to do when attacked by snarling, gooey, zombie dogs which catapulted my brain into phase two of my subconscious plan. I screamed aloud in such a shrill, girlish fashion that it caused Clane to jump back a little. Phase three in my split second course of action was to cover my face with my controller while continuing to whimper as I made Chris Redfield turn and run away like the little bitch I am.....Eventually I gathered myself together and blasted them in the face with my shotty. After the incident, we had to pause so I could tinkle....Fun Times..
