Split Decision

So work continues to go well. Basically it's just weekends (including Friday) this month, which is a-ok with me as I get my footing and whatnot. I honestly love working there and really do look forward to each shift. It's still a little stressful what with the retarded DOS commands I have to memorize and their weird way of dealing with late fees and customer accounts etc. But all in all it's great. Have not yet asked about discounts but will soon. Basically all I want is free new releases, and like 1-2 nights. I feel like it would be in my best interest to watch new releases (even though from trailers you can get the jist) so I can answer questions when people ask. But I'm sorry, I'm not paying $6 to watch 'What Happens in Vegas', I mean my god people.

I also recommended we make a 'so and so's recommendations' board as a way of pushing low rental films, or catalogue (ie. 7 day) rentals. This will also be a good conversation starter possibly and if not hopefully some people (ie. smart people :P) will be interested in my recommendations. Sadly, since we're small we don't have every film every made, like the original King Kong, one of my faovurite films. But they've got Boogie Nights, Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire, Army of Darkness, Sunshine, Manhattan, The Fountain and Californication (Tv) as a start. Fuck kids movies is what I say. Well I might throw Enchanted on there actually.....

Other things in life are good. Had a happy dream/consequently sad in real life moment today, which was a pain to start out my day, but whatever. Fuck it. And fuck the individual if that's how they want to act. But really I don't mean that...:(

My webcam is also on the fritz so I'm not sure when new guitar vids will come. I have some recorded but I'm not a fan of them. During playback there's wicked crackling in the audio and it kinda kills everything. Might do Jessica by The Allman Brothers Band since there's no gain required.....Maybe with my new money I'll buy another cam, after picking up the Twin Peaks Gold Box and Batman The Animated Series Complete Collection that is.

Started watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia after Laura (I think) suggested it. It's great so far. Only on the third episode. Sadly it's not as witty and wacky as Arrested Development, or as offensive as The Sarah Silverman Program so it feels lacking, but it's great nonetheless and I'm sure it'll pick up as it goes along since I can't swing a fist without hitting someone whos recommended this show.

Realized I labelled a film I bought a while ago as 'Touch AND Evil' intead of 'Touch OF Evil'. Whoops.....

Oh believe me you, or you me...or whatever. I'll keep going, it's damn great. I'll probably watch a couple more episodes and then just buy the rest on DVD since they're cheap now.
