YES! I now have a place to live. I'll be living in Quincy, MA. It's about half an hour south of Boston. I have found a place that is a four story house divided into a apartment building on each floor and the basement is for storage. Now, from what I have seen, it's a beautiful spacious three bedroom (on the 1st floor), with huge rooms (living, dining, kitchen), it has a washer and dryer in the building, and an awesome patio on the side of the house over looking the street. I will be living with two girls (Jessica and Erin, YES, Letha knows about them, and YES, she's okay with me living there). I am to meet with the girls on Sunday and discuss what furniture we need and house rules. It is very much like a college house. It has us three on the first floor, three guys on the second floor, and two girls on the top floor (hey, it's a guy sandwich...wait a minute...that means I'm on the bottom of three guys...okay scratch previous statement). Cable is already installed (thank god, SPORTSCENTER and THE LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN will be back in my life, after a two month absence). Erin is bringing a big screen TV (to which I'm thinking we hook up my surround sound set), and I'll have all of my stuff in my room. Jessica has warned us that the house likes to party (the house gets up and beak dances after a few too many tequila shots), as in when one floor throws one a lot of the time the whole house ends up throwing one, like I said it'll be like I'm in college. I'm syked to move in two and a half weeks. I can start moving in my stuff now, but not to over crowd my grandparents, I didn't bring a whole lot with me, so I don't really see the point of leaving a few boxes here and there. I'll just get all of the stuff from my grandparents all at once.
That's all for now, had a lazy day. Imported all of my CDs that I have here into my computer. Then did 2 miles, now I'm tired and going to watch a DVD.
Till next time...

Waiting...
no I'm not talking about the movie starring Ryan Reynolds. I'm talking about me sittting back and finding out about the place I want to live. I should find out in the next couple of days...so let's keep our fingers crossed for good ol'Jason. I could use the good luck, as this blog will tell you soon.
Couple of things I'm thinking about right now...why is it that I have so little time when I go back to Indy for the first time? Letha warned me about trying to make too many plans when I need to pack up all of my things. I'm trying to be positive about it and thinking it won't take too long. But I want to see a bunch of my friends...
My father and I always discussed how a car can't have a name until it has some character...
And a car can't have character if it looks like every other car of the same make and model, it has to have distinguishing characteristics. Well Dad, you'd be proud to know my car now has a name...
BRUTUS
There is a reason I have decided to name him Brutus. In my opinion the version of the Chevy Impala that I have has a MEAN look to the front of it. Like it's just waiting to spring into action, which is one of the reasons why I like the car so much. But now it looks like it's eye brows are raised and is growling at you, as if he's a mean guard dog. And right now, he's pissed. What did I do to cause this effect you might ask?
I hit a flat-bed transportation truck on the way to work the other day, just barely, but I still hit it. I had my foot off both the gas and break, creeping towards a red light, when I got distracted by a building (I know...as Letha put it on MySpace, maybe I should have been distracted by a hot woman instead). My brain went on cruise control for a couple of seconds and then I heard KKKRRRRUUUUNNNNNNNNCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Both drivers were fine, the truck wasn't damaged as I went under the rear bumber. If it had been a regular vehicle, I would have tapped it with no damage to either auto. But as it stands, it buckled my hood, scratched my bumber, and broke a headlight. The good news it's all cosmetic damage, so it's still drivable. Bad news is I can't open the hood so I can't do all the regular stuff, like checking my oil level. So I have to figure out how to get it fixed and soon.
So Brutus felt like he had to bite the ass of the truck and now I'm paying for it. But at least I know he's trying to protect his master.
I've included some pics for your savage amusement. Go ahead and laugh, I've already cried about it (internally of course).

The Internet is back...
So, I got back the connection that I thought I'd lost. So I'm excited about that. But there are some things I'm not so excited about...
It doesn't look like the premiere of CRAZY ABOUT YOU is going to happen, which sucks but that's what happens when I drop the ball and don't get the rough cut done before I moved out here to Boston.
I have to get new plates for my car, which seems like it's going to be a BIG hassle.
The fact that the RED SOX can go on a 12 winning streak and then lose 3 of 4 to the DEVIL RAYS? What the F?
But hey there are some things to be excited about...
Shane pointed out a trailer for HOLLYWOODLAND, looks really good. But there are some other trailers that have gotten pretty excited about films coming out:
THE GROOMSMAN - A movie about guys that won't make any money, but looks like a good story and I like most of the actors in it.
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING - So I REALLY liked the remake and was REALLY bored watching the original, but this prequel looks good. It's not hard to make a good horror flick, hope this team pulls it off again.
THE LADY IN THE WATER - I am one of a hand full of people that enjoyed watching THE VILLAGE, so much that I bought it. I enjoy M. Night's movies and should be entertained here. Plus Paul Giamatti is in it, and he's always good(underrated performance in CINDERELLA MAN).
CLERKS 2 - Never seen a Kevin Smith movie I didn't like. Bring on the hillarious stupid jokes that made him what he is today.
MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND - Who's never thought of their ex as someone that has super powers, mostly to drive you nuts...looks like a good time for either male or female.
THE ZODIAC - Looks like a freaky movie about a serial killer, based on a true story, even the preview freaks me out.
SPIDER-MAN 3 - Looks like Sam Raimi is doing for these movies what Bendis does for the Ultimate line of this character...JUST ROCK IT OUT! Wow, it looks like it'll deliver everthing we want and more.
TRANSFORMERS - What the hell, I'm all excited and then the teaser announcement trailer is absolute crap, doesn't make any sense to me. I ust want to know, do we get to see the classic line of Autobots and Decipticons? Maybe I'll get reallt excited once I can see a real teaser trailer.
THE QUIET - Another freaky movie but this time has Elisha Cuthbert playing the creepy role.
On another note I have made the time to see a few movies lately:
CLICK - exactly what you think it would be, but funny and good for the family
FAST & THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT - better than the 2nd one, still no where near the first
CARS - great visual effects for an okay story about redemption
SUPERMAN RETURNS - good movie, a little long in some places, wish Singer would have done X3 instead
SCANNER DARKLY - fell asleep with half an hour to go, very dialogue heavy
So here's some pics from Cape Cod:
And here are some pictures from Letha and I on the 4th:
