I forgot to recap last weekend since this is the final weekend for September. Its was very decent, probably the best 48 hours so far, unlike other weekends. I mostly experimented with my Nikon N70 35mm SLR camera during those two days. I freakin' love that thing. Makes me reminisce the day that I used to shoot photos with film back in high school. I used the Kodak Ektar 100 speed roll of film. Its recommended for shooting outdoor landscapes, but I took alot of indoor photos with it, so the prints will pretty much be about a stop underexposed. Again, its been awhile since I shot with film. Thanks again for the camera Kent and Robin.
I also got a chance to cover my friend Nicole's house party for a friend of hers on Saturday Night. They had two bands performing there, with Nicole being in one of them. Performance was beyond excellent from both bands. I was very fortunate enough to record a video clip of one of the songs using the Nikon D5000 (which I was shooting with that night along with the N70) video recording feature. I met a lot of great people there, and reunited with some peoples from Junior High that I haven't seen since graduation day back in 2002. Then the next day, I went to my friend Frank's house to watch some NFL games in HD and he showed me the NFL Red Zone feature on his DirecTV service. That pretty much cuts back and forth to whatever game in which whatever team is in the Red Zone, or at least 20 yards in the opposing teams territory. Saves time from switching the channels on NFL Sunday Ticket. There were 4 things in the NFL that was fan-fucking-tastic that day.
1. Randy Moss' one handed touchdown catch.
2 and 3. Speaking of Moss, the Patriots losing to the Jets, as well as Tom Brady admitting that his team sucked. But they'll win in Foxboro once they face New York again later
4. Texans defeating the Redskins in overtime. Game of the week right there. Just everything about that game made it interesting.
5. The Forty-Niners' performance against the champs New Orleans Saints on Monday Night. Even though they lost, the pulled alot of points on the board and maintained the lead for a while. Could've been a hell of an upset had they won.
Yes, that was five, but they were great though. That one of the reasons why I like watching the NFL.
This past week was pretty much stale and dull as usual. Typical family situations, politics of the real world, and the gay-ass fall TV premieres I didn't see (except for House M.D. I saw like the first 10 minutes of it, then turned it off cause it felt like I was watching the sex scenes from Titanic back when I saw it for the first time in 1998). The only highlight of that week was going to Hollywood with a close homeboy of mine from high school. Coincidentally, they had the red carpet premiere for the Fifty-something-Generation X-cougar/chick flick film You Again at the El Capitan Theatre. I witnesses Jamie Lee Curtis and Sigourney Weaver wearing the same dress, which I thought was cool. Plus they both looked fantastic, even though we were at the top of the Hollywood and Highland buildings looking at a distance. Then two actresses that I've never heard of in my life showed up. They were also part of the main cast, and finally I saw Betty White's 80-something years at the premiere. There were some VIP-ish type fans holding fans with her face on it. Maybe those are the same fuckers who organized a petition on Facebook to pull her old ass out of retirement so that she can host Saturday Night Live. That would've been a good time for MadTV (remember that funny-ass shit?) to still be around.
After that, we checked out a Slipknot concert that they were featuring for one night only inside the Chinese Theater. That shit was so fantastic. It felt like I was actually there. I've seen alot of people wearing Slipknot T-shirts and pins through out the past couple of years, but never got a chance to check out their music. Great, great stuff. Then later, we went to Hollywood Hooters across the street to feast on dinner. I haven't ate there since I took my friend Matt Sun there for his 21st birthday back in March of 2008, the day I met Maria Kanellis again at the old Virgin Megastore across the street for her Playboy magazine cover that month. There's a reason why I don't frequent at that Hooter's restaurant that much: the waitresses.
EDITORS NOTE: I'm about to go into single lifeless all male/guy mode here at this point. So all the female readers there, don't feel offended to what I'm about to say.
Now Hooters is known for having attractive waitresses for having... gynormus hooters, so to say. When I went there last time, all of them there weren't so gynormus. Fast forward to Wednesday night, the waitresses were moderately decent and nice and fuckin' attractive as usual, but ours that night wasn't. That bitch was the only waitress wearing a sweater and a pair of jeans, while they should've be wearing a tight white tank top with orange short shorts (and I mean short and tight). She looked like she came from class at a community college. I'm surprised the manager let her dressed like that. Oh, and shoutout to my homeboy Chris Romero for taking care of the dinner. I'm sure as fuck wouldn't leave her a tip, which I do almost every time I go into a restaurant to feast some good culinary gourmet luncheon and/or dinner.
End single lifeless all male/guy mode.
Other than that, that's pretty much my week. By the way, Lindsay Lohan get sentenced to jail again yesterday and.... I'm gonna stop there. I'm sure y'all know the rest. I'm already fed up with that shit. Why can't Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson tag-team with her (not in pro-wrestling) and make movies together cause that's what The Rock has been doing for the past fucking decade so that this publicity shit ever since Mean Girls was released in 2004 would've never happened. But then again, those past six years shows that drugs really does demonstrate wonders.
