Bah!

What a lousy freaking week. Normally I wanna try to keep bitching to a minimum on this site, but jeez, I think it's warranted now. For the most part, the worst part of this week was the weather. Gray skies, low temperatures, high wind chill, and ankle deep mud made the sawmill an even less enjoyable experience than usual. Throw in the fact that just about every machine on the place broke down, and my misery quickly compounded. On Thursday we went and watched "Saw". Ugh. The premise of "Saw" is incredibly terrifying. The idea that some looney could break into your house, abduct you, and then lock you in a room with some complex, virtually escape-proof deathtrap, is a very, very scary idea. Unfortunately, the execution of the movie is beyond pathetic. The film suffers from bad acting, worse directing, and plot holes so big you can drive a Mac Truck through them. On Friday I rented "Mortal Kombat: Deception" for the Xbox and spent most of the night screaming obscenities at the screen. Needless to say, I wasn't very good at the game.

But the ultimate indignity came last night. Went to a buddy's house to play some Texas Hold 'em. Didn't get a hand the whole freaking night, then when I finally get a FLUSH (I'll repeat that, a FLUSH), and go all in, what does Jesse "I always got a hand" Brooks calls. Guess what, Brooks has a FULL HOUSE. Gyahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only upsides to this week were the new comics that came out, and I rented a surprisingly good anime entitled "Tokyo Godfathers". If you want to watch a different kind of anime, one that tells a slice of life kind of story, check this one out. It's great.
