Bowling, Lazy Days, and Sassy Sunday

Day 2 of nothingness is fantastic. I am starting to feel human again. Last night, Melissa, Phil, Adrian, and I went bowling.

It is such a silly little thing but I love it! I'm an awful bowler but I find it so interesting. It is a challenge that I'm always willing to take! Three pitchers of beer helped me think that I was pretty good too. :) No worries though, Adrian and Phil helped me drink them so I wasn't a complete mess. I almost fell down once but I'm going to blame that on my ball being really heavy...and the wind... Melissa left this morning and I miss her already! She took The Gargoyle with her and I hope she likes it. I've been slacking on my progress with Tempest so I'm going to take some time today to finish it.
My car is officially dead! At least I think it is. It could just be a dead battery but that seems unrealistic. The battery in it is only a year old. I think Becky has just given up on her life. So until I figure out what's wrong with it, I'm on foot. I don't really mind walking. This town is so small that it is only about a 25 minute walk from one side to the other. It will probably make me more organized. The weather has been so nice lately that it can't be a rough deal. In the meantime, I told my mom not to renew the registration. I'll be mourning the loss of my Becky, but she's gone to a better place.

It is Sassy Sunday!! Today I'm getting on my soapbox about party movies. Every so often, a movie maker thinks that he/she can make an epic party movie that will break the mold. Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Sixteen Candles, Can't Hardly Wait, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Girl Next Door, American Pie, Not Another Teen Movie, Mean Girls, She's All That, and Project X are all examples of movies with epic parties where teens get wasted and young men try to get laid. Everyone wants to throw the party of the year. Who doesn't want to be responsible for the celebration that people will never forget? My problem with these movies is how unbelievably unrealistic they are. They depict high school and college in a way that is entirely untrue. The idea that you can throw the party of the year, have a band, have booze, have your parents away, and not get caught or arrested is just...ridiculous! I wish it could happen, I really do. It just doesn't. Especially when these parties take place in a nice neighborhood in the middle of a large city. In horror movies, all the teenagers get dismembered at the big party. In comedies, the boys get made into men or completely humiliated. In the drama, girls get raped and beaten. I don't know about most people, but I've never been at a party where any of those things have happened. Well...maybe some boys got made into men...but...whatever. My point is: STOP making teenaged party movies! They are so tired. They are unoriginal, corny, and lately...they aren't even funny. I can't believe that they make that much money anymore. Give it a rest. Make movies with original thought instead...that would be really refreshing.
