also: DUUUUDE, there's gonna be a National Treasure 2 and it actually looks GOOD. OMG I CAN'T WAIT.

in other news, I'm going to a football game today. Me, going to a football game. *sigh* the things I do for college applications... I know next to nothing about football. Oh well, it should be... interesting.

football game! no wait, a movie!

omfg. nearly every staff person my dad and I encountered was so fucking incompetent. nobody knew what the hell was going on and we finally found the check-in area almost by sheer chance. it was in the BASEBALL stadium, wtf? anyways, we got our little badges and sat in the stands and listened for a while to some boring, absolutely predictable speeches and then we finally got to have lunch. except there was so much noise that we couldn't really talk as a group around the table, so sitting with some old alumni guy was really... not very interesting. so, after lunch we're getting bored and we decide why not just go and have the free ice cream and check out the football stadium (we've never been in before). the ice cream was the best part. LOL then we went to a little academic fair thing and the people THERE had no clue what they were talking about, even when we asked questions! "uh.... you can check out the website for more information..." oh shut up. boring as hell. so we waited around until the stadium opened and only then did we look at our tickets.

imagine a football stadium with about 3 tiers of stands. now put me and my dad at the top of the third tier. that's about where our seats were. so we pretty much said no right then, but we went up to the top anyway, just to see. OMG IT'S FUCKING HIGH UP. AND STEEP. and there was no way in hell I would've willingly sat there for more than five minutes. so then after carefully climbing down (we should've used harnesses and rope!) we took an express elevator down to the field level and hung out there for a few minutes. and then we left, because we're so not sports people.

and we went to see a movie instead! MUCH MORE FUN. we saw Death at a Funeral, which is a British black comedy and omg it was HILARIOUS. I'm so glad it came back to theaters here; it was here during the film festival but only at the beginning, so I missed it then. ( minor review-type spoilers )

so that was it. except now I have a headache because I think I've had too much caffeine and not enough food. *sigh* that was so much better than sitting through a football game omg. and now I feel like a bit of a rebel because of skipping out on the game. hahahahaha

but seriously, Death at a Funeral: FTFW. go see it if it's at a theater anywhere near you.
