Collected Thoughts

This weekend I went to a shooting range, it was the first time I ever did anything like this, and it was kind of fun. It was a bit crowded so my coworker (who took me) and I ended up in the rifle area and couldn't shoot at handgun targets. We were shooting hand guns.

Also, the first disc of Cowboy Bebop came and I watched most of it. It's kind of interesting. I had heard, in different places, that Firefly was way too similiar to Cowboy Bebop. Also Outlaw Star, which I've added to my netflix queue. Other than both Cowboy Bebop and Firefly being in space and having an old ship I can't see any simliarites.

My bro rented Better Off Dead and Breakfast Club because his fiance had never seen them, we all ended up watching Better Off Dead, I hadn't seen it in a long time and both Mom and I were laughing our asses off. They wanted to get One Crazy Summer but Blockbuster didn't have it.

Then I went to a birthday celebration for my uncle who's in town from California, he's one of the people who has slightly discouraged me when I talk about moving to CA, my grandma, one aunt, and he always go on about how expensive it is to live in CA. he got me this great cd of world music for xmas. It's world lounge music and I really like it. The label puts out all kinds of world music compelations.

I hate the weather right now. It's supposed to be 76F tomorrow. SEVENTY SIX! It's January for god's sake. Where is the cold weather? I hate this. Not only are my warmer weather clothes packed away but I've gained weight and most of the shirts are too tight now.

Also, I hate that weekends seem really short. I slept half the day today and then went to a birthday party for the other chunk. And I got caught up in a book. I'm reading The Danish Girl, which is inspired by the life of Lili Elbe, born Einar Wegener, who I think was the first transexual. A biography, Man into Woman, was written and I want to read that, it seems that the fictionalized account of Lili Elbe's life changed some important facts. The novel made Elbe's wife/companion into an American when she was really Danish.
