I was bored last night and was wasting time while I waited for Marissa to finish up what she was doing and I found myself reading my old blog entries on Xanga. These blog entries were from 2004 and 2005 and quite honestly, I found them to be pretty entertaining. It also got me thinking that I actually wrote interesting things back then and now I feel like what I write is rather boring. Not sure if it's just re-reading things of how I felt 4-5 years ago and feeling nostalgic has to do with it but I just felt like I put more effort into what I wrote back then and it had an edge to it, while now I feel like my writing is like something out of an operation manual (step 1, step 2, step 3, et al).

Last night we saw Pineapple Express and it was really boring! Half way through I turned to Marissa and really contemplated stopping the movie and doing something else. I stayed with it and it was okay but overall I didn't find the movie funny really. Towards the end there were some decent gags but generally I found the film boring and the jokes dumb (yes, even too dumb for me). I'll add Pineapple Express to the list of over-hyped movies.
