On Saturday, I went to Hollywood Video and rented "Spellbound", which I have not had a chance to watch yet. I try to avoid going to Hollywood Video because I have a late fee there that, for whatever reason, I have refused to pay. The teenage movie guy looked up my account number, and he decided that he would put an end to my late-fee dodging ways.
Movie Guy: Sir, you have a late fee for "The Mexican".
Brian: (feigning confusion) Really? Maybe someone else rented it on my account.
Movie Guy: Sir, I can't let you rent this until I collect the fee.
Brian: (Panicking) Can't I pay it later?
Movie Guy: Sir, you rented that movie in 2002. That will be $9.25 altogether.
Brian: I only have $7 in cash.
Movie Guy: We take credit cards.
Damn! It was a low moment, being forced to pay for a video rental with my credit card. For "The Mexican", no less. At least now they can take my "Wanted" poster off the wall behind the register.
Yesterday, I played golf with my Dad, my godfather, and Fernald. We played at a course up in Rowley, which was very difficult and caused me to play as if I had never picked up a golf club before. Fernald did well on the first hole, but then fell apart like the rest of us. I believe there was 1 par on the day between four of us. But enough of this golf talk.
Later in the evening, Jacko came down to play tennis with Steve, Irf, Fernald, and I (actual tennis, not MarioTennis). Since there were five of us, we played a doubles match with one person rotating in. That is, until Jacko had a John McEnroe moment and decided to pull himself from the game and go for a run. He would later make a triumphant return and beat all of us single-handedly! Okay, that's not true, but he did come back to play.
I have sent in my RSVP for a free screening of Napoleon Dynamite tomorrow at 7:00 at the Fenway AMC. If you click on the numbers on the left of the screen, you can listen to the sweet soundtrack.
See you in labor,
Brian
