More money gone = more DVD's

Yup, you read it correctly, I bought more DVD's again from my favorite store, Buybacks! I bought 5 movies. Which I'll talk about in a bit.

So, yesterday I had a pretty good day aside from work. I worked from 7a to 3:30p. At 3, my nintendo rep at work came in and put in Mario Kart Wii. Woot! I played it on my shift(because I needed to do "product research" haha). I do like what I played of it, the controls arn't very tight, it's kind of loose steering, but I had fun. I think it's just Mario Kart in itself. I'll still be getting Mario Kart on Sunday as my last part of my Birthday gift from my fiancee. I'll be buying a seperate wheel($9.99 retail seperate), so I have an extra wheel to play with my fiancee.

After work, my uncle who is going to be my best man in my wedding (official DATE: September 27, 2008), came over and we played Rock Band from 5p to 7:30p, it was a blast, we had our own band going and everything. We alternated on the instruments, I think he is better on the drums, so that is what he did more. I do want to purchase a stool for the drum set, like Sixty does, doing what I do now hurts my legs and back to much(it's just not comfortable on the couch).

Then we went to Buybacks after picking up his girlfriend. They bought Grandma's Boy(which I already own-thought it was funny!) and they also got the Desent(SP?)-the horror movie with the cave creatures(I am not a big fan of it-it was a watch once kind of movie to me).

Anyways, I got the movie Seven(Brad Pitt/Morgan Freeman/Kevin Spacey)-if you've never seen that movie, go get it now! Got it for $4.99. I also got XXX(Vin Disel) and XXX: State of the Union(Ice Cube). Heard the second was good, so I had to get the first to see what it was all about. I actually enjoyed XXX, I was surprised. I got both of those for $3.99 each. I also got a Beautiful Mind(Russel Crowe) because everyone I've talked to about it, said it was superb, so I figured for $4.99, what the hell, eh? Then I was ready to check out, but was overcome with this sensation that I was missing a good priced gem. So, I went through every movie for the 4th time and found it..Full Metal Jacket for $5.99. I've been wanting that movie and for 6 bucks, it was a steal. If you haven't seen that movie, you should see it too. Kick ass movie.

One disapoint I have is, I had Sweeney Todd in my hands for $8.99. I put it back, I wish I didn't because I loved that movie, I try not to go over 4.99, sometimes I do for certain movies, so basically I was being a cheap skate and turned it down. DAMNIT! Oh well, I want to go back Saturday, hopefully I'll find it there again.

Anyways, that concludes my blog.

Upcoming purchase: GTA4 (I'm about 85% sure I'll get it after being talked into it).
