I can't sleep so I think I'll just lay down some of my thoughts...
There's really not much interesting stuff going on with me right now... I'm back in Santa Barbara for the summer, yet the guy who's supposed to give me a summer job still hasn't come to fill out paperwork and stuff yet, so I'm not sure when I'm gonna start working. Basically my days consist of lots of gaming, whether it's League of Legends with my roommates, American McGee's Alice on my computer, or just playing whatever on the PS3. So interesting huh? Still haven't seen HP7.2 yet, though hopefully that will change tomorrow. Speaking of Harry Potter, I don't think that 7.1 is as great as everyone says it is... "IT'S SUCH A GOOD MOVIE ASILHDFUBGHA!" eeh... Half of it was all talk and them walking and camping... The other half certainly was amazing and awesome and magical, it's just the looooong parts of them searching in the woods that got to me. Well, I guess you've got to have some slow parts if you're splitting a book into 2 movies right?
Anyhoo, I finished L.A. Noire for the PS3, and I have to say that game is quite amazing. It was definitely unlike any game I've ever played before and I was astonished. Now I always say that graphics don't make a game, and I don't care about them at all, except for this case. This game actually used the graphics to its full potential to help with the great story and gameplay. Basically you're a detective and you have to go around solving cases. This includes interrogating people and judging whether they're lying or telling the truth simply by reading their facial expressions. Of course you can't make it too blatantly obvious or it would be too easy, but they did a good job of keeping things subtle. I never went through one case where I correctly judged the validity of a person's statement every time... I also really liked the setting in 1940s America, and my favorite part of the game was going through the Black Dahlia arc.
Now I'm REALLY not looking forwards to our 4th roommate (Daniel) moving in. He's a nice guy and all, but he has no filter on his mouth. He can practically insult people without realizing it, and I'm pretty sure he's not the most truthful person around. Twice already he has said things that really hurt me and he hasn't even moved in yet... And with him, there should always be a conversation going on. When we're not talking, me and my two other roommates (Zach and Mike) are fine just sitting around keeping to ourselves, because sometimes we just want some quiet time. I have plenty of stories about this guy, you'll probably hear more in future rants but here's one Zach told me: Daniel called Zach to make sure that things were settled. To be nice Zach asked him how his trip was (he was in Israel) and he went on and on and on literally until the money on his phone card ran out. Zach told me he was watching TV and just sitting there with his phone in his hand... lol... It's not such a big deal. Zach, Mike, and I are very tolerant, but if we snap, Zach and Mike can pull the circuit breaker to the rest of the house and have electricity go only into their room (where I'll be too). *evil grin*
A couple more points:
-Some people on Facebook REALLY need to shut up
-It makes me sad when old friends don't talk anymore
-The world can always use some more good people
-I love you for reading this

Tommy, can you hear me?
7:30
Nokia Theater, Los Angeles
Paul Freeman graced the stage with a surprisingly amazing opening act. Armed with just an acoustic guitar and his voice, this Welshman practically blew my mind away. Usually opening acts are just filler that lots of people skip out on, but I'm very glad I witnessed his performance. His guitar strumming sounded beautiful and his voice was so powerful yet so lovely. He also covered The Traveling Wilburys' "Handle With Care"! :D Definitely gotta check out more of his stuff!
Roger Daltrey came on around 8:00-8:15ish. BOOM the Tommy Overture started and everyone got up. In case you don't know Roger Daltre
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Prepare yourself for a rant (maybe a bit of spoilers too).............
fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!
God damn I haven't been this mad in such a long time! This movie was so fucking TERRIBLE! It's not a good thing for a film when you hate EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER AND WANT THEM ALL TO JUST DIE SO THAT THIS TRASH WILL BE OVER! Oh my god... Oh my fucking god... I knew Revenge of the Fallen was shit (I haven't seen it) and my friend was like "OMG Geoff! Let's see Transformers 3 after AX it looks a lot more awesome!" so I complied... BIG MISTAKE! It started off meh, so I was like why not give it a chance to redeem itself after all the bad thing
Why...
Why give love to all if you're not gonna get any back?
Devious Journal Entry
hello hello hello!
just checking in with all of you! Summer school finished in September (thank god) and now I hate psychology! boooooo....
Anyhow, college this year round is pretty cooler than last year, considering that I have five awesome house-mates. About one half of the household plays pokemon and various musical instruments, two guys play a lot of Starcraft and WoW, and we all just get along pretty well. One Friday night, we had a Magic: The Gathering draft in order to build decks to use against each other (yeah, we're pretty geeky). Also, I've also got back in the process of watching a lot of stuff. I finally finished Doctor W

I completely agree about the first part of Harry Potter 7...a lot of it felt a though it was just dragging on and on. HP 7.2 is pretty awesome though! My favorite movie was the Prisoner of Azkaban, and book was Half Blood Prince. What are yours?
L.A. Noire sounds intriguing...I want to play it now
Oh my, have fun with your new roommate, he sounds like such a delightful little prick. Teach him who's boss!
