Late Night TV movie marathons

I have come to the conclusion my sleeping pattern is wildly erratic. Especially with cold season, and me not getting sick usually, I'm up later than usual. All weekend I have procrastinated, doing home instead sleeping to a ripe 3 in the afternoon! And look where it's gotten me...now it's 3 in the morning and I'm wide awake. In efforts to make myself sleepy, I lay on the couch watching TV for about 3 hours. The latter two of which I watched Max Payne. I do enjoy good action movies, and this one was alright. Actually, no in retrospect it was quite awful and horribly cliche. And it all goes back to, the military. There's always some secret agenda there, some hidden products experiments and testing they do on people involved in the military. And countless movies have portrayed the military and its secret government projects as villains. It will be the downfall of society as we know it. And what is with cutting off the ending so that we don't get to find out what happens? As Mark Whalberg kneels on the edge of the roof, full of bullet holes as the SWAT team comes tearing up the stairs..Movies are awful these days, everything has been done and there is absolutely no creativity left. I've yet to see any new movie with a smidgen of originality. And if I'm going to spend about 50 dollars at the movie theaters plus another 10 for gas, I expect the movie to be well worth my while!
Speaking of gas prices, people were all excited when the prices dropped. Has anyone noticed the prices beginning to creep back up again? I sure have, and this summer, all I'll be able to do is drive to work! It's quite ridiculous. Now if the public transportation system in the tri-cities was the least bit efficient I wouldn't mind taking the bus. As it were, it really sucks. And notice all the creepy people who ride the transit. Not to mention the bus comes by only once every hour, and it takes anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half to get anywhere. Talk about inconvience! In any case, I'm not complaining. I suppose it could be loads worse, we could be one of those third world countries that don't have running water and women can't go to school...
