TM #237 - It's your birthday!

[nerdherdchuck]

My birthday last year was...kinda on the awkward side. My sister Ellie had only invited one of my friends - just Morgan. The rest of the guests were female friends of hers and the hope was that I'd take an interest in one of them.

So uh...this year....I kinda hope I get to plan my own birthday.

I dunno what I'd do really. I mean...birthdays were a bigger deal when I was a kid. There was a whole theme to it and stuff. If you couldn't be one of those lucky kids that could have their birthday parties at the cool places or have a bouncy castle in your backyard, you better have planned some cool activities.

I mostly just had some party games and a couple videos to watch and the kids wore like Star Wars party hats or something.

Nothing special.

Anyway...back to this year...

Maybe...instead of a party, we could just have a nice dinner somewhere instead. Keep things small. I don't really need anything fancy, you know?

Yeah...that does sound kinda hypocritical, doesn't it?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I think we stop listening to each other, if I have to be honest.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Sorta, yeah.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

It is not a good thing.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

When we get married, we should be certain to listen to our wives so they will not get upset with us.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a good plan. *smiles*

I think Ellie and Awesome sometimes need to be reminded of that. Cuz...well, they've had fights about that sorta stuff.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Perhaps part of your duty as brother-in-law will be to remind them of that.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Maybe it will be, yeah.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I already figure it will part of mine. Though neesan will most likely tell me to get lost when I offer her advice.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

You never know...she might not. Depends...on how things are going at the time, you know?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. It would only happen once in a great while. After all, one cannot misuse their powers.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Very true. *smiles*

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"With great power comes great responsibility." I think that is the most important lessons I learned from Spiderman.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that line certainly rings true.

Have you seen all the Spiderman movies, Hiro?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

*Hiro nods.* And have all of them on DVD. I liked #2 best, I think.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

It's a tough call for me between 1 & 2. But I was a bit disappointed by 3.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I was as well. I think I like #2 better because Doc Ock is always a very scary villain. And they did such a wonderful job wth the effects for him.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Oh definitely. It was amazing they could pull off the mechanical arms they way they did. You'd swear they were there.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

*Hiro nods enthusiastically.* And when he threw the car? That was awesome.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah! *happily grins, just thinking about it*

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Of course, the Green Goblin effects were very good, too, but the tentacles were so amazing.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they were pretty cool.

And even though 3 wasn't the greatest movie, the effects for the Sandman were pretty good too.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

*Hiro nods.* That would be such a neat job, working on sfx on movies.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah...definitely. I think it would be a lot of fun. A lot of hard work though but still...it would be neat.
